Ants ore terrible fighters, says The Elk
aminer. 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 clingng with n death grip TO
each other, making a peculiar spectacle,
some with a 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 a certain tribe
of Indians in Brazil, who put the ants to n
very peculiar use. When an Indian gets a
cash cut in his hand, instead OF having his
hand sCwed together as 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 gasb together. Then the In
dian pinches Off the bodies Of the ants and
leaves their heads clinging to the cash,
which is held together until the wound Is
perfectly healed.

To allay the thirst engendered by the
fever In influenza, where wine is allowed,
there are few things better than siphons of
champagne, says an English writer on
dietetiCs.
Milk for grown folk, at all events, will
always be more acceptable when mixed
with seltzer soda or other effervescent
water, in the proportion of one part water
to two Of milk.
Tamarind water (made by boiling two
ounces of tamarinds with one-quarter
pound Of stoned raisins in three pints Of
water for an hour and then straining it),
or black currant and arrowroot drink (for
whiCn boil two tablespoonfuls OF black cur
rant Jam in quart of water; then cover it
and let it simmer gently for half an hour,
when it must be strained, brought again to
boiling point, and lastly poured boiling on
to teaspoonful Of arrowroot previously
rubbed smooth in little cold water, the
whole being stirred all the time the boiling
liquid is being added and used when cold)
will be found most acceptable.
Fruit drinks and fruit when permitted,
are much appreciated; but in severe cases,
where with children, especially the lips and
mouth are often much swollen and very
sore, grapes should be stoned and skinned
before given to the patient.

The fine evening NainsoOk pettlcOats
have as many as seven flounCes of lace on
them, and the silk ones are daintily
nounced and tucked Some Of the black
silk ones, for day wear, have a nounco of
shot silk, with black lace over. For day
wear are also made petticoats of bright
plaided silks, with ruflles of the same in
some cases; in others loose flOunces appear.
Then there are petticoats in plain, soft
silks Of dainty color, with rows Of inser-
tion threaded with ribbon.
The variety in nightgowns is great,
Many are remarkable for their exquisite
work, the dotting all hand wrought, the
tiny a jour veining appearing between the
plaits the collars turning down from the
neck and making n cascade down the front,
which, turn it where you will, falls in
graceful folds. Others have been trimmed
with the finest Irish guipure, which is
practically everlasting wear, and others
again after the Mother Hubbard order.
The newest knickerbockers are cut wide
in the leg; some are gathered at the knee
on ribbons threaded through bands Of in
sertion; others are trimmed with frills Of
buttonholed cambria and curved upward
toward the top of the knee, where they cul-
inmate in bow Of ribbon. In the illus
tration are shown two styles of night
dress. In the front Of one appear insertions
of torchon lace and embroidery.

ANSWERING INVITATIONS.

Tho Approved Formula for q Formal Note
OF Regret-The Penclled Visiting Card.
Although the custom of sending visit
ing card with the word regret" penciled
upon it has often been characterized us i'll
bred and discOurteous, II is still induRed to
a considerable extent, gays Good House
keeping, which adds that there are occa-
sions when the ordinary visiting card (al-
ways free from penciling) may be sent with
perfect propriety-not ut breakfast, how
ever. Where a formal regret Is desired the
following is the approved formula:
Mrs. Jones regrets that previous en-
gagemeut will deprive her Of the pleasure
Of accepting the polite invitation Of Mrs.
Smith for Thursday morning, June the
tenth"
The phrase, "a previous engagement" in
social parlaneo sufficss, according TO the
authority quoted, to INCLUDE any circum-
stances which prevents the acceptance OF
an invitation, whether 1t be illness IN the
household or tho arrival OF guests, and IL Is
not considered necessary to particulanEe in
ones note OF regret. A social visit paid at
an early hour In the day will afford the op-
portunity for Offering such EXPLANATION as
may be deemed needful.

At the right in the cut is represented
spider spinning the threads to form the
balloon. At the left is shown n spider with
balloon completed and floating in the air
At the top is seen a tuft Of threads left by
spider after the completion Of the journey.
The cause of the buoyancy of these little
spider web balloons is not thoroughly un-
derstood Apparently the separate threads
are charged with electricity as soon as
formed, and thus repel each other, to form
a light, bulky plume, instead Of adhering
together in heavy mass. Their buoyancy
is most probably due to the currents Of
heated air which surround them, and, in
fact, the fibers themselves would become
sufficiently heated by the suns rays to
warm the surrounding air and create an
ascending current. 1t has been noticed
that the spiders only take their aerial jour
neys on bright, sunny days, and that the
shadow of II passing cloud or the cutting
off Of the suns rays by an artificial screen,
causes the threads to droop and collapse.

ABOUT SUNSTRoKE.
Some OF It's Causes and Measures for It's
Prevention.

Some OF Its Causes and Measures for It's
Prevention.
Among probable causes of sunstroke
enumerated by The Lancet are the presence
of stagnant atmosphere, excess in diet, as
tending to retard tissue changes, pulmon-
ary oppression by clothing with consequent
mal-aeration, great physical exhaustion
with cardiac fatigue, and the consumption,
even in moderate amount, Of alcoholic
liquors during hot weather. The habitual
wearing Of somewhat loose porous cloth
ing, by encouraging per5piration and assist
ing the removal Of its products, will also
contribute materially toward the reduction
Of the general temperature. 1t is needful
TO keep in view the extreme sensitiveness
of the cerebro spinal nerve centers, espe-
cially those OF the medulla. Tho means by
which protection can best be accomplished
call for brief notice. Among these may
be mentioned the adoption of the familiar
white veil behind and over the head, the
interposition of wet white linen cloth be-
tween head and hat and the effectual ven
tilation of the latter.

Making friends is easy to the girl who
is bright and happy, whose society gives
pleasure and who Is genial. But keeping
them demands more than this, and a SEN
sible writer has thus summed up the
other requirements, most OF which are
mere matters OF good social form:
To keep friend don't get too intimate
with her. Have your own thoughts and
permit hOr to have hers.
Do not demand too much Of her in the
way OF confidence. And do mot be too ag-
gressive, wanting to know why she hasn't
done this, and why she doesn't think as
you do.
If her style of dress is not beautiful,
don't tell her; it will only offend her, be-
cause deep in her heaD she is convinced that
she knows a great deal more about it than
any one else.
Do not find fault with friends friend
and do not expect to be the only one given
a corner in her heart.
BE as considerate of her feelings as II
she were stranger, and remember that
politeness Is an everyday garment, and
not one intended only for holidays. Tc
sum up in a sentence, preserve the courtesy
of the beginning to keep the friendship tc

The Best Half of Life.

The best half Of life is In front of the man

The Hospital. TIE work he will do will be
done with the hand of a master and not Of
raw apprentice. The trained intellect
does not see "men as trees walking" but
sees everything clearly and in just measure
The trained temper does not rush at work
like blind bull ut n haystack, but ad-
vances with the calm and ordered peace Of
conscious power and deliberate determine
tion. To no man is the world so new and
the future so fresh rs to him who has spent
the early years Of his manhood in striving
to understand the deeper problems OF
science and life, aud who has made some
Roadway toward mprehending them. To
him the commOncst things are rare and
wonderful, both IN themselves and as parts
Of beautiful and intelligent whole. Suck
u thing Us stalencss in life and its duties
he cannot understand. Knowledge Is al
ways opening out before him in wider cx-

creasing power makes every year of his

The tradition which ends with the trans
portation of st. Mark to Venice and the
building of the first church, goes back to
the supposed martyrdom by dragging over
rough stones, and the venerated tomb at
Alexandria, where the remains were said
to have reposed for many centuries. Two
Venetian merchants, 1t is said, carried the
body from Alexandria by stealth in s15
and transported it to Venice Over the
porch doorways Of the cathedral are four
mosaics, representing the translation Of
the relics from Alexandria, the landing Of
the relics, the grand ceremonies upon their
arrival and the enshrining of the relics,

A uoraamadn MIcroplone.

A member Of the Chemists association
of London reosntly described how those
who are disposed TO amuse themselves In
this way can make an instrument which
will render audible the footsteps Of fly;
The little apparatus consists Of box with
a sheet of straw paper stretched on It's up
per part. Two carbons, separated by n
morsel Of wood and connected with the
two circuit wires, are fastened to it, and a
carbon pencil, placed crosswise between
the two, is kept in this position by II groove
made in the latter A very weak battery
is then sufficient to set the instrument at
work, and when the fly walks over the
sheet of paper it produces vibrations strong
enough TO react energetically on an op'li-
nary telephone.

A PonuIar Game.

A game which is very popular with young
people is played with all of the guests In
line. The first whispers to the second a
long sentence, she repeats it in whisper
and very rapidly to the third, and so on
until the end man repeats what he heard
aloud, and the one who gave the sentence
repeats it as he gave it. Never do the two
sentences bear the slightest resemblance to
each other, and the fun comes in compar-
ing them and seeing how far the last given
sentence misses the mark.
