81. Louis 10 Colorado via Wichita.

Commencing Sunday, July $780, the
Missouri Pacific railway will run through
sleeping cars from St Louis via Pleasant
Hill, Rich Hill, Fort Scott and Wichita to
Geneseo and from thence to Pueblo. Colo
RADIO Springs and Denver. This change
was made on account o. a great many peo-
pie from the east going to Colorado being
DESTROYS of going via Wichita. The train
will stop here two hours, giving all II
chance TO view the Peerless Princess" and
still land passengers in Colorado same
time as if they had gone via Kansas City
1t also gives the citizens of Wichita sleep
ing car service from here TO Colorado Re
turning, it gives us through sleeping ca,
service Wichita tOSt. Louis, and gives the
Colorado people a chance to go east via
Wichita. This change will undoubtedly
be appreciated by the travelling public, and
especially by the citizens of Wichita. If
you are going east or west go via the pop
MAR new through route. Through chair
and sleeping car service. New route Just
completed between Fort Scott and Rich
Hill goes through the finest mineral and
agricultural country in the west. Don't
forget the new short line to st. Louis or
Colorado.

When cor templating trip of any kind.
the first thought that most naturally sug-
gests itself is, How can l derive the
most comfort out of this trip" To this
answer is, take the Missouri Pacific rail-
way.
The next question to solve Is, Whore
shall go to get correct information rela-
tive to this trip" The answer is at the
Missouri Pacific ticket office, at 40 N
Main street Last, but not least, is to get
my ticket just as l want it, and baggage

car reservations through to my destinis-
tion. All these accommodations you will

Driver Ants.

There are certain ants that show won
derful intelligence, and the 'driver ants"
not only build boats, but launch them,
too, only these boats are formed of their
own bodies. They are called drivers"
because of their ferocity. Nothing can
stand before the attacks of these little
creatures. Large pythons have been
killed by them in a single night, while
chickens, lizards and other animals in
western Africa flee from them in terror
To protect themselves from the heat
they erect arches, under which numer-
GUS armies of them pass in safety. Some
times the arch is made of grass and
earth gummed together by some secre-
ton, and again it is formed by the
bodies of the larger ants, which hold
themselves together by their strong nip
pers, while the workers pass under them.
At certain times of the year freshets
overflow the country inhabited by the
drivers" and it is then that these ants
go to sea. The rain comes suddenly,
and the walls of their houses are broken
in by the food, but instead of coming to
the surface in scattered hundreds and
being swept off to destruction, out of the
ruins rises black ball that rides safely
on the water and drifts away. At the
first warning of danger the little crea-
lures run together and form a solid bali
of ants, the weaker in the center. Often
this ball is larger than common base.
ball. and in this way they float about
until they lodge against some tree, upon
the branches of which they are soon safe
and sound.-St. Nicholas.

To Keep Apples or Pears.

To keep apples, select the best fruit
and wipe perfectly dry with fine cloth;
then take jar of suitable size, the in
side of which is thoroughly coated with
cement, and having placed layer of
fine sand, perfectly dry, at the bottom,
place thereon layer of the fruit pears
may be kept in this way also), being
careful to not allow of the fruit touch
ing; add another layer of sand, then
fruit, and so on until the jar is filed.
Over the upper layer of fruit spread a
thick strata of sand, and press this
lightly down with the hands. In this
manner choice fruit may be kept for
almost any length of time, if the jar be
placed in situation free from moisture.
Another way is to take fine sawdust
preferably that made by circular saw
from well seasoned hard wood and place
thick layer of this on the bottom OF a
barrel. Then place layer of apples,
not close together nor near the slaves OF
tlA barrel. Put the sawdust literally
over and around, and proceed until a
bushel and half or less are packed in
each barrel. Keep in cool, dry place.

Makinc wood IncombustibIe,


The weight of testimony, thus far, in
regard to the various methods proposed
for rendering wood incombustible, or
nonalterable by heat, appears to be
against the claim that building encum-
bered with inhammable substances can
pass through such test uninjured. 1t
is known that the methods resorted to
for preserving wood against fire are prin-
cipally two, viz, the injections of saline
solutions and the application of paint
or coating. The former has been found
practically ineffective, and has even been
pronounced by some as of dangerous
tendency in the case of wood of large
dimensions, though the treatment may
be applicable to pieces of wood of small
size.
1t is remarked that of all the various
substances which have been brought for
ward for this purpose, the concentrated
solution of phosphate of ammonia has
proved the most valuable, the use of this
substance, in fact, Notwithstanding its
high cost, possessing such peculiar ad-
vantages as to have recommended its
employment in all cases where the mat
ter of expense is not important.
In the majority of cases coating with
brush is the really practical solution OF
this question, and, according to Profes-
sors Bondin and Denny, of Ghent, the
substance most suitable for use in this
manner is the cyanide of potassium and
asbestos paint.-New York Sun.

And we've no bearers. Come, your arm Is
"And he no weight. Tis strange the hate they
bear
To the house yonder; only three weeks there,
And told them he should die, if once inside

Here comes the squire; he'll earn sixpence
too,
Just for the fun of throwing it to you.
Yon slouching9 tramp shall walk his fellow
Shoulder to shoulder, through the churchyard

The small, pale green is shooting to the sky.
And in and out the churchs ivy fly
The building birds, and on the gravestones

Sweet chance! an old man buried in the springl
And he pauper; old and weak and sad;
Yet welcome here. What matter that he had
No black draped train to follow in the rear;
Odd passers shouldering the common bieri
So poor and sad; forsaken and forgot:
Not one of all those children he begot
To see him to his parish grave, and tell
He was their father, and they loved him well.
"What, back already Well, our turns to be!
He says the same for rich and poor, see
The parson spoke up we'll; heard it all,
Resting the horses by the churchyard wall"
Death and parish grave-these were his rights
Sleep fast, old man! On balmy summer nights
The sweet-lipped flowers and moonbeams as

Shall weave thy story on the nameless grass.

EVENTIDE.
At eventide. at ezsntida.

At eventide, at eventide,
The day drops anchor in the west,
The far horizon, crimson dyed,
Bears not cloud upon its breast.
With silvery chime of tinkling bells
The cows come slowly vending home,
Knee deep they wade, through grassy dells,
Their dripping dewlaps fecked with foam
At eventide, at eventide,
The young moon shows his silver horn,
The noiseless bat comes forth to glide
Above the fields of rustling corn.
The owl bestirs him from his sleep,
And fits abroad with muffied wing,
1 While from the vale where shadows creep
The whippoorwills soft numbers ring.
At eventide, at eventide,
The glittering firefies, one by one,
Swing tiny lanterns far and wide,
To tell the beauteous day is done.
The daisy shuts her starry eye,
The tuneful woodbird seeks his nest,
While evening croons her lullaby,
And rocks the weary world to rest.
Helen Whitney Clark in Good Housekeeping
