there, these springs are, indeed, "the
fountain of life Persons who came to
them afflicted with cancer, scroffula, rheu-
matism, dropsy, neuralgia, paralysis, do
betus, sore eyes and constipation, of the
worst type, say they have been greatly
benefited, many being entirely cured of
their troublesome maladies. Among these
invalids was a man from Scott county;
who was so badly paralyzed in 1870 that
he could not walk. After spending $1,000
with twenty,four different physicians,
and receiving no relief, as last resort,
he came to Eureka to see if there was any
virtue in the water, and, after giving it a
fair trial. is happily surprised to know
that he can now wax tolerabiy well, and
thinks he will soon be cured. In fact
more wonderful cures have been made
here than this case. The population of
Eureka is from 5000 to 10000, and large
number of persons arriving daley. To
those who are afflicted with the above
named diseases, | would say, visi Eureka

The agricultural ant is a pattern OF
neatness. The most minute particles
of dirt are carefully removed, and the
whole body frequently and thoroughly
cleaned, especially after eating and
sleeping. They assist each other in
the general cleansing, and the attitude
of the ant under operation is one of in
tense satisfaction, perfect picture of
muscular surrender and ease. An ant
has been seen to kneel down before
another, and thrust forward the head
under the face of the other, and lie
motionless, expressing the desire to be
cleaned; the other ant understood this
and went to work. Sometimes this is
combined with acrobatic feats, in which
these ants excel. jumping about and
clinging in remarkable fashion to
blades of grass. Sometimes the cleans
ing ant hangs downward from the
grass, and to her the ant operated
upon clings, reaching over and up with
great agility TO submit to her friends
offices. Evidently moisture from the
mouth is used for washing.
