ANTS AID THEIR WAYS.
II the busy Little Things Were
Large Enough They Would
Rule Everything.

If ants were large enough they would
rule the earth. As it ia, they predomi.
nate the politics of their own sphere,
and have many human characteristics,
says the Cincinnati Enquirer.
The longest time for which an ant
sleeps is three and half hours. On
awakening they stretch their legs,
yawn and then carefully clean them
selves by applying their legs to their
mouths and rubbing them over their
bodies, very much in the style of cat
washing her face; after which they
comb and brush their heads and bodies
with the natural comb which nature
gives them.
The most remarkable thing about
this is that almost every necessity for
which we are obliged in our case to EN-
ploy more or less complicated me-
chanical contrivances is provided for
by the physical structure of the ants.
Ants clean themselves both before
and after sleep and also after eating.
Frequently one ant will lick and brush
another all over. limb by limb, the ant
operated on sprawling on her back, re-
laxing her muscles and abandoning her,
self to the enjoyment Of the operation.
They are great hunters, attacking
snakes, lizards, rats, mica ssatipedss
and beetles.

PARSNIP COMPLEXION.

A majority Of the ills affecting people
to-day can be traca to kidney trouble.
1t pervades all classes of society, in all
climates, regardless Of age, sex or con-
dition.
The sallow, colorless.looking people
you often meet are afflicted with kid
ney complexion" Their kidneys are
turning to parsnip color. SO is their
complexion. They may suffer from in
digestion. bloating, Aeeplessness, uric
acid, gravel, dropsy, rheumatism, ca
tarrh of the bladder, or irregular heart.
You may depend upon it, the cause is
weak, unhealthy kidneys.
Women as we'll as men are made mis-
cradle with kidney arG bladder trouble
and both need the same remedy. DR..
Kilmer's Swamp-Root, the great kid
ney. liver and bladder remedy, will
build up and strengthen weak and un-

kidney-poisoned blood, clear the com.
plexion and soon help the sufferer ia
better health.
The mild and the extraordinary effect
of Swamp4Root is soon realized. II

cures of the most distressing cases, such

derful creatures than we in America
have any idea of. No; the way apes
are made useful is this:
In that far-otf, dried-up, little ORR
entail country, quite near China. you
know, there are large quantities OF
counterfeit coin in circulation; aud the
counterfeiters of Siam must be most
proficient, for we hear that it IL the
hardest thing in the world to detect the
bad from the good money. The mer'
chants are often deceived and frequent
ly swinded. The smartest men they
could employ We're deceived, too: for
the bad money was such wonderful
imitation that the closest scrutiny often
failed to find the difference between a
good and bad piece.
In this dilemma some Siamesc mer-
chants called to their help some one
who was always thought not so smart
as a mana monkey. And these Large
apes of SIAM proved such Il success at
their new avocation that the custom OF
employing them for the purpose OF de-
tectng bad money has become univer'
sal The ape cashier of Siam holds his
situation without rival!
He has peculiar method of testing
coin. Every piece is handed to him and
he picks up each bit of money, one at
time, and meditatively puts it into his
mouth, tasting it with grave delibera'
ton. If the coin is good he declares
the fact plainly. He takes it from his
mouth and carefully places it in ita
proper receptacle beside him. lie hal
pronounced judgment and everyone is
satisfied that the judgment is correct
But, if the coin is bad, the cashier
makes known his verdict in an equally
unmistakable manner. He throws II
violently from his mouth to the aoor
shaking his head with as much disgust
as the merchant himself might feel al
being imposed upon. With loud chat
tering and angry gestures he makes
known his displeasure at being pre-
sented with bad piece of money. The
merchant himself could not express il
| better.
Now, how does monkey know wha'
a man cannot tell? All. that is his Sc
cret. He never reveals it. Perhaps HI
| is afraid if he should make known al
| the mysteries of his profession his oc
.cupation might be gone, and people
would once more prefer men for cash
icrs in place OF the extraordinary apes
employed by the merchants of SIAM

The tooth is kept in the temple OF

II is reported to have belonged to

inches long and one inch wide at its

This incloses six other shrines of pure

Street cars without wheels are the

on ball bearings, and, being near the
line instead of raised above it, are not
subject to the same amount Of re-

force. Much greater speed is thus OBJ
