To keep ants out of sugar. Wash
the shelves on which you keep your
sugar clean, and while they are
damp rub fine salt on them quite
thickly. Let it remain on them for
a time, and the ants will disappear.

"The melancholy days have come,
The saddest of the Vear.n

Sad indeed are they to many; but
we must all take them in their turn.
The dark days of autumn are just
as necessary in the rounds of the
year as the bright days of spring.
Variety is stamped everywhere in
Gods handiwork. If all the flowers
were roses and all the trees were
oaks; if the roses were all of the
same color and the oaks of the same
size, if the earth's surface were a
plain without mount, and soil
without a sea, it would be a dry
world, and we would long to be
tfansplanted to one of variety.
"Spring would be but gloomy weather
If we had nothing else but spring"

The First Russian Railroad.

When the Nicolai Railway was con-
structed in 1918, from St. Petersburg
to Moscow, the work was done under
contracts with American engineers, and
the cars and engines were supplied from
Baltimore by the famous establishment
of the Winans Brothers. The Russian
priests oppose every modern %innova-
ton, and of course they were "down"
on the railway. When the road was
opened they determined to stop it, and
so they went in force to Il point on the
road and set up a holy picture to stop
the new work of the devil. The train
came slowly along and the engineer
seeing the picture standing On the track
thought there must be a man behind It,
and so came to a halt. The assembled
multitude raised a shout and the priests
called out that the saint was all-power-
full and would prevail against wicked
ness. The officer in charge of the train
came out and took a survey of the stu.
ton. Then he told the engineer to run
back a quarter of n mile and bring the
train to a halt. The shouting was re-
doubled and the priests were in the
most %rapturous delight. But their ex-
ultation was oon changed to grief as
the master of ceremonies told the en-
gineer, "Put on all steam and go
ahead without regard to consequences"
The engine went ahead and down fell
the holy picture, torn and crushed by
the wheels of an American locomotive.
Modern civilization was triumphant,
and the priests and their followers no
longer shouted in triumph. The loco
motive and the telegraph are the practi-
cal civilizers of the age.-Cor. Chicago
Tribune.

The Mustang as a Bucker.

The army mule is Il perfect Chester
field of an animal in comparison with
the native California mustang. 1t was
the mustang that invented the noble
art of bucking. We are aware that the
army mule has experimental in that di.
rection, but no other animal but the
California mustang ever caused his
rider to describe n p%arabolic curve OF
the same extent, nor can the man who
has not been bucked by a California
mustang at all conceive the process.
The victim while undergoing it would
infinitely prefer being delivered to an
lI~yrcanian tiger Or a Lernean hydra or
II Numidian lion for immediate masti-
cation, and when the operation is COM
pleted, and by II merciful dispensation
of fate he is landed upon the crown of
his head in the nearest pile OF road met
al, with a dislocated spinal column and
a pang in every nerve, muscle, sinew,
and bone, he regards the author of his
woes with a horror and a detestation
far surprising the emotion that would
be evoked bycontemplation of the most
forbidding antediluvian Saurian Pro-
lessor Owen ever revived for the salts

He Didn't Want the 'ScriptiOn.

He was an old man, and he had a bit
of conductors pasteboard stuck in his
hat. He walked into the drugstore
and inquired: "EIave you got any
good w~hiskyP"
"Yes, SIR" replied the gentlemanly
druggist.
"Gimmo half a pintp"
"Have you got a doctors prescrip-
tion?n
"No.n
"Can't sell it, then, sir. Juryin ses-
sion; must be strict"
"Where can I get a doctorP" sadly
inquired the aged inebriate.
"I'm a physician, sir" winningly re-
spondcd the druggist.
"Cant you give me that-what you
call Inscriptions"
"Well, I might" And the Doctor
wrote out a prescription blank, calling
for so many of spiritus frament.
He filled a snug looking bottle with the
article, pasted a label on it, numbered
to correspond with the paper, and pre-
senting the bottle to the venerable
reysterer, remarked, in the most bust
ness-like way imaginable: "a dollar
and a half, sir"
"a dollar and a half" gasped his
astonished customer. "Ain't that
pretty high, misterP"
"It's u price-a dollar for the pre-
scription and 80 cents for the medi-
cine"
"Yes, WE'LL" slowly replied the wick
cd old duffer, as he slowly buttoned up
the half pint in his overcoat pocket, ~
guess, boss, that | don't wantthe scrip
ton. Here's your half a dollar" and
he stuck his tongue in n side of his
mouth, winked ironically at him of the
mortar and pestle, and walked out

A Merciful Mountain Lion.

Last Wednesday, says the Denver
NeWs, several families of emigrants,
travelling to Oregon by wagon, camped
for the night near Point of Rocks, a
station on the Union Pacific, Mountain
Division. In the dusk of the evening,
the children were at play a short dis
lance from the wagons, when q pierre
ing scream, proceeding from the bevy
of Juveniles, alarmed the camp, and
called the men to the rescue. They
were met by the affrighted youngsters,
who said that one of their number, Il
t~wo-year-old girl, had been carried off
by an animal. From the description
given by the children and the size and
shape of the tracks, the beast was sup
and exciting search for the child was
kept up until midnight, but u%nsuccess-
fully. Meantime the mother of the
child was raving in a most frenzied
manner, rejecting all hope of the re.
covery of her offspring, and refusing to
be comforted. At dawn, Thursday
morning, the search was resumed. The
tracks of the beast were traced II dis.
lance of five miles from camp, when,
owing to rocks, they became too indis.
tinct to be followed further. The search
was continued, however, and, at ]
O'Clock in the afternoon, II of the
searching panty found tho child on tor
of a huge %upheaval of rocks, rising two
hundred feet above the level of the sur
rounding sand plain. The child, near
ly denuded of clothing, and with several
ugly-looking scratches about the face
and breast, was lying on its back, per
fectly quiet and its eyes doing under
the sunlight. With the exception OF
the scratches, or claw-marks, the little
thing was uninjured. When the infant
was borne back to camp, at sight of il
the distracted mother %swooned, and on
being restored to consciousness clasped
her child in frenzied fondness, and in
sisted, for some time, that it was dead
Notwithstanding that the rescued cherHl
was kicking, squalling, and squirming
in the customary way. The blending
of grief and gladness in the camp wa.
highly pathetic if not q little pictur
esque. That the lion could hav,
logged that baby five miles without Sc
verely injuring it, and left it high ant
dry on the lonesome ledge, seems al
most incredible, but the above facts arr
reliably vouched for. The mountain
lion is known to be very powerful, ant
this n appears to have tempered it!

When Pennsylvania was called on the
second ballot, the chairman Of the delegation
announced the solid delegation for Hartranft
-5S votes. One Of the delegates disputed
this, and said his vote and that OF another
delegate were for Blaine. The Chairman, in
announcing the vote allowed the W. votes
for Blaine, on the ground that every delegate
had a right to vote as he chose, notwith-
standing their instructions were to vote as a
unit. An appeal from this ruling was taken,
and upon the question being put the Chair
was sustained.
