Capturing a Bear and a Bride.
BY WILL s. GIDLEY.

In the first place. began Joe. l
want to say that there never was a
purifier gal in Pike county than Ma
tHda higgins an no worse old crank
than her father. Well, l spose l kin
overlook his failin's now that I'm a
member of the family, but 1t looked
one spell as though I never would be,
and then is when l discovered his
crankiness-hull streaks Of it, with
mighty little film in between.
When l asked him if might wait on
his daughter Matilda with the prospect
Of marrying her in time he grunted
once or twice to himself an then said
sarcastic-like:
Eye kin-pervided l don't ketch ye
at it,"
This was a back-hander an sorter
staggered me fer minute, but when
come to ag'in I spoke up an SEE:
What objections have ye ag'inst me

Turks to Have Drinking Water.

A notable feature of the sultan's
jubilee will be the number Of public
drinking fountains now in course of
construction in different parts of the
empire. Constantinople will have a
fountain presented by Emperor Will
liam which Is rapidly approaching
completion. Further, the city is to
be furnished with good drinking water
at the expense of the sultan, and uni
versity will be established, as well az
medical college and hospital, which,
it is said, will surpass anything OF the
kind in Europe. In the provinces the
Damascus to Mecca railway project
and the telegraph line to the Hejas are
to mark the twenty-nfth anniversary
OF the sultan's reign. though the carry
ing out Of the railway Is regarded by
all experts as doubtful enterprise

THE SOAP BUBBLE.


A perfect sphere presents the least
amount Of surface in proportion to its
bulk. Apart from geomstric proof the
best illustration of this fact is to be
found in the common soap bubble. The
envelop is perfectly elastic and homo
geneous, and when detached from ths
PIPE it takes the form Of perfect
sphere, because in that shape the least
amount of film contains the greatest
amount Of air. or in other words. it
presents the least amount of surface
in proportion to its bulk. The early
experiment to prove the incompressi-
bility of water was founded on a
knowledge of this fact. the knowledge
having been obtained by geometric re-
search. A golden globe was filled with
water and subjected to pressure, the
experimenters knowing that If it
could be altered in shape the water
must be compressed" A similar prob
lem has been propounded, How
should shepherd arrange 100 hur-
dies so as to contain the greatest num-
Der of Sheep" and the answer is, "In
a circle" and what is true of circle
is true also Of a sphere.-Cincinnati
Enquirer.

WHAT ATS DO.
Some Things That show Their Superior
Intelligence.


Intelligence.
There are good many ants of diff
ferent varieties on the lot at my coun-
try place near Covington, and last year
1 began to make a systematic study .
their habits. / found it most fascin-
ating pursuit and have resumed it with
much enthusiasm during several visits
this year. A little investigation will
convince almost anybody think, that
the ant approaches nearer to man In
point of intelligence than any of the
lower animals. Some of the things l
have seen are so marvellous that l
would hesitate to speak of them II
similar wonders had not been fully re-
corded by trained scientists. Near
one Of my flower beds is a colony Of
small red ants that are extremely In
dustrious in collecting food, and they
frequently perform the most astonish-
heavy burdens to their homes. Not
long ago l watched party Of about
dozen that had found the body Of
small spider, and were dragging it
toward the nest. The spider had
hairy legs, which struck out in every
direction and caught on obstacles,
greatly retarding progress. For sew
eral minutes the ants rolled away with
their awkward booty, and then stopped
and seemed to hold a council. A min
ute fragment Of dry leaf was lying on
the ground; presently they all laid
hold and pulled the spider on top OF
it. They then seized the edges and
slid it along without difficulty. On an
other occasion l saw a large body OF
these same ants start out for raid on
another colony. They marched like an
army, with scouts thrown out at the
sides, and, when several feet distant
from the nest, divided into two parties
One kept straight on and was soon
engaged in fierce combat with the 9TH
er tribe, while the second detachment
made detour and fell upon the hill
from the rear. The result was great
victory for the invaders. Anybody
that feels interested in the subject and
that will put In little time at close
study, will be certain to witness ex-
ploits fully as astonishing as those l
have .-Times-Democrat.

prospective father-in-law, must say!"
But he didn't do it, father" spoke
up Matilda, with becomin' blush.

but II has recently sold at better than

this stock is largely due 90 the fact that

recorded In Lower Mammoth after
many fluctuations, and several assess

however, a body OF good ore has been
found on the 200 which has given The
stock better tone, causing Il 10 jump
from 40 10 70 IN a few days with the
shaft now at the 500 II IS expected that
In a few weeks the company Will cut a
big chute Of ore on this level. which
has caused the stock 10 advance TO So.
Daisy Of West Dip stood az l3 In the

the end OF last December u has since
