CURIOUS Uses OF ANTs.-A curious use is
made of ants by the Indians of Brazil, who
employ them to dress wounds, causing them
to bite the edges together, and then cutting
off the head the jaws will not relax, but
hold the wound together till healed. They
were formerly used as cruel instrument of
torture by South African tribes, who, tied
their victim to tree, smcarcd his body with
grease and placed an ants nest at his feet
The Arabs, according to Mr.. Moggridgc,
place an ant in the hand of newly born
child, that the virtues of the insect may pass
into the infant Naturalsts also sometimes
make use of these industrious scavcngcrs
When they require perfect specimen of the
smaller vertebrates, they place the body in Il
box, bore few holes in it, and bury it near
an ants nest in few days perfect and
most delicately whitened skeleton will be
found in the box.

SUNSHINE FOR SLEErLEss PEoPLE.--Sleep-
less peoplc-and there are many in America
should court the sun. The worst sopo-
rifle is laudanum and the very best, sunshine.
Therefore, it is very plain, poor sleepers
should pass as few hours as possible in the
shade. Many women are martyrs, and yet
they do not know it. They shut the sun
shine out of their houses and their hearts,
they wear wells, they carry parasols, they do
all possible to keep off the subtlest and yet
most potent influence which is intended to
give them strength and beauty and cheerful
ness. Is it not time to change this, and so
get color and roses in our pale checks,
strength in our weak backs, and courage in
our timid souls? The women of America
are pale and delicate, they may be blooming
and strong, and the sunlight will be potent
influence in this transformation.

GOD CARES FOR ME


stood in the door at eventide,
My heart was full of fears
And saw the landscape before me lie
Through mists of burning tears
thought to myself, the world is dark,
No light nor joy see;
Nothing but toll and want is mine,
And no one cares for me.
A sparrow was twittering at my feet,
With its beautiful auburn head,
And looked at me with dark, mild eyes,
As il picked up crumbs of bread;
And said to me in words as plain
As the words of bird could be-:
"l'm only sparrow, a worthless bird.
But the dear Lord cares for me-"
A lily was growing beside the hedge,
Beautiful, tall and white,
And it shone through the glossy leaves of
green
Like an angel clothed in white;
And II said To me, as it waved its head
On the breezes soft and free:
II M only a lily, Il useless flower,
But the Master cares for me-"
Then il seemed that the hand of the loving
Over my head was laid,
And he said to me, 20 faithless child,
Wherefore art thou dismayed?
clotha the lilies, feed the birds,
see the sparrows fall:
Nothing escape My watchful eye,
MY Kindness is over all.

circumstances ~ reached the ears OF
the wife. who was a happy. pleasant
woman OF generous nature. liked by
both young and old. and who believed
that Size alone possessed her husbands
affections. On Saturday Mr.. Sperry
left his home. informing his wife that he
was going to Cape May or Atlantic City
on a business trip. on Friday after
| noon. Miss De Haven left the SEER,
cottage. telling Mrs. Sperry that she
was going to Brindletown to stay over
sunday. When the schoolmistress was
found to be absent from the school on

home. suspicious hints were given out
that the absent pair were together. 1t
was then learned that the clipping couple
drove through Brindletown IN Saturday.
and passed the night together at I vii
