Should a Maine lumberman find a
stump of rotten log with thousands Of
big black ants in it, he scoops tho torpid
Insects from their winter dOmicile and
fills his dinner pail with them. When
he gets back 70 his camp at night he
sets the pail ia a cool place until his
supper i5 ready, then brings it forth,
and, while helping himself TO pork and
beans, helps himself also to ants. There
isnoaccounting for tastes, and he cstcems
a handful of ants a very choice morsel
Ants are said by those who have tasted
them % have a peculiarly agreeable,
strongly acid flavor. The woodsmen,
whose food consists largely of salted
meat, baked beans and similar hearty
yicuals. naturally have q craving for
something SOLE. ANTS are the very best
Of pickles" said an old "logger," who
confessed &. having deyOured thousands
Of them. "They are cloanly insects, and
there Is no reason why they should not
bo eaten. il one can get over a little
squeami5hncss caused by the thought Of
taking such crawling things into his
stomach. There is nothing repulsiye
about them. and when o man has once
learned 20 eat the creatures as pickles he
prefers them 10 any other kind.
Ants have az various times and IN DIFF
fCrcnt countries been quite extensively
used iu medicine. and fOrmic acid which
was first obtained by distilling the bodies
of these insects, but is now artiiicially
prepared, is a well known and useful
chemical product.
Herodotus tells Of ants that live in the
deserts OF India which are in size some
what less than dogs, but larger than
foxes These creatures, in heaping up
the earth after the manner OF common
ants, were a very efficient aid 10 the In
dian gold hunters. The sand which they
threw up being largely mixed with gold,
the Indians were accustomed 10 20 t. the
desert in the heat Of the day, when the
ants were underground, load the sand
into sacks, pile the sacks upon their cam
els, and hasten from the spot as rapidly
as possible. Tho ants, according 10 the
historian, were not only the swiftcst OF

Cincinnati has the champion absent

suburbs went in a store on Walnut street
TO make o few purchase. The only
light in the store was d candle standing
on the counter near the money drawer.
After making his purchases he handed
the proprietor bill, and after returning
him the change the proprietor walked to
.hc rear Of tho store 70 arrange some
thing, whom suddenly he was left in the
dark. Ho started toward the counter,
and, gropmg around it, found, not the
candle, but the change. IL struck him
then that probably the man, in q iit OF
absent mindelness, had taken the candle
instead Of his change. lie started out
after him, and, catching up with him,
saw that he had the bundle in one hand
and the candle in the other. After apol-
