At the dinner station, where we stopped
one day on certain Tennessee railroad,
almost the first sight which greeted the
eyes of those who got of was rough
burial box on the platform, and seated
near it was an old black woman with q
handkerchief to her eyes. When kindly
asked the cause Of her sorrow she pointed
to the box and replied:
"De ole mans in dar."

A Woman's Club.

You men have numerous clubs to
which you can go and spend your leisure
hours, while we-pocr creatures-are
supposed to spend our spare time at
home. I have been long thinking Of
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 indorsed by
numerous well known society leaders

Uses 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
wonderful grip Of the jaws, even after
their legs have been bitten of by other
ants. Sometimes six or eight ants will
be clinging with death grip to one an
other, making peculiar spectacle, some
with leg gone, and some with half the
body gone. One singularfact 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 ian Indian gets cash cut in his
hand, instead of having his hand sewed
together as the physicians do in this
country, he procures Eve or six large
black ants, and, holdingtheir 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 of the bodies Of the ants,
and leaves their heads clinging to the
flesh, which is held together until the
cash is perfectly healed.-Interview in
st. Louis Globe Democrat.

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. The
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-
tion for another race similar to the for
eign heart cherries.
When we come to the pluu,s 1t Is seen
at once that nature has laid broad
foundation for US TO build upon in our
variant native species-east, west and
south-selection 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 fal
beyond that of any foreign stone fruit
With this abundant material, and all thu
acquired skill of modern science, ant
with these natives and all their relatives
from other continents to work with, oul
skilled horticulturists ought to produc,
remarkable results within q compare

The West End was pleasantly en-

band of serenaders. The party con-
sisted of eight or ten young couples,

Ark, Tuesday last, after painful
and lingering illness. Mr.. Kennedy
had very large circle of warm

whom the news of his death brings a
deep and heartfelt sorrow. AS
pastor he was greatly beloved, and as
an earnest Christian gentleman and
tireless worker in Gods vineyard his
influence was felt in every quarter of
the city. Mr.. Kennedy leaves a wife
and four children, who receive the
deepest sympathy Of many hearts in
their sad affection. '.. ~"
The week just closing has been a
