Eses of Ants.

Ants are terrible fighters. They have
very powerful jaws, considering the size
of their bodies, and therefore their
method of fighting is by biting. They
will bite one another and hold on with
a wonderful grip of the jaws, even after
their legs have been bitten off by other
ants. Sometimes six or eight ants will
be clinging with death grip to one an
other, making peculiar spectacle, some
with q leg gone, and some with half the
body gone. One singular,fact is that the
grip of an ants jaw is retained even
after the body has been bitten off and
nothing but the head remains. This
knowledge is possessed by certain tribe
of Indians in Brazil, South America,
who put the ants to very peculiar use.
When an Indian gets cash cut in his
hand, instead of having his hand sewed
together as the physicians do in this
country, he procures five or six large
black ants, and, holding their heads near
the cash, they bring their jaws together
in biting the flesh, and thus pull the two
sides of the cash together. Then the
Indian pinches off the bodies of the ants,
and leaves their heads clinging to the
flesh, which is held together until the
cash is perfectly healed.-1nterview in
st. Louis Globe-Democrat.

eyes of those who got of WAS rough

asked the cause Of her sorrow she pointed
to the box and replied:
'De ole mans III dar."

SYes; died two days ago back ycrc in

"And what are you doing with the

boo ole man will be lonesome down

"What bosh!" growled the kicker

Our Native Tree Fruits.

Take our cherries to begin with. We
have, first, the shrubby choke cherry,
which unquestionably might become the
parent of an improved dwarf ironclad
fruit, either directly developed from the
best among the wildings, or aided by
crossings with foreign species. Tho
dwarf Black Hills cherry, probably the
largest of our natives, would, perhaps,
cross we'll with the choke cherry. Among
the innumerable wild bird cherries, "
even in the wild state, selections could
easily be made of trees producing very
large and good fruit, with which to
make an advantageous start, while the
black cherry might be made the founda-
ton for another race similar 10 the for
eign heart cherries.
When we come to the plums it is seen
at once that nature has laid broad
foundation for us to build upon in our
variant native species-east, west and
south-selections from which are already
widely cultivated. It is easy to believe
that from these can be educed fruit far
superior to and widely different from
anything yet known. 1t would not be
surprising to see plums from this stock
reaching eventually the size and quality
of the apricot, with vigor of tree far
beyond that of any foreign stone fruit.
With this abundant material, and all the
acquired skill of modern science, and
with these natives and all their relatives
from other continents to work with, our
skilled horticulturists ought TO produce
remarkable results within compare
lively brief time.-Vick's Magazine.

A Wonan's Club.

You men have numerous clubs to

hours, while we-poor creatures-are
supposed to spend our spare time at

forming some sort of organization for
ladies where they may go in the after
noon and have good time just like the
sterner sex. In the evening we could
have receptions for our gentlemen
friends. OF course, we would have no
bar or smoking room, but would have
tea and coffee rooms instead. A club OF
that sort would be heartily Endorsed by
numerous we'll known society leaders,

At this point Peyton (whom the CONVEX
sation evidently annoyed) remembered that
his presence was required on deck, and
left US TO ourselves, on which we had q
long talk and many stories about rats; but
