times, but she followed on with infatua-

Japs she suddenly threw her arms about
his neck and endeavored 20 plant an

1t is curious, SAYS 4 writer in the

tite for something sour some men have
who eat great deal Of fat food. Gener-
ally in the numbering region a large
quantity OF raspberries or blueberries
are picked and 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
tlse cry, morning. noon and night.
There were twenty-six choppers of the
camp. all calling for .spickles. 7 ''An'

ants in. al took an old gun which was
kept ut the camp to shoot partridges
and other game, and took an ax to cut
open the old logs and stumps with. We
set off for u tract where the fire had run
years before, and where old pine trunks
lay scattered in decay on the ground as
they fell. MANY of these had colonies
of large ants living in tunnels and gall
leries which they had cut inside. In
September 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 fellows will pour out of their
holes; and if you present your hand
they will attack it with remarkable
fierceness. But so late rs December the
ants are too torpid from the cold to sally
forth. But we were guided by the holes
which they had cut for gates, and the
heaps of fresh chips, like sawdust, which
they had thrown out. A few strokes of
the ax sufficed to split or knock to pieces
the old stumps, and expose the long
tunnels and network of cross-passagcs
inside. Many of these we found packed
with dormant ants, and bad only to
scoop them into our pail. Ia one log
remember that we scraped out not less
than quart, and a quart of ants must
contain at least ten thousand, even of
these large ones.
