The Highest Waterfall.

A recent traveller in New Zealand de.
scribes the great Sutherland waterfall.

cliff in three grand leaps, and constitutes
about one-half of the entire volume OF
the Arthur river The first leap is ovel
a dizzy cliff into u rocky basin 815 feet
below. Jumping forth again, it makes
another leap of 751 feet, and then goes
t,lmbling and leaping in one wild dash
of 33S feet into the pool at the foot of the
precipice. The total height is 1904 feet,
making the waterfall the highest yet dis
covered. When the sun is shining rain.
bows of all sizes hang over the fall, and
the effect is indescribably beautiful"

ANTS FOR EATING.


SONS - Larss = Fozss. 81
Should a Maine lumberman find a
stump Of rotten log with thousands Of
big black ants IN it, he scoops the torpid
insects from their winter domicile and
fills his dinner pail with them. When
he gets back to his camp at night he
sets the pail in a cool place until his
supper is ready, then brings it forth,
and, while helping himself TO pork and
beans, helps himself also to ants. There
isno accounting for tastes, and he esteems
a handful of ants very choice morsel.
Ants are said by those who have tasted
them to have a peculiarly agreeable,
strongly acid flavor. The woodsmen,
whose food consists largely Of salted
meat, baked beans and similar hearty
victuals, naturally have craving for
something sour. "Ants are the very best
ef pickles" said an old "logger," who
confessed to having devoured thousands
of them. ''They are cleanly insects, and
there is no reason why they should not
be eaten, if one can get over little
squeamishness caused by the thought of
taking such crawling things into his
stomach. There is nothing repulsive
about them, and when a man has once
learned to eat the creatures as pickles he
prefers them to any other kind"
Ants have at various times and in diff
ferent countries been quite extensively
ased in medicine, and formic acid, which
was first obtained by distilling the bodies
of these insects, but is now artifcially
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 uI
the earth after the manner of common
ants, were very efficient aid to the In
dian gold hunters. The sand which they
threw up being largely mixed with gold
the Indians were accustomed to go to the
desert in the heat of the day, when the
ants were underground, load tho SAND
into sacks, pile the sacks upon their cam
els, and hasten from the spot as rapidly
as possible. The ants, according to the
historian, were not only the swiftest o.
animals, but were gifted with such ;
sense of smell that they Immediately be
came aware of the presence of men i;
their territory, and unless the Indians
got away while tic ants were assembling
to attack them not man could escape

That Ache in the Back.

An Albany physician, says contem-
pOrary, declares that Americans suffer
more generally from Bright's disease
and nervous diseases than any other
people, and he says the reason is that
Americans sit down SO persistently at
their work. He SAYS: Americans are
the greatest sitters ever knew. While
Englishmen, Germans, and Frenchmen
walk and exercise, an American busi-
ness man will go to his office, take his
seat in his chair and sit there all day
without giving any relief to the tension
of the muscles Of the back. The result
is that these muscles surrounding the
kidneys become soft and fiabby. They
lose their vitality The kidneys them
selves soon become weak and debilita-
ted. If fAmericans would exercise more,
if they would stand at their desks rather
than sit, we would hear less of Bright's
disease. knew ofa New York man
who had suffered for some years from
nervous prostratiOn until it was recon-
mended to him that he have desk at
| which he could stand to do his work.
| Within wear he was one of the health
lest men you ever saw. His dyspepsia
and kidney trouble had disappeared,
and he had an appetite like a paver."
Camphor is made in Japan in this
wav. After the tree is felled to the
ground it Is cut up into chips which
are laid in q tub on large iron pot
partially filed with water and placed
over slow fire. Through holes in the
bottom of the tub steam slowly rises,
and heating the chips generates oil and
camphor. or course the tub with the
chips has closely fitting cover. From
this cover bamboo pipe leads to sue
cession ofother tubs with bamboo con-
nections, and the last of these, tubs is
divided into two compartments. The
upper compartment Is supplied with
a straw layer which catches and holds
the camphor in crystal deposit as II
passes to the cooling process. The
camphor is then separated from thu
straw, packed In wooden tubs, and
Iready for the market. The Oil is used

as the imports are nearly constant

will yield in the rainy season two nuts
in three days, and in the dry season the
average is about one in two days.
Many are lost by being blown off by

ANTICS OF A uEMUR,
How the Little Creature Amused Himself
and His Mistress.

now the creature amused H1maeu
and His Mistress.
No beast that ever saw was more
fond of play than the little Malagasy,
not even a lively kitten. From the
moment his door was opened till he
was shut in for the night he often gave
his mind to constant succession of
pranks. He scraped the beads off our
dress-trimmings with his comb-like
teeth. and he slapped or pulled books
or work out of orr hands, and espe-
cially liked to frolic in ones lap, living
on his back kicking with all fours, pre-
tending to bite, and even turning
somersaults Or indulging in the most
peculiar little leaps. In the latter he
flung out his arms, dropped his head
on one side in bewitching way,
turned half around in the air, and
came down in the spot he started from,
the whole performance so sudden, APP
parently so involuntary, and his face
so grave all the time, it seemed as if
spring had gone off inside, with which
his will had nothing to do.
A favorite plaything with the lemur
was window-shade. He began by
jumping up to the fringe, Selling it and
swinging it back and forth. One day
he learned by accident that he could
''set it off, and then his extreme
pleasure was to snatch at it with so
much force as to start the spring, when
he instantly let go and made one bound
to the other side Of the room, or to the
mantel, where he sat, looking the pict-
ure of innocence, while the released
shade sprang to the top and went over
and over the rod. We could never
prevent his carrying out this little pro-
gramme, and we drew down one shade
only to have him 81, set off another
the next instant
