Lyman’ Di'abrow_ watklng Democrat, Selling crickets is 8, lucrative. busi- ness in Japan. where the insects are valued for their songs and kept in cages like canary birds. In Tokyo there are two wholesale merchants who send their agents into the streets of the large cities. The insects are carried in little bamboo cages. A good seller clears approximately from 80 cents to a dollar a day. An insect valued for its music brings from 2 to 7 cents. The Kusa hibari is the most valuable of all the songsters, but the common cricket and the grasshopper are considered ex- cellent singers. It; is not surprising that Charles.

It owes its existence to a boundary controversy for the con- trol. of a once important zinc mine. A boundary commission settling the iron tiers of Holland and Prussia after the fall of Napoleon in 1814 was unable to agree upon the ownership of this tiny piece of land. with its Vgaluable ‘mining rights. and left the question for future settlement.

Milton's great poem is. as a mind expander, the most masterful thing in the hworld’s litera- ture. To be under its in is like standing out under‘ the star dome of the heavens. It appeals with tre- mendous power to the sense of the sublime in us and lifts us up to the peaks of wonder. awe and reverence. Homer is, of course. marvelous. and Dante is among the gods, but Milton overlaps them all when it comes -to mental and spiritual uplift and en- iargement, The \Paradise Lost” serves no utilitarian purpose, but it helps us to feel “God. freedom and immortali- ty.”-New York American. “An anodyne,\”patientiy explained a well known physician to a Woman pa- tient. “is u delusion.
