Ant Funerals,

LucyrL. yelrill, describing her stud.

tells about the ant funerals which she
has witnessed. When an ant dies, she
says, about thirty Of its surviving
comrades gather about 1t and two OF

Having found q spot to their liking,
the ants scratch q little hole In the
earth, put the dead ant In it and then
cover up the body. Afterward they
return in procession to their home,

Plain Buckles the Style.

The reaction against fancy belt
buckles is setting in, and the clerks
of the counters where these extrava-
gances are sold say that there is 4
greater demand for plain silver and
unornamented gilt than for the snowy
amethyst, turquoise and emerald
studded trinkets so popular earlier in
the season. The plain buckles are
solid and handsome in design, though
much smaller than the fligree pat
terms. Coils of rope, gilt and silver
straps, wreaths of laurel exquisiteiy
chased and loose linked chains are tie
favorite patterns. Gilt, picked out
with red, green or black enamel and
oxidized silver are also worn by the
woman who doessnot care for "circus
iewelry."

Tree Climbing Fish.

india has fishes which climb trees
and migrate from stream to stream in
dry season. Florida can match her
with q great snail which climbs trees
and feasts on the young birds, like
his fellow robber, the blue crab. The
shell of this snail is opaline, and al
most as transparent as glass. Its
shape is odd and handsome. This
snail is edible and not unlike those
found on the coast Of France and
which are so much in demand In the
markets of Paris. In some places they
are so abundant that shake Of a
tree will bring down a bushel of them.

The Age of Niagara.

The truth of the adage about con-
stant dripping wearing away stone
is strikingly illustrated in the fact that
the Niagara river has been $4,000
years cutting its channel 200 feet
deep, 1000 feet wide and seven miles
long through solid rock. Evidence is
conclusive that tile falls were formerly
ut Queenstone, seven miles below the
present situation. It has been proved
that they have not receded more than
one foot q year for the last half CEN

and food, and was ordered to the hos.

Two days later, on July1, while still
at the hospital, I heard of the fighting
Mt the front, and, thinking that it was
my duty to be there, and feeling well
enough to make the journey, 1 walked
the eight miles to the firing line. This
was in the morning, and all that day

them with the wounded,

consciousness. I was lying on my.
left side, and at first I was sure that
my right arm was broken. I sat up

where I was hurt. Ny first sensation
