Dining Ahead of Time.

The Marquise dc Fontenoy tells this
story OF Sir William Harcourt: 1t seems
that on Monday night during very
busy London season, after consulting
his list Of engagements. he went out to
dinner. He fancied he observed on
making mis- entrance to the drawing
room that his host and hostess looked
at him with surprise, and even embar-
rassment. But he did not think any
ed himself very much. Tuesday he kept
ano4her dinner engagement, which was
entered in his book. Again he noticed
an almost frightened look passing be-
tween his host and hostess when his
name was announced. Again the en-
barrassment proved transitory, and Sir
William had another thoroughly enjoy
able evening The same thing took
place on Wednesday and Thursday
nights. But on Friday, while keeping
the last Of the engagements Of the week,
which were marked down in his book,
announce him was an old acquaintance
and had formerly been in his service
The man started back and gazed at him
open mouthed. What's the matter.

you expect me to dinner" eyes, Sir
William" explained the butler. but
1t wasn't tonight. 1t was for Friday of
next week" Investigation of tho en-
gagemcnt book explained the mystery.
Each page noted weeks engagements.
Sir William, i'll his haste, had turned
over two pages and had thus been keep

Argentina Ants.

A common way of destroying the ants
in Argentina is by means of a small
metal cylindrical furnace half filled
with any kind Of dry, infiammable rub
bish, and in tho top u pan suspended
containing flowers of sulphur, When
lighted, lid is screwed down over
this, so that the smoke can only issue
from d bent metal tube, which conducts
it to the ant hole. A pair Of bellows,
worked by handle, is attached to the
lower part Of the furnace, thus making
the fire burn and forcing the sulphurous
smoke along the ant passages. Tbs
whole apparatus is suspended on wheels
and can thereby be conveniently moved
from part to part of the quinta. With
this instrument such volumes of suffo-
eating smoke can soon be produced that
1t will often be issuing thickly from
holes 200 or 800 yards distant. so you
may imagine the ants have a somewhat
lively time Of it--or, perhaps, rather, a
deadly ono.
In spite, however, Of waging war
against them they multiply SO rapidly
that it Is only where the gardeners fight
them very energetically that they can
be kept down, and tho amount Of dam
ago they do is often appalling. When
up country, on the border Of the Grand
Chaco, where, Of course. these insects
work their own sweet will, tho writer
Dnco discovered deserted wooden hut.
Inoautiously leaning against the struo-
ture. no was surprised to see tho whole
Of 1t collapse. But on examination he
found the reason to be that every por-
ton Of tho woodwork had been perfor-
ated and undermined by the ants, and
only required u very slight touch to
crumble into ruins. Tho inroads OF the
ants had probably been the cause Of
abandoning the hut. Temple Bar.
