ANTI HeMda in SurCery.

One of the most curious uses to which
insects are put was related at a recent
meeting in the Linnaeau Society of
London. 1t was stated that the Greek
bar ber-surgeons of the Levant employ
ed large species OF ant for the pur
pose Of holding together the edges of
an incised wound. The ant held with
pair of forceps, opens its mandibles
wide, and is brought near to the cut
being treated, SO that it can sieze the
two edges, which are held together for
the purpose. AS soon as the unfortun-
ate ant has obtained a firm grip of the
cut, its head is severed from its body
Mr.. lssigois of smyrna. who described
the operation to the Linnaean Society.
said that he had seen natives with six
or seven ants heads hold together
wounds in the course of healing. A
similar observation was made some
years ago in Brazil, which fact is in

view, rs showing the independent ex-
istence of the same custom in coun-
tries SO far apart us Brazil and Asia

TENNYSON'S TWO LETTERS,
he Could Not Decide About Accepting
the Laureateship

'"O Gu tcSu1p
Peel has not read a syllable of Tenny-
son. But Mines showed him Lock-
sley Hail. and Ulysses and the PEN
sion OF f200 was Immediately granted,
says Temple Bar. And now. on the
death of Wadsworth. another prime
minister has TO admit that he knows
nothing whatever about Tennyson.
Lord John Russell wrote to Rogers:
AS you would not wear the laurel
yourself | have mentioned to the queen
those whom thought most worthy of
the honor. Her majesty is inclined to
bestow it on Mr.. Tennyson, but l
should wish before the offer is made to
know something of his character, as
we'll as of his literary merits. | know
your opinion OF the last by your ad-
vice to Sir Robert Peel, but l should
be glad if you could let me know some
thing OF his character and position"
This is indeed quaint, but no doubt
Rogers was equal to the situation.
More than six months passed after
WordswOrth's death before the Office
was filled up, but the offe: came to
Tennyson at last. He has himself
given a curious account of the way in
which he received it. He told his
friend, Mr.. Knowles: THE night be-
fore l was asked to take the laureate
ship, which was offered 20 me through
Prince Albert's liking for my In
Memoriam,' dreamed that he came to
me and kissed me on the cheek. l
said in my dream: Very kind, but very
German. In the morning the letter
about the laureateship vas brought to
me and laid upon my bed. | thought
about 1t through the day. hut could not
make up my mind whether to
take 1t or refuse it, and at last
wrote two letters, one accept
ing and one declining, and threw
chem on the table and settled to decide
which l would send after my dinner
and bottle of port 1t is rather
curious that Tennyson in his first APP
pearance at court exactly followed
Wordsworth's precedent. He dressed
at Rogers and wore the old poets
court suit just as Wordsworth had done.
Il well remember" says Sir Henry
Taylor, "a dinner in St. James place,
when the question arose whether Samu-
els suit was spacious enough for AL
fred" But the laureate managed to
make it do. OF Tennyson merely as
laureate there is fortunately little to
say. He did not write much in his
official capacity. The ode on the
Death of the Duke Of Wellington" would
probably have been written even If
Tennyson had never had anything to
do with the lord chamberlain. 1t was
not because he was a laureate that
Tennyson was patriot. His other
pieces on royal weddings and so forth
are slight and unimpOrtant.

A Thrilling Tale Of Rescue Reported
from Everett.

n lurIItHS laI0 OF Rescue Reported
from Everett.
The Everett correspondent of the
Seattle Post-Intelligencer says the fol-
lowing story is vouched for by Capt.
Fairbairn of the steamer Florence
Henry: James Wilson started from
that steamer to shore but stuck in the
quicksand of the Snohomish river, with
water up to his armpits and the tide
coming in. All efforts to pull him out
proved fruitless and his companions
saw that in few minutes the water
would be over his head. Like an in
spiration," says the correspondent,
came the plan Of rescue. A small iron
pipe about four feet in length was
brought from the boat and placed in
Wilson mouth. He could use his arms
to steady it. Then oakum was used to
cover his mouth around the pipe, and
over the oakum was placed a covering
OF white lead, making it water tight.
The mans nostrils and ears were
plugged up in like manner with oakum
and white lead. 1t was found that he
could breathe freely through the pipe
and, thus equipped, Wilson relieved of
fear and confident of his release in a
short time calmly awaited the rising
of the tide, which finally covered his
head to the depth of six or eight inches
His companions stood by him faithful
ly in small boat and it was not more
than about three-quarters of an hour,
although it seemed an age. when the
waters had receded far enough to let
his head out of water and he could feel
that the crisis was passed. When the
tide had gone out sufficiently to I'M
cover the fiat, willing hands soon did
the work of shoveling the sand away
and amid general rejoicing Wilson was
taken safely aboard the steamer appar-
emily none the worse for his thrilling
adventure"
