FIRE ANTs.-The worst insect pest of
tropical America is the terrible fre-ant
whose sting is likenod to the puncture of a
red-hot needle. 1t is found only on sandy
soils in open places, and seems 10 thrive
most near houses and in weedy villages.
Towns are sometimes deserted on account
of this little tormentor. 1t is a small spe-
cies, of shining red color, not greatly
differing from the common red singing
ant OF our own country, except that the
pain and irritation caused by its sting are
much greater. Where it abounds, the
whole soil is undermined by it; the
ground is perforated with the entrances 10
their sublerranean galleries, and little
sandy dome occurs here and there where
the insects bring their young to receive
warmth near the surface. Homes are
Overrun with them they dispute every
fragment of food with the inhabitants, and
destroy clothing for the sake of the starch.
All eatables have to be suspended in bas-
kets from the raiters, and the cords well
soaked with copaiba- balsam, which is the
only means known TO prevent them from
climbing. They seem TO attack persons
out OF. sheer malice. The legs of tables,
chairs, and stools, and the cords of ham
mocks, have to be smeared in the same
way.-POpWldr Science Monthly for July.

The Iron Max.

The following anocdote was related TO
Charles Sumner by Gen. Cass, and is Civ
on in A. b. Johnson's "Recollectlons of
Charles Sumner" in Scribner for July:
When Gen. Cass, was minister to France,
he became somewhat intimate with tho
then King OF the French, Louis Philippe.
One evening when they were alone, the
General asked permission to ask a ques-
ton.
"Ask what you please" the King re-
piled.
"Then," queried the Minst er, ''can your
Majesty tell me anything of the Man in the
Iron MaskH"
"Ah, replied Louis, somewhat amazed,
Eyes, and will tell you all know about
it, When returned from America, i'm
mediately upon seeing my cousin, Count
d'Artois, I, evincng this same curiosity,
asked him whether he could tell me any
thing about the mystery. only this re-
piled the Count: 'Once, in rambling
through the Tuieries, found myself in
the apartments of the Queen, Marie Antoi-
nette. Parting the curtains which conceal
ed me from her eyes, saw her on her
knees before the King. "In mercy's
name," she said, "Sire, tell mel who
,DdS the Man in the Iron Mask? 81 cannot
tell you" answered Louis XVI, sternly.
81 learned it from my predecessor, and
can tell it only TO my successor. But this
will tell you: if you knew who he was,
you would be greatly disappointed at the
curiosity which he has excited"

WHAT Is AN ATHEIsT?-An atheist in
the proper sense of the word is not man
who disbelieves in the goodness of God, or
in his distinctness from Nature, or in his
personality. These disbeiefs may be as
serious in their way as atheism, but they
are different. Atheism is a disbelief in
the existence of God-that is, disbelief in
any regularity in The universe to which a
man must conform himself under penal
ties. Such disbelief as have said, is
speculatively monstrous, but it may exist
practically, and where it does is an evil as
fatal 10 character and virtue as the most
timid religionist supposes.-

PAINLEssNEss OF DEATH FROM LIGHT
NINa.-Here let me observe that deo III
from lightning must be painless. The
nerves of the human body do not convey a
sensation of pain instantly to the nerve
centres. There is an appreciable interval
before we are cognizant of what has hap
pened. The time of an electric flash is
small fraction of this interval. While the
velocity ola nervous sensation of pain is
less than hundred feet second, that OF
electricity, varying under different circum-
stances, is many thousand times greater.
We are killed before we know it. Yet
there is probably greater dread of death
from this cause than from any other.--Prot.
John TroWbridge in July Atlantic.

BRINE THAT WILL PRESERVE BUTTER
YEAR.-Among the many devices for keep
Ing butter in manner that preserves the
fresh, rosy flavor of new, with all its sweet
ness, is the following from the Dutchess
Farmer which is said TO be entirely sue
cessful; To three gallons of brine, strong
enough TO bear an egg, add quarter OF
pound of nice white sugar and one table
spoonful of saltpetre. Boil the brine, and
when 1t is cold strain carefully. Make
your butter into rolls, and wrap each sep
arately In clean white muslin cloth, tying
up with string. Pack large jar full,
weigh the butter down, and pour in the
brine until all is submerged. This will
keep really good butter perfectly sweet and
fresh for whole year. Be careful to not
pst upon ice butter that you wish to keep
for any length OF time. In summer when
the heat will not admit of butter being
made In rolls, pack closely in small jars,
and using the same brine, allow 1t 10 cover
The butter to the depth OF al least four inch
es. This excludes the air, aud answers
very nearly ~ well as The first method
suggested.

called on him he said, Now that you have

which have used with effect among my
friends for twenty years. l expected, Of

and you will neither want liquor nor med

that liquor has become repulsive. The
taste of tho orange is in The saliva of my

FLAVOR OF EGGs.-There is vast diff
ference in the flavor of eggs. Hens fed on
clear sound grain, aud kept on clean grass
run, give much finer favored eggs than
hens that have access to stable and ma
nure heaps and eat all kinds of filthy food.
Hens feeding on fish and onions flavor
their eggs accordingly, the same as cows
eating onions or cabbage, or drinking
offensive water, imparts bad taste to the
milk and butter. Tho richer the food the
higher the color of the eggs. Wheat and
corn give eggs the best color, while feed
ing on buckwheat makes them colorless,
rendering them unfit for some confeclion-
cry puTposes.-MoOres Rural NeD Yorker.

WHAT MEN NEED WIVES FoR.-It is
not to sweep the house, make the bed, darn
the socks and cook the meals, chiefly that
q man wants wife. If this is all he needs,
hired help can do it cheaper than a wife.
If this is all, when a young man calls 10
see lady, send him into the pantry 10 taste
the bread and cake she has made, send him
to inspect the needle work and bed-mak-
ing, or put broom in her hand and send
him to witness its use. Such things are
important, and the wise young men will
quickly look after them; but what the true
man wants with wife is her companion
ship, sympathy and love. The way of life
has many dreary places in it, and man
needs a companion 10 go with him. A man
is sometimes overtaken by misfortune;
he meets with failure and defeat; trials
and temptations beset him, and he needs
one to stand by and sympathize. He has
some hard battles to fight with poverty,
enemies, and with sin; and he needs a
woman that, when he puts his arm around
her, he feels that he has something TO fight
for, she will help him to fight; she will
put her lips to his ear and whisper words
Of counsel and her hand to his heart and
impart inspiration. All through life,
through storms and through sunshine,
conflict and victory; through adverse and
through favoring winds, man needs a wo-
mans love. The heart yearns for it. A
sisters and a mothers love will hardly
supply the need. Yet many seek for moth
ing further than success in homework.
Justly enough, half of these get nothing
more; the other half, surprised beyond
measure, have gotten more than they
sought. Their wives surprise them by
bringing out noble idea in marriage, and
disclosing a treasury of courage, sympathy
and love
