SEWING Done by Ants.

Ants are credited with so many mar
velous accomplishments that new one
must be remarkable to the noteworthy.
Mr. e. G. Green of Ceylon, an authori-
ty upon insect habits, has, however,
made an observation which is well
worth putting on record. He has watch
ed red ants holding grubs in their
mouths and using the web they spin to
repair a rent in their nest.
Some leaves which had been fastened
together by the ants were separated by
Mr.. Green, ard in short time after he
saw small white grubs being passed
backward and forward across the gap.
Closer observation showed that each
grub was held in the jaws of one of the
worker ants, and its movements were
directed as required. \ continuous
thread of silk issued from the mouth Of
each grub and was used by the ants to
sew up the rent in their shelter.
There were no grubs in the neighbor-
hood, and those used were obtained
from a nest at some distance. This de-
Iiberate use of a naturally formed web
as a sewing thread is as astonishing as
any instance of the intelligence of ants
vet observed.

THE TRAINED NURSE
An Occupation Which At
tracts Many Refined Girls.

Many girls of education and refine
ment are turning to the profession of
trained nurse as a means of llVel1-
hood. 1t is a serious occupation and
a responsible one, for the word of an
experienced nurse carries great weight
in matters relating to her profession.
1t is this fact that prompted an in
teresting interview with Miss Kath-

the News of that city. To reporter
she said:

ear. l had no strength and, although
was always drowsy, sleep did not
seem to refresh me. After l came
home l had seven assesses on my
back, near the waist line, and was
unable to sit up much for three or
four months. The doctors who treat

fore l had used one box of the pills

appetite and digestion improved and
1 felt rested after sleeping, instead of
being tired as 1 was formerly. I soon
became entirely well and able to re-

expert on the hair, and many other
people can say the same, either with
their hair or beard, or they could do so
if they took the trouble to watch.
MY mustache gets thick and I'M
ruly. 1 know what that means, yet

ing. A lady patient of mine has wavy
hair.
when she has been subjected to
mental or physical strain, her hair loses
its waviness and becomes straight.
OVERRIDING it on her cycle, or worry,
will bring about this change, and,
though she feels no particular weak
ness she comprehends that her vitality
has been decreased, and acts accord
ingly.

sensations have their effect on the hair,

Miss Matte L. Guild, President Hi

perance Union, in a recent letter from
Chicago, ILL.,, says:
81 doubt if Peruna has a rival in all
the remedies recommended to-day for
catarrh of the system. A remedy that
will cure catarrh of the stomach will
cure the same condition of the mucous
membrane anywhere. 1 have found it
the best remedy I have ever tried for
catarrh, and believing it worthy my
endorsement l gladly accord it,
Catarrh of the abdominal organs is
very much more common in summer
than in winter time. This form of ca
tarrh might be appropriately classed
as summer catarrh.
Peruna will cure catarrh wherever
located. In pelvic catarrh it has won
well deserved renown. Peruna will
cure any case of diarrhoea, acute or
chronic. Peruna is an absolute spec:-
fic for dysentery. Peruna cures ca
tarrh of the liver. Peruna cures ca
tarrh of the stomach.

SOME STAGE FORTUNES.
Leading Actors Are Af1uent Unless
They Are Spendthrifts.

Leading Actors Are Aff1uent Unless
They Are Spendthrifts.
The actor richest in his direct earn
ings is Joseph Jefferson, says Every
body:s Magazine. He has drawn very
large audiences during more than forty
years, the plays he presents cost him
nothing in royalties to their authors,
his companies are moderate in the pay
roll, he divides with no partner and his
share of the gross receipts leaves no
large portion to the theater in which
he appears. Lolita Crabtree is much
weather. than he, but through the in
crease of the capital with which she re-
tired from the stage years ago. So is
Sol Smith Russell, who has invested
his savings fortunately. William Crane
is another who has turned some of his
income into accumulation. Denman
Thompson would be as well off as Rus
sell or Crane if he had not lost con-
siderable part of the heavy profits of
his tours.
An actor who made a great deal and
then sunk it is Neil Burgess. The same
thing is true of Edward Harrigan. The
Irish comedians, Andrew Mack and
Chauncey Olcott, may be put down at
$4,000 each for the season, their man
ayers making as much more. Peter F..
Daley is Whereabouts. The same fig
ures will do for those German mimics,
Louis Mann and the Roger brothers,
Weber and Fields, two more of the
German dialect actors, have joint for
tune of 100000, made by attention to
the business side of their efforts.
To get back into the irreproachably
legitimate field there are many stars
of good degree-such as Helena Mod
jeska, James O'Neil, Henry Miller, Sa-
rah Cowell LIE Moyne, James X. Hack
EFT, Louis James, Kathryn Kidder and
Robert Mantell-whom the managers
do not regard as ''moneymakers." Yet
they clear $4,000 apiece annually on
the average. That isn't so bad for a
calling once despised and ill-paid. There
are a dozen to twenty actors and ac-
tresses getting the equal of that in
salary with resident or travelling COM
panies, with no uncertainty about it,
but there's the distinction of starring to
take into account.

METHODS OF SUICIDE.
How Desperate Persons Adopt Pre-

how Desperate Persons Adopt Pre-
vailinE Styles of Destruction.
"The remarkable methods several sui
cides have adopted in this city recently
call attention to the fact that methods
of self destruction are largely matters
of suggestion" said a doctor. when
a man gets in that condition where he
wants to die, he has little inventive
ability and adopts the method that has
been brought to his mind. You will no.
tice that after one person kills himself
with acid there follows long list Of
acid suicides. 1t is the same with any
unusual method. One person gets up
an original way, and that inspires the
next one to try his hand until we have
a whole series of such grewsome nov
elites.
81 have proved this theory. Several
years ago 1 was discussing this feature
of suicide with several friends, includ-
ing the coroner. They ridiculed my
theory. 1 offered to prove it. 1t hap
pened that shooting and hanging were
popular just then. l wrote an article
for a newspaper on the horrors of
strangulation and pistol wounds and
explained the ease with which one
could kill himself with prussic acid.
Death from prussic acid, you know, is
absolutely instantaneous and, many be-
lieve. painless. There had not been
suicide with this acid for more than 8
year, but within q week after the arti
Gle was published there were four, and
one of the unfortunates had clippings
of my article in his pocket.
"Of course l was accused of killing
these four by suggestion, but 1 was
never arrested and do not feel guilty,
for when once a person has decided to
kill himself the method is slight mat
ter. No person in his right mind will
commit suicide. We all know in our
sane moments of easy ways to end life,
but when in the suicidal frame Of mind
nature seems to rob us of our reason in
this direction, as if in a desperate hope
of preventing the sacrifice"

Growing Use of Private Cars.

Private railway cars have always
been associated in the popular mind
with great wealth, but plan has been
developed which makes it possible for
even a vaudeville actor or a business
man in ordinary circumstances, or any
body else reasonably well to do, who
wishes to make a display or to enjoy
the luxury of travel, to own private
car built according to his own specifi-
cations, according to the Worlds Work.
A car-reftting company in New York
city buys old Pullman coaches, tears
the inside furnishings out and refits
them according to the wishes of its GUS
toners. Whatever kind of private car
a man may wish he may order-parlors,
handsomely carpeted, sitting rooms,
sleeping compartments, smoking rooms
all with equipment more or less per-
feet according as the price. And cars
are reftted in this way and sold for
prices varying from 81, 800 to $4,000.
Very handsome and servicecable cars
have been built from the old east
aways," and the man of moderate
means can travel privately and COM
fortably in a home of his own. 1t is
an interesting evidence of American
manufacturing thrift and of the growth
Of wealth.

Peculiar Trees.

Of various sizes scattered here and

strength. These are not powders. They
are trees. No other place in the world

growth. The Falkland islands are ex-
posed TO strong polar wind which rem
1ers it impossible for trees to grow in

Denosited His STOLEN MONEY!,

about the strangest case that ever
came to my notice." remarked the
sheriff of Madison County, Indiana, to
the Louisville Courier-J Journal, "was
that of a young man who stole s., 500
and planted it with the purpose of sim
ply laying up in prison and coming out
that much to the good. This fellow
took the money from a grocery in broad
daylight, and was arrested a few hours
later without resistance. At the trial
he pleaded guilty, declined to accept
the services of a lawyer, also refused
to tell where he had hid the money,
and was sentenced to Imprisonment for
four years.
"As | was taking him down to the
train he asked me if l would go with
him to a certain street. He requested
1t as a favor and 1 did so. Arriving at
a shady spot of a somewhat unfre-
quented street he stopped down and
pulled up a loose brick in the pave
ment, under which was the $500 in
paper money, just as it had come out
of the bank.
What are you going to do with
thatT 1 asked, my first thought being
that he intended to return it to the man
from whom he had stolen it. OF course
1 had no authority in the matter, for
the reason that the money was his own
and sentence had been passed upon
him. Well, sir, that fellow insisted on
my going to the bank with him, and
there he deposited the $500, where it
remains to this day, drawing interest
and waiting his pleasure when he shall
have served sentence and be free to
enjoy the profits of his prison term.
Such cases are not uncommon"

Generous Diet for the Tropics.

Experience shows" says Maj. G. w.

ment, "that the American soldier serv-
ing in these islands needs the full army
ration, including the full allowance of
fresh beef; his health cannot be main
tanned without it. In addition, his ap-
petite apparently Graves sweets and
acids' In this connection he men
lions the demand for sauerkraut.
Without abundance of nutritious food,
he says, the health of an American can
not be maintained in the LuZcn eli
mate. The health of Filipinos living
on American foods, he says, is much
better than those living on native foods.
