sewing Done b. And.

Ants are credited with so many mar
velous accomplishments that new one
must be remarkable to the noteworthy.
Mr. e. G. Green of Ceylen, an authori-
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 rent in their nest.
Some leaves which had been fastened
together by the ants were separated by
Mr.. Green, and in a 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. A 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 nest at some distance. This de-
liberate use Of a naturally formed web
as sewing thread is as astonishing as
any instance Of the intelligence Of ants
yet observed.

san Sets Twice : Day.

"A very curious astronomical phe'
nomenon occurs In the heavens at g
certain time of tie year, and which
can only be witnessed by standing in
the parish churchyard Of Leek. in
Staffcrdshire, England.
From that position the top Of a
mountain known as the Cloud breaks
the line Of sight and fully intercepts
your view Of the setting Of the sun.
This mountain Is six miles distant, as
the crow flies, from the town Of Leek,
and owing to its peculiar formation
causes the sun, when It has entered
that sign Of the zodiac known as Can
Ger. which happens when we are about
half way through the year, to produce
the strange effect of setting twice
daily.
The first time that it sets the town
sinks into darkness, and the inhabit-
ants light up their houses and shops
IN the usual way; presently dawn suf-
fuses over the town, clear daylight
follows and artificial lights are put
out.
At the second setting Of the sun
darkness sets in for good. This phe-
Aomenon continues for some days.
The head and shoulders Of the dis
tant mountain intervene just at the
juncture when the sun at the first set
ting drops behind the top or head Of,
the mountain. There he hides for some
time and energies again from behind
just below the head and throws day
light out upon the locality once more,
when he again sinks behind the noun
tain's shoulders and finally sets behind
the horizon. STRAY Stories.

Novel Chinese WheeIbarrow.

Cinnamon have more castles even
than the East Indians. They say you
never find one Chinaman in a low con-
dition of life but you will find him en-
ploying another Chinaman In a st;ll
lower condition.
The small Chinese farmer employs a
servant, to whom he is lord and mas
ter This mental is compelled to serve
him in any capacity that may be re-
quired. For instance, when the small
Chinese farmer takes a pig to market
he does not do it as the Irishman does
by driving the pig along the road No.
He first kills the pig or makes his
"hired man" do 1t.
Then the pig is carefully packed on
one side Of single wheeled vehicle
something like a wheelbarrow. The
weight Of the proprietor may just bal
ance that Of the pig, but If it is greater
than that of the pig then a few bowl
ders are added to even things up. The
whole apparatus is then wheeled along
the road by the ''hired man. the CHI
nese proprietor meanwhile placidly
smoking his pipe.

Fa1noua LucIl,y Stone.

"A good deal has been heard Of tho
ella Fail, !" or stone Of destiny, which
Is placed under the seat of the corona
tfon chair in Westminster abbey, but
few people realize the extreme antiqii-
ty of this uninteresting looking, rough
gray block. It was brought to Ireland
about 1900 B. G. by the Tuatha-de-Da-
mans, a mysterious eastern race, who
conquered Ireland at that period. No
one is quite clear as to their identity,
but many savants suppose them to
have been ChaIdeans, Persians or Phm-
nicianS. Those races were certainly,
highly civilized, even SO long ago as the
date mentioned. They attached the
greatest possible value to the stone and
used to crown all their monarchs on it.
Three Of the. Tuatha-de-D anaan
queens regnant who sat upen the stone
Of destiny .rejoiced in the curious name
Of Fodhla, Banda and Fire, the last
name that is creeping into use again Of
late after long eclipse. In the sixth
century Fergus, king Of Scots, an
Irishman by descent, borrowed the
stone for his coronation at Scone and
stfroze on to it'' when he had It. It
never went back to Ireland, and many
historians date the commencement of
the distressful country's woes from
that loss. Edward / of England car
ried of the stone from ScOne and
placed it in Westminster abbey, where
1t still remains. Modern Society.

There is no greater revealer Of char

irst thing that strikes us in a stranger
DR. in a new acquaintance. If it has
that spontaneous ring Of truth that no
training can impart, we recognize It's
appeal for confidence. Some voices
have the Jar OF falsehood and are as
full Of warning as the hiss of a SER

to be regarded as the index Of charac-
ter. To speak promptly and positively
Is generally to act promptly and posi-
lively, to speak politely is to act po-
htely, and to speak grufiy and rudely
b good way to make rude action easy.

Process Too Expensive.


Warts are curious things. They
come and go mysteriously, although
their going is frequently marked by
exasperating 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 to the particular wart you hap
pen to have They are only good for
other peoples.
I'm 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,
tel excrescence. Get rid of that, and
It goes away.
''Let me give you bit OF nay own
experience" he continued. Last year
/ went to Europe. For about three
years had had a wart on my little I'm
ger, on which had tried everything l
could hear of, but without effect. 1t
only grew larger.
"Well, in the excitement Of preparing
for the trip and Of the journey itself I
forgot all about my wart, and when /
SOoked for it about six weeks later it
had vanished without leaving the
slightest mark. simply forgot it, and
it had no mental condition to feed on.
/ see you have one on the back of your
hand. Forget all about it for a few
weeks. and it will go away of itself. .
