ANTS ACT AS sTRATEeIsTs.

Colonies of the Insects Transact
Business with Military Precision.
From military standpoint the meth
DDS employed by ants to provide FOOD
for an ant colony are almost perfect.
Their foraging parties are faultless,
both In planning and execution, and
are almost uniformly successful. A
resident Of this city who visited South
Africa gives this description OF foray
Of an army Of ants.
The army, which he estimates to
have numbered about $4,000 ants.
started from Its home In the mud
walls Of hut and marched In the d.
rection Of small mound Of fresh
earth but a few yards distant. The
head OF the column halted on reaching
the foot Of the mound and waited FOR
the rest Of the force TO arrive at the
place Of operations, which evidently
was to be the mound Of fresh earth.
When the remainder had arrived and
halted SO that the entire army was as
sembled, n number Of ants detached
themselves from the main body and
began TO ascend to the top OF the
mound. while the others began moving
40 rs to encircle the base OF the mound.
Soon n number from the detachment
which had assembled the mound. evil

the ground and then returned Tor d

on the outside Of the mound took up
the crickets and grasshoppers as they
were brought out and bore them down
10 the base OF the hill. returning for
fresh load. Soon the contents OF the
mound seemed 10 be exhausted. and
then the whole force returned home,
each carrying his burden OF food Tor
the community.

HINTS FOR THE KITCHEN,

II you want to powder parsley to
sprinkle over new potatoes or any other
dish, dip it first quickly into boiling
water; shake the water of, and put 1t on
plate or paper In & quick oven for q
few minutes. When quite dry rub either
between your hands. or through q fne
sieve.
To tnrn out q jelly slightly grease jelly
moulds with butter, and when the jelly
or pudding is to be taken out plunge the
mould into hot water and remove ut
once. The jelly will thus turn out with
out any trouble.
The best method Of greasing griddle
Is to take q bit of salt pork and rub over
with fork. This prevents adhesion and
yet does not allow the fat to soak into
what Is to be cooked.
In putting cakes on the griddle be
careful to form them Q regular round
shape, and put on only one ct each dip,
so as not to spill between the cakes.
Dried orange peel allowed to shoulder
on piece Of red-hot iron or on IN old
shovel will kill any bad odor and leave .
fragrant one behind.
A piece Of heavy unblesched muslin
neatly hemmed should Do placed over
-four barrel under the lid TO keep out the
insects and dust.
When removing the scales Of . fsh
the work viii be rendered much easier
by dipping the flsh for moment into
boiling water.
A little vinegar put into frying pan
and heated over the IRE removes the
0dor Of flsh or onions from the utensil.
