WOman'a Hand.

Golfers Weekly: 1t Is certainly not
true that small hands are bred by
choice descent, for in one 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
llsh eyes there is loveliness 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

WONDERFUL THINGS.
About Insects That Would Rule the

About Insects That Would Rule the
World II Mig Enough.
II ants were large enough they
would rule the earth. AS 1t is they
predominant the politics Of their own
sphere. and have many human char
acteristics.
The longest time for which an ant
sleeps is three and a 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
employ 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-
taxing her muscles and abandoning
herself to the enjoyment of the opera
tion.
They are great hunters, attacking
snakes, lizards, rats, mice, centipedes
and beetles.
They even kill the great African py-
thon. 1t is said that if python has
killed an animal, he dare not gorge
himself with it till he has made a wide
circuit, and satisfied himself that there
are no driver ants in the neighbor-
mood. III, however, he meets with any
he abandons his prey to them, and dis
creetly retires. A certain species ac-
tually keep COWS; in other words,
plant lice. When the ants are hungry
they actually milk the aphides by tap
ping them briskly on the sides of the
abdomen with their antennae till the
fluid exudes, when it is at once sucked
up by the ants.
They shut them up in COW houses
and use them for days.
Ants act as soldiers in a very real
way, and it is no stretch of language to
call them pitched battles between ants
of the same species, and raids of one
species upon the nests of another,
sometimes to carry off the larvae and
pupae as food "a modified form of can
nibalism), and sometimes to supply
their own nests with slaves.
Certain ants are agriculturists, 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 it, and harvest it. 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.
