Straw Hats Of Wood.

A Massachusetts inventor has pct
epted machine which issupplied with
fine planning teeth. A log of wood
cut square is fed to it, and when the
log passes through it it has furnished
g hundred strips of wood much resem-
bling excelsior. Their length, OF
course, is that of the log. 1t IS
claimed that these, when moistened,
can be woven much more readily than
straw and make as durable hat.
The inventor says it is twice IS
light as straw, and that, because OF as
easier manipulation and cheaper cost,
it will supersede the straw no" used
for the construction of headgeas.
Even women's Leghorn hats and tie
finest Panamas may become posslnfe
for those who can't afford them NOW.

ANTS AND THEIR WAYS.

A man who knows all about ants
saws that no one has ever seen quar-"
rel between any two of them that lived
in the same nest. If a great many
children were put together in one big;
house, do you think that could be said
of them? Some of the ants guard the
home, some feed the babies, some
make roads and new rooms, While
others 80 out to get food. Each one
seems to do its little duty without fuss
or fretting.
Once an ant found big fly that
was dead. The ant pulled and pulled
at it, but could not carry it of. After
twenty minutes of hard work, 1t wens
to the nest, and came back with twelve
other ants to help it. How did 1t Let
them know about the fly?
There are big ants and little ants,
white, black, and red ants-a tnousana
kinds in all One kind has servants
TO wait on them and feed them. They
have become so lazy that they had
rather die than take the trouble to
feed themselves. Other ants keep
COWS! You have often seen these
COWS, but you did not know they were
COWS, because they have no horns and
no long tail They are the little green
bugs that spoil our rose-bushes IN the
summer, The ants are very fond OF
their milk, which is what We call
honey-dew. Examiner.

MY BIRTHDAY.

For bygone years do not grieve,
Nor do 1 wish them back again.
The past, it's tolls and tears, l leave
And live anew for God and men.
Some lessons of the past I've learned.
And now the future explore.
A larger, truer life discerned
Is dawning on me more and more.
November snow is falling fast
On dying fields and fading flowers.
Thus nature hides the joys now past
And leads me to her thoughtful hours.
She wins me to a nobler life,
A life with fuller, richer joy,
a peace that stills all inner strife,
A happiness without alloy.
l would not read the future years,
But live and work and love and trust;
When sorrows come, look up through
tears,
For this know, that God is just.
