By his sunny dispo* sition, his cheerful ways and his value as "bait", the grasshopper has endeared ? himself to the average country boy, in a way that is only surpassed by the lowly earthworm. A walk through the fields, or along a. dusty roadside in summer, a f would lack one of its charms if there t were no grasshoppers to aprlng up be- J fore one's footsteps, only to drop down fifteen or twenty feet away. Sometimes one will seem actually to enjoy your company, for instead of Jumping to one side aud letting you pass on, if. will alight right in your path, and wait until you are about to step on it before those wonderful legs straighten out with a jerk and shoots it another fifteen feet down the path.

When excited or-eaptured~ thftT frave an^ugly habit of excluding from the lips a dark brown, tbickish fluid that stains what* ever it touches. There are many kinds of grasshoppers, some are long aud slender with feelers longer than their bodies, others are short and stmngjy. Some are green, some are brown, while others are bright yellow, while still oth ers are almost black. ThVjMUaft at their enemies are legioh, iffearly all kinds of birds had rather dine on grasshopper* thau anything else.
