Ants on "Horaehack."

A French explorer, M. Charles
Nielsen, in travelling through Siam
observed species of small gray ants
which were new to him.
These ants were much engaged in
travelling. They lived in damp
places and went in troops.
70 his surprise, he noticed among
them from time to time an occa-
sional ant which was much larger
than the others and moved at a
much swifter rate, and each of these
larger ants, NJ. Meissen saw, always
carried one of the gray ants on its
back. This discovery led him to
watch their movements closely.
He soon saw that while the main
body of gray ants was always on
foot they were accompanied by at
least one Of their own sort mounted
on one Of these larger ants. He
mounted and detached himself now
and then from the line, rode rap
idly to the head, came swiftly back
to the rear and seemed to be the
commander Of the expedition.
The explorer was satisfied from
his observation that this species Of
ant employs a larger ant possibly
drone Of the same species, though
he had no means of proving this
as we employ horses to ride upon,
though scarcely more than one ant
in each colony seems to be provided
with mount.

then taken off the model and united

These Coverings For Little Hands
Made In Marvellous Variety.
s'They seem like simple enough
little thing" said a man acquainted
with the trade in infants mittens.
''but as matter Of fact they are
made in simply hundreds of varie-
ties.
s6There are mittens to suit every
purse, every season in which they
are worn and every taste or fancy.
"Wool is the material of which
the greater number are made, and
white is the almost universally worn
color by the very young.
ssThere are mittens made of silk
and wool, costing little more than
the all wooden mittens. In these we
begin to get colors, as pink and
blue, though You would find, for
that matter, some nice red mittens
among the tiny ones of all wool.
Next come mittens Of all silk, COM
monty all white. Then there are
mittens Of mercerized silk, these in
gray and in brown as well as in
white. The Angora mittens are.
among the most costly made. They
are made all white and also in grays
and browns. And there are mittens
about as costly as the Angora that
are of goats hair or alpaca on the
outside and lined with Angora.
Infants mittens, as they are
generally considered, include nit
tens for children up to three years.
For these older children especially
there are little mittens Of suede,
fleece lined and silk lined, and suede
lnittens with fur tops.

end to the variety cf infants nit

the demand for them, for wherever

The Mistress.

Count Fersen, Marie Antoinette's
devoted servant, tells a pretty story
which shows the charm words can
add to deeds. It was when the royal
family of France had been turned
back at Varennes in their vain eff
fort to escape-turned back toward
Paris, where the mob even then was
clamoring for their lives. They stop
ped to rest at the house of Nine. de
Lagny, a royalist, who did all she
could for their comfort. Madame
waited at table herself, serving the
king and queen with swift and ST.
lent zeal.
The poor queen in the midst of
her despair noticed what had been
done for her and hers. "Where is
the mistress of the house?" said
she. 81 should like to see her and
to thank her.

responded Nine. de Lagny simply,
"until your majesty entered it."

CIGARS AND BOXES.
Cedar Now So Scarce That Other
Woods Arc Used For Cheap Weeds.

Cedar Now So Scarce That Other
Woods Arc Used For Cheap Weeds.
Cedar boxes are not used as ex-
tensively now as they used 10 be, !"
said well known tobacco man,
"and the reason for this is clear
enough when we come to think OF
it. Cedar is not as plentiful now
as it once was. Time was when all
the cigars shipped from Cuba to
this country and cigars Of home
manufacture were packed in cedar
boxes. But this is not the case now.
"Cedar, of course, is the best
wood in the world for this purpose.
It gives a pleasant odoF and even a
good flavor to the cigar and keeps
out the various insects and worms
that are inclined to burrow into to-
bacco. Insects will have nothing to
do with cedar. The wood is too
strong. For this reason boxes made
OF material Of this kind have been
of vast value to the cigar mahufac-
turers. | do not mean that cedar is
not used at all now, for as matter
of fact cedar is extensively used.
All cigars of the finer and more
costly grade made in this country
and elsewhere are packed in cedar
boxes. This is one Of the require
ments Of the trade.
"But when it comes to the cheap
er grades cheaper material is used.
It may look like cedar, but it isn't.
It is an imitation. 1t serves the
purpose. The wood does not de-
tract at all from the brand of cigars
packed in this way. They would be
no better if packed in boxes gold
lined and highly spiced and per-
fumed. They would smell sweeter;
that's all. Stained poplar and other
light woods of sufficient fineness of
grain, and even stained oak, are
sometimes used for the purpose.
But the cedar box is not nearly so
numerous now as in the halcyon
days, and. the time may come when
this kind OF boxes will not be known.
