Ants do SleeD.

Some years ago the leading natural
lists startled the world with the intelli-
gence that the common ant had never
been known to sleep. They claimed to
have made u long series of observa-
tiOns, which warranted such remark
able conclusions. The published state.
ments of the results of these observa-
tiOns excited considerable comment; !;
for, II the assertion should prove true,
the ant would he the only exception
known In the animal world. where
sleep at some time or other Is not an
absolute necessity. Later observa tions
on this point prove that the sensation
nj naturalists who made the announce
ment were not In possession of facts
which would justify such Il conclu-
sion.

family Of pickaninnies. Mr.. Newport
ana his family are brought into public

Mrs. Newport not long ago gave birth
to quadruplets. This fact In itself

born. They We're christencd James A..

Two weeks ago there was another
birth, this time of four little New.

DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME
In Writing Letters to the President
for He Won't See Them.

In Visiting Letters to the President,
for He Won't See Them.
During the first six months of the
new administration an average Of ], 500
letters per day will be delivered at the
White House. From the necessity Of
examining this immense mass of cor
respondence Major Mckinley will he
almOst wholly relieved by his Office
stan. His private secretary will go
over the letters and take out those
which. judging from glance at the on.
velopes, seem to be Of importance; the
balance. comprising the bulk Of them,
he will send to the executive clerk.
Those selected he will read, rcserving
n few for the Presidents eye. The
executive clerk will perrise the other
letters. debating n courteous reply to
each one. Among them will be found
not few communications from Obvl.
Ous lunatlcs, and these will bc commit.
ted quietly to the waste basket. An
exception Ia made In the case of any
misslve conveying serious threats
against the President; such q letter Is
p"S o'' wv So-Nuucu CIuuh uN, uHus
II considered sufficiently notable. u
word on the subject may he transmit
ted to the secret service.
Tens of thousands OF people who
will sit down ana write to Major Me-
iinlcy soon after his inauguration
would save themselves trouble II they
could realize the fact that their letters
have no chance whatever OF reaching
the President. 1t Is OF no use to write
personal ana "private" on the en-
vclopes; they will meet the same fate.
In any event. II they contain applica-
tions for office they will be sent to the
departments under which the places
demanded belong. There they will he
iiled away so carefully that nothing
more will ever be heard OF them.
Mrs. Mckinley will likewise be the In.
tended recipient OF multitudinOus
scrawls on every imaginable topic.
Women will appeal TO her for SYM
pathy In their various distresses, ana
Occa slOnally she will be called upon to
adjust a lovers quarrel. But-fortu-
nately for her. inasmuch rs she Is an
invalid she will know nothing about
these things. The letters mailed to her
will go through the same mill. cOur-

COSTLY BEASTS.
The Price Of Elcpiiants, Girnffcs,
Lions, Camcis, Etc.

Tnc trbcC OF ElCpnOntNs Otrnuese
Lions, Camcis, Etc.
The most costly Of wild animals held
In captivity IL the elephant. A fine
African elephant costs from $4,000 to
$1,000. A fine Indian elephant costs
about 5000.
Giraffcs cost about the same as the
elephants. about $4,000 or $1,000. but
that quotation II only nominal; 1t
would he difficult to get a giinfYe at
any price. This IL due partly to their
increasing scarcity and partly to the
difficulty Of obtaining them due to the
internal wars Of the natives In the
giraffe country. Giraffes very rarely
breed In captivity.
A fine hippopotamus would probably
cost about $1,000.
4 good African lion, with u full and
perfect name, would cost from $1,000
to 1900; u fine llOness $500 or 5000.
Good Bengal tigers cost about the
same. Camels usually cost from 800
to $500 apiece.
Many wild animals breed In captivity.
ana the supply of wild animals IL
made up to some extent from that
source. In New YOrk's mcnagcrle In
Central Park. for example, a large num-
ber of wild animals have been born,
some Of them of rare kinds and great
value. The same Il true, In greater or
less degree, Of menageries ana OF ZOO
logical gardens In various parts of the
world. 1t Is customary to sell or eX-
change the surplus animals so born.
Wild animals In captivity may final
ly cease to breed. Wild animals born
In captivity are not SO likely to be as
fine specimens rs those born In Il wild
state. and In succeeding generations
they degenerate and become more sus.
ceptible to disease. This stock IL i'm
proved by adding to 1t from time to
time wild animals from their native
homes.
