kets, laundry-bags, pincushions, sofa-pil¬ 
lows, etc. The little screen completely 
fitted with sewing materials is a decided 
addition to the appearance as well as the 
usefulness of the room. Tufted cushions 
of the cretonne may be added for white or 
wicker furniture. Thus birds seem to be 
lighting everywhere. No treatment of the 
subject would be complete without consid¬ 
ering also other unique blue bird acces¬ 
sories for the dresser and table. There 
are pin-trays, trinket holders, hair-re¬ 
ceivers, hatpin holders, vases and rose 
howls, all with blue bird motifs in Copen¬ 
hagen effects. Some of these are pictured. 
Pretty as they are they are not costly, 
ranging in price from thirty-five cents up. 
If anyone is interested in the prices of the 
blue bird papers shown, they cost from 
forty-five to sixty cents a roll; the cre¬ 
tonnes cost from thirty-five to eighty-five 
cents per yard. The aim has been to con¬ 
fine ourselves to decorations which, though 
artistic, are inexpensive. 
So it will be seen that this is a blue bird 
year. It may or may not be a fad. If it 
is one, it chances to be what is not always 
the case with fads, a lovely one. 
The Seventeen Year Locust 
Appears 
(Continued from page 431) 
knowledge of the distance it will fall before 
it reaches the ground. On reaching the 
ground it at once enters it through a crack 
and begins its long period of development, 
out of the sight of man, only to come forth 
again at the end of seventeen years. 
During this long period underground 
the larva sheds or moults its skin a num¬ 
ber of times, and. attaching itself to the 
tender fibrils of plants, it derives its nour¬ 
ishment from these, with occasional shift¬ 
ing to other fibrils as the different ones 
cease giving forth the juices so needful to 
its development. As the Cicada under¬ 
ground takes such a long period for its 
development, there is little or no damage 
done to the trees or shrubs on whose roots 
it feeds. 
There is a false notion abroad concern¬ 
ing the so-called sting of the Cicada, and 
every once in a while we hear that some 
person has been stung to death by these 
so-called locusts, but the fact is that there 
is nothing to fear from them ; they can be 
handled and even mutilated without show¬ 
ing the slightest sign of resentment. Doubt¬ 
less there have been rare cases where the 
flesh of a human being has been pierced by 
the needle filaments on the sucking-beak of 
the male, or by the ovipositor of the fe¬ 
male, but as such cases are of doubtful rec¬ 
ord, there is absolutely nothing to fear 
from them in this respect. 
Gen. Jacqueminot 
npHE rose is universally conceded to be 
the queen of flowers, and Gen. 
Jacqueminot may be justly regarded as the 
king of roses! At least it has been proven 
so in this rose garden by many rose-loving 
friends, for after wandering around and 
duly admiring all the varieties their steps
