Ants as a Barometer.

Milo. Wurzbach is no longer a
dlsbelever in the intuitive percep-
ton of insects. A few days ago a
lot of small red ants made their APP
pearance in one OF the rooms OF his
residence in great numbers, many OF
them burdened with egg which they
had originally deposited in their
subterrancan home in the yard.
They were carefully watched, and
their object in moving was studied.
They were observed to 90 under
meath large trunk which sat in the
room, and it was presently raised to
see what the insects were doing
under it. IL was found that they
were leaving their eggs there. They
were not disturbed, and Mr.. Wurz.
bach continued to study their move.
ments. lie anticipated that tie in
tuition of the insects had led them
to move their eggs to q place OF
safety, fearing rain, and this proved
true. 1t was not long before heavy
shower fell, and the ant.bed in the
yard was flooded, but the instinct OF
the little bugs had saved them from
any loss-they had moved indoors
to keep dry. After the rain was
over, and when the skies were clear,
they returned to their outside home.
Mr.. Wurzbach has thrown away his
barometer, and will hereafter be
guided by these little ants in making
his rain bets.-Sdn Antonio Express.

The Men Who Make Our Laws.

The Hon. Moses w. Field, of De.
troit, Michigan, in recent speech,
said:
"The forty fifth congress, to which
l belonged, was composed of three
hundred and seventy niIe members.
In this number three were lumber
men, thirteen manufacturers, seven
doctors, fourteen merchants, thir.
teen farmers, three millers, one land
surveyor, one priest, one school pro-
fessor, one doctor OF laws, one bar
BIER, one mechanic, ninety nine law.
yers, and one hundred and eighty.
nine bankers, which includes stock
holders in national hanks. May the
lord help the country! The laws
providing for the contraction of the
peoples money were passed by the
votes of these men, and you can
find it continued from 1865 down to
1876. They had majority then,
and they have got il here to day,
and they viii, continue to have it
until the people rise up and declare
their independence, and their ability
to Judge for themselves how they
shall vote"

A Kentucky tudgs's Fatal Passion

A dispatch from Vanceburg, Ky,
to the Cincinnati Gazette, tells the
following sad story: Our Criminal
Court was opened by Judge Sands
in creditable style, as reported
through your paper, but no business
wastIansacted, because Judge Sands
failed to sustain his judicial and
personal dignity. There was much
bad feeling manifested at one time
toward this young and gifted Judge,
until he came into court and said
"Gentlcmen and Fellow. Citizcns-I

before. Prejudice was turned to

hope he will return TO us reformed.

THE GUARDIAN.
IN AUTUMN JAYS.

We hear the crickcts' ceaseless song
These dreamy days,
While hills afar are dim and blue
In robes Of haze,
Aud Summer waves last aliru
With saddened face,
While Autumn slowly comes along
In stately grace.
The butterflies with yellow wings
Fit DER the flowers,
We fancy they but typify
The golden hours;
The ficecy clouds that sail the SKY
In silence pass,
Aud still the criekcts chirP and sing
Low in the.grass.
The cbirping chimes with our day dreams;
To saddrned hearts
II speaks but Of disease that bllghts,
And death that parts;
The hsppy hearts whose hope il bright
II sweetly tells
OF pleasant ways where sunshine CLEANS,
And ring joy.bclls.
Among the Autumn blossoms bright
The low wind talks
OF feet that pressed in years agonc
These garden walks,
That since bcueath the marble stone
Ceased wandering,
Aud DER them now through day aud night
The crickets sing.
Among the green CLEAN leaves Of red,
A banner bright
That Autumn filings upon the breeze
To state her rights,
while with sal -igh- among the trees
The soft winds pas~,'
Aud crickcfs mourn for beauty dead
Low in the grass.

other curious physiological freak
with which this person is afflicted,
is that immediately preceding rain

Useful Recipes.

UoARsENEss.-Whoever will try
alum and honey-a small portion of
each-willnever suffer from hoarse-
ness.
SMELL OF PAIST.-To get rid of
the smell OF oil paint, plunge a hand.
FIJI of hay into a pail full of water,
and let it stand in the room newly
painted.
BoRAX SOAP FOR BLEACHING
CLOTHES One ounce borax, eight
quarts water, three pounds OF soap.
Put the borax in the water and let
it boil. After it boils, add the soap
in small pieces.
CASTOR on FOR CoRNs.-The
Southern Medical Record says that
castor oil applied to the corn, after
pairing closely, each night before
going to bed, softens the corn, and
it becomes as the other flesh.
PAPER PtLL0ws.-ExcelleHt pill.

the sitter the paper the better.
Newspapers will not do. The paper
should be cut into strips, and rolled
round an ivory knitting needle. 1t
is then almost like Il spring, and
makes q much better cushion than
the torn paper, being more elastic.
Too MrCH CAMPHoR. - The
Scientific American cautions people
against the too frequent use of cam.
phor as medicine. 1t says the
nature of camphor is that of nerv-
Gus stimulant, similar TO opium or
alcohol, and when taken in large
doses, causes irritation of the ncrv.
Gus system, and produces convul-
sions, often fatal in their effects.
To MAKE HAIR CURL. - The
method employed by professional
workers in hair is as follows: Wet
the hair to he curlcd, wrap it
smoothly around cylindrical stick
or tube of proper size, tie it in place,
and then put it in water and boil it
two or three hours, remove it from
the boiler, wrap it carefully i'll news.

oven for an hour. Thus treated, it
will stay in curl permanently.

above. and 1t answers admirably,

DRYING BoOTS.-The American
Agrlculturist advises the drying of
boots, when wet inside, by filling
them with clean, dry oats. The oats
absorb the moisture rapidly, swell.
ing enough to fill the boots like a
tightly fitting last. When the oats
are clnptied out, put them by the fire
to dry tor future use. This advice
may seem strangely out of time
dnring a severe drouth, but the rain
will come some day and boots be
wet through. Let people remember
the advice when that time comes.
