A Brave Woman.

A beautiful Canadian who Joined the
China Inland mission as the wife Of
the Rev. Riquhart, a Belgian mission
AIRY. has just reached Tachieulu with a
terrible story OF cruelty and suffering
among the fierce mountain tribesmen
Of Thibet. Her husband was brutally
murdered, and her son died from ex
haustion. Their bodies were taken
away and mutilated- She was chased
through the mountains on the border
OF China and Thibet, and was shot at
time and again. Passing through
countless dangers, and without the aid
of a single native servant, she travelled
on for two months. and finally reached
q mission. Her clothes were almost
torn away. her shoes had given ont
her feet were bleeding from the sharp
rocks She was nothing but a pitiable
wreck. She writes to a friend In Shang-
hal OF her bereavement and the cruelty
of the Thibetans to her husband, and
says she is preparing to go back to the
wild men OF the snowy China noun
tains.

Golfers Weekly: II is certainly not
true that small hands are bred by
choice descent, for In enc family the
hands of both women and men are
found different in size and in every
other quality. The individual woman
of the people stretches and hardens
her hand and batters her nails on her
own account. SO that months OF care
would not retrieve it; but doubtless
her baby hand was much the same as
a rich woman's In her own babyhood
English women and Americans. with
their blonde hands, are admired de-
liriously for this one beauty by the
darker races. But at any rate to Eng
lish eyes there is loneliness also In the
fine hand that has clear brown color in
place OF white-a rare beauty. for the
blonde woman has usually the finer
form of hand; but somewhat dark
must have been the tender inward n,

II ants we're large enough they
woald rule the earth. AS 1t Is they
predominant the politics Of their own

acteristics.
The longest time for which an an

awakening they stretch their iegs.
yawn, and then carefully clean them
selves by applying their legs TO nep
mouths and rubbing them over their
bodies, very much in the style OF a
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 u case TO
employ more or less complicated me-
chanical eontrivances Is provided for
by the physical structure of the ants.
Ants clean themselves 10th 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 ~srrawling on her back, re-
laxing her muscles and abandoning
herself TO the enjoyment OF the opera
ton.
They are great hunters, attacking
snakes. lizards. rats, mice. centipedes
and beetles.
They even kill the great African py-
thon- Ii is said that il a python has
killed an animal, he dare not gorge
himself with IL till he has made a wide
circuit, and satisfied himself that there
are no driver ants in the neighbor-
hood. II, however, he meets with any

they actually milk the aphides by tap

abdomen with their antennae till the
fluid exudes, when it is at once sucked
up by the ants.
Iney shut them up in cow houses
and use them for days.
Ants act as soldiers In a very real
way, and II is no stretch OF language TO
call them pitched battles between ants

species upon the nests Of another.
sometimes to carry of the larvae and
pupae as food Ia modified form of can

their own nests with slaves.
Certain ants are a~griculturists. and
allow ant-rice to grow up in a circle
round their nests, while every other
plant is carefully cut down as fast
as it appears. They SOW the crop reg
ularly. tend II. and harvest ii. When
the seeds fall they are carried into the
nest, and the stubble is cleared away.
When the grain in the nest gets
damped by rain these ants carry it out
into the open to dry.
