yesterday, between the United States and

Ants Versus Bullets.

Only the other, day the Kansas vol
unteers got under so heavy fire that
after spreading out in line of skir-
mishers, the order was given to lie
down. One unfortunate soldier flop
ped squarely into an ant hill. Thous-
ands OF the little pests swarmed an
grily over him, biting with the pecul-
ar penetration of Filipino ants. IL
second the soldier jumped up swear
ing and almost screaming with the
pain.

Captain. - ...s....

the unhappy soldier. He could stand
it only few seconds, when he leaped
once more to his feet. &C.,.
@Lie down, l tell you," insisted the
Captain. .... ~-. '
@Blankety-blank, Captain, can't"
protested the poor fellow.
Just then a sheet of Mauser bullets
flew past him, at all nights, from his
shins to his head. 1t was marvellous
that the standing soldier was not hit
in dozen places. But he changed
his mind swiftly about the possibility
OF lying down. Down he went, re-
gardless Of ants, shouting to his COM
mander:
@Yes, I can, Captain! By the holy
smoke, yes ! can, sir!'
And he remained down until the
order came to rise.-Leslie's Weekly.

1T SURPRISED HIM.
The Professor Expected Death. But

The late Prof. Marsh loved to tell Of
an adventure which once befen him
while a member of q party of fossil

Forest and Stream.
The whole party realized that they
were in a dangerous country, and all
hands were constantly on the watch for.
enemies, and were careful not to wan
der far from the command; or If two
or three fossil gatherers did go off from
the main body they took with them a
number of soldiers to stand guard while
they worked. -
One day Prof. Marsh was hard at
work on his knees in the bottom Of the
narrow ravine digging away the soil.
from q bone which stuck out of the
bank, He was entirely, absorbed in his
task and noticed nothing of what was
going on about him until the brilliant
sunlight was cut oH!bya dark shadow,
and he looked up to see standing above
him a grim Indian warrior holding his
rifle ready.
The professors heart leaped into his
throat. He forgot where he was. He
strove to utter propitiatory "How,"
but his dry HIPS refused to form the
word, and he could only swallow, try
ing TO get rid Of the lump in his throat.
Suddenly the savage bent toward him
and spoke: Z. :"fs'S
"Have the honor of addressing Prof.
Othnell Charles Marsh, the eminent
paleontologist of Yale college?" he in

The revulsion of feeling was almost
too much for the professor, who was
now even less able to speak than he had
been before.

ANIMAL HEAD FORMS.
They Are Made An Great variety and
Sold in Large Numbers IN
This Country.

There are made for furriers. and for
other uses great numbers of animal
head forms, these being reproductions,
in a composition used for the purpose
or in papier- nlache, of the heads of va
rious animals, including squirrels,
foxes, wolves, bears, tigers and almost,
il not, indeed. every known kind of ami
NAL, large and small, says the New York
Sun. Co..
Animal head forms are commonly
made with the mouth open, showing
the inside of the jaws and the tongue
and the teeth. These parts, in heads of
all sizes and whatever the animals may
be- are finished and colored by the head
form manufacturer The eyes are COM
monty put in by the furriers and others
using the head forms when, the forms
are covered. though they are sometimes
put in by the head-form manufacturer.
There are made in artificial eyes re-
productions from nature of the eyes
of practically all known animals and
birtls. Such eyes are sold and used in
the aggregate in enormous numbers.
The smaller animal. head forms are
sold by the gross; big ones, like bears
and tigers, by the dozen. Taking them
all together, large and small, the num-
Der of animal head forms used is very
large, amounting in this country to mil
lions annually. The smaller heads are
produced at very small cost. Formerly
the animal head forms used in this
country were imported from Germany
and England. Now they are made here,
and some American head forms are ex-
ported.

THE GOLD GRABBERs AGAIN.

Remarks the San Francisco Bulle.
tin:
%We doubt very much if Mr.. w. j.
Bryan, should he become Secretary
OF the Treasury, would exercise his
legal right to pay bonds in silver. He
would wait for, Congress TO legislate
to restore to silver the value it has
lost. But the enactment OF law de-
elsrinR gold the money in which all
obligations should be paid would re-
move the possibility that a future
Secretary of the Treasury might ex.
ercise the debtors option and pay
debts with silver"
There is absolutely no Just reason
why United States bonds should not
be paid IN silver, provided there he
plenty of silver in the United States
Treasury with which to pay them.
And there is absolutely no reason
why those bonds should be be paid
in gold, if the United States has to
borrow gold on the outside at interest
in order to pay, while there is plenty
Of silver in the Treasury with which
to meet the demand.
Such financiering has ever been
done solely with the object IN view
of fastening the clutch of the Gold
Ring tighter around the necks Of the
Nation and the people. There never
has been a declaration by Congress
that those bonds shall be paid in gold
coin, although an attempt has fire..
quently been made to force such a
law. And yet, Notwithstanding that
fact, the Secretaries of the Treasury
have ever given the pound of flesh
and the blood as well to the Shylocks
in place Of looking out for the rights
and the benefit of the people. Only
once, we believe-and that was done
by Daniel Naming in the first term
Of Grover Cleveland-wasW Wall Street
thwarted. When that power present
ed lot of bonds, Manning told the
syndicate that it would have to take
silver or nothing. But neither Cleve-
land nor Manning lasted long on that
lay-the Gold Ring soon had them
both.
A declaration by Congress to the
effect that the bonds shall be paid in
gold alone, would be a complete sur
render to the Gold Ring--a surrend-
er 30 shameless that Congress has
never yet dared to put it in cold type,
although it must be confessed that
the same surrender has been accom-
plshed, in a roundabout way by var.
