have expressed himself so successfully?
The black letters danced before his eyes
like hooking demons. Surely some
evil chance had encompassed him.
For hours he sat in that stupor
which stunning blow will cause; then
his eyes lighted upon the package.
Surely he recognized that superscrip-
ton; it was her dear handwriting. He
opened it. 1t contained a motley col
lection of missives, all, alas! his own.
Yes, there was the blotted half page
upon which he had first printed with
such pride; the boyish notes OF in
vitation and of birthday congratulation;
the descriptions of his pleasure trips
and of his life at school, and last, but
not least. the fateful product of the
Universal Letter Writer, which had so
signally failed of its purpose.
He unfolded it; he read it in amaze

ANTS As SURGEONS.
The Csc Made OF Their Powerful Jaws b.
Tribe OF Brazilian Indians.

The Csc Made OF Their Powerful Jaws by q
Tribe OF Brazilian Indians.
Ants are terrible fighters, says a wri-
ter in the New York Examiner. They
have vers- 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 off by
other ants. Sometimes six or eight
ants will be cl:nging with death grip
to another, making peculiar specta-
Gle, 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 re-
mains. This knowledge is possessed
by certain tribe Ct Indians in Brazil,
who put the ants to very peculiar use.
When an Indian gets a cash cut in his
hand, instead CT having his band sewed
together, as physicians do in this coun-
try, 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 cash, which is held together until
the cash is perfectly healed.

STALE WELL WATER.

An Explanation That Seems to Be Bascd
on Close Observation.
l have dug at different times and in
different localities three wells. When
they were first dug the water did not
taste all right. l attributed the bad
taste to the earth and stones One of
them is thirty feet deep, and used to
water seven horses at it and at the same
time we used the water from it in the
family. There never was better or
purer water, and this contin ued so
long as we watered the horses and were
drawing large quantities from it each
day. used it for twelve years in this
way. Then I dug a we'll near my barn
yard and put a windmill over it to
pump water for my stock. From that
time did not water horses at the old
well and the water began to taste and
smell badly shortly afterwards The
well filled up SO that there were
nearly fifteen feet of water in it. I
have abandoned it entirely and get my
water from the new we'll. on account of
its purity, because so much water is
pumped from it for stock. Neither
found within four rods of the old well.
! have attributed the bad taste and
smell to the fact that the water stands
so long. l believe I am right. l can
see no reason why water will not get
stale by standing as well as any thing
else. l am away from home large
share of my time and find very many
wells the water from which tastes and
smells very badly indeed, and in every
instance it comes from wells that are
nearly full. On the contrary. when |
find good water it is from deep wells in
which the water never gets very high.
l believe the water from shallow wells
is purer than that from deep ones, be-
cause the water in the former is drawn
out soon after it has flowed in, while in
the other case the water is, in great
part, made up of surface drainage, and
has become more or less foul from stag
nation and lack of aeration.-C. NJ. Lusk,

been affected with Neuralgia Of the
Head, Stomach and Womb, and
writes: "My food did not seem to

was yellow, my head dull, and I had
such pains in my left side. In the
morning when I got up I would
have a flow of mucus in the mouth,
and a bad, bitter taste. Sometimes
my breath became short, and I had
such queer, tumbling, palpitating
sensations around the heart. I ached
all day under the shoulder blades,
in the left side, and down the back
of my limbs. It seemed to be worse
in the wet, cold weather of Winter

turn cold, and I could get no sleep

Taking up the January WIDE AWAKE
one is led to reflect that this magazine
has a particularly happy and kindly
way of enlisting the interest and the
fancy of it's readers by its Prize Compe-
titions. Its amusing Nonsense Ami
mails" were enjoyed by young and old
and showed tina the drawing-lessons at
school had really ira ined young fingers
to express ideas with the pencil; the
"Lambkin, Prig or Hero competition
was not bad COURSE in Moral Phil
osophy. The "Prize Anagram" compe-
tition amused thousands of readers.
For 1891 Miss Runners Prize Art-series,
"The Drawing of the Child Figure" bids
fair to be of great interest to children,
while the Prize problems in Horol-
ogy," by e. H. Hawley of the Smithson-
ian Institution, will call forth the ef-
forts of the students in the Latin and
High Schools.
The stories and articles of the Jan
uary number are each excellent of their
kind and are by such authors as Susan
Coolidge, Mrs. Burton Harrison, Mar
garet Sidney, Elbridge S. Brooks, Ern-
est Ingersoll, Kirk Munroe, etc.

A Stream of Words.

Everybody knows in general way
in the world, but few people realize the
fact until it is reduced to figures. A
speaker of average rapidity will use
about one hundred words minute, and
in conversation the rate is about the
same. Now suppose the average talker
talks four hours a day he will repeat
$4,000 words each day, equal to twelve
columns of the Globe or to forty-eight
pages of a book of ordinary size. In a
year he will have uttered words that
will fill 1880 pages, or thirty-five vol
umes of 500 pages each, and in thirty
years 1850 volumes will be filled with
the nothings that are said from moment
to moment.-St. Louis Globe.

Among the many slot-machines that

were noticeably worn by frequent use.

The brain Is as a treasure chest
Wherein the hard gold never fails;
The heart Is but messy nest
All full Of soft young nightingales.
My gold give thee wear at best
Upon thy hand. a chill, bright ring;
But let my bird lie In thy breast,
warm, love hungry, nesting thing.
A fair kings daughter once possessed
bird in whom she took delight;
And every thing bird loves best
She gave this favored one-but flight
1t was her Joy to smooth his wings,
To watch those eyes that waxed and waned;
To tender him choice offerings
And have him feed from her white hand
And every day she loved him more,
But when ut last she loved him most
She opened wide his prison door,
Content that he to her were lost.
To be q little child once more
And in it's dreamless cradle lie
To hear q soft voice DER and DER
Refraining by low baby bye
To be child, be innocence
OF all that hath mans heart beguiled
Yet know by some mysterious sense
How good it Is to be o child
Is 1t that as youths dreams retreat
And quench in gloom their phantom glitter,
As life becomes not all so sweet,
Death seems not either quite 50 bitters
