Insanity Among Ants.

A writer on this subject gives the fol-
lowing as to the effect of corrosive sub
Innate on ants
made several trials of it and found
it most eficacions in turning a large
column of ants. A little of itsprinkled
across their paths in dry weather has a
most surprising effect. AS soon as one
of the ants touches the white powder it
commences to run about wildly and to
attack any other ant he comes across.
In couple of hours round balls Of ants
will be found biting each other, and nu-
merous individuals will be found bitten
completely in two, while others have
lost some of their legs or antenn@.
News of the commotion is carried tothe
formicarium, and large fellows, meas
uring three-quarters of an inch in
length, that only come out Of the nest
during a migration or an attack on the
nest Of one of the working columns, are
seen sailing down with determined
air, as if they would soon right matters.
AS soon, however, as tt ey have touched
the sublimate, all their stateliness
leaves them; they rush about; their
legs are seized hold of by some of the
smaller ants already affected by the
poison; and they themselves begin to
bite, and soon become the centre of
fresh balls of rabid ants. The subli-
mate can only be used effectively in dry
weather.

The First American Colleges.

There were nine colleges in America
before the Revolutionary War broke
out. The first was Harvard College.
The second, that of William and Mary,
founded in 1892, and Virginia and Yale
Colleges are of the seventeenth century.
Princeton College was established in
1746 Eight years after the New Jersey
College was founded, and then New
York City took it's turn byfounding the
Kings College. A huge iron crown was
placed uponit as the emblem of royalty,
but this badge was subsequently re-
moved, and took the name Of Columbia
College. In 1775 Philadelphia procured
charter for the University Of Penn
sylvania. Then Rhode Island College
was established, but it afterwards took
the name of Nicholas Brown, and is
known os Brown College. In Connect
icut there lived a devoted pastor,
named Willard, in the town of Hanover,
and the man took it into his head to do
something for the red man. He found
ed school in New Hampshire, and out
Of that school there grew, in 1855, the
institution known as Dartmouth Col
lege. There was one more founded in
New Jersey, in ITO, and called the
Queens College, SO named by King
George, in honor of his wife but, fifty
years after the Revolution, this institu-
ton, like the Kings College, changed
it's name, and took the citizens name
of Rutgers College.

Health Hints.

Warm bread "packs" the stomach.
Don't eat it.
The best and safest toothwash is tepid
water.
Warmth, abstinence and repose, are
three excellent medicines.
In sleeping don't "curI' the body.
Sleep as straight as possible. Avoid
high pillows.
Never sit or sleep with cold feet.
A mixed diet of animal and vegetable
food is the best the vegetable portion
should predominate.
Regularity of the time in eating has
much to do with the preservation of
health. Do not eat late suppers.
Water standing for some time in a
room becomes impure, by absorbing
noxious vapors from the air.
All sleeping rooms should be
thoroughly ventilated The bedding
should be often changed and kept well
aired.
clay fever may be instantly reliev-
ed by bathing the nostrils and closed
eyelids with spirits of camphor and
warm water
Whoever eats "heavy" pie crust or
"soggy" bread commits crime against
his physical well-being and must pay
the penalty.
Thoroughly cleanse the cellar. Ven
tilate it from without, summer and
winter. Suffer no decayed vegetables
to remain in it.
Colds are often caught by standing
in an open hall or doorway during cold
weather. The transition of the cold
and warm currents causes the trouble.
An eminent physician thinks that
more than thirty thousand deaths are
caused annually by tight lacing.
Wet or damp clothes should be in
stantly removed 'Why % because
they rapidly chill the surface of the
body, the heat being carried off by

The Disturbances In Poland.

Writing on the 18th ult., the Warsaw
correspondent Of the Eastern Budget
says: "The riots which have taken
place in twenty-six districts Of the
United Greek exarchy of Chelm are not
without some political significance, and
have caused considerable excitement
among the Poles here. The papers
are not allowed to print anything on the
subject, and the consequence is that all
sorts of exaggerated rumors are circu-
lated about the conflicts between the
troops and the peasants in the above
districts. An authentic report has just
appeared in the Government paper, but,
as usual with such official reports, peo-
pie do not believe that it tells the whole
truth. Il states that in October last
the United Greek Bishop of Chelm
issued a circular to the clergy directing
them to carry out the reforms which
were begun in 1864, but had since then
fallen into allegiance. The organs and
bells used in the Roman Catholic
Church were by this ordered to be Civ
en- up, and the Russian language to be
employed at divine service instead Of
the Polish. All these chagnes were to
be completed by the beginning of the
present year. The peasants, however,
preferred to retain the ancient practice,
and when the priests attempted to read
the service in Russian they were turned
out of the churches and the doors lock-
ed In three villages the attitude of
the peasants was SO menacing that
troops had to be called in to restore
order The most serious Of the dis
turbances occurred at Pratulino, where
a staff officer, several regimental
officers, and number of soldiers were
wounded by the peasantry, while OF
the latter nine were killed and fourteen
wounded. Great indignation is excited
by the Poles at the conduct OF the
Government in this matter, and even
the Moscow Gazette strongly censures
the authorities for having interfered so
indiscreetly with the religious pre-
JUDGES of the peasantry.

A New Source Of ! aniIIa.

A Scotch pauper lunatic who believ-
ed himself to be millionaire used to
describe with much gusto the costly
viands daily prepared for him and
served on gold plate, adding that he
could not understand why they all tast-
ed of oatmeal. A similar objection
might be made to the confectionery of
the present day, owing to the extent to
which it is pervaded by flavor of
vanilla. The propensity to give the
public little too much of this good
thing will be increased by a discovery
which, according to the Scotsman, has
been made in DR.. Hoffmann's labora-
tory at Berlin, and is published by that
journal as especially Interesting to the
possessors of fir-trees, Of which there
are many in Scotland. There is, it
appears, in the juice Of fr-trees, be-
tween the wood and the bark, a crystal
line substance called coniferin, glu-
coside, as chemists call it, which when
acted upon by oxydizing agencies is
easily converted to vanillin, the chem
ical principal of vanilla. AS few
grains of this vanillin will flavor at
least a dozen ice-puddings, and the
juice Of an ordinary sized tir-tree con-
tains enough coniferin to make five
guineas' worth of vanillin, it is evident
that Scotland can supply all our pastry
cooks with this article without greatly
diminishing the forests of fl now about
to clothe her hills with the most deli
cate of vernal green.-P0U Mall Ga

equally beautiful to the clarified sight:
all objects are therefore deserving
representation. The only justifiable
business of the painter or the poet is to
transcribe, as accurately as possible,
some part of this altogether lovely
Nature.
The more intelligent realists perceive
on the other hand, that this is not q
sufficient account Of the subject, for it
disregards the sense of beauty. In
practice they permit compositions,
selections, the choice and rejection of
of themes, as If conceding SO much to
human weakness. Hardly knowing
why, they do better things than their
theory permits, as Wordsworth, en-
ployed poetic diction while denouncing
it. Like Wordsworth, they have
enough Of the artistic nature to save
them from their creeds. They do not
always hunger and thirst after the
trivial, nor dwell fondly upon mullen
stalks and oyster shells; they assemble
details that were never assembled in
Nature, though separately and minute
ly true. Here they draw the line:
they strive to glorify the details: these
must at least be true, at whatever cost.
They must be SO accurately studied
that they shall satisfy the geologist, the
chemist, the historian, the upholsterer
and other experts whom the painter
Will call in to certify to the merit of
his work. The realists are like writer's
Of themes who give more attention to
the spelling than to the meaning of
their sentences. It is very well, they
say, to have noble thought or magma
ton, but let us spell right first of all.

The Late James B0gardus.

James Bogardus, whose death was
announced by telegraph, was one of the
most celebrated Of American mocha
nicians. In his youth he was watch
makers apprentice, and in this position
developed great facility Of mechanical
execution and some boldness in original
designing. He invented q three-wheel
chronometer clock, to run eight days,
and variation of this with some pecu-
liar features. He also invented the
"ring flyer" for cotton-spinning, the
electric mill, and several new and valu-
able engraving machines. A dry gas
meter was among his most famous
works it brought him the gold medal
from the American Institute in 1886.
In 1889 he received reward from the
English Government for plan Of man
ufacturing postage stamps. His
triumph in this instance was signal, as
there was 600 competitors. Mr.. Bo-
gardus returned to New York in 1910.
His subsequent inventions were ma
chine for pressing glass; another for
shining india-rubber fabrics, and for
cutting india-rubber in fine threads an
improved drilling machine; and a
planetary horsepower and dynamome-
ter for measuring the speed and power
of machinery. In 1847 he constructed
in New York the first building entirely
of iron that was ever erected in this
country. Mr.. Bogardus' fame is of
necessity ephemeral. His works have
already been appropriated by the pub
lie, while his fame is familiar only to
specialists and persons of maturer
years.

EUUinOctiaI Storms.

There is a popular delusion that a
three days storm is inevitable when the
sun crosses the line in the latter part of
March and September, and the unset
tied state of the weather at this period,
which usually eliminates in showers of
some duration, is always spoken OF as
the ''cquinoctial storm" According
to Professor Loomis, of Yale College,
however, the equinox has very little to
do with the storms, and excepting that
the weather is generally unsettled by
the changes which are taking place in
the atmosphere, there is no more like
ihood of a storm upon the day that
the sun crosses the line than upon any
other day of the year. So much for
one of our popular theories, which, like
our popular superstitions, obtain a
stronger hold upon the public mind
than the strongest facts. In the light
of this truth it is not difficult to &C
count for the length of time-centur-
les, perhaps-which it takes to discover
a popular error or establish a scientific
truth nor can we measure our indebt-
edness to those men who devote their
lives to discovering facts in nature and
art, and establishing them upon a
scientifc-that is, real and know
able-basis. For it must be remem-
bered that these men are always in a
minority the mass of mankind are
content to take the world as they find
it, with all it's errors, superstitions and
prejudices, and feel no gratitude te
those who disturb their fond and fool
ish belief in them.

Khiva with very satisfactory results.
This was composed of third beef

who used it were the characteristics OF
the Russian soldiers throughout the

A British Infater.

At the Faneail hall anti-inaa-
ton meeting, Mr. Haskell, editor
Of the Boston Herald, said in the
course of his remarks When
Jack Cade, at the head Of mob, held
the streets of London in terror, and
proclaimed himself king, he decreed
that henceforth every quartin the king
dom should have three pints. His I'M
quiet reign did not, however, continue
long enough to secure to his loyal sub
jects the benefits Of his royal generos-
ity. But the Congress of the United
States, in this more enlightened age,
has improved upon Jack Cades polit-
ical economy. It has declared by law
that piece Of paper for which at vari-
Gus times the holder could obtain nine
ty cents, or seventy-fve cents, fifty
cents, or at one time, only thirty-eight
cents, shall be and is o dollar. Thus
while Jack Cade's decree provided that
a quart pot should contain three pints,
no more, no less,-the Congress Of
the United States provided by law that
q dollar should contain anywhere from
thirty eight to one hundred cents, and
if the work of initiation goes on in an
attempt to meet the demands of those
who clamor for more currency, we shall
yet see the value of dollar reduced to
the vanishing point"
