"You have no idea," said a young &C.

mild weather. You know that on the

not include fre. The extra charge for
that is high, and an awful tax on q small
salary, 80 we girls are up to all sorts of
schemes to save on that item. Sometimes
We double up; 60 two in q room and 60
halves for heat. Sometimes We try to do
without fire and catch fearful colds. I
have often sat In the warm hotel parlor
nearly all day, and as soon az It got dark
gone to my room and lighted all the gas
burners and took the chill of that way.
Often I have, on my way home from
the theater, bought bundle of kindling
wood and had 1t nicely wrapped, and
made q nice blaze to eat my little sup.

time 1t needs mending, for he Is seldom
allowed to leave q scuttle of coal in any
body's room. If 1t was left, why one
could abstract some and save II to start

days, only being charged for the one or

THE AZORES.

An Interesting Lecture by mr.. Henry
Trowbridge Allen at the United
Church Chapel.
A very interesting lecture was given last
evening at the United church chapel by
Henry Trowbridge Allen on the "Azore
Islands" before cultivated audience of
200 people. He illustrated his lecture
with sixty four stereopticon views of the
nine Islands, in which were included San
Miguel, Furnas and Settle Cidades, which
are the principal Islands.
At Settle Cidsdes the town is situated in
the crater Of an old volcano 2.000 feet
above the sea level. On the latter island
there are two lakes, Lagoa Azul and Lagos
Granlis, one of which ia deep blue and the
other deep green. The tide of these lakes
rises and falls with the sea, notwithstand-
ing their great distance above the sea level.
These islands are dependencies of Portugal,
and have q large trade with England and
Portugal.
Mr.. Allen visited the islands for about
three months, going and returning by the
baIque "Sarah." The lecture was much
enjoyed by all present. 1t is Mr.. Aliens
intention to give the lecture several times.

From the Savannah Mornipg News1
There are more ants to the square mile
in Florida than In any other country in
the world. There are ants which will
measure more than half an inch In length,
and then there are ants 80 small that they
can scarcely be seen to move with tho un-
aided eye. There are red ants and black
ants and troublesome ants. But as bad %
they are, have never heard of them eat
Ing out the seat of q mans trousers, as
missionary, the Rev. Mr.. Wilson, once told
the writer he saw the army ants do in In
dis while the man was sitting on the earth
for q few minutes beside him.
But the Florida ants viii take out tie
lettuce and other minute seeds from the
soil in which they are planted and actual.
ly destroy the bed. They will suck the
life out OF acres of young cucumbers 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, sauce, syrup, sugar. on meat,
In hash, will riddle cake, or fill q loaf of
bakers bread till 1t is worthless.
All remedies falling, took to batting
them near their nests with slices of meat,
bones, apples and pear parings, and when
I had from fifty to one hundred thousand

them. have killed during the last week
over a million in the space of Q quarter
acre lot, and I have almost whipped them
out. had to do this t. secure any let
tucs plants. and many observant farmers
complain of seedsmen when they should
attribute their troubles to insects.
It is very curious and instructive to see
how promptly the ants which eecape the
scalding go to work taking out the dead,
and, after pulling them out side FIRST, then
60 to excavatipg sgsin and rebuilding their
cells and runwsys. This being done very
quickly, the next work on hand is the lay
ing in of supply of food, by hauling the
dead bodies of the hot-water victims into
their storehouses.
You may see . small black ant hauling
and Juggling at the CARCASS of Q red ant
twenty times its own weight, and he al
ways succeeds In the end in hauling 1t into
the warehouse of the colony. Next you
may see q sort of ambulance corps search
ing for the disabled. These are taken to
the underground house, where the sur
gsons and nurses are in waiting. Then,
too, you may see the time keepers and
bosses directing this one or turning an
other back on some errand or to some 9TH
or duty.
There is not moments delay, no halt
ing feet, no idle hands, but all move o. 1t

the only hour loft in which to redeem Q
misspent life. For lessons In industry and
