ing and Playing.
The thousands who have witnessed
the skilIful acting of William Gillette
and the mastery construction of his
Secret Service Sherlock Holmes and
other plays will be astonished to
know, says the New York World, that
right at the pinnacle of his success he
has grown tired and bored with the
whole business and wants to be sole
actor in the cast of a drama in real
life, which might be called The Her
mitage.'
Il never want to write another
play" said Mr.. Gillette to the Chicago
correspondent of the World. q didn't
want to write Sherlock Holmes, but I

the same thing over again benumbs
my mind. There was a play of nine

nightmare to me,

acting before me, touring the country
this year and going to London next
year Then l want to quit. Here is
my idea of happiness: A little place
in the country-not what is called a
gentleman's place but a small home
"A cottage with plenty of yard, trees,
chickens, dogs, a COW and horse.
There | would be content to live and
not know how the rest Of the world
is moving. The horse and dogs would
be companions. The horse would not
be high-sririted, blooded beast but
sedate, honest fellow, who would go
along with the reins loose on his back.
Then l want flowers and fruit and
would enjoy gardening, long walks.

Washington, Jan. 9.-During the
Legislative secession the senate had un-
der consideration the much mooted
canteen question in connection with
the army reorganization bill. The
senate committee, in effect, restored
the provision for post exchange Or
canteen, which had been stricken out
of the bill by the house. For nearly
five hours the senate discussed the
committee amendment. Mr.. Gallinger
quoted many eminent authorities to
prove that the use of alcoholic stimu-
Iants among men in ana out of armies
was most doletoriou5 Mr.. SeweII
said the adoption of the canteen had
been distinctly beneficial and beneh-
cent to the old soldiers.

The visitor to the Falkland islands
sees a number of what appear to be
weather beaten, moss covered powders
of various sizes scattered here and
there. On attempting TO turn one over
he is surprised to find that 1t is anchor
ed TO the ground by roots of great
strength. These are not powders. They
are trees. No other place in the world
can show such popularity of forest"
growth. The Falkland islands are ex-
posed to strong polar wind which rem
ders 1t impossible for trees TO grow in
the proper form. Nature has conse-
quently adapted herself to the prevail
ing conditions and produced this
strange form of plant life. These civ
ing stones" as they are called, are
quite devoid of grain" and it is next
TO impossible to cut them up and utilize
them for fuel.

Question Answered.

Yes, August Flower still bas the
largest sale OF any medicine in the
civilized world. Your mothers and
grandmothers never thought of using
anything else for indigestion or bill
iousness, Doctors we're scarce, and
they seldom heard of appendicitis,
nervous prostration or heart failure,
etc. They used August Flower to
clean out the system and stop fer
mentation of undigested food, regu-
late the action ot the liver, stimulate
the nervous and organic action of
the system, and that is all they took
when feeling dull and bad with head
aches and other aches. You only
need few doses of Green's August
Flower, in liquid form, to make you
satisfied there is nothing serious the
matter with you. Get Green's Prize

Warts are curious things. They
come and go mysteriously, although
their going is frequently marked by
exasperatlng delays. and there are al
most as many infallible cures as there
are warts. the only trouble with these
cures being that they are useless when
applied 20 the particular wart you hap
pen TO have. They are only good for
other peoples.
"In my opinion said a clubman who
was discussing the subject with a
friend one day, "a wart is merely the
outward correspondence of some men
tai excrescence. Get rid of that, and
II goes away.
let me give you bit Of my own
experience" he continued. Last year
| went 20 Europe. For about three
years had had n wart on my little fin
ger, on which | had tried everything |
could hear of. but without effect. Ii
only grew larger.
"Well, in the excitement of preparing
for the trip and of the journey Itself l
forgot all about my wart, and when l
looked for IL about six weeks later II
had vanished without leaving the
slightest mark. ] simply forgot It, and
II had no mental condition to feed on.
see you have one on the back of your
hand. Forget all about 1t for few
weeks. and it Will go away of itself"
Eyes" said the other clubman, shrug-
ging his shoulders. but | can't afford
TO take a trip to Europe for the sake of
curing one wart."

Preservation M Fresh Fruits

According 10 the state department
advices, the German consul general at
Sydney reports that the agricultural de-
partment of Victoria has recently made
experiments with reference 10 the pres
ervatlon of fresh fruits. Pears and
peaches packed in the ord nary boxes
for shipment We're subjected TO the va
pors of hydrocyanic gas. The fruits
were then taken out of the boxes and
separately wrapped In tissue paper.
Some of them were again treated with
the gas. and the whole lot was placed
In n dryroom at a temperature OF 40
degrees and kept there for seven weeks.
When the fruits We're taken out, they
were In an excellent state of preserva-
tion, especially those that had been
treated with the gas second time. Not
only the pears. but the peaches, felt
hard TO the touch, retained their fresh
appearance and showed no decayed
spots, as the germs had all been killed
by the gas.

Sewing Done by Ants.

Ants are credited with so many mar
velous accomplishments that new one
must be remarkable TO the noteworthy.
Mr.. +. G. Green Of Ceylcn, an authUri-
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 n rent i'm their nest.
Some leaves which had been fastened
together by the ants were separated by
Mr. Green, and i'm 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 n nest at some distance. This de-
liberate use of naturally formed web
as n sewing thread Is as astonishing as
any instance of the intelligence of ants
yet observed.
