A Pony Commits Suicide.

An DIN negro woman living in
the rear of No. 1112 North Eight
street, up to last evening, was the
happy possessor of a little gray
pony. The animal was O diminu.
tive creature, and was the pet OF
the neighborhoOd aud the admira-
ton of the Juvenile population of
the vicinity. Nellie was q hand
some pony and full of gentleness
and sportiveness. She had become
quite antiQuated, and of late seem.
Ell to have lost considerable of her
frisky ways, and to have become
serious and meditativs. She at
last, as the result would indicate,
came to the conclusion that she
had Outlived her usefulness, and
last evening, without a moments
warning, except a few farewell
neighs, deliberately dashed her
head against the wall of the house
and broke her neck, dying in two
minutes. It's owners grief was
great, and to-day, in pathetic &C.
cents, she related the sad death of
her Nellie to the police of the
third precinct. Nellie's decease ia
greatly mourned by the youthful
residents of Eighth street.-Sy.

one of his patients, q lady who was
complaining of sick headache and
general unwellness. "I'll tell you
what's the matter with you,
madame" he said promptly; otis
that American stove you have
over there. Those coal-burning
stoves are reservoirs of polson-the
deadliest things in the world"
"But that stove cost me 100
francs" protested the lady.
"Never mind that; better lose
any amount of money than your
life. I'll tell you what I'll do. I'll
give you 25 francs for it and find
some way Of getting rid of the per.
nicous object" The lady consent
cd aud the lady removes the stove.
A few days later the patient, who
thinks Of changing her residence,
goes out to inspect q suite of
rooms, and the first thing that
meets her gaze is the stove. "Who
lives here?" she asks of the serv-
ant who is showing her over the
rooms. "Mme. A., madame"
says the servant, respectfully; "Dr.
BIS mother-in-law."

A Funeral Procession of Ants.

One day little boy of mine, about
four years old, being tired of play, threw
himself down on a grassy mound to rest
Shortly after / was star tied by sudden
scream. My instant thought was that
some serpent had stung him. flew in
horror to the child, but was at once re-
assured on seeing him covered with SOL
der ants, on whose nest he had lain
himself down. Numbers of the ants
were still clinging to him with their for
ceps, and continued to sting the boy.
Ny maid at once assisted me in killing
them. At length about 20 were thrown
dead on the ground. We then carried
the boy indoors. In about half an hour
afterward | returned to the same spot
when i saw a large number OF ants sur
rounding the dead ones.oalI determined
to watch their proceedings closely. /
followed four or five that started from
the rest toward a hillock short dis
tance of, in which was an ants nest.
This they entered, and in about five
, minutes reappeared, followed by others.
, An fell into rank, walking slowly two
by two, until theyiarrived at the spot
where lay the dead bodies of the soldier
ant. In few minutes two of the ants
advanced and took up the dead body Of
one Of their comrades then two others,
and SO 4on, until all were ready to
march. First walked two ants bearing
a body, then two without "a burden
then two others with another dead ant,
and s. on, until the line was extended
to about 40 pairs, ond the procession
moved slowly onwards, followed by an
irregular body of about 200 ants. JOc-
casionalIy the two laden ants stopped,
and laying down the. dead ant, it was
taken up by the unburdened two behind
and thus occasionally relieving each
other, they arrived at a sandy spot near
the sea. l The body Of ants now com
menced digging with their jaws holes in
the ground, into each of which a dead
ant was laid, where they now labored on
until they had filled up the ants graves,
This did not quite finish the remarkable
circumstances attending this funeral of
the ants. Some six or seven of the ants
had attempted to run off without per-
forming their share of the task 'cf dig
ging these were caught and brought
back, when they were at once killed
upon the spot q A single grave was
quickly dug, and they We're all dropped
into it.

madagascar Widows,

Upon The death of any man Of posi-
ton or wealth, onthe day ofthe funeral,
the wife is placed in the house, dressed
in all her best q uthes, and covered with
her silver ornaments, Of which the Siha-
naka wears considerable quantity.
There She remains until the rest Of, the
family returns home from the tomb
HB,lt as soon as they enter the house,
they begin to revile her with the most
abusive language--telling her that it is
her fault that her winianu, or fate, has
bsen stronger than that Of her husband,
and that she is virtually the cause Of his
death. They then strip her Of her
clothes, tearing off with violence the or
naments from her ears and neck and
arms. They give her q coarse cloth, a
spoon with broken handle, and dish
with the foot broker of, from which to
eat, Her hair is disheveled, a2d she is
covered up with coarse mat. Under
that she remains all day lying, and can
leave it ONLY at night and she may not
speak to any one who goes into the
Mouse. She is not allowed to wash her
face and hands, but only the tips Of her
fingers. She endures all this sometimes
for a year, or at least for eight months ;
and even when that is over her time OF
mourning is not ended for considerable
period, for she is not allowed to gohome
to her own relations until she has been
first divorced by her husbands family.

4 Q Disaprointed American.

A "Disappointed American" WHO,
when he Went to see the Tower of Lon
don, was told about nothing but armor
and weapons, was SO disgrunted as to be
forced to send a written complaint to
the leading English journal. The com
plant Is conspicuously posted and the
conclusion is reached that 1t would be a
very great gain if in the Tower and all
other historic places really competent
persons now and then gave discourses on
places open to the general public. And
even without this, it should be an estab-
hshed rule in every such place that no
one should be obliged to follow or listen
to guide. y. s.H r.... ..
