Writing Of the Bohemians Of Paris,
q correspondent says: "Not long ago,
a journalist OF some note and decided
cleyerness, announced to his friends
that he had accumulated $500 francs.
He said he had been trying for seven or
eight years TO get exactly that sum, and
that, having actually gotten 1t, he OK.
perienced sense OF happiness he had
never before known. Wishing to cele-
brate the event, he invited half a dozen
OF his companions to dinner at n neigh
boring restaurant. During It's progress
they drank wine enough to set them on
what 10 called here, uno bamboche.
The consequence was, tnat in lest than
twenty.four hours, the journalist had
spent every sou in his possession. In
America this would not be q very ex-
trayagant debauch, anymore than the
accumulation Of $500 by professional
scribe, would appear remarkable. In
France, however, finances are rated
differently. A man who gets rid of O.
800 francs, by the indulgence Of q lark,
Is regarded as reckless prodigal. Our
people waste more than that and style
Il a'bagatelle; but .he Partisan moves
to soterer measures. The inky spend
thrift, rs II proved, had designed to ap-
propriate the amount he had saved, Ia

tainebleau. When he was entirely him
self, he was so overwhelmed with re-
morse, and 30 distrustful Of his ability
ever to acquire so much again, that he
resolved upon the national remedy for
grievous Ills. he disposed OF tue
worldly goods he had, and with the
proceeds, gave o petit supper TO the
same lamiliars who had dined with him
the day before. The entertainment was
not marked by any excess. The scribe
never appeared more cheerful or more
brilliant. About midnight he parted
with his friends in the best Of spirits,
and the next day at noon, he was found
dead In his nearly naked apartment, q

vealing the agency Of his suicide"

HOW MIke perrIn Saved the ChIld.

tion, but a hero Of real flesh and blood
is Mike Detvin, fireman Of Ingino No.
"a, on the New Jersey Midland Rail
way. Just this side OF Paterson, be-
tween Dundee Lake and Rochelle Park,
there Is long, straight stretch Of road
traversing clearing in which, since
the railroad came, have sprung up nu.
merous cabins and cottages. As Mixes
engine, drawing the noon way train, was
passing this point, Engineer Healy
sighted m object. which he at first took
to be dog, squatted on the track some
distance ahead. No passenger train
ever stopped for a dog, and Healy kept
on; but presently he looked again, and
there-it wasn't dog-it was q little
child about three years old, playing, all
unconscious OF danger, directly in the
locomotives path. "Down brakes"
sounded Healy in On instant. "Down
brakes" again sounded the warming
whistle, and the passengers behind all
wondered what was in the way. Still
on, though with a slaokened speed,
went the kissing monster, bearing down
remorselessly upon It's helpless prey.
The child, meanwhile, seeing IT com.
ing, had risen and was innocently tod
ding toward II, eager, apparently, 10
throw itself into the very jaws Of death.
Then II was that gallant Mike Deryin
came TO the rescue. Quick as thought
he shot through the window, out along
the side Of the locomotive, down upon
the cowcatcher, and there holding on
firmly with his left hand; stretched out
his right ready to grasp the little ono
from its impending fate. That was n
terrible moment Of suspense, but the
denoHement came quickly, Seizing the
child with o yice.like grip, he lifted il
from the track and pulled II up on the
pilot. Saved ? Yes. MOTOR the
clothing by which he hsd seized it gave
way; the little one, in less time than II
takes TO tell II, fell from his hand,
struck the cowcatcher, was thrown OF
to one side, and rolling down the en-.
bankment, struck with but little force,
and was picked up moment after with
nothing more serious than q bruised
face to tell Of tho danger Il had passed.
Mike, as modest as he had been brave,
meanwhile quitely got back into his
place on the engine, and his train went
on. But such chivalry should not &c
unacknowledged, and we therefore
give Mike Deryin's name TO the world
as that Of o hero truly deserving ol

An Ant Cloud In England,

Ashower Of ants Is reported to have
occurred at Cambridge, England. A
correspondent Of tho Cambridge
Chronicle thus writes Of the incident
"a cloud OF ants settled over the
town, (and, as have been told, rather
widely in the neighborhood, } about six
o'clock in the evening, shortly after q
considerable rise in the temperature
had taken place. These ants covered
the pavement everywhere, and in some
OF the gardens and college courts they
were thickly strewn, lighting on per-
sons, and in somo cases stinging, or
rather biting them, 80 as 10 cause con-
siderable annoyance. The great ma
jority Of tlere countless millions were
tho small winged malc ant. (fOrmica
fusca, I Think But there were two
other kinds, one q large one, nearly
half an inch in length, without wings,
another rather smaller, yet much larger
than the leaSt, also winged. l am not
able TO say II the intermediate ones Gre
the females but I believe tho largest,
at oil events, arc the neuter, or work
ing ants, which had shed their wings.
These workers are said TO be the
soldiers and the feeders OF the COM
munity, and to be Of two sizes. The
larger ants part with their wings so
easily that could not certainly dis
tingnish the small workers from the
females. The largest ones ran about
with great activity, and looked so vici-
ous that was not much inclined to
meddle with them however, ! secured
specimens OF each kind to examine them
more leisurely. Next morning the
males were mostly dead, but the sur.
yiyors might be seen huddled, as 1t
were, in thick masses in holes under
the walls or between the paving flags.
In Kirby and Spence's Entomology
| Up. 317, cd. y there is an interesting
account OF these ant-clouds. He gives
instances OF similar phenomenain 1914,
over tho sea, of the More; and in 1878
tho same thing was seen on one Of the
Pyrenees, and also (if the date is cor
rect) in 1913, at Foulness, on the Essex
shore. myself sawat Cambridge, some
fix weeks ago, a vast cloud OF insects
flying high, and moving to and fro like
cloud Of smoke, between Silver street
bridge and Newman, and / suppose
these were ants; but l never in my life
saw anything like the ant shower. ]
have made many inquiries, and found
the accounts equally wonderful in most
parts Of the town; but the fall was es.
pecially dense along Hillsroad. As oil
these creatures must have taken wing
out OF ground nests 1t Is a curious sub.
ject OF investigation where there could
be such simultaneous action among
them, and whether the ant.cloud came
from any distance.

Beating the Wind.

The Boston Journal has tho follow.
ing concerning Goldsmith Maids great
achievement in her trot for $4,000 to
beat her record Of 2l4i, OF Mystic
Park:
The truck, being ono OF tho best in
the country, II not tho best, was in good
condition, and bets were high that the
Maid would win the purse. Buld
Doble drove her, and her owner, Mr..
Smith, eagerly watched the trots from
the stand. The track was scraped
anew at the conclusion OF tho second
heat OF the first race, and as tho Maid
made her appearance the applause OF
the spectators was most enthusiastic.
George Ayre's marc Jennie, drove by
Golden, also appeared, to run with tho
Maid.
In the first heat, OF they. went, the
Maid not breaking once, and apparent.
ly making no effort whatever. She
past the half in l 10 and made the mile
with great ease in 2:1ol. II was found
that the drivers carried eight pounds
overweight, which was reduced by
lowering the weight Of the cushions.
This however, did not in the least dis.
courage those who had profound faith
in her powers and that she would be
allowed TO show them, and about five
O'Clock preparations were made for the
second heat, the track being again
scraped.
Tie interest manifested was intense.
Every one who could do so mounted IN
elevated position and eagerly watched
for the start, which was made shortly,
the Maid passing tho wire at wonder
full speed, and speeding on TO the quar-
ter, which sho passed In 33i seconds.
There was some suspicion OF q break
Just before the half, It might have been
a skip, but many thought not, and 1t
was SO slight no one could be certain
that It was one. She passed the half
in 1:06t, and fed on with unprecedent.
cd speed, closely followed by tho run.
ner. The third was turned and the
trial moment arrived. The edriver want
ed to score the best time ever made,
and the Maid was in sympathy with
him, and he had but TO urge her TO do
her best, and the noble trotter bravely
made the endeayor, coming down the
homestretch magnifcently and shoot
ing the wire in Just ala. Tho deaien-
ing cheers that filled the air was the
response, and proudly did Budd Doble
alight from tho sulky, when the Queen
was led 10 her stable.
