Odd Ants.

Upwards of a thousand different spe-
cles OF ants have been described by Ell
tomo.ogists, and yet it is by no means
supposed that the whole family have been
enumerated. New species are from time
to time turning up in different parts of
the world, and, as they are all wonder
fully intelligent, and addicted to the
strangest habits, we may exnect to be
entertained with new and curious stories
about the race as long as life shall last.
DR.. Gideon Lincecum, of Long Point,
Texas, has been cultivating the acquaint-
ance of species of sweet-scented ants
which live in his vicinity. Each individ-
ual ant seems 20 be a vial or vase Of pre-
cious perfumery, sweet as the altar OF
roses. Crush it between the fingers. and
it yields fragrance of exquisite quality.
These ants are extremely scarce. but no
doubt the day will come when they will
be cultivated, as tie Orientals cultivate
gardens OF roses. for the rare odors they
distil. Imagine boquet of these sweet
scented ants impaled on separate pins,
and emitting delicate and delicious ar
omas with every con;ortion. Scientists
are trying to prove that the
lower order of animals do not ache
from stabs and wounds. and then tell US
that insects will TRANQUILITY feed when
transfixed with bodkin therefore, we
might refresh the dainty sense of smell
with a nosegay of bleeding and quivering
ants without suffering any twinges of con.
science.
But this treatment Of the ants would
be no worse than that Nhich the various
species unscrupulously accord to each
other. We are indebted 70 DR.. Linceem
for the details of a wholesale slaughter OF
one tribe by another. which occurred I'm.
der his observation. A colony Of the
smallest species of black ants, which
dwelt in his yard, discovered one day Z
quantity of strip that had been spilled
on the ground. and Immediately swa.med
out and began carrying it to their maya
zine. The vessel in which they trans
ported it was the little sack in the abdo-
men. But they had not long been en-
gagged in the work before larger species
Of black ants learned what they were
about, and began to rifle them on their
way homeward. The big. black butchers
would seize the little fellows, toiling along
under their burdens, and, biting open
their abdomen, draw out the full sacks
and swallow them. Then casting aside

prosperity and the success of the Repub-
lican party. demand that all honorable
efforts should be made to withdraw such
men from association with those who led
them into the rebellion, brought such fear
full and indescribable ruin upon them, and
who still adhere to the s'lost cause
1t seems to me that Republicans every
where, IN office and out of Office, should
subordinate all personal desires, aspira-
lions and ambitions, sacrifice their inter-
ests, If need be, rally again for the party,
invite everybody, crowd its ranks and
bring to the front, to the important posi-
lions Of the government, all the ex-
perience, ability and character they
can command. A broad, wise and
magaanimous policy should be promptly
inaugurated, and steadily and honestly
pursued. When the country clearly
sees, as it will see, the only alternative
presented, the real issues involved, the
policies and men to be supported, their
records in the past and their present afil-
ations, who and what shall prevail if the
Republican party be set aside--when the
country sees where the loyal men of the
land are found, and where they stand who
believe in the perfect equality of the
races, and who, come victory or defeat,
life or death, mean to maintain in It's
completeness the equal rights of Ameri-
can citizens, of every race, nationality
and faith. then will the republican masses
rally again, achieve new victories, and
give the party new lease of power.

To Keep Eggs Over Winter.

The Farmers Adrocate, London, Ont,
recently offered prize for the best meth
cd ofkeeping eggs over winter. The fol-
lowing recipe took the prize: Whatever
excludes the air prevents tho decay of
eggs. What have found to be the most
successful method Of doing so is to place
small quantity of salt butter !. the
palm Of the left hand and turn the eggs
round in it so that every pore Of the shell
is closed then dry sufficient quantity
Of bran in an oven, (be sure you have the
bran well dried or it will rusty, then pack
the eggs with the small ends down, a
layer Of bran and another of eggs until
your box is full !; then put away in q
cool and dry place. If done when laid
they will retain the sweet milk and curd
Of a new laid egg for eight or ten months.
Any oil will do, but salt butter never be.
comes rancid, and very small quantity
Of butter will do for large number Of
eggs. To insure freshness / rub them
when gathered from the nest, then pack
when there is sufficient quantity.

Practical Suggestions.

Creaking, halfhung farm gates are
nulsances and annoyances. Any man
with ordinary intelligence can make .
good gate of rough boards, and hang it
SO that it will open and shut conveniently.
Bars are old-fashioned nu;sances, difficult
to construct, difficult to open and more
difficult to shut. A good farmer nova
days discards them, as he should.
In open weather take the opportunity
to put the fences in thorough repair;
straighten up posts, replace old plank
with new, and drive nail wherever
needed. Worm fences are effective bar
riers, but the corners arc hot beds for the
production of noxious weeds. If planks
r wire are not handy, it would be better
to stake the corners and lay the rails
straight, SO that the pillow may run close
up to the fence line.
Don t leave your wagons, moving ma
chimes, ETC., in the weather. 1t rots the
wood and rusts the metal. A shed built
with rough posts and covered with straw
will save many dollar as a covering for
such things. Paint the. woodwork Of
wagons, hay frames, ETC., ana see that all
the metallic parts of machinery are we'll
coated with oil.
1t not unfrequently happens that, with
an open season, sod blowing may be com.
menced late in the fall and be con-
tinucd by spells through the, entire win
ter in this latitude. Besides advancing
spring work and enabling the farmer to
thus accomplish more in the year, winter
blowing is in itself q benefit, when the
ground is in good condition.
/ Many persons, for reasons best known
to themselves, defer the hog killing sea-
son to January and February, and it is
for these laggards we have collected the
following information. Select cool,
clear day if possible freczing-upon
which to kill; the hogs should have had
nothing to eat for at least twenty-four
hours before being slaughtered; as soon
as they have stiffened hang up in a cool,
dry place for the night, and the next day
cut up and pack away.

1.-The Heart Of the Auaes.''

From the Springfield Mass Union.l
One of the spiciest bits Of gossip which
has recently gotten out of the bag relates
to the Artist Church's great picture,
The Heart Of the Andes A fine en-
craving of it from the original by VIM.
Forrest. and on exhibition by Gill & Hays,
brings the story to mind. Church. like
other artists, for obvious reasons. doesn t
want copies Of his best works to 60 out
to the world, and Forrest S engraving was
the only copy of the picture authorized
by its author. Church studio at New
York is open to the public only at certain
hours. and then to none but those who
have tickets. A person is in constant at
tendance to see that no harm is done to
the valuable collection, and he is also
supposed to prevent copies from being
made. 4 brother artist was frequent
visitor, and at last came to be so familiar
that he was one day left alone near 1.-The
Heart of the Andes Being probably a
little flushed with wine or something
more potent, his evil genius prompted
him TO sketch the great picture. He made
two copies, and got out unobserred.
The copies he co!ored, and by some means
one came to this city and one went to
Hartford. Church discovered the rape.
got on trail of one Of the copies and fol-
lowed it to shop in the city, where it
was left to be framed. He was incog
and asked to see s'that picture Of
The Heart of the Andes OF course,
it was produced. A sudden sweep of the
artists hand and the stolen copy was
damaged beyond repair. But there was
still the other copy, and it was thorn in
the flesh to Church that he could not dis
cover its whefeabouts- Some time after
ward . gentleman Of this city, who vas
at his studio remarked to Church that he

where. Of course Church denied the
possibility of such thing. ''But l own
it myself" replied the gentleman. who
had somehow. gotten the Hartford copy.
Then Church knew where the only exist
ing colored copy Of his great picture could
be found, but it was in vain that he tried
to purchase it. Its owner would take no
price, and Church is still unhappy. So
runs the story, and it is good enough to
be believed.

WHO GOT THE LUCRE:

AFTER THE PAY ROLL MEN WITH SHARP
sT1CK-WORK or TIE INVESTIGATING
COMMITTEE LAST NIGHT.
Last evening three of the five gentlemen.
appointed by Council to examine false en-
tries on the Pay Rool Book of the Cool Sprinr
Reservoir, met in the sn.e-room, ad oininy
Council Chamber.
Mr.. Painter being chairman of the COM
mittee, coducted the examinations.
John Hoffocker, on the ''gang bosses"
employed at the basin, was called upon, and
stated that time had been marked
on the Pay Roll Book to one
Patrick Nash, who never received anv
pay. The estry was dated May 9th. He
further stated that he had seen money left
over after the paying of the hands by Pur-
ton, but could not tell what became of it :
did not know who made the false entries in
the gang books always left them in the
offlce at night in charge of DANNY the clerk.
James Logan was called ami ties, flied that
on geng book, No. 3, time had been marked
to Mr.. Anfe son, and James Ross, men
whom he said he had never recn on the
grounds, much less at work. Mr.. L. stated
that the marks in the book had been, he
thought, forged.
William Fitzgerald is marked with time
in book No. !, and is represented as having
earned 1925, which sum he never received.
Mr.. Dandy, former clerk Mt the reservoir,
said that he had once paid the hands their
wages, and the money left over after the
paying, was taken in charge by Mr.. Burton:
ne had nothing to do with gang books; did
not deny making the entries in the Pay Roll
book, but knew nothing of the other entries
in the gang books. From the statements of
previous witnesses, it was shown that the
time marked on the Pay Roll, was entered
before it was in the gang books. Dandy,
however, declared that he could bring men
who would swear that Ross and Anderson
did work on the new Basin.
Other gentlemen were called up and ques-
toned, yet where went, and who got the
missing money, is still mystery.
The committee consisted of Messrs. PAW
ter, Adams, Ford, Farrell and Febiger
the three present, after an hour and a h.lfs
examination, without accomplishing any
thing, adjourned.
