DO Ants Talk!

A close observer of the little crca-
lures of God world tells us that he
once saw drove Of small black ants
moving, perhaps to more commodious
quarters. The distance was over
seven hundred feet, and nearly every
ant was laden with portion of house
hold goods. Some carried their
"cggs" he cocoon stage of the ant,
some had .eod, "some had one thing
and some another. 1 sat and watched
them over an hour" he continues,
"and | noticed that every time two
met in the way they would hold their
heads close together as if greeting one
another, and no matter how often the
meeting took place this same thing
occurred, as though short chat was
necessary. To prove more about it
killed one that was on his way. Others
which were eye-witnesses to the MUIR
der went with speed, and with every
ant they met this talking took place
as before. But instead of pleasant
greeting, it was sad news they had
to communicate. l know it was sad
news, for every ant that these messen-
gers met hastily turned back and fed on
another course. So the news spread,
and it was true. How was it commu-
nicated if not by speecb?"
Many nature students have observed
like facts. Yet we are almost as far
from solution Of the problem of ant
intercommunication to-day as ever.
The Rev. Henry G. McCood, D. D of
Philadelphia, has done more than any
other living student in America in
this field Of ant study. Young natu-
ralists cannot take up a more fasci-
mating study than that of ant habits;
but murder, even of an ant, is not
necessary in such studies, save to
preserve few speciments to assure
one of the species under study. An
ingenious and true lover Of nature
delights to devise ways for such
study that do 20. require needless
straightforward.

The Importance OF Grass.

No more graphic and comprehensive
statement has been made on the sub
ject Of grasses than this by John j.
Ingalls,: "Next in Importance to the
divine profusion Of water, light, and
air, those three great physical facts
which render existence possible, may
be reckoned the universal bene6cence
OF grasses. Exaggerated by tropical
heats and vapors to the gigantic cane
congested with its saccharine concre-
ton, or dwarfed by polar rigors to TIE
fibrous hair of Northern latitudes, en-
bracing between these extremes the
maize with its resolute pennons, the
rice plant of Southern sswamps, the
wheat, rye, barley, oats, and other
cereals, no less than the humble ver-
dure Of hillside, pasture. and prairie in
the temperate zone, grass is the most
widely distributed Of all vegetable be-
ings, and is ct once the type Of our
life and the emblem of our mortality"
Mr.. Ingalls, says this also in favor
of grass. "Its tenacious fbers hold
the earth in its place and prevent its
soluble components from washing into
the wasting sea. It invades the soli-
tudes, climbs the inaccessible slopes
and forbidding pinnacles of noun
tains; modifes climates, and determi-
nes the history, character, and destiny
Of nations. Unobtrusive aud patient,
it has immortal vigor and aggression.
Banished from the thoroughfare and
the field, it bides its time to return,
and when vigilance is relaxed, or The
dynasty has porished, il silently,
resumes the throne from which it las
been expelled, but which it never abb
dicates. It bears no blazonry of bloom
to charm the senses with fragrance or
splendor, but its homely hue is more
enchanting than that of the lily or the
rose. It yields no fruit in earth or
air, and yet should It's harvest fail for
a single year, famine would depopn-
late the world"
Evidently the presence Of grass in
farming practice can hardly be over
stated; and even in the usual under-
standing of the meaning Of tho word
grass il is safe to say that there can be
no good farming without grass in the
pasture and meadow form. The fact
is that the state Of farmingia coun-
try can usually be inferred from the
presence or absence Of the grass feat
ure.

The American Girls Marriage.

When the American girl defcrs her
choice of husband until she has had
reasonable opportunity to see some
thing Of mankind, and had chance
to compare the good with the bad, she
is pretty apt to strike good judge of
herself. AS a rule, she is pretty
good judge of men when she gives her
judgment time to assist her to wise
conclusion. The point is to get her
to wait. It must be saii to her credit
that she is waiting longer than she
did formerly. 1t is not so many years
ago that girl was considered Of a
narriageablc age when she became
sixteen or seventeen years old. If
she married then, or shortly afterward,
it was not such an unusual thing.
Twenty-Five years ago girls generally
married at nineteen, while to day the
average is closer to twenty.three.
The marriage of girl in her teens
causes actual surprise in these days.
Out of list Of 1000 marriages recent
ly compiled, just onc-half the brides
were between twenty-five and twenty
five; 200 we're between twenty five
and thirty. Still, there were 300
under twenty years of age. And
nearly all these young girls married
men under twenty-two-mere boys, in
other words. And this is the fatal
part Of girls marriage at too early
an age. Instead Of choosing a man
for her husband she is very apt to
choose boy.-Ladies Home Journal.

Washing the Face.

This matter of washing the face ars
pears very simple, but it is the excep-
tion rather than the rule when it is
properly done. Look at piece Of fur
nituro and note the amount Of dust
and dirt it will collect in few hours,
and it is realized the quantity the
face has to receive. 1t not only gath
ers up the minute PARTICLES of all kinds
that float about the house, but that,
too, which is outside. There is an
old tradition that if one would pre-
serve a delicate complexion, water
should not touch the face, its skin to
be cleansed by rubbing it with piece
Of flannel, which might suffice if the
face we're kept in glass case. The
face needs hot water applied literally
to it with the hands, and generally
the use of a pure, nonirritating soap
will not come amiss. Wash clothes
are often an abomination, as they are
too seldom free from impurities, and
the same statement is true Of sponges.
They are left imperfectiy cieansed
from the soap that has been used and
are dried at the washstand, when
after every use they should be wash
ed, boiled and hung in the air. 1
have often seen faces with muddy
skins dotted with black heads and
pimples because impurities from wash
cloths and sponges have been rubbed
into the skin, to its infection.
IF the face is oily and, filled with
fine blackheads, the latter can be re-
moved by rubbing them with soft
cloth dipped in alcohol or in equal
parts Of cologne and water; the latter
will cleanse tie face better than any
thing else, acting upon the skin as
gentle stimulant. The contact Of the
fingers with the face seems to have a
vivifying effect. It is easy while
thus dashing the water in the face to
message it and to bring the blood to
the surface.
IF, however, the face has not been
carefully looked after in the manner
described, the only matter has been
allowed to COLLECT in the glands and
enlarge their ori6ces, and the face is
dotted with these unpigthly accumu-
lations, the work Of getting rid Of
them is no easy matter. Some of the
largest may be rubbed out with the
soft cloth dipped in cologne and water,
especially if the face is first steamed; /;
but if this method is not sufficient,
those remaining must be pressed out,
one by one, using watch key. The
hole Of the key is placed over the
point, quick pressue is made, and
the contents Of the gland is pushed
out. To allay the irritation the face
should be washed with very hot water
after this, and care should be taken
that TOO many Of .he hlsekhosas are
not removed at one time.--Dr. Grace
Psckhans Murray, in Harpers Basar.

SchOOlr0om stoves.

Stoves ornamented with German
notices seem somewhat out of place
in English board schools. and yet the
educational establishment in addison
Gardens boasts several of these heat

Niscount Morpeth. chairman of the
works committee. whether he was
aware of their Teutonic origin. and
whether the Inscriptions were sup
posed to possess any educational
value His lordship replied that the
articles in question were not to be
had in this country. and that he had
not noticed the texts when giving the
order. says the London Telegraph.
So far, so good: but now that the
stoves are there. the philologic occa-
sion may just as well be improved.

spell "winder." and. being satisfied
with the result. told him to go and

Metropolitan museum of art. New York

Good photographs of living wild

SCIENCE IN FEEDING.

Many farmers do not fully UNDER
