A Predictions Purchase.

The readers of the GAZETTE will be
as pleased to learn, as we are to write
that we have purchased the cream of
the stock of clothing manufacturer
In New York City. TWAS a big thing
for a retail store in Fort Worth to
make such purchase, but IL is done
now, and there is no use looking back
wards. The goods must be sold. The
reason we bought the goods is that
they were very stylish and cheap.
The reason that the mapufacturer sold
them TO us so cheap, we don't know.
But we think he needed the money.
What power money is? And, now,
IL is the power Of your money, readers
and patrons, that will induce us to |
make such low prices. All of these
goods we intend to retail at wholesale
prices.
We shipped one-half of these goods
by rail and one-half by sea via Calves
ton. The one-half shipped by sea has
arrived, the balance by rail will arrive
during the week. OF Mems, Youths,

The Brain of an Ant,

Well may Darwin speak of the brain
of an ant as one OF the most wondrous
particles of matter in the world. We
are apt to think that it is impossible
for so minute piece of matter to pos
sess the necessary completely required
for the discharge of such elaborate
functions. The microscope will no
doubt show some details in the ants
brain, but these fall hopelessly short of
revealing the refinement which the
ants brain must really have. The
microscope is not adequate to show us
the texture OF matter 1t has been one
of the great discoveries of modern times
to enable us TO form some numerical
estimate OF the exquisite delicacy of
the fabric which we know as inert mat
ter. Water, or air, or iron may be
divided and subdiyided, but the process
cannot be carried on indefinitely.
There is a well defined limit. We are
even able to make some approximation
to the number of molecules in given
mass of matter. Sir w. Thomson has
estimated that the number OF atoms in
a cubic inch of air is to be expressed
by the figure B, followed by no fewer
than twenty ciphers. The brain of the
ant doubtless contains more atoms
than an equal volume of air; but even
if we suppose them to be the same, and
if we take the size of an ants brain to
be little globe one-thousandth of an
inch in diameter, we are able to form
some estimate OF the number of atoms
it must contain. The number is to be
expressed by writing down g. and fol-
lowing it by eleven oiphers We can
imagine these atoms grouped ia so
many various ways that even the com.
plexty of the ants brain NAV be in
telligible when we have so many units
TO deal with An illustration will
perhaps make the argument clearer

Darwin Descent OF Man. This book
merely consists of about 1900, 900 let
tiers, placed one after the other in
certain order. Whatever be the COM
plexity of the ants brain, it is still
hard to believe that it could not be
fully described in 1000 volumes,
each as large as Darwins work. Yet
the number of molecules in the ants
brain is at least 400, 600 times as great
as the number of letters in the memoir

Ladies' Lips.

"At all gatherings in the city the most
startling thing to one of the masculine
gender" said visitor to St. Louis,
lis the appearance of the neither lip of
the bellies of ST. Louis On four out of
five the indentations Of their teeth are
perceptible, having callous spots not
unlike those on the hands of those en-
gagged in manual labor. and detracting
materially from the beauty of their
face and the flexibility of the mouth.
On inquiry by st. Louis reporter as
to the reason for this, of one Of the
young ladies with whom the gentle
man relating the incident was we'll ac-
quainted, it was learned that ladies bit
their lips for the purpose of causing the
crimson blood to rush forward as soon
as the pressure of the teeth was re-
moved, thereby giving the roseate hue
of their brunette sisters of southern
climes. Soon it becomes permanent
habit and leaves unsightly indentations
surrounded by n rim of callous flesh,
and marring their appearance. In
taking trip on the Olive street line il
was observed that out of eleven lady
passengers seven were biting their lips,
and all had the unsightly spots referred
to. If the process is continued for any
length of time the blood refuses to flow
as desired. leaving the lips as colorless
as the pallid cheek of pencil-catins
