Argentina Ants.

A common way Of destroying the ants
in Argentina is by means of a small
metal cylindrical furnace half filed
with any kind of dry, infiammable rub
bish, and in the top pan suspended
containing flowers of sulphur When
lighted, lid is screwed down over
this, so that the smoke can only issue
from bent metal tube, which conducts
1t to the ant hole. A pair of bellows,
worked by a handle, is attached to the
lower part of the furnace, thus making
the fire burn and forcing the sulphurous
smoke along the ant passages. The
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
it will often be issuing thickly from
holes 200 or 800 yards distant. So you
may imagine the ants have somewhat
lively time of it--or, perhaps, rather, a
deadly one.
In spite, however, of waging war
against them they multiply SO rapidly
that 1t is only where the gardeners fight
them very energetically that they can
be kept down, and the amount of dam
age 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, the writer
once discovered deserted wooden hut,
lneautiously leaning against the struc-
ture, he was surprised to see the whole
of it collapse But on examination he
found the reason TO be that every Dor,
ton of the woodwork had been perfor-
ated and undermined by the ants, and
only required a very slight touch to
crumble into ruins. The inroads of the
ants had probably been the cause OF
abandoning the hut Temple Bar.

addition. The matter was referred to
the building committee. On motion of
Mr. Russell the report was accepted.
A petition from residents of the west

the vicinity Of second Street and Eighth

SptritwOOd Church Affairs.

Editor Alert: The item referring to the
coming of the Rev. McCracken as pas
tor of the Free Methodist church near
Spiritwood, is rather misleading. The
organization spoken of is six miles north
of Spiritwood, IN settlement where the
Inhabitants are diversified nationally
and spiritually and have been exclu-
slvely deprived of an English speaking
minister.
In Spiritwood there are two religious
organizations. Another religious soci-
ETY. cannot be tolerated by the influential
people of the place. Public expressed
sentiment is strongly in favor of the
continuance and maintenance Of the
Congregationalst and Methodist church.
Kindly correct the mistake, so as to
avoid misrepresentation. We, the inhabl-
tants Of Spiritwood, who are loyal mem
bers OF our churches, desire not to be
taken for roaring cataract and mere
ly passing, gushing wind. Our aim Is
satisfaction, loyalty and honor to our
church. ...

Tho Asylum Board Shows a
Large Reduction in Rum
ming Expenses.
The Board Fulfilling Its Prom

Public.

The following comparative statement
OF the expenses OF the asylum 10 made
public as an evidence that the board
were not talking through their hats"
when they alleged that large reduction In
the expenses of the institution ceuld be
made. The board gave their promises to
the public that this saving could be
made if they we're allowed to manage
the institution. Such figures convince
more than columns of mere assertion
not backed up by facts. 1t shows a
saving OF nearly 81 600 for the month of
March alone, over the corresponding
month in the two preceding years of
1894 and 1895 and it also is known that
the management of the hospital, and
care of patients have been in no way
impaired; but that already better sys-
tenn Of discipline prevails than hereto
fore, and that the hospital work is going
on in excellent shape.

polled for the morning hours showing

polled in the city. Up to p. NJ. there
were 214 votes cast in the second ward,
with only 6 more entitled to vote; 125 in
the third ward; 105 in the fourth ward,
