Treatment OF Drunken Ants.

Lord Avebury inebriated fifty ants,
twenty-five from one nest and twenty
five from another. and put them all
into the nest from which one lot had
been taken. The inhabitants at once
took the helpless strangers and threw
them into the water, while those who
were citizens Of the nest were carried
tenderly away into remote corners to
recover from their festivity at leisure.

The lndiIn Duck Trick.

A little tin or earthen pan. or some
times half CCCOanut shell. supported
on three stones, is filled with water
on which is sprinkled a red powder
rendering it practically opaque. A lit.
tie duck of wood or porcelain is placed
upon the surface. where it at first
floats, but at the command of the per
former suddenly dives, remaining
submerged until again ordered to rise.
This very ingenious trick depends
upon the fact that in the bottom of the
vessel there is minute hole. through
which passes a hair. One end of this
is attached to the duck; the other re
mains at the disposal of the performer
and is attached by means of pellel
of wax, to his tom tom or to one of the
hands with which he beats it. When
he wishes the duck to dive he pulls the
hair; when he desires it to rise he re
lakes the pull. There is natural,
some amount of leakage through the
pinhole, and to cover this the perform
er takes care, when filing the pan, to
accidentally 90 spill a little water.
The ground being thus already wet.
ted, the fact that it gets a little more
is not noticed.-Chambers' Journal.

and instructive, For half a mile they
filled tie Avenue from curb to curb. They
were headed by Col. Ed. Il. Jones, Chief
Of Staff TO Department Commander
Loomis, who was half covered by the huge
sunflower which he wore upon his breast.
Every man Of the kansans in line wore
the twin to it. Col. Eugene Ware, Com
missioner of Pensions, was there, wearing
the big blOomer presented to him by the
Whippo0rwills.
Commander LoOmis proudly headed the
ranks of the Kansans on his big black
charger, himself and his horse wearing the
golden insignia. The nearly LOCO Kan
sans in line had three bands from their
own State-the Canaan Band, which was
the official G. A. II. band, the Sterling
Military Band, and Hays City Band The
Modocs, the greatest singing club in the
United States, was there also. 1t was a
magnificent support, and Commander
Loomis looked the pride he felt. Along

while from the President it got special
notice, and the CommaA ler-in- Chief gave
the Department Of Kan 5 an extra salute
as it proudly fled past the reviewing

The Kansas reception to the National
Encampment was as unique as anything
could well be made. The receiving line
began at the New YOrkfAvenue entrance,
and serpentined around 5n(a continuous
line through corridors, dining room. more
corridors, into the par,or where Mrs.
Emma Forter, Department president. and
her staff. ended the line which Department
Commander LoOmis ands his Staff began
nearly a quarter of mile away. and the
5000 callers ran the gauntlet of this for
midable line throughout four hours on
Tuesday evening.
Great is Kansas, and great are her peo-

achieved fame for his State and for him

be an object lesson that can never be
forgotten. 1t ought to make him Gov

FEW PEOPLE REALIZE
The Danger in That Common Dis
ease, Catarrh.

Because catarrhal diseases are 80 COM
mon and because catarrh is nGc rapidly
fatal, people too often overlook and neglect
it until some incurable ailment develops
as result of the neglect.
The inflamed condition of the membrane
of the nose and throat makes a fertile soil
for the germs Of Pneumonia and Consump-
ton, in fact catarrhal pneumonia and ca
tarrhal consumption are the most common
forms of these dreaded diseases which an
nually cause more than one quarter OF the
deaths in this country.
Remedies for catarrh are almost as
numerous as catarrh sufferers but very
few have any actual merit as a cure, the
only good derived being simply a tempor-
airy relief.
There is, however, q very effective rerpe
dy recently discovered which is rapidly be
coming famous for its great value in re-
lieving and permanently curing all forms
of catarrhal diseases, whether located in
the head, throat, lungs or stomach.
This new catarrh cure is principally
composed Of q gum derived from the
Eucalyptus tree, and this gum possesses
extraordinary healing and antiseptic prop
critics. 1t is taken internally in the form
OF q lozenge or tablet, pleasant to the
taste and SO harmless that little children
take them with safety and benefit.
Eucalyptus oil and the bark are some
times used but are not so convenient nor
SO palatable as the gum.
Undoubtedly the best quality is found
in Stuart's Catarrh Tablets which may
be found in any drug store and any
catarrh sufferer who has tried douches, in
halers and liquid medicines, will be sur
prised at the rapid improvement after n
few days use OF Stuart's Catarrh Tablets
which are composed of the gum Of the
Eucalyptus tree, combined with other anti
septics which destroy the germs of catarrh
in the blood and expel the catarrhal poison
from the system.
DIR. Ramsdell in speaking of Catarrh
and its cure says: AFTER many expert
ments | have given up the idea of curing
catarrh by the use Of inhalers, washes,
salves or liquid medicines. / have always
| had the best results from Stuart's Catarrh
Tablets; the red gum and other valuable
antiseptics contained in these tablets make
| them, in my opinion, far superior to any
Of the numerous catarrh remedies so ex.
| tensively advertised. The fact that
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets are sold in drug
stores, under protection Of trademark,
should not prejudice conscientious physi.
clans against them because their un.
doubted merit and harmless character
make them q remedy which every catarrl
sufferer may use with perfect safety and
the prospect Of permanent cure.
For colds in the head, for coughs, ca.
tarrhal deafness and catnrrh Of the stom.
ach and liver, people who have tried them
say that Stuart's Catarrh Tablets are q
household necessity.

MRS. RoosEvELT's RECEPTION.
The reception that probably interested
the Delegates to the National Encamp-

The great white marble palace was
thrown open for the occasion to the 900
delegates of the women's patriotic organ

dressed. Mrs. Roosevelt shook hands with
every caller, and for many had pleasant

Our Money orders.

The Money Order system of the Govern
ment is not 50 very old, datiag back to
1863, but it is now so much a part Of our
daily life that very few remember when
we had no Money Order system. The
origin is comparatively recent. During
the war Of the rebellion the soldiers de-
sired to send money home, but being out
of the range of banks, resOrted to green
backs, which they put Loose in their let
tiers. Entirely too many of these letters
were stolen IN transit. DIR. Mcdonald,
then connected with the Postofice Depart
ment, invented a money order, nothing like
as good as the present one, but boon to
the soldiers, who could thus send money
home in comparative safety. When DIR.
Mcdonald died, quite recently, he left to
the PostOftice Department the sum Of
$1,000 to be applied to the improvement
Of the money-order system. 1t has been
suggested that DIR. McDonald's portrait
be printed on the money orders as a trib-
ute to his inventive genius, and Post
master-General Payne is quite seriously
considering the proposition.

teered for service in the Spanish-American
war, and was rejected on account of age,
but was detailed as carpenter in the Quar-

and being informed by the landlady that
surprise awaited him, went to his room,
and upon turning up the light he found his
brother and nephew, who had met most
unexpectedly during the day, occupying
bed in his room. A happy reunion fol-
lowed. The brothers had not met for
many years, and neither knew that the
other intended to come to Washington on
this occasion. The nephew had not seen
A. ]. Wells for a number OF years, nor his
uncle, A. NJ. Wells, since 1868.

Serenaded.

The National Tribune feels very highly
complimented by the many serenades
given it by the visiting bands during En-
campment week. Most conspicuous, if
not the largest, was the National Asso-
ciation of Civil War Musicians, which
headed the grand parade on Wednesday.
The leaders in this organization are John
G. Joss, 17Sth Ohio, Chief Bugler; w. w.
Richardson, 104th Ohio, Drummer; James
NJ. Knisely, SD Ohio, all members of An
drew Crawford Post, New Philadelphia,

the Kentucky campaign of 1862, Gettys-
burg campaign Of 1868, and the Atlanta
campaign of 1864, and the tenor drum
went Oil the march to the sea and through
the Carolinas in 18G4-'6J.

other serenading band that does the great
keystone State credit is the Germania
