ing stolen a very valuable old Roman coin,
believed TO be the only one of its kind ex-
tant Upon presenting an official order he
had been permitted to take the coin from
the case, to which he had seemingly re-
turned it after examining for some time.
But when the attendant was about to lock
the case the coin was missing. The gen.
tleman Indignantly denied having il, aud
refused to be searched. The detective
have mentioned, by aforcible search, found
the coin upon him and was about to take
hum TO prison, when, as the attendant was
about TO replace the coin in the case, he
discovered the one belonging to the muse
UNI just where it had slipped out Of sight
when the gentleman restored it. 1t seems
that there was another Of the coins, and that
the gentleman had purchased it and had
been anxious to compare il with the one in
the museum to establish its genuineness.

sometimes appear against the most inno-

HABITS OF ANTS.
How They Live and the Way I'm whis
They Bury Their Dead.

How They Live and the Way I'm which
They Bury Their Dead.
In spite of the multifarious duties and
tasks that are imposed on these tiny burgh-
ers, they still find time to clean and adorn
their worthy little persons. No spot, no
atom Of dust or any thing else uncleanly
will they tolerate on their bodies. They
get rid Of the dirt with the brushy tuft Of
their feet or with their tongues, says the
New York GrGphtc. They act for all the
world like domestic cats when they clean
and lick themselves, and they assist one an
other at the toilet precisely like monkeys.
Their sense Of cleanliness goes so far that
the naturalist often finds to his unpleasant
surprise the colored marks that he had ap-
piled with so much care on his "trial ants"
removed by their dirt-hating friends.
They keep their dwellings just as Clearly.
But the conveying away Of their de-
ceased brethren, whose bodies they appear
to regard with the greatest antipathy,
gives them more trouble than any thing
else. When some members of an ant COM
munity which Mr.. Cook kept imprisoned
died and could not be removed, those re-
naming seemed affected with the greatest
horror. For days the insects ran about
seeking way out, and ceased only when
completely exhausted. The ants belonging

and threw them into the WATERFALL, which
they converted into a sepulcher. Ordi-
narily, though, the ants are said to treat
their dead with more reverence. They even
possess their own graveyards, which lie in
the vicinity of their nests. They convey
their deceased companions thither, where
they lay them down in orderly little heaps
or rows.
1t is only the corpses Of their fellows,
however, that they treat in this manner.
Dead strangers they throw out like some
thing unclean, or tear the body in pieces.
Even between the master and slaves of the
same community Miss Trent says she has
observed a dissimilar mode of burial.
While the masters find their last repose in
special graveyard side by side, the slaves
lie like heaped-up refuse near the nest, de-
spised equally in death as in life.
The ant cemeteries are often thickly pop
ulated, for their life Is short. The male
lives only through one summer; the female
lives somewhat longer, and the workers die
Of old age in tine eighth or tenth year.

How an Alabama Gentleman Made His

How an Alabama Gentleman Made His
Landlords Hair Stand on End.
A story comes from Brewton, Ala, which
may be read with interest and profit, says
the Mobile Register. A gentleman seeking
residence found one just suited to his
taste in all but the inside ornamentation Of
the house, but being a gentleman of means
as well as taste, he accepted the house and
turned itover to the upholsterer for reno
walton. The most elaborate inside decora-
tons were soon made by the skillful paint
ers, the walls papered in the highest style
Of art, and in perfect unison with the fur
nishings. The papering was a subject OF
pleasant congratulations from the gentle
mans guests, and the landlord, hearing of
the improvements, concluded 1t would be q
good time to exact crack rent" He had
several offers to rent the house, so he
pulled down on the tenant for big rise of
money The tenant could not stand that.
He concluded to leave, but kick as he left.
He desired revenge, deep, solid and lasting.
so happy thought struck him 1t was q
dark and villainous thought, but perhaps
justifiable under the circumstances.
he hied him again to the wall-papering
man, and, with grin on his counterance,
looked over the samples of paper, and find
ing one a horror in bad figures of black and
mud-color, contracted for it to be put up, so
as TO completely hide the beautiful blue and
gold paper of the first edition. The paper
ing was scarcely completed before the land
lord dropped in to see whether the tenant
had not relented a little. He was shown in
TO the parlor. Hardly had he touched the
soft cushions of the chair than he sprang to
his feet, and with the yell of Comanche
fed the house. He had seen the paper on
the wall. II was a perfect nightmare.
