An Ant For "A Pet,

One of the queerest little pets ever
seen is the tame ant belonging to Il we'll
known scientist. This man keeps tribes
Of ants In nests which he has made
himself and feeds them with honey or
sugar through tube that connects;
with the nests. One day he saw that
one Of the ants kept coming into the
tube TO eat up the honey in the glass
bulb at the end. When he took out the
cork that closed the bulb. the insect
came to look Tor the food and\he offer
cd it some honey Oh the point OF !,
needle. says the New York Tribune.
The ant Shrank back at FIRST. then
drew nearer feeling about with its All
tenn;e. until it reached the needle
Soon it learned to take the honey OFT
its keepers finger. although ants are
among the most limid OF living things
and Il new ouor or the least movement
outside their nests usually drives these
little insects away.
This ant is now SO tame that 1t quits
the bulb as soon rs the cork is remove d
and goes to iind the honey Oh the sci
entist's finger. When its meal IS over
it does not try to hurry away. hui
waits till its master lifts it on bris,l,
ami carries it back to its nest.

Keen the Balance Up.

1t has been truthfully said that any
distur bance of the even balance ofhealth
causes serious trouble. Nobody can be
too careful to keep this balance up.
When people begin to lose appetite, or to
get tired easily, the least imprudence
brings on sickness. weakness, or debili-
ty. The system needs tonic. Graves it,
and should not be denied it; and the
best tonic of which we have any know
ledge is Hoods Sarsaparilla. What this
medicine has done in keeping healthy
people healthy. in keeping up the even
balance OF health, gives it the same dis
tinction as preventive that it enjoys as
cure. Its early use has illustrated the
wisdom Of the old saying that stitch in
time saves nine. Take Hoods for appe-
tite, strength, and endurance. +Im,

HOUSE OF CORRECTION.
Superintendent Jesse MOOre's Report The
Prison 0verorowded-No Place
Fer The Insane.

Superintendent Moore, of the House of
Correction reported Thursday TO the
board of managers that there are now
522 prisoners, 4S6 of them males and SO
females. The cost of maintenance sis
8 l-l2 cent per capita. The revenue de-
rived from the various industries of the
prison was SLIP. 40 for the month.
Mr.. Moore stated that the prison was
overcrowded and that the presence of in
sane eonvicts not only take up room, but
they could be better treated and. cared
for at some other institution designed for
their especial care. These persons have
been committed 10 the institution by
magistrates, and the superintendent Is
anxious 10 have them transferred. He
referred especially 60 the case of John
Kelly, who was convicted OF vagrancy
and while serving his sentence, which
has long since expired was paTalyZed
and is now in the hospital. Though en-
titled to his freedom he is unable 10 leave
the institution and has become charity
patient.
The board expressed its opinion that
insane patients should not be committed
and that those already in the prison
should be removed. The question which
is bothering the board is TO find some
process by which it can relieve the prison
of this class of prisoners. The superin-
tennent was instructed TO see the State
Board of Charities about the disposition
of Kelly. Messrs. Hagner and Duncan
were appointed committee TO devise
some plan for the removal Of the insane
prisoners.
DIR, Charles X. Wells, who was elected
treasurer of the institution, assumed his
duties.
