WAYS OF THE ANT.
Members OF His Tribe Made to Do Duty
as Honey Pots.

Members Of His Tribe Made to Do DUTY
as Honey Pots.
1t has long been recognized that the
ant is very Intelligent insect and
leads a very complicated social life.
There are classes among them-pluto-
Gratis, laborers and criminals.
The author Of recent work on en-
tomology notes the curious habit of
Ole species of ant of turning some
Of their fellows into animated honey
pots"
Instead of placing honey in comb,
as the bees do, the ants select a GER
tain number of workers and disgorge
The honey obtained from the Euealypti
ION which it is deposited by coccidae
and other insects) into the threats of
their victims. The process, being con-
tinually repeated, causes the stonachs
of these workers to be distended to an
enormous size.
This extraordinary habit was first
discovered in the case of certain ants
in Mexico, and subsequently shown to
prevail in Colorado. It has been found
to exist in Australia also, and Mr.. Frog
CART describes and figures three ants
of the genus camponotus that pursue
this remarkable practice. The ants con-
tanning honey are favorite food with
the natives.

SUN AS A Hair DYE.
Sailors Have Light Locks and Luxurian


Sailors Have Light Locks and Luxuriant
d.. Ones.
The latest use to which the sun has
been put is to make it dye human hair,
and on the head of the pretty bathing
girl at that, says the New York J Journal.
This fashion began last summer. A
fashionable physician recommended
bright sunshine and sea ozone as the
best means of making the hair light
colorcd, healthy and strong. The
young person for whom this prescrip-
ton was given found it very eficacious.
The end of the resort season has by
nc means caused a subsistence Of the
fad. Never before were there in New
York so many young women whose
golden hair hangs down their backs
once every day-that is, every sun
shiny day. A queer fact, too, is that
tho idea, simple as it is, seems to have
the result of producing the desired ef-
feet. It is certainly a much more
harmless way of bleaching the hair
than that which requires the use of
chemicals.
1T seems to be very intelligent
idea" said physician, when quss-
toned regarding it. Call sailors will
tell you how rapidly the hair grows
when on board ship in the tropics. I
have had some opportunity to observe
the color. or rather the average color,
of sailors hair. I have found that
their dark-haired shipmates by two or
their fair-haired shipmates by two or
hrce to one. 1 suppose the sun has
something of a bleaching power, as
we'll as forcing the growth of the hair,
by causing an increased circulation Of
its sap In this respect it stands to
reason that each Individual hair must
be somewhat like plant in it's nature

FORTY-FIVE YEARS GONE,
Large Part Of His Life a Blank-Did the
Colt Get Away?

Large Hart or His Life q 1slank-Did the
Colt Get Away?
About As years ago Glenn Wallis, then
boy Is years of age, went out to his
fathers pasture to catch frisky colt,
says the Portland (AIe.) Advertiser. AS
he was about to place halter around
its neck the colt kicked him in
the head, making a ragged wound
The wound healed, but it soon became
apparent that the boy was slightly de-
mentcd. His hallucination took pecu-
liar forms. He would travel up and
down the bay on the steamboats,, claim
ing proprietorship and refusing to pay
fare. The steamboat men humored him.
as he was considered daft. He was the
butt of the small boys jokes and ban
ter. He has lived in the village since
and is now 60 years of age. About
six weeks ago the local physicians de-
termined to experiment on his case.
They found that a portion of his skull
had been forced into contact with the
brain by the blow and by a sllillful oper.
alton they removed the pressure. Tho
man recovered his reason and the frs;
question he asked when he recovered:
from the operation was: "Did the coli
get away?" He is perfectly sane now,
but is years of his life are blank to
him.

EYELASHES MADE TO ORDER,
Singular Plan Of Operations Adopted by
8 Chicago Hairdresser.

Singular Plan Of Operations Adopted by
Chicago Eairdresser.
In a fashionable hairdressing parlor
on one Of the downtown streets one
reads the sign: "Eyelashes made to
order"
II do not know that there is anything
particularly novel about it, said the
blond young woman who was asked for
information. eve have done this sort
of work for months.'
"And have you many patrons in that
line?'
mot so many as we have in, the other
branch of our business, the removal of
hair or wrinkles by means of electric
ity, but still we have some'' I
And then she explained the process
OF making artificial eyelashes. An ex-
ceedingly delicate little instrument is
used. It consists of needle operated
through a spring by means of the
finger. At one end Of the needle a hair
is inserted. When the operator is ready
to work on the person she takes the
eyelid between two fingers of the left
hand. The needle is then thrust into
}the fieshy part of the eyelid as close
to the eye as possible and the tiny hairs
are actually sewed on. iii
Eyelashes thus manufactured are
warranted to last two weeks without
repairs. Of course the process hurts
the patient, but what woman will not
willingly submit to suffering to. retain
her beauty and her movers to charm?

The Egyptian AfterglOw.

We all know what "Egyptian dark
ness is, and that in most tropical coun-,
tries sudden darkness after shutdown is
one of the peculiarities. In Egypt at
certain seasons of the year there is Il
marked exception to this sudden "draw-
ing of the curtains of the skies'' The
sun goes down and darkness comes OIL
very suddenly and continues for Il
space of 20 minutes or half an hour.
Then, all of a sudden, the hills and sands
take on a CHASTITY Paleness and in an
other moment everything begins to
brighten, and it appears that the sun
is about to rise out of the west. These
tints of golden, purple, orange and lilac
attain their maximum degree of bright
ness in about ten minutes after they
begin, and in 20 minutes everything has
faded into darkness and you are only
conscious of the fact that you have lust
witnessed the phenomenon known as
the Egyptian afterglow." rs

QUEER MUNICH HOTEL.
Run by Duke Theodore of Bavaria on a
Plan Peculiarly His Own.

Run by Duke Theodore of Bavaria on a
Plan Peculiarly His Own.
A thousand years ago Benedictine
spring on a mountain near Munich.
They built hospital there that was
used by their order until 90 years ago,
when it was bought by King Maxi
milan, of Bavaria, who filled it with
poor sick folk, says the London Mail.
When the king died his grandson,
Duke Theodore, found that he had not
money enough to keep up his charity.
After long and anxious consultation
with his brothers the honest, kindly
prince erected new buildings and
opened the house every year for three
months as a hotel. It was patronized
by many of the royal and noble families
of Europe, though it is free to every
conner who will conduct himself re-
specially and pay for his accommodate
tions. @..' ~
Duke Theodore provides the food
from his own farm, which he oversees.
while his brother, Prince Ludwig, acts
as host of the hotel. All guests are re-
quested to leave on the last day of An
gust. The house is then filled with
scores of poor teachers, artists and au-
thors, invalid soldiers and poorly paid
elergymen, whom the royal brothers
nave formally invited to honor them
with visit. The money made during
the summer is devoted to their enter
talnment. The duke and prince remain
in the house, lavishing kindness and
courtesy upon their guests.

Novel Pile Driving.

In a paper recently read before the
American Society of Civil Engineers,
Prof. W. H: Burr described some expert
mental pile driving through new stone
filled crib work. Nineteen piles were
driven. The crib was 35 feet deep, and
the piles, from 50 feet to GO feet long,
were shod with chilled cast-iron points,
held On by straps spiked to the pile.
The hammer used in driving weighs
$500 pounds, and the greatest number
Of blows was $50. There was no diff
Guilty whatever in driving the piles, and
there We're no failures. In the discuss
sion following the reading of the paper
several other gentlemen gave particur
lars of pile driving through loose rock.
The shoe used in the work of the New
York department. is conical. the angle
Of the gone being about go degrees.
The base Of the cone is fat, and it is Sc
cured to the cone By a pin cast as part
of the shoe and let into the end of the
pile. This type of shoe IS said to have
proved very satisfactory in practice:

WIDOW QUITE PHILOSOPHICAL.

Pastors Condolences on Her Husbands
Death Very GRACEFULLY Acknowledged.
A North side Lutheran pastor recent
~ assigned to fashionable ccngrega-
ton is wondering whether hereafter it
will be policy for him to offer con-
dolences when young matrons of his
flock lose their husbands, or forever
keep his peace. He is very much per
turbed over an incident which occurred
quite recently, says the Chicago Chron-
icle.
Some time last summer and before he
had been assigned to this particular
church the invalid husband of one Of
his prominent church members went

of climate might restore him to health
But the rarifed atmosphere of the
mountains instead of benefi ting the in

after all, you have this consolation that

A Peculiar Glass.

The first explorers of China tell of a
peculiar kind of glass shown them.
Transparent and colorless, it was filled
with a liquid made: by the orientals,
which to the observers appeared to be as
clear as water. This liquor upon being
poured into the glass seemed to be filled
with fishes. This was not owing to any
popularity of the fluid, but to the glass
itself. The Chinese confessed that they
did not make them, but that they were
the plumber of some foreign conquest
many centuries before. s.ts
