Ants and Their Uses.

During IL months spent i'll the Aus
tralian colonies III the years 1870 /, l
had more opportunities than were pleas
ant of studying the habits Of ants.
These insects as is we'll known, are not
only nuisance, but an absolute pest III
hot countries They march i'll lnyriads
and destroy everything III their road.
In Justice to the ants, I am bound, how
ever, to admit that I have found them
useful il more ways than one. For in
stance, l bought all opossum skin rug
from native. l soon became painfully
aware of the fact that it literally
swarmed with feas and other vermin.
In vain did l exhaust my stock OF pep
per. Even turpentine seemed to have
no effect beyond increasing the reckless
activity of these irritating settlers.
At last, i'll despair, I threw my rug
down on an ant hill. IN less than half
an hour every flea and Objectionable
parasite was eaten, but the rug was full
of ants. therefore hung it on mimosa
bush, and as soon as the ants found they
were suspended they fastened to leave
the rug and descended by the bush as
best they could.
Again, I had killed snake i'll Tas-
mania and wished to clean and bleach
the skeleton, which intended to have
mounted as necklace. I left the body
near an ants nest. In few hours there
was not yestige of flesh on the bones.

sHERlDAN's FIRST RIDE.
\ john Gilpin Performance Which Showed

lJohn Gilpin Performance Which Showed
Young Pills Pluck.
The following story was told by the
Rev. J. r. Headley, historian and biog-
rapher of many of the heroes of the war,
in regard TO a buyhood experience of
General Sheridan:
At five years of age he was playing
near his home when some lads came
along and amused themselves with the
wide awake boy. A horse was feeding
in an adjacent lot
"Phil, would you like rider" they
aaid to him.
Eyes. Give me one. y
In few moments the boy was OH the
animals back. The sudden and uncere-
monious mounting of the young rider
startled the steed, and away he ran.
"Whoa! Whoa!' shouted the lads,
but in vain.
Over the fence the animal sprang,
and once Oh the highway it was John
Gilpin performance. Phil chung to the
name, while the sobered authors of the
race turned pale with apprehension Of
tragic end to it, expecting to see him
dashed to the earth and killed. But
c. of sight vanished both steed and
rider, and miles soon interviewed be-
tween the two parties.
Suddenly the horse turned into the
shed of a tavern, where its owner had
frequently stopped in his travels. Men
came out, and, recognizing the horse,
questioned the boy. One of the curious
company, after securing the foaming
animal, which had neither saddle nor
bride, inquired of the nnterrifed Phil:
"Who taught you to rider"
Nobody, answered the boy.
"Did no one teach you how to sit on
ii horse?' asked another.
ooh, yes. Bill Seymour told me to
hold OH with my knees, and did. y
"Wasn' you frightened:'

but the horse wouldn't 60. y
Amt You sore?"
Kinder, but I'll be better tomorrow
and then III ride back home. y
s'That boy" said the questioner,
"has pluck enough to be an Indian
hunter"
The owner of the nag turned up not
long afterward, in search of his proper
ty. He said that the animal was vi
cious and lad thrown more than one
experienced horseman.

The Art of Boiling an Egg.

Epicures are still discussing the
pope's poem OH the art Of catering prop
erly to ones appetite. His rule that
eggs should be either hard boiled or
nearly raw has occasioned some discus
sion among those who prefer their eggs
boiled over two minutes, and attention
is called to the fact that the pope's rule
is exactly in line with the teaching of
Brillat- Savarin and all the great cooks
that eggs should be boiled either not
more than minutes or not less than
20, for the reason that an egg boiled 2
minutes is digestible and so is an egg
boiled 20 minutes, but one boiled .
minutes is as leather to the digestive
organs. Boston Herald.

Another week of the great coal strike
is now entered, with the strikers claim
ing that the end is near and Victory all
but achieved, The turning point of the
struggle Is expected to come on Thurs
day, when mass meetings will occur
simultaneously all over the country,
These are to be addressed by labor lead
ers, and their purpose is to make an ex-
hibit of public sentiment in favor of the
strike. Interest on Thursday will GEN.
ter particularly In West Virginia, for
the United Mine Workers organization
is making arrangements for speeches IN
every town and hamlet In the mining
regions OF the state, More than from
all previous efforts are results expected
from the Miners Day" meetings In this
state. The claim is made that the re-
suit will be the practical tying up OF the
coal industry of the entire state.
1t is understood that the most elect
i've speakers in the labor ranks Will be
assigned West Virginia points on
Thursday, with the hope that the meet
lngs will result in inrOads among the
working miners At a meeting OF the
Ohio Valley Trades and Labor Assem-
bly, held Saturday evening, arrange
ments were begun for the Wheeling
demonstration, and an effort is now be-
ing made to have President w. d. Ma
hon, of the street car workers, here to
address the local meeting, He Is the
leader delegated by President Ratch-
ford, OF the miners. to have charge of
the campaign in this state,
At present the amount of coal going
west over the Baltimore Il Ohio and the
two local coal carrying roads, from
Fairmont. is smaller than during the
week ending last Thursday Before
Thursday the shipments west from
Bellalre on the Baltimore & Ohio aver
aged 200 ears daily, and shipments on
the two other roads averaged 10 cars
each. Since Thursday the average ship
ments have been about 100 cars daily on
the Baltimore & Ohio and 80 on each of
the two other roads The local strike
leaders, who have watched the coal
shipments closely. feel encouraged over
this showing and claim that 1t demon
strates the truth Of the claim made by
the strike leaders that their efforts In
the FairmOnt region are bearing the
fruit OF success. on the other hand, It
is said that the decrease is partly ac-
counted for through shipments east by
the Fairmont operators.
The situation In the Wheeling district
Is still uncertain. Since the refusal OF
the Boggs' Run miners to join the strike
the organizers have found 1t difficult to
keep the men at MoundHville. Glendale
and Elm Grove from returning 10 work.
In fact, all Of these ruines have been in
partial operation since. This week an
other desperate EFFORT Is TO be made to
bring out all the working miners in the
Wheeling district.
