White Ants in Central Australia.

A traveller in central Australia has
discovered that the surface of the
country has been greatly changed by
what may appear at first thought a
ridiculous agency-the white ants.
On plain and in thicl1ets their nests are
so numerous that it is difficult to drive
among them. The clay with which the
nests are built is, when cementeil with
resinous matter, as hard as brick, and
when the nests fall to pieces they
form clay flats, almost impervious to
water and not easily cut up by traffic.

The Eeggacs Of I'aris,

A clever Frenchman has just been
taking the statistics Of the charities of
Paris, which are immense in volume.
and he finds that three-fourths OF the
colossal sum which they represent is
absorbed by professional beggars. He
gives q very amusing account Of the de-
ices which they adopt for getting this
enormous sum and for living in idleness
upon it, and his conclusion is that the
whole system of almsgiving must be
reformed. If something is not done
soon he thinks that the deserving poor
will be entirely crowded out by the
fal1irs. There are well-known mendi-
cants IN Paris who have piled their
trade until they have become rich and
who are yet undisturEed by the police.

IA cork leg is ncsend of BORE" said
the man who ]imped to a Washington
Post writer. "Just think of it. l was
at a dinner party the other night, and
it was my happy lot to have most
charming damsel fall to my share at
the feast We conversed most pleas
antly through the oysters and the soup,
but when the fish came on she became
silent and seemed unaccountably en-
barrassed. To draw her from this
mood redoubled my efforts to please,
but in response she only flushed and
looked angry. Finally, interrupting
me in the midst of a little mot which
had composed carefully while dress
ing for the dinner, she said Indignantly,
though soto voce: Sir, will thank
you to stop squeezing my foot!' Imag-
inc my embarrassment. had been
treading upon her toes with my cork
foot-of course without knowing it.
Could anything have been more inno-
cent? Obviously she was not aware
that had cork leg. It is an annoy
ing thing to have to explain to a young
lady on an occasion of social festivity.
Nevertheless was forced to do SO. She
accepted the apology and then proceed
ed to injure my feelings by giggling. I
was much gratified when, being over
taken by a convulsive and Unsurpassed
giggle while taking swallow of water,
she choked so dreadfully as to excite
the sympathetic attention OF every body
present. j could not help feeling sorry
that it wasn't 9 bone. s

The expense, Of course, varies with the
locality. For instance, in one of these
hotels, located on Copley square, the
finest part of the city, lady has a suite
of two rooms and bath, with private
hall and two very large closets for
trunks, etc, Of which the rent is five
hundred dollars E. year.
Having her own books, pictures, brio

desk, she required only furniture for
the bedroom and rug, sofa and chairs
for the little salon. Window draperies
and portiers were got up out Of the
pretty and inexpensive "scrim at
twenty-five cents q yard and the entire
cost Of furnishing was within one hun
dred dollars. The hotel had a dining
room on the European plan, and she
also had gas stove, on which it was
easy to make tea or coffee in the morn
ing, and with cream. rolls and fruit the
dainty breakfast is very easily ar
ranged. Her rooms are tasteful and
charming, and the entire cost of living
does not exceed eighteen dollars
week, while such suite in hotel on
the American plan would not be less
than fifty dollars a week.

Indian Artists.

All our North American Indians paint,
and the patterns vary with the individ-
ual, with the family and with the occa-
sion. From notes made upon Sacs and
Foxes painted for the dance we will
give but one or two cases. One mans
face was painted black, except around
the eyes and mouth, which were scarlet.
Upon his forehead was a neat check
cred pattern Of yellow on the black
background. Another face was divided
by a vertical line in two parts. one of
which was bright yellow, the other an
equally bright green.

whenever the desk was opened.
