bit through the thumb by the dog
which was then shot and killed. Pour
is an oysterman who does not care to

An Excellent Combination.

The pleasant method and beneficial
effects of the well known remedy,
SYRUP OF FIGS, manufactured by the
CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP Co., illustrate
the value Of obtaining the liquid laxa-
tive principles of plants known to be
incidentally laxative and presenting
themi in the form most refreshing to the
taste and acceptable to the system. It
is the one perfect Strengthening laxa-
tive. cleansing the system effectually,
dispalling colds, headaches and fevers
gently yet promptly and enabling one
to overcome habitual constipation per-
~manentiy. Its perfect freedom from
every Objectionable quality and sub
stance, and its acting on the kidneys,
liver and bowels, without weakening
or irritating them, make it the ideal
laxative.

Sewing Done by Ants.

Ants are credited with so many mar
vclous accomplishments that new one
must be-rCmarkahle to the noteworthy
Mr.. +. G.. Green of Ceylon, an authori'
" 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 rent In their nest.
Some leaves which had been fastened
together by the ants We're separated by
Mr.. Green. and 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 ncighbor-
hood, and those used were obtained
from a nest at some distance. This de-
libcrate use Of a naturally formed web
as Il sewing thread is as astonishing as
any instance of the Intelligence Of ants
yet observed.

Warts are curious things. They
come and 20 mystcrously, although
their going Is frequently marked by
eNasperating delays, and there are al
most us many infallible cures as there
are warts, the only trouble with these
cures being that they are useless when
applied to the particular wart You hap
pen to have. They are only good for
other peoples.
I'm my opinion said clubman who
was discussing the subject with u
friend one day, "a wart Is merely the
outward correspondence of some men
tai eXcresccnce. Get rid of that, and
ii goes away.
Lot me give you n bit of my own
experience" he continued. Last year
| went to 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. 1t
only grew larger
well, in the excitement of preparing
for the trip and of the journey itself
forgot all about my wart, and when
looked for it about six weeks later it
had vanished without leaving the
slightest mark. l simply forgot it, and
it had no mental condition to feed on.
l see you have one on the back of your
hand. Forget all about it for n few
weeks, and it will 20 away of ITSELF
Yes" said the other clubman shrug-
ging his shoulders, but | cant afford
to take n trip to Europe for the sake or
curing one wart"

The visitor to the Falkland Islands
sees Il 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 it 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 n strong polar wind which rem
ders it impossible for trees TO grow In
the proper form. Nature has consc-
quently adapted herself TO the prevail
Ing conditions and produced this
strange form of plant life. These civ

quite devoid of grain and it Is next
to impossible to cut them up and utilize
them for fuel.
