Perhaps, however, as Solomon is
said to have been an adept in nat
ural history, he would have replied
that he was not responsible for the
mlsnomers of the future genera
tlons, The destructive termite is,
IN fact, not true ant, and has no
real connection at all with that
model of brisk yet patient industry.
Indeed they are generally put SO far
apart as to be classed in : different
orders, but an many of their habits
the termites resemble the true ants.
Some species build conelike mounds,
raising them to a height of or
feet and constructing in the hard
mud an elaborate system of cham
bers and galleries. Others burtow
into wood. These are the terror of
the householder. Posts and beams
are riddled by them; chairs and ia
bles are converted into a hollow
mockery, for the creatures work
away at the interior, leaving the
outside undisturbed.
The tcrmite is not very particular
as to what it attacks. Though soft
bodied creature, its jaws seem to be
fairly hard. Not only furniture,
but also books, papers, clothing,
cord - almost anything about a
house except the bricks and the NOR
tar, the states and the glass-are
food for its ravenous nav. The cop
per in the French cable, of course,
was too much for it-although Pro
lessor Bouvier stated that leaden
bullets sent to the Crimea during
the war were perforated by some
lnsects-but the wire became worth
less when it's insulation was destroy
ed. The leaden pipe, however, pre-
scented no difficulty. Probably it
was but roughly laid, being only
meant for general purposes of pro-
lection.

ago, 1 estimated that the value of
the corks thrown away in England
in year amounted to e75, 600.
"How do get the old corks2 Oh,
that is an easy matter. When
started in business, l used to go
round to the public houses and ho-
tells and gather them myself. In
those days potboys and WATERS
were not up to the dodge, and
generally used to get the old corks
for nothing. A little later on, when
l found had hit on paying thing,
l took this place and hired couple
of men to collect corks for me. Now
/ have six men always out gather
ing them, and each man has a list of
hotels where he must call every
week. We pay A to pence a gross
for corks. Sometimes my men will
bring in one day four hundred
weight of corks between them. This
is no small amount, as there are
from $50 to 100 corks in a pound.

are packed in cork dust. Well, two

this dust. They visit Covent Garden

Not Afraid of a Mouse.

Young and pretty Miss Lille Cosgrove
entered the post Office at Grand Bend,
Pa, few days ago with several young
ladies, and, clasping one of her legs at
a point above the knee, looked fxedly
straight before her. Girls" she whis-
pered to her companions, when those
men go out want to tell you some
thing" The men soon departed, and she
released her grasp upon her skirts,
when a dead mouse fell upon thefoor.
She felt the intruder cavorting about
her, but she never screamed scream or
tried to mount the table or the letter
boxes. She just gripped him, stood
quiet and squeezed the life out of that
rodents body.

An Gle Adirondack Hunters Brave
battle for Life.
Charley Adams, of Woodruff Lake, y.
Y, one of the best-known guides in the
great Adirondack region, had battle
with pack Of wolves recently. As the
result of his encounter with the fero-
cious animals Adams is confined to his
lodge on the bank of the lake. It's not
likely that he will be out for some days,
as he is badly used up.
Adams has been a guide and trapper
in the North Woods for many years, but
never before did he actually encounter
any savage wolves. Along towards
noen the other week Adams took his
gun down from its rack in the lodge
and sailed forth in search of game.
Adams had heard that several wolves
had been sEulking about a lumber

camp near by, but he had no idea that
there were many of the animals in that
section of the woods. Adams Rugged
| the frozen shores of the lake for more
| than q mile. He was about to push up
the mountain side when his ears heard
the painting of deer hard pressed by
o pack of wolves.
The deer suddenly burst into view
and shot out on the ice with all the
desperate speed it's worn frame could
command. In its wake were a dozen
wolves. Before the deer had travelled
more than ten yards on the ice it
slipped and fell and was soon torn to
pieces.
Adams fired and killed one of the
wolves. Then he did a very indiscreet
thing: He pushed forward to the pack,
firing twice as he struggled through the
snow on the frozen surface of the lake.
As soon as he came in sight the wolves
made a concerted dash for him. Adams
for the first time realized his peril. He
fired twice in rapid succession on the
oncoming animals. Then he dubbed
his rifle.
It was only by the most desperate
fighting that he was able to keep them
from doing him serious injury. Find
ing his rife using up his energy in his
attempts to employ it effectively, he
threw it aside, and, drawing his hunt
ing knife, fought with the fury of a
man who knows his life is at stake.
He stabbed and slashed the snarling,
barking, biting wolves repeatedly. Few
did he cut badly enough to incapacitate
for fighting. Finding his strength
failing, Adams began to call loudly for
help. Fortunately for him some lum-
bermen who were taking a short cut
through the woods to the camp heard
his cries.
They rushed to his assistance and
drove off the enraged wolves. Adams,
bleeding from a score of long, ugly
scratches and several ugly bites, was
carried to his lodge. One of the log
gers, who knew bit about medicine,
dressed his wounds and made him COM
Portable. Adams says that in all the
years he has tramped about the Adiron-
dacks he never had an adventure to
equal his experience with the wolves.

SOME NEW GAMES.
They Are Not Less Amusing Because
They Are Instructive.


Only bright youngsters can success
fully play games like the two which
are described below, but when such
children take part in them, they are
not only interesting but also exceed
ingly instructive and stimulating.
The leader of the game prepares as
many paper caps as there are children
to join in the game. Across the front
of each cap the name of an author or
a book is written in large print letters.
The caps are then placed on the heads
of the children-not by themselves, but
by the leader-in such a way that no
one sees the name on his own cap. The
game is then a game of guess-that is,
each player is kept busy trying to
guess the name on his own cap, the
only clew being afforded by the ques-
tions asked of him by the other play
ers.
One bright lad was much puzzled a
few moments by such questions as
these:
"How is the word 'jugular' spelled?''
How would you divide the word
singer please?"
HAS real one or two syllables?"
None of these questions gave the lad
any light, but the next revealed the
name on his cap:
please give me the definition of
pachydermatous,' and tell me whether
1 pronounce it correctly"
'Pshaw," declared the boy. 81 must
be the dictionary"
And so he was. Books" is the best
name for the form of the game just in
Dictated, but if the queries were like
those which follow, Author Questions"
would be better title:
what was it Bill Sykes kept seeing
after 'Nancy's' murder?"
"Can you tell me why Nicholas Mic
Eleby' whipped old Squeers%
why was Mr.. Dorrit' thrown into
PRISON."
Anyone who has read the stories
written by the Master of Gad's Hill
will know his own cap to be labeled

Got n Check by Flood.

A unique freak of the Kentucky flood
came to light at Frankfort, Ky. A box
containing some valuable papers was
found floating in the river. Among the
papers was letter addressed to Judge
w. S. Pryor, of that city, from a Bell
county man, containing a check for
500 for legal services. The letter was
turned over to Judge Pryor, who placed
the check to his credit in the bank. The
box had been washed out of the Office
of the county clerk at Pineville, which
was recently inundated by high water,
and had foated over 300 miles.

Yet all the lives that are lost each year BY
violence and accident are but an insignif-
cant fraction to the untold thousands that
are slain by the grim destroyer, consump-
ton. 1t is the most insidious and the dead
liest of all known diseases 1t knows Meth
er rank nor wealth. It attacks people in all
the walks of life. 1t makes no distinctions
1t has for centuries been considered incur
able. 1t is not.
An almost unfailing cure for consumption
is found in Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis
covery. 1t acts directly upon the lungs and
also corrects the aggravating cause of the
disease. 1t corrects all disorders of the di-
gestion, invigorates the liver and makes the
assimilation of the food perfect, thus nour-
ishing and Strengthening the system for its
battle with its relentless foe. 1t fills the ar
teries with the rich, pure blood of health.
1t builds new, healthy tissue in the lungs
and drives out all impurities and disease
germs. 1t cures 90 per cent. of all cases of
consumption. Thousands have testified to
their cures. All druggists sell it.

u-<T
Charles Dickens, if he is queried after
this fashion.
The game of Initials" requires q
nimbler wit. 1t also requires pretty ac-
curate general knowledge of persons:
who are uppermost. The point is, when
the name of some living celebrity is
mentioned, TO characterize the celebrity
in two or three words beginning with
the letters which make the celebrity's
initials, as, for instance:
Chauneey NJ. Depew-Celebrated Mer-
ry Diner.
Ulysses S. Grant-Uncle Sans Gen.
cral.
Harriet Beecher Stowe-Helped Black
Slaves.
Fridjof NanSen-Fleeting Northward
Louise NJ. Alcott-Lovely, Motherly
Authoress.
R. E. Peary-Racing Ever Poleward,
Thomas w. Carlyle-Terrifying, Wit
ty, Critical.
Not all these examples are beyond
criticism, but as they are reported di-
rectly from gathering of young folks,
held not long ago, they show pretty
eonclusively that the game has an edu-
cational value.
Played the reverse way, it would re-
quire even better knowledge of promi-
nent personages and their traits-thus:
Thoroughly Able lectrician-Thom-
as Alva Edison
Character Observation-Disclosures Dick
ems.
Ever Excellent. Songstress-Emma
Eames Story.
In the case of popular authors there
may be variations; "Hiawatha's Won
drous Lovesong," for instance, was de
clared On excellent three-word key to
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow" at q
