strange Cures for disease.

There are villages near the Univer-
sity of Oxford where no notion of
medical science has penetrated, and
where charms are the only recog
nized cure for disease. A woman
who has lately been lecturing in the
neighborhood on sanitation found
that whooping cough was always
treated by spider. The spider was
sewn into a piece of muslin, and
hung on the curtain rod, and the
death of the spider meant the end
of the cough. A few weeks ago a
child was seized with the illness, and
the doctor ordered ''poultices on the
chest" When he returned he found
that the mother had carefully laid
the poultices on the oak chest which
stood by the bedside. The remedy
appeared to her perfectly natural

coolIy appropriated the broken shell
of a cocoanut for this purpose.
A careful study of these singular
land crustaceans, as well as of all the
other fauna of the Maldive and Lac
cadive archipelagoes, was recently
made by Messrs. Gardner, Borradaile
and Cooper, well-known British nat
uraIists, the last named taking no less
than IS dredgings in five different
atolls.
One reason why they studied these
Oceanic island groups SO carefully was
because there seems to be strong evil

of land connection between India and

ANTS ARE HYPNo1IsTs.
Their Doctors Are said to Give Mag
netic Treatment to AtIing Mem
hers of Their Mounds.

That ants doctor their sick by hyp-
notism and magnetism is proved by
observation. An ardent student tells
how he witnessed what may be termed
a seance in medical science among
ants. He saw several of these little
creatures emerge from the hill and
noticed that there were some among
them which were weak and emaeiated
in fact. They were accom-
panied by healthy members of the
community, and all made their way
toward a distant mound.
On following their movements
through a glass the observer saw on
this mound big and sturdy ant, which
made some motions in the direction of
the advancing invalids. The latter
went up the mound, one by one, and
submitted themselves to treatment.
This consisted in the physician ant
passing his feelers over the head and
body of the patient in manner dis
tinctly suggestive of the hypnotizing
of nerves and muscles practiced by
human doctors. Every one went
through the treatment, then the pa
tients went back, and the doctor
marched off in the opposite direction.

That ctms perchance our neighbor way
The fretting worry, secret pain
That may be his from day to day?
Then let no idle word of ours

What know we of temptations deep
That hover round him like the night,
What bitter struggles may be his
What evil influences blight!
Then be not hasty to condemn,
If he have strayed from paths OF right.
We know so little of the hearts
That everywhere around us beat.
So little Of the inner lives
OF those whom day by day VIE greet;

What Thex Most Need.

E. B. Jewett, warden of the Kansas
state penitentiary, is much interest
ed in the work of finding employment
for discharged convicts and probably
will ask the next legislature to amend
the laws governing the institution so
that it may be done more easily and
effectively. ''The best preventive of
crime that I know off, he said, SIS
ten hours hard work a day at fair
wages. When a man has worked that
long he is tired and is ready to go
to bed and thereby keep out of mis-
chief. If he is getting fair wages
he has something to spur him to con-
tinued labor

instruction of Convicts.

Warden Jewett, of the Kansas
prison, says: ga regular teacher
should be detailed to take charge of
the instruction of the unlettered con-
victs. There is a school at the peni-
Tertiary now but it is conducted by
inmates. I believe a civilian teacher
should be at the head of it. There is
no doubt that education does much
for the ignorant criminal and has a
tendency to lead him into better
paths. It will be a slight expense to
the state and may result in great
good.''

when He Lost HIS Nerve.

At Wichita a man went to a law
yer's Office and paid $25 on note
which called for s123. After the law
yer had Endorsed the payment on the
back of the note the man asked to
see it, and the lawyer handed it over.
In an instant the man thrust the
note into his mouth and commenced
to chew on it vigorously. Before
the lawyer could choke him into
splitting it out. it had been reduced
to a mass of pulp. The man went
his way triumphantly, but when he
found a deputy sheriff was after him
he lost his nerve and went meekly
back to the lawyers Office, where
he paid the note in full.-Kansas City

CRABS STRANGE HOME.

Well worthy of study are the crabs
which are to be found in Minikoi, the
most southern aton of the LaccadiVe
archipelago. They are known as the
great land hermit crabs of the genus
Coenobita.
Like the cocoanut crab (Birgus
latro), they have forsaken the sea for
a life on land, but, unlike the former,
they still retain the habit of shelter
ing a portion of their body within a
shell or similar covering. One crab

Substitute for Marble.

A cheap substitute for marble claim
ing additional advantages over the
natural product has been brought out
by S. Sborowitz, of Berlin. A stiff
mass is formed by pounding together
asbestos, dyeing substances, shellac
and ashes, and this is subjected to
great pressure, the resulting material
being firm and tough, and easily
worked and polished. It has the ap-
pearance of fine grade of marble. It
can be nodded into any shape, and is
more durable in contact with water
than other artificial marbles.

TROUBLES of the billings Familx.

Troubles OF the Billings Family.
Recently the farmhouse of D. R.
Billings, near Glen Elder, was struck
by lightning. All of the inmates were
more or less affected. One girl was
killed outright and another was so
badly burned that she died a few
days later. Tragedy hovers about
the house of Billings. A few years
ago the family went to the celebra-
ton at Downs, leaving one of the
daughters at home. The girl re-
manned behind because she had no
suitable dress to wear. When the
family returned they found her hang
ing dead by the neck, and evidently
she had committed suicide.-Kansas
