How TO DANISH ANTs.-Prof Ledys experi-

bits of sweet cake placed in every room in
the house. The cakes soon swarmed with ants.
Tapping the insects off into a cup of turpentine,
he replaced the cakes and captured fresh legion,
After few days no ants appeared on the cake.
lheir presence was still suspected, however, and
&c upon the bits of pork. After few days the
PORK was unnoticed, and cheese was tried, with

Che fun Of the Tlliue.
A SANITY SPREE.

In ancient days. IL came to pass,
ST. Peter and st. Paul. alas
Went out each seated ON ass.
To bum around Jerusalem
They called AZ taverns, great Ind small
First Peter treated, then st. Paul,
Till from their asses both did fall
These bummers Of Jerusalem
They shout and roar; oh, shame! oh, shame!
And each Of them did loudly claim
That Champagne Charlie was his name,
These DRAWERS Of Jerusalem.
At length, when they had had enough,
They sat themselves. cigars to puff.
And then commenced a-playing bluff,
These gamblers Of Jerusalem.
Two Yanks into the bar room came;
The one was blind. the other lame;
Says Paul, Lets play q four-hand game
or euchre, In Jerusalem."
He touched the blind, and then the lame.
And both Of them all right became,
And then sat down to play the game
Called euchre, in Jerusalem.
But both the saints were rather slow,
And with the Yanks they b ad NO show,
For they had come from Chicago
To clean out old Jerusalem.
So. Paul and Pete were quickly beat
And then stuck in to pay the treat;
And both the Yanks took "whisky neat
To drink, in old Jerusalem.
They tossed the dice, to see who'd pay;
That's much the best and shortest way;
But saints don't toss dice every day.
Not even in Jerusalem
st. Paul threw first-eightsen he made,
(The dice were cogsed, I'm much afraid;
You can't beat that, old man. he said,
And no one in Jerusalem
St. Peter muttered, "Sacre bleur'
He took the dice, nineteen he threw,
Says Paul, Come, thatll do for you,
You fraud Of old Jerusalem,"
At length their money all was spent
And each home to his hash house went
md didn't come out till after Lent,
To spree around Jerusalem.

handsomest and best they ever saw or tasted.
This is my way Pick the fruit at night to each

boiling juice till full; take a silver tablespoon,
run down inside the can several times, letting
the air escape. Do not he afraid to do this for
two or three minutes then fill with boiling juice
and seal. If you have more juice left add more
sugar and make jelly. Keep your cansi a dark.
cool place. For raspberries, make strip first; let
boil, add fruit. and proceed in the same way,
and please tell your readers some time if your
fruit did not keep well. forgot to say try your
cans first, that they may be air tight, and after
sealing, tnrn them upside down, until cool.
