Habits Of Ants.

From the proceedings of the Phila-
delphia Academy of Natural Sciences
the following is taken:
Mr.. McCook, speaking of the habits
of Formica rufa, stated that the ants
descending the tree-paths, with abdo-
mems swollen with honey-dew (called
by him Repttes), were arrested at
the foot of the tree by workers from the
hill seeking food. Galleries communi-
eating with the hill opened at these
points, around and in which numbers
of these ants were huddled, engaged in
drawing or bestowing rations of honey
dew. Similar commissary stations
were found under the stones near by.
The replete reared upon her hind legs
and placed her mouth in the mouth Of
the pensioner, who assumed the same
rampant posture. Frequently two, some
times three, pensioners were thus fed
at once by one 1eplete. Apparently the
workers engaged in building at the
hill and galleries had thus resorted to
these feeding places to obtain ordinary
food in the same manner that queens,
males and young ants receive it, viz:
by disagreement from the abdomens of
the repletes. The latter commonly
yielded the honey-dew complacently,
but sometimes were seized and arrested
by the pensioners, occasionally with
great vigor.
A number of experiments we're de-
scribed, leading to the conclusion that
there was complete amity between the
ants Of large portion of the field, en-
bracing some 1,60O hills and countless
millions of creatures. Insects from
hills widely separated always frater-
nized completely when transferred. A
number of ants collected from various
hills fraternized in an artificial nest,
tremendously building galleries and
caring for the cocoons.
1t was found that ants immersed in
water when replaced upon the hills
we're invariably attacked as enemies;
the assailants, being immersed, were
themselves in turn assaulted. A num-
Der of experiments were made, which
indicated that the bath had temporarily
destroyed the peculiar odor or other
property by which the insects recog-
nized their fellows.

A New Game.

A man came into restaurant last
night, and mounting high stool leaned
over the counter and ordered q porter
house steak with eggs on the side, and
some ale and oysters to begin on. In
about half an hour he had finished his
repast and was beginning to deliberate
on what kind of dessert he would wind
up on, when q man walked in, and,
tapping him ON the shoulder, remark
ed:
sis your name Billy Hicks?"
"Yes, that's my name," said the man
on the stool, as the hand stole down to
his hip pocket, fumbling for the handle
of barker; "what do you want?"
1--WE had little trouble once before
in White Pine, and now l guess I've got
you dead to rights" continued the new
conner, pulling out a large sized six
shooter.

ear to listen to the shots and the rush
of the mob; but he didn't hear any
thing unusual, and in about five minutes
he recollected that there was $3.50 ow-
ing on the meal. Then he went out on
the sidewalk to investigate.
"Was there q row out there q few

gazer on the sidewalk.
"Didn't see any. I've been here for

Fight Between q Lion and q Leopard.

The Geological Gardens at Pesth have
Just been the scene of . combat worthy
of Nero or Heliogabalus. The cage
tenanted by q lion and ioness happen
ed to be next to that in which dwelt
female leopard, for whom the captive
queen of the desert entertained q special
hatred. Probably she was jealous of
the bright eyes and beautiful skin of
her neighbor, and may possibly have
suspected her lerd and master of cast
ing tender regard or two across the
barrier which separated the two dens.
The suspicion, brooded over in
silence, became devouring passion,
and it .ripened into certainty at the pre-
else moment when vengeance happened
to become possible. The keeper of the
gardens had inadvertently one day left
hanging within the lions cage the chain
which served to draw up the partition.
and the lion was not long in selling it
and beginning to pull. Whether he was
animated with spirit of fickleness or
by curiosity alone must remain forever
q scret. But the result was that the
partition flew up and the road remained
open from one cage to the other.
Through it instantly rushed the lioness,
breathing hatred and malice, but the
lion had no sooner dropped the chain
and prepared to follow in chase than
the portcullis fell and the passage was
barred again.
In the meantime, however, o strug-
gle commenced between the two lady
warriors such as has not been seen in
Europe since the palmy days of the
amphitheater. The leopard, worsted
on the first onset, attempted to take re-
fuge from the foe by jumping and
hanging to the top rails Of the cage. 1t
was all in vain, however. She was
brought to bay again, and compelled to
fight face to face with the terrible inva-
der. For twenty long minutes the bat
tie ragged in royal style. The neck and
shoulders of the ioness we're deeply
furrowed with red gashes. But her VIC
tim was overmatched, and at length
thrown on her back, when the coup de
grace was given by the savage fangs OF
the victor.
The lion, who had been looking on
probably with mingled feelings-at the
scene, will now, no doubt, be restored
to the affectionate confidence of his
spouse. Nothing remained, at the end
Of the encounter, of the pretty spotted
skin which had SO captivated him but
few torn and mangled shreds, and the
romance of the cages, if romance there
was, came to tragic end.-London

HONE INTERESTS.

CLEANING OIL-cLOrHs.-Wipe oil
cloths with damp flannel, afterward
wet with milk, and then rub until
bright with dry cloth.
PAPER MACHE.-To clean papier
mache, wash it with sweet milk, sprin-
kle flour over it, and, afterward, polish
it well with chamois leather.
FREsHENING Ordina-
~ iron-mesh grenadines may be fresh
ened by sponging the breadths ON the
right side with spirits of ammonia dilut-
ed with water. Iron ON the wrong
side.
GRATING NUTMEGs.-H q nutmeg is
grated at the stalk end it will prove hol-
low throughout, whereas the same nut
meg grated from the other end, would
have proved sound throughout.
PRRsERvING PoTAToEs.-To pre-
serve potatoes till spring put quantity
of powdered charcoal into the bottom
of the potato bin; it will preserve their
flavor, and prevent the sprouts from
shooting out as early as they otherwise
would.
GROWING GRAPES.-In the Rhine
district, grape-vines are kept low and
as near the soil as possible, so that the
heat of the sun may be reflected back
upon them from the ground; and the
ripening is thus carried on through the
night by the heat radiated from the
| earth.
COLORs FOR COMMISSIONING to
Centennial influences, light carpets are
no longer first choice, while every thing
bordering on dark crimson, quaint
greens shading upon olive browns, with
q little orange, q fair proportion of
scarlet, great deal of dark blue of
marine shades, and black, are the pop
ular colors for carpets.
RESTORING LANNELs.-Flannels and
wooden, or broadcloth table-covers,
which have lost their color by frequent
and careless washing may be restored
by exposing them to the fumes of burn
ing sulphur. An easy way to accom-
plish this, is to place the burning
sulphur under an inverted basket, lay
ing the flannels or cloths upon the top.
STEAMED PUDDNG.-An excellent
and convenient dish for dinner, in the
place of the monotonous pie, is a
steamed pudding, made by using one
half buttermilk and one-hah sour milk,
2 spoonfuls of cream, 2 eggs, tea
spoonful of salt, and of soda. All
buttermilk makes it sticky. Raisins or
other fruit may be added, or not, as
desired. Put in convenient dish and
steam II hours. To be eaten with but
ter and molasses, or melted sugar
favored with lemon. 1t is desirable
that the kettle should not stop boiling
or the cover be taken off during the
steaming process. Atea kettle of boil
ing water should be at hand to keep the
necessary amount of water in the kettle.

OPIUM eaters had better take warn
ing from Mrs. Sarah H. Davis, of Bos-
ton, lately arrested for stealing $3.50
worth Of silverware. The defense was
that she had been for years addicted to
the excessive use of opium; that this
produces epilepsy, which often results
in loss of moral sense, a destruction
of the ability to discern between right
and wrong, and decrease of will pow
er; that it promotes tendency to de-
ceive and falsify, and that all these re-
suits were apparent in the defendant.
Medical evidence was given sustaining
the defence, and Mrs. Davis was sent to
an insane asylum.

A CINCINNATI editor, himself the

it is the most wonderful thing in the
United States, not excepting the Con-
stitution and the Fifteenth Amendment.
By the time the family register is cum
bered with the patronymic of the sixth

Meanwhile the rest of the band were
sneaking up from the other direction,
calculating on shooting King in the
back as he watched the single Indian.
He suspected the trick, saw them COM
ing, and drawing a fair bead on the
talker," he dropped the fellow dead
as a crow-bar. Those skulking up
numbered four, being all the Indians
left alive and unwounded out of the
nine first sighted. They did not rush
as the boy expected. On the contrary,
they hurriedly retreated, and but little
time was lost by them in getting out of
the neighborhood. The boy waited
till 8 O'Clock in the afternoon before
leaving his retreat, and then, his cloth
ing stiff with blood, he pursued his
journey, reaching his brothers. camp
about dark in safety. The men would
not credit his story, though his three
wounds were plain proof ofa bloody con-
test. The next day band of q dozen
went over to the scene of the fight, and
when they had taken q survey they
could no longer doubt the boys story.
They found trails of blood everywhere
around his position, and trails in the
snow where the dead Indians had been
dragged along, and the defense was
voted one of the bravest ever made
against the savages. A BOY without
sign of beard, and looked upon as
hardly fit to carry pistol around, had
or destroyed five out of nine |
redskins who had anticipated securing
his scalp without firing more than one
shot. It wasn't enough for the miners
