Anita and sleep.

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 long series OF observa-
tions, which warrant such remarkable
conclusions. The published state
mcnts Of the results Of these observa-
tons excited considerable comment;
for II the assertion should prove true,
the ant would be the only exception
known In the animal world where sleep
at some time or other Is not absolutely
necessary. Later observations on the
point prove that the sensational natu-
ralists who made the announcement
were not in possession Of facts which
would justify such conclusion.-N.Y'

John Chinaman Was After Cooking ana
Came Near Being Cooked.
John Chinaman has penetrated even
to the heart Of Matabeleland. At least
there Is ono adventurous Chinaman
who reached there and who now owes
his life to his p'gtail and the quaint
personal peculiarities Of his race. He
was on his way to q certain mining
district to act rs cook, etc, to some
prospectors when the present disturb
ances began. Poor "Pigtaip' found
that to continue his journey or to re-
turn would DO rather risky, but de.
oided on the latter plan. Ho had
passed the remains Of many murdered
whites lying along the road, when he
was overtaltcn by some ten or twelve
Mata belle bloods on murder bent, and
armed In various ways. On reaching
him and finding that he was not q
"Beoongar," or white man, they con-
suited among themselves, and finally,
after circling around the celestial one
In a hesitating manner they drew
nearer, and, with respectful awe,
touched him, to make sure that he was
In reality flesh and blood. He was
certainly neither Cape half-breed,
Hottentot nor anything else they had
ever seen, SO, after an exchange OF
compliments, carried on in best Mata-
belle and Chinese respectively, they
withdrew, probably thinking he was q
powerful English switch doctor" who
might have annibilated them by some
mystic process.
Poor, frightened "Plgtail" was over
taken by n small party Of fugitives,
who, with the assistance Of an Indian
coolie, Mailing from Natal, where our
hero had also sojourned, extracted
from his quaking lips the particulars OF
his escape. They had themselves been
attacked by the same band OF Ma ta'
beles. However, q triumphant entry
into Bulawayo was finally accom-
plished.-St James Gazette.

The people Of this vicinity express
their sorrow for the death Of their
dear companion and fellow scholar,
Ethel NJ. Gray. Beautiful and affec-
tiOnate she won our hearts. No purer
lily ever adorned the valley; no fairer
rose ever shed fragrance on the plain
and no meeker violet ever bowed upon
the mountain, In purity, grace and
meeknesS she adorned the walks Of life
for a few years; and just as she at
tanned the acme Of virtue and use
fulness the Master called her to dwell
with Him that she might attain the
higher excellence. She was never alb
sent from her class in the Sunday
school. Her lessons were always pre-
pared. While health permitted she
regularly attended the stated worship
of God. Sweetness dropped from her
lips; purity controlled her thoughts
and peace dwelt in her heart. Her
most charming grace was meekness.
The blush Of innocence adorned
her cheeks; pride and hypocrisy found
no place in her associations and no
word Of unkindness fell from her
tongue. She leaves four brothers and
three sisters to mourn for her, but her
father, mother and one brother have
preceded her tothat happy land where
sorrow and parting never come.
With her the once lovely family has
become extinct on earth; but they
form a happy circle in heaven. While
we weep they rejoice. We will keep
the sod green upon her grave by
watering it with tears.
Ethel, thou vast mild and lovely,
Gentle as the summer breeze,
Pleasant as the air Of evening.
Where 1t floats among the trees.
Peacefuibe thy silent chamber,
Peaceful In the grave so low;
Thou no more wilt join our number,
Thou no more our songs shall know,
Dearest Ethel thou hast left u.s..
Here thy loss we deeply feel;
But It's God that hath bereft us,
He can all our sorrows heal.
Yet, again we hope to meet thee,
When the day Of life is fed;
Then in heaven with Joy to greet thee
Where no farewell tear is shed.
