Stitched with Ants Jaws.

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 n another and hold
on with a powerful grip Of their jaws,
even after all their legs have been bitten
off by other ants. Sometimes six OF
eight : will be clinging with a death
grip to one another, making a peculion
spectacle, some with a leg gone and
some with half of the body gone.
One singular fact is that the grip OF
an ants jaw is retained ever after the
body has been bitten and nothing but
the head remains. This knowledge is
possessed by a certain tribe of Indians
in Brazil, South America, who put the
ants to n very peculiar use.
When an Indian gets q cash cut in his
hand. instead of having the flesh sewed
together us the physicians do in this
country, he procures five OF six large
black ants, and holding their heads
near the cash, they bring their jaws to-
gether in biting the flesh, and thus pull
the two sides of the cash together.
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.-Ey-
ch07lge.

Traits Of the Shah.

The Shah is not a young man, he is
some sixty years old, but he has always
led a temperate and healthy life, de
lighting in outdoor exercise, a great
hunter and a good shot, and he conse-
quently to-day enjoys excellent health,
and is active alike in mind and body.
Notwithstanding a certain severity
of c%ountenance and manner, the Shah
is of a very cheerful disposition, and is
quick to note any amusing incident and
laughs heartily thereat. He is very re-
served and distant in his intercourse
with officials, either his own or foreign
ers, but such instances as his shaking
hands indiscriminately with the crowd
who suddenly surrounded his carriage
when his special train unexpectedly
stopped in Rugby Station, sufficiently
prove his bonhomie and good nature.
No doubt he is somewhat suspicious.
But he has seldom known a disinter-
ested friend, and he is a good judge of
character, q shrewd observer OF men
and things. His remarks and questions
during his inspection Of our industrial
establishments were thoroughly prac-
teal and showed a just appreciation OF
what We're important points for his OBJ
servation. -INineteentM Century,.

Married Without knowing 1t.

1t is not often that a young woman
is married without knowing it, says the
Chicago Herald, but that is what hap
pened to Miss Belle Woods, a young
lady at Schuyler, Neb. She was one
of the guests at the wedding of a
young lady friend a few days ago, and
so was George Poole, a young man who
had long been enamoured with her
beauty. She was to otliciate as bride
maid and young Poole as best man.
just before the ceremony Poole called
the clergyman aside and told him pri-
vately that he and Miss Woods were to
be married, too, and suggested that q
change in the order of the ceremonies
would be an interesting surprise for
the audience. The guests. as he had
surmised, We're completely astonished
when he and Miss Woods came forward
and went through a regular marriage
ceremony. The other wedding followed
Immediately. and then everybody want
ed to know what it all meant. On be-
ing told that she was Poole's wife
Miss Woods becomingly tainted, and
on Coming to" said that she had sup
posed herself to be merely going
through the performance Of her duties
as a bridemaid, and that she should
never, never be the wife Of the wicked
Poole. Nothing has since changed her
mind, and q legal separation has been
applied for.

A Senatorial Episode.

If the police will please look the
other way a moment we will slyly slip
i'll the following communication sent tc
us by a youmorist, who appears to have
been marvelously inspired by the ma
jestic scene that lay before him as he
sat in the Senate gallery the other
day. He entities his prose epic "a
Senatorial Episode" 1t canters along
thus:
Sitting in the press gallery of the
Senate recently L saw q Moody Senator
Beck to the Gray Butler, who seemed
to understand the signal, forhe prompts
ly proceeded to Call the Stewart, who
hastily procured for the aforesaid Sen
ator a Berry and a Plumb. Very soon
thereafter he was seen to clasp both
hands over his Vest, from which it was
evident he was suffering great Payne.
Thereupon a Sawyer suggested that
the best remedy was a little Bate taken
out OF a black bottle, which was prompt
ly administered, and in a short time the
patient was as Hale as a country Squire
doing in his Pugh during the Sunday
morning service.
"By George" said he, chat little
Bate was worth a kings Ransom. Now,
when | get the Barbour to give me a
nice shave, and take q stroll on the
grass Plat and down through the Pad
dock to the Quay, I will feel as happy
as the bank Teller who has escaped to
Canada with his pockets full Of Doodle.
Then when [ get to my quarters and
Frye any fish caught in the Quay over
a good Coke fire, | will be ready to go
to bed and bid Farwell to earthly
cares"
Now, he who cannot see the point of
this story should procure a tallow-dip
from the Chandler, by the light Of
which he may be able to Pierce the
darkness that envelopes his under
Post.

THE LITTLE FOLKS.
The Snow Battle.

From the signs of the times it is safe to saw
That the big white fort will be stormed to-day;
And the enemy take position.
Inc drums are beaten, the trnmpets b1are.
The flags are hutterins everywhere.
And every resolute soldier there
Has an armful OF ammunition,
Their shouts ring out in the frosty sky.
They charge-they pause-they waver and f1yi
They halt.they form-upd again they try
With reck less, wild endeavor.
Fiercer and closer the conflict grows.
VINO cares now for q tingling nose?
He that first DER the rampant goes
Is covered with glory forever.
Thicker and fastor the missiles fnll.
Hark to the leaders stirring call:
on! Onl Over tho wnlll
The enemy's ranks are shaken! 7,
B5ravely and blindly on they 90,

"Do L Look Like !, Ladyo"

never been in any school before. When
she entered the room she found them

wearing their hats, putting vile cigars,
a defiant leer or every face. They
greeted her with q loud laugh, and one
OF them exclaimed:
Well, sis, You goin' to teach us ?"
She stood silent until the laugh was
over and then said quietly:
DO I look like a lady?"
An astonished stare was the only
reply they gave:
Because" she continued, gently,
"gntlemen, when a lady enters the
room, take off their hats and throw
away their cigars"
The lowest American secretly be-
iieves himself to be a gentleman. and
IN a moment every hat was off and the
lads were ranged in orderly attention.
so remarkable was the success of
the girl in managing and influencing
men OF the ronghest sort that she
made it the work Of her life. She es-
tabl1shed clean and respectable board
ing houses for sailors and boatmen,
and reading and coffee rooms for labor
ers, and founded an order of honor, the
members OF which strove to lead sober.

their fellows to do the same.

1shes the day, and the Queen retires to
rest.
No question of state is ever decided
finally until her Majesty has been o
suited, and she is such a sensible and
clever woman that she has often put
her Ministers right and settled a diff
cult point, and generally for the best.
The Queen is faithful to her old
friends and thoughtful for everybody
with whom she comes in contact, re-
~membering the smallest details about
them, their families, and their occupa-
tons, and giving evidence Of this at
most unexpected moments. A. circum-
stance which happened to me iustifies
strongly the truth of this. Four years
ago L was singing at the Royal Opera
at Berlin, and was not even aware that
the Queen knew of my engagement
there. L., soon after my debut, was at
a large dinner party at the English
Embassy, and sitting next to me was
one of the gentlemen of the Grown
Princess household. During dinner
he put into my hand a telegram, telling
me to read it. This was from the
Queen to her daughter now the En-
press Frederick, recommending me to
her and desiring her to do all she could
for me. Needless to say that after
this l was so excited that i could eat
no dinner, and I insisted on keeping
the telegram, n of my precious
souvenirs.
Her Majesty is fond of music and is
a good musician.
The Queen herself looks after the
welfare of all her tenants and servants,
and it any one OF them is sick she is the
first n to pay them q visit and take
them little comforts.
During her stay in Scotland she takes
q pleasure during her drives in stop
ping at various cottages to ask aftel
the welfare Of the inmates. When sc
occupied the Queen is as kind and sim.
pie as any ordinary lady could be.
