. Little folks in feathers and fur, and others in neither. liked that they are kept in cages. I dont suppose you ever heard that these funny little blackfellows, belong to the same family as the grasshoppers and locusts, and that they also have four wings. And more than that, they havefive bright yellow eyes, two large and three small ones. I think itmust be that they can see too well, for they dont like the light atall, and always run to their holes if one is brought into the room. They are very fond of water, and will even eat up damp clothesif they get a chance.

They have strong jaws and sharp fangs, and know how to use them. If you wish to enjoy the music of a Field Cricket in your house, it is said that you can keep them alive and happy in a paper?;, if you put plants in it, and keep them we
