The firefly hunter starts forth at sun- aiea deit with a long bamboo pole and a bag pe ! mosquito netting. On reaching a off rnejiitable growth of willows near water e makes ready his net and strikes 'thine branches, twinkling with the with his pole, ch. This jars them to the ground where cahey .are easily gathered up. But it lust be done very rapidly, before they ht'ecover themselves enough to fly. So he skilled catcher, sparing no time to ut them at once into the bag, uses Pioth hands to pick them up and tosses rithhem lightly into his mouth! There rn le holds them unharmed until he can rreiold no more and only then transfers to the bag. j Jhem ogn; He works thus until about 2 o'clock seEn the morning, when the insects leave ranhe trees for the dewy soil. He then shanges his method. He brushes the surface of the ground with a light P)room to startle the insects into light; An Ln Jien he gathers them as before. a expert has been known to gather in a night. con of: Besides being a business, firefly :taching is a sport Little girls pur- II sue it with their fans, boys with wands to which a wisp of yam is fastened. yeiNor do the elders disdain to join the thport. They also organize festival paras ties to visit certain spots, long known ofand famous, to witness the beautiful 0 jspectacle of the fireflies swarming. bleSpecial trains, carrying thousands of ie visitors, are run during the season to inUji, the most renowned, to behold the Hotara-Kasseor Firefly Battle. Myriads of fireflies hovering over a f gentle river so swarm and cling that they appear at one time a in like a luminous 'cloud, again like uir great ball of sparks.

The gingham dog and the calico cat Side by side on the table sat; t 'Twas twelve, and (what do half-pas- . you think!) Nor one nor t'other had slept a wink! The old Dutch clock and the Chin-es- e plate Appeared to know as sure as fate There was going to be a terrible spat. (I wasn't there; I simply state t Bow-wow-wow- !" " And the calico cat replied, The air was littered, an hour or so, With bits of gingham and calico, While the old Dutch clock in the chimney place Up with his hands before its face. For it always dreaded a family row! (Now, mind; Im only telling you What the old Dutch, clock declares Me-ow!- : 801)1 dog went . is true!) The Chinese plate looked very blue. And wailed, Oh, dear! what shall we do! But the gingham dog and the calico cat Wallowed this way and tumbled that, Employing every tooth and claw In the awfulest way you ever saw And, oh! how the gingham and calico flew! (Dont fancy. I exaggerate I got my news from the Chinese plate! ) Next morning where the two had sat, They found no trace of dog or cat; And some folks think unto this day That burglars stole that pair away! But the truth about the cat and pup Is this: They ate each other up! JJow, what do you really think of that! (The old Dutch clock it told me so, And that is how I came to know.)

Yes, but she's got such a big mouth that there's always an echo, and that spoils the effect of her singing.
