EATING ANTS FOR PICKLES.
How Lumbermen in Maine and Cana
da DeVOur Them by Thousands.

1t is curious, says writer in
the American Rural Home, what
an appetite for something sour
me have who eat great deal Of
fat food. Generally in the lum-
befing region large quantity of
raspberries or blue berries is pick
ed aud put down in tubs to sour
for winter use. But that year
had been a poor berry year
scarcely any had been gathered.
Pickles! pickles!' was the cry,
morning, noon and night. There
were twenty-six choppers of the
camp all calling for pickles. can
If yer can't git US rozbriz, git ants"
So the cook sent Al Churchill and
me (the youngest two members of
the camp of iuto the woods after
great ants-for pickles! 1t may
seem rather oil, t. sag tha least,
that anybody could have the stom-
ach to eat SO ugly an insect as a
black ant. But it is not infre-
quently done i'll the numbering
camps Of Northern Maine and
Canada. l did muster courage to
chew ole up once. It had a fine
acid flavor, by no means unpleas-
ant, if one could keep his eyes
shut. Rough fellows, like the
lumbermen, are not vrry fastidi-
Gus. The cook gave US six
quart tin pail and cover to get the
ants in.
Al took an old gun which was
kept at the camp to shoot par
tridges and other and [ took
an axe to cut open the old logs
and stumps with. We set off for
tract where the fire had run
years before, and where old piue
trunks lay scattered in decay on
the ground as they fell. Many Of
these had colonies of large ants
living in tunnels AMI galleries
which they had cat inside. In Sep
TENDER it is easy to find out which
stumps or logs have the nests Of
ants, for by rapping smartly on
the SIDE an army of black fellc VS.
will pour out Of their holes; and
If you present your hand they
will attack it with rem arkable
fierceness. But so late as De-
cember the ants are too torpid
from the cold to sally forth But
we are guided by the holes which
they had cut for gates, and tue
heaps Of fresh chips, like sawdust,
which they had thrown out. A
few strokes of the axe suficed to
split or knock to pieces the old
stumps and expose the long tun-
mel and network Of cross passages
inside. Many IF these we found
packed with dormant ants, and
had only to scoop them into our
pail. In one log [ remember that
we scraped out not less than
quart, and a quart of ants must
contain at least 10000, even IF
these large ones.

A great sheet Of bevelel looking
glass, six feet high, swung on
brass rolls above the floor in one
corner for the young woman to
see her whole attire In. She had
also folding glass to reflect her
ears, back hair and neck.
There was an open fireplace be-
sides the hot-air- register, dress

boxes and bottles, an ivory clocl
like a bird cage, in which ivory

Not symptoms, but the Disease

/; would seem to be truth ap-
preciable by all, aud especially by
professors Of the healing art, that
to remove the disease, not to allie
yiate its symptoms, should be the
chief aim OF medication. Yet in
how many instances do we see
this truth admitted in theory, ia
nored In practice. The
reason that Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters is successful in so many
cases, with which remedies
previously tried were inadequate
to cope, is attributable to the fact
that it is a medicine which reach
es and removes the causes of the
various maladies to which it is
adapted. Indigestion, fever and
ague, liver complaint, gut rheu-
matism, disorder of the bowels,
urinary affections and other mala-
dies are not palliated merely, but
rooted out by it. 1t goes to the
fountain head 1t is really, not
nominally, u radical remedy, and
it endoas the system with an
amount Of yigor which is It's best
protection against disease.

SWAPPING THEIR WIVES.
BuSiness-Like love Making 3 tive II
Two Farmers.
New York Journal.


New York Journal.
Two men effected an exchange
of their wives to-day iii the neigh
boring town of Rock Springs,
/ Jefferson county. William E.
Howe, farmer there, hitchod up
bis team this morning and took
his wife, Nary Ellen, over to visit
Hiram Smith. friend Of Howe.
who lately married his second
wife. 1t was the first visit OF Mr..
and Mrs. Howe to the new Mrs.
Smith.
When they arri' ed at the Farm
house Smith introduced q young
and very pre5ty woman as his
wife. The young and pretty wo-
man was attractiyely dressed, too,
and her bright eyes and curly
black hair attracted Farmer Howe
directly. Mrs. Howe, who is
much on the shady side of thirty,
did not contrast we'll with the
young Mrs. Smith, for Mrs. Howe
is freckled and her figure has lost
the suppleness and elasticity that
graced it when she was Mary Ell
len Hopkins.
Farmer Smith helped Mrs.
Howe out of the carriage, and he
held her in his arms just about
the hundredth part of second
longer than was absolutely neces-
sary. Mrs. Howe did not mind
that, for she and Farmer Smith
were sweethearts long ago, before
Smith took his first wife, Mrs.
Smith saw it, however, and her
black eyes danced and flashed an
grily.
Farmer Howe put his horses up
in barn and joined the others in
the parlor. Mrs. Smith made
room for him on the sofa where
she sat, and did not make too
much room, either, so Howe had
to sit very close to her. Farmer
S NTH and Mrs. Howe sat on the
sofa opposite them, bat Mrs.
Howe did not rest easily in her
seat. She kept her eyes on her
husband AID his far companion.
She had 4 reason u keep an
eye OF them, for they we're getting
along famously, chatting auI
laughing as Familiarity as if they
had known each other for years.
Mrs. Smith has a peculiarly sweet
laugh, aHi it was catching for
Farm,r Howe.

isn't that a pretty name, Mary
Ellen?"
Il don't thluk So" snapped
Mrs. Howe.
"Prettier than Mary Ellen, any
how" laughed pretty Mrs. Saith.
That's SO, agreed Farmer
Howe.
Further hostilities were pre-
vented by the servants announce
ment that dinner was ready. They
all went into dinner, but Mrs.
Howe could nog swallow n mouth
full. Her husband kept vowing
that he had never tasted such bis
cults or such coffee as Mrs. Smith
made. He vowed, too, that her
apple sauce was perfection, and
that the duck was done to turn.
Once he put his foot tenderly on
his wife's foot and pressed it with
a pleading gentleness Of touch.
His wife wanted to know when he
was going to take that "clod-ho
per" from of her foot, and Farmer
Howe took it IF directly.
Farmer Smith looked on at the
Irritation, and finally started a firt-
alton of his own with Mrs. Howe.
That lady was just mad enough to
humor him. After dinner Farm
er Smith and Mrs. Howe remain
cd in the dining room. La about
half an hour Farmer Howe called
