ANTS IN FLORIDA.
The Vast Damage Which These Enemies
OF thu Former Can DO.

Tho Vast Damage Which These Enemies
OF tn" Former Can DO.
There are more ants to the square
mile in Florida than in any other coun-
try in the world, says the Savennah
News. There are ants which will
measure more than half an inch in
length, end then there are ants so
small that they can hardly be seen to
move with the unaided eye. There are
red ants and black ants and trouble
some ants. But as bad as thcy are,
have never heard of them eating out
the seat Of n mans trousers, as n mis-
sionary, Rev. Mr.. Wilson, once told the
writer he saw the army ants do in
India while the man was sitting on the
earth for n few minutes beside him.
But the Florida ants will take out
the lettuce and other minute seeds
from the soil in which they are planted
and actually destroy the beds. They
will sack the life out of acres of young
cucumbcrs and melon plants, uproot
strawberry plants or cover the buds
with earth to such an extent as to kill
them. They will get into pie, pickle,
Isauce, strip, sugar; on meat, in bash;
will riddle cake or fill loaf of
bakers bread till it is worthless. All
lremedies failing, took to batting them
near their nests with slices of meat,
bones, apple and pear parings, and
when ! had from fifty to one hundred
thousand out would turn kettle of
boiling water on them. ! have killed

An Awkward situation.

A physician Of Ocosta. WASH, while
botanizing in the woods near that
place recently, stumbled across big
black bear, which got annoyed at his
presence and chased him. Tho rail
road was few yards away, and the
doctor took to the track and sprinted
along 1t few yards ahead of the
beast, until long trestle was reached,
when the bear halted and squatted
down to watch the doctor hop along
the ties. When he was third of the
way across freight train appeared
at the further end. Out on q high
trestle, with bear waiting for him at
one end and a freight train coming for
him from the other, the doctor felt
that the situation was embarrassing.
He dropped to q supporting beam,
hung from the end Of IL while the
train passed overhead, and then con-
tinued his way across the trcstle and
homo by another route.

ONE-LEGGED SENATORS.

Four Of Them Were Together at One
Time in Washington.
Say what they will, says Washing
ton letter, the associates of Senator
Berry, of Arkansas, cannot persuade
him to try a cork leg. At one time
there were four one-legged senator's.
Three of them half concealed the loss
with an artificial substitute. They
used to get together in the cloak-room
and tell each other how much more
comfortable they felt, but they never
convinced Senator Berry. He clings
to his crutches, notwithstanding they
have failed him more than once, and
sent him headforemost downstairs al
most to his death.
There are funny things about this
one-legged business. Henderson, OF
Iowa, the Dubuque veteran, man
ages them SO well that people form his
acquaintance and see him around for
weeks without learning that he is part
cork. Once in awhile the stump be-
comes sensitive, and Mr.. Henderson
leaves the artificial leg at home for q
few days to rest himself, while he hob
bles about the house of representatives
on crutches, to the amazement of those
who have not known him long. A SEN
ator who manages an artificial leg
without awkwardness Is Butler, OF
South Carolina. He carries q cane and
moves with some elaboration, but not
one person in one hundred passing him
on the street detects any stiffness in
his gait

FISHING WITH DOGS.
Unique Method Of Capturing Salmon Used
By the Alnus

Unique Method of Capturing Salmon Used
! By the Anus.
The savages of Saghalin island have
. unique method of fishing for salmon
trout with their dogs, description of
which is given in ''rrans-Siberian Saw
ages" The water around the island
went out in a canoe, says the bottom
was distinctly visible, while from
under the canoe the frightened salmon
trout were swimming seward Ia such
numbers IL seemed as II IL would be
difficult to drop n stone into the water
without striking one.
From the time we started | was
puzzled to guess what the Anus could
be taking thirty dogs with them for.
] was soon to find out. At certain
point all the men and dogs came to a
halt. Half the men and dogs then
moved farther along the waters edge
about two hundred yards.
At a concerted signal the dogs were
started from their respective points
and swan straight out seward In
single file in two columns. At wild,
sharp cry from all the Anus the right
column wheeled left and the left col
umn wheeled right until the head of
each column met. Then ut another
signal all of them swan in line toward
the shore, advancing more and more in
crescentic formation.
AS the dogs neared the shore in
creasing numbers of fish appeared in
the shallow water, frightened forward
by the splashing of the advancing col
umn Of dogs, which, as soon as their
feet touched bottom, pounced upon
the fishes as quick as a flash.
The animals promptly brought the
fish which they had seized to their
masters, who cut OFF their heads and
gave each dog the head which be-
longed to him as his share of the catch.
The dog who caught nothing got moth
ing.
believe this dog drill of the Anus
is entirely unique. 1t is all the more
remarkable, too, as the dogs, many Of
which have been captured from the
forest, are still half wild.

PLUCK OF AN OPERA SINGER.
How Rubini Once Broke His Collar Bone,
But Finished the Performance.

How Rubini Once Broke His Collar bone,
But Finished the Performance.
Fifty years ago European audiences
listened with rapt admiration to Ru-
bini, a tenor of whom it was said that,
though he himself could not act, he
made his voice act for him, says
writer in the Philadelphia Press. The
intensity of expression he gave to his
voice, the judicious use of the tremolo,
and the management of light and
shade produced thrilling effect. But
his best vocal feat consisted in taking
the bass of the upper stave without
preparation, thus retaining 1t for .
long time, and then letting 1t imper-
ceptibly die away. The listeners could
hardly believe their ears. The adven-
turous are always on the edge of dan
ger. On one occasion Rubini, after re-
peating this vocal feat, and being q
second time encored, found himself
unable to produce the expected note.
Determined not to fail, he gathered up
his vocal strength and made a supreme
effort. The note came with It's won't
ed power, brilliancy and duration, but
at the cost of broken collar bone. A
surgeon examined the singer and
found that the tension of the lungs
had been too powerful for the strength
of his collar bone. Two months rest
would DO required to reunite the claw
icle, and this the singer declared to be
impossible, as he had only finished sew
eral days of long engagement.
"Can sing at all with broken col
lar bone?" he asked.
Eyes; 1t will make no difference In
your voice." answered the surgeon.
"But you must avoid lifting heavy
weights, and any undue exertion-
above all, you must leave the Is fat
alone"
Rubini continued to sing with q
broken clavicle until the termination
of the engagement.

DR.. HOLMES AND HIS PUBLISHER.
The Poet Was Very Careful and Exact ~
to His Copy.

The Poet Was Very Careful and Exact ~
to His Copy.
When asked as to his business ao-
quaintancewith Oliver Wendell Holmes,
Henry o. Houghton said that 1t began
with the first publication Of the first
volume of The Atlantic Monthly, in the
initial number of which the "Autoorat
Of the Breakfast Table" was published
in November, 1867.
"His copy was always written on
common white letter paper in a clear
hand and most carefully prepared, with
very few interlineations, and these were
only put in after the greatest delibera-
tion. He used to bring his copy to the
office himself and would afterward
come and get the proofs, which he most
carefully and painstakingly corrected,
frequently making additional changes
and correction therein when line in
lold type did not exactly suit him.
''Our firm did not print The Atlantic
in those days. We only stereotyped the
plates, but nevertheless we were brought
in contact with the young poet frequent
ly. In fact, he was in the Office every
few days.
HE was very particular about his
copy, and SO careful was he as to detail
and the exactness of his facts before let
ting matter go to press that he caused
us very little trouble, and when any
thing was to blame he was far reader
to assume the responsibility than to GEN.
sure others.
"He was in every way one Of the
most charming men have ever known,
of very sanguine temperament, al
though occasionally sad and reminis-
cent.
He said to me not long ago that he
felt that he was living in another age
and generation, and that all the people
