Amazon Ant Gardens.

DR.. E. Ule contributes to Engler's
Jahrbuch supplement 3O some inter-
esting observations on can't gardens"
In the Amazon region, where they
abound on a large number Of goody
plants. They are generally spherical in
form and about the size Of walnut.
They are formed by several species Of
ant, which appear to collect the seeds
of many different plants and to sow
them in these nests, covering up the
seedlings with humus when they begin
to terminate. In the structure Of these
"ant epiphytes" the foliage and the
roots display characters which espe-
cially adapt them for the situation in
which they grow and promote also the
protection of the ants themselves in
their nest. Quite a number Of the
epiphytes were found as denizens Of
the ant gardens and nowhere else.

Pat and the Jockey.

Pat went to a race course the other
day and fell in with number Of sport
ing friends who were betting on the
races. He was urged to bet, but stead
tasty refused until he saw two of his
friends win a large sum on one Of the
races. Finally, after much urging. he
put haif a crown on a horse, fnom
which moment he became deeply inter
ested.
AS the horses came past the Judges
box Pats fingers clutched the back Of
the seat and his eyes were wide with
excitement. The horse on which he
had bet finished sixth. Without a
word. but with look Of deep disgust.
he got up and hurried down to the
paddock where the jockeys were. Call
ing the youngster who had ridden that
particular horse aside, Pat inquired in
deeply injured tones:

Snake Bite and whisky.

There Is not on record an authenti-
Gated case of snake bite cured by
whisky. Plenty Of individuals bitten
while under the influence Of liquor
have died, and large amounts of alco'
hol have failed to save life. in many
cases. Only about one in six Of those
bitten by venomous snakes dies. The
remaining five are cured by anything
they happen to have taken. Stimua-
ton is excellent. but the giving Of
whisky to drunkenness by lowering the
resistive vitality has undoubtedly been
a causative factor in many deaths sup
posedly from snake bite that would
otherwise not have occurred.-Ameri-

Aim Straight for Us in Our New quarters
o. The Dee and the Jackdaw.

In Sayeruake forest once witnessed
O very pretty little scene. I noticed a
doe lying down by herself in a grassy
hollcw, and as passed her at dis
lance of about fifty yarts it struck me
as singular that she kept her head so
low down that could only see the top
of it on q level with her back. Walk
ing round to get better sight | saw
q jackdaw standing on the turf before
her, very busily pecking at her face.
With my glass was able to watch her
movements very closely. He pecked
round her eyes, then her nostrils. her
throat and in act every part OF her
face, and, Just as q man when Icing
shaved turns his face this way and
that under the gentle guiding touch OF
the BARRIERS fingers and lifts up his
chin to allow the razor to pass beneath
it, so did the doe raise and lower ard
turn her face about to enable the bird
to examine and reach every part with
his bill. Finally the claw left the face
and, moving round, jumped on the
deer's shoulders and began minute
search in that part. Having finished
this, he jumped on to the head and
pecked at the forehead and round the
bases of the ears. The pec:inS done,
he remained for some seconds sitting
perfectly still, looking very pretty with
the graceful red head for stand, the
does long ears thrust out on either
side of him.-Birds and Man.

The Biggest Not the Best.

A New York dealer who has ham
died shiploads of fruit said recently:
"It is often amusing to see men, wom-
en- and children picking out, as they be.
lieve the choicest fruit at the market
stands. If there are n half dozen
large oranges within sight, they will
have them, even if it is necessary to
overturn all the rest in the box or bar
rel and this is true with most all other
varieties that are sold by the piece or
dozen. They Invariably get the poorest
specimens Of the whole crop and yet
are not aware Of it. Very rarely you
will find q person who is Il good judge
who will at once size up the heaviest
oranges. lemons or bananas, regardless
Of size, and they capture the choicest
fruit"

owing to say about Mr.. Soderstr ON s

The report has been circulated

culated by some campaign liar. for no

Remember This.

One thing the voters of Kansas don't
want to forget this fall is that the rail.
roads of this state are capitalized for
$40. 900, 900, and we are expected to
pay them rates high enough to furnish
their stock and bondholders interest on
this vast sum. while they pay taxes on
only 500. 900, 900. Bear in mind, too,
that only one million of the entire
$40, 900. 900 is owned by residents OF
Kansas. In letting the railroads off
with a valuation of only one. ninth what
they actually own. we are paying the
taxes of these foreign capitalist, That
they are better able to pay these taxes
than we are. is tn. opinion of Mr.. Grad
dock, the democratic and populist can
didate for governor; and if be is elected
he proposes to see to it that they pay
their share of the states expenses. A
vote for Craddock is vote agains,
putting up to pay the taxes of these
nonresident plutocrats for them

ollngg Plants

Every farmer knows that
ONE plants grow better than
,thers. Soil may be the same
md seed may seem the same
out some plants are weak and
3therS strong.
And that's the way with
children. They are like young
plants. Same food, same home,
same care but some grow big
md strong while others stay
.,lnall and weak.
SCOTS Emulsion offers an
.csy way out of the difficulty.
child weakness often means
tarvation, not because of lack
f food, but because the food
.oes not feed.
SCOTS Emulsion really feeds
id gives the child growing
strength.
Whatever the cause Of weak
ness and failure to grow

it and set the matter right.
