One of the queerest little pets ever
seen is the tame ant belonging to well
known scientist. This man keeps tribes
of ants in nests which he has made
himself and feeds them with honey or
sugar through a 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 for the food, and he Offer
ed it some honey on the point of
needle, says the New York Tribune.
The ant shrank back at first, then
drew nearer, feeling about with its an
tenna, until it reached the needle.
Soon 1t learned to take the honey Off
its keepers finger, although ants are
among the most timid of living things,
and a new odor 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 as the cork is removed
and goes to find the honey on the sci
entist's finger. When its meal is over,
it does not try to hurry away, but
waits till it's master lifts it on bristle
and carries it back to its nest.

In Life and Sport on the Pacific
Coast" Horace A. Vachell relates one
of his narrow escapes from friends
bullet: MY cousin and l had been
camping and hunting for several days
In a sort of paradise valley. One day,
during a long ride on horseback, we
had seen great many rattlesnakes
and killed a few, an exceptional ex-
perience. That night my cousin woke
up and saw, by the light of the moon, a
big RATHER crawling across my chest.
He lay for a moment fascinated, hor-
ror struck, watching the sinuous curves
of the reptile.
'Then he quietly reached for his six
shooter, but he could not see the rep
tiles head, and he moved nearer, noise
lessly, yet quickly, dreading some
movement on my part that should pre-
cipitate the very thing he dreaded, and
then he saw that it was not a snake at
alEonly the black and yellow stripe of
my blanket, which gently rose and fell
as l breathed. Had he fired-well, it
might have been bad for me, for he
confessed that his hand shook"

Lord southey's GuiIIotine.

The most eccentric action of an eccen-
trio man was Lord Southey's cool ar
rangement for suicide by means of a
guillotine. He had a magnificent one
erected in the drawing room Of his
house in the Rue du Luxembourg at
Paris. The machine was of ebony in
laid with gold and silver, the frame
work carved with artistic skill, the
knife, sharp as a razor, was of polished
and ornamented steel. Preparing for
death, his lordship had his hair cut
close, and, clothed in a robe of white
silk, he kneeled upon the platform
under the knife before a mirror and
pressed the spring which should release
the knife. But the spring failed to
work, and the would be suicide decided
to give the guillotine to a museum in
stead of making a second attempt to
end his life. 1t is said that he made
an annual pilgrimage to see the guillo-
tine until the end of his life.

The Beginning of the Air Brake.

Incidents of trifing character have in
fluenced the career of many successful in
ventors. E. !. Manville was a hard.
working machinist, living in Wat Tbury,
Connecticut, when one day, he heard a
woman complaining because she had
pricked her finger with pin. A pin
that would not prick fingers, he thought,
would have a ready sale. A week later
he had worked out the safety pin, aud
within FIVE years his invention had made
him rich. Carlos French, another Con-
necticut mechanic, in the course OF rail-
way journey, noticed the Earring and
iolting of the car, and tell to thinking
how they could be overcome. The prob
lem kept him awake nights for two
years, but in the end he solved it so sue
cessfully that his car spring is now used
on all the railroads of the land. George
Westinghouse was led, in somewhat
similar manner, to invent the air brake.
He was the son of a manufacturer, and
possessed a marked mechanical bent.
Once he was in railroad collision, the
result of brakes failure to do its work.
He Immediately started to devise a
brake that would operate more quickly,
and with greater certainty, than the ones
then in use, and, like Carlos French, he
was completely successful in his efforts.
His air brake brought him great wealth,
and for thirty years he has constantly
added to his fortune by inventing new
devices OF his own, and buying those oil
other inventors. The result, in life saw
ing, has been simply enormous Sue

was appealed to for justice, but he
quietly introduced a new move. He did
not feel, be said, that it was his place to
decide the controversy, the point in
question was so fine that he did not
want to assume the responsibility ct adj
| iusting it. But he informed the disap-
| pointed ones that in the newspaper office
| of which he was part owner, there was
a board of arbitration before which dis
putes of this nature could be laid and a
iair unbiased decision received. He sug
gested this plan to the interested parties
and with the simplicity and trust of little
children they approved, and so the
gentlemen from New York who had bet,
the stakeholder with the money, care
lessly packed in a travelling bag, and
Meehan, the racer, who had disgraced
his profession by making an unfair start,
took waiting carriage and were driven
to the depot in time for the O'Clock
train south. They were met there by
Miller, who, curiously enough, had fore
warned his friends" that he had an i'm
portant race on hand and must 60 on
that train. He pro ested loudly against
the unfair means employed to beat him,
and bid farewell to his country friends
with note OF sadness in his voice, prom
ising to return in few days and arrange
another race with the same parties. The
two sprinters, and the gentlemanly visi-
tors entered the train together and went
away, doubtless feeling grieved that any
unpleasantness should have ma1red the
occasion.
The amount of money they took with
them can only be conjectured. 1t is
conservatively put at $1,000, while there
are those who assert that it was nearer
$4,000, and it probably is somewhere be-
tween these figures. One thing is certain
it was the most successful bunco game
ever worked in these parts, and those
who were its victims make the proven
bal thirty cents look, in comparison,
like cart wheel.
When the Lyndonville crowd wendell
their way homeward the joyousness OF
few hours ago had given place to an APP
parent sense of vague unrest. The abso-
lutte confidence in their ''cinch" had
d windled into the fragment Of a hope
that the board" might decide in their
favor, and their golden trumpets hung
idly at their sides. When they reached
their native heath. the trumpets were

Humor has been credited with the
saving of many things, but perhaps
never before has ship been saved by
its judicious application. In a great
storm many years ago ships crew
were all at prayers, when boy burst
into a fit of violent laughter. Being re-
proved for his i'll timed mirth and asked
the reason for it, he said, "Why, was
laughing to think what kissing the
boatswain's red nose will make when it
comes in contact with the water" This
ludicrous remark set the crew laugh
ing, inspired them with new spirits,
and by great exertion they brought
the vessel safely into port.-Liverpool

Many Of the negro superstitions in
Kentucky are quite interesting. An
old philosopher told me with great
gravity: IF you want peppahs to grow,
you must git mad. My old oman an
me had a spat, an l went right out
an planted my peppahs, an they come
right up" Still another saying Is that
peppers to prosper must be planted
by a redheaded or by high tempered
person.
The negro also says that one never
sees a jaybird on Friday, for the bird
visits his satanic majesty to pack kin
ding" on that day. The three signs
In which negroes place implicit trust
are the well known ones of the ground
hogs appearing above ground on the
I'd of February, that hoe must not be
carried through house or death will
follow and that potatoes must be plant
ed in the dark of the moon as we'll as
all vegetables that ripen in the ground
and that corn must be planted in the
light of the moon.

Dear Sir: Perhaps you are going to
paint your house, and don't believe in
Devoe. Well make you an offer:
Paint halt your house lead and oil the
other halt Devoe lead and zinc.
In three years the lead and oil half will
be hungry for paint; the Devoe half will
turn water as well as when new.
If not, our agent will stand by this:
"Ifyou have any fault to find with this
paint, either now in the painting or here
after in the wear, tell your dealer about
it.
"We authorize him to do what is right
at our expense"
Devoe lead and zinc holds color better
than lead turns water twice as long.
Yours truly,
