Toilet Of a Lady Ant.

A naturalist has been making OBJ
servations on the toilets of certain
ants. and has discovered each insect
goes through most elaborate ablu-
tions.
They are not only performed by
herself. but by another. who acts
for ths time as lady's maid. The
assistant starts by washing the face
of her companion, and then goes over
the whole body.
The attitude OF the ant that is being
washed is one Of intense satisfaction.
She lies down with all her limbs
stretched loosely out; she rolls over
on her side, even her back, perfect
picture of ease.
The pleasure the little insect
evinces being thus combed and
sponged is really enjoyable to the
observer.

realized 1t quicker than anybody. He
lit a fresh cigar and looked steadily
out of the window. But he could not
forget and in the space OF two min
utes he had made up his mind that
the pretty little blue-eyed girl carry
ing her load so bravely was the one
girl in all the world for him. Tho
idea stimulated him and gave him a
grip on interest In life and affairs he
mad never had since he could remem-
ber.
Well. that's about all there is to
the story. He was too wise and ex-
perlenced, of course. to frlghten her
by any bold moves. But he took very
good care-and expensive-to learn
her name. address and limitations. He
contrived to meet her and become
familiar with all the humiliations OF
her position.
Then he became indignant and went
after the matter in hand with all the
force and directness that character
lied his paternal grandfather in the
upbuilding of his fortune. The result
was that within a month Van Aldine
and Milly Conan were quietly married
much to the disgust of Vans tmme-
diate family, but more to the dismay
of old Mrs. Grigsby. who never had
contemplated the possibility of losing
her "slavey."
And the strange part OF It is that
1t is the happlest marriage on record.
Milly not only made a good wife-a
model wife from the standpoint OF do
nestle economy-but she made the
kind of wife of whom her husband
is proud nearly TO the point OF wor-
ship. And. strangest OF all known
phenomena. from tho fourth day of
October in the year 1893, at about
4:30 p. M, or shortly thereafter. Van
Aldine acquired an interest in life OF
which he never had had conception
before and which he never lost there
after-at least up to the present time.
and the Van Aldlnes have now been
married for nearly eight years.

Hunter,a Humorous STORY.

"a friend OF mine" writes an army
officer. when returning to camp after
a days shooting suddenly came in
sight of big she-bear with two cubs
following in single file. proceeding
along ridge. the forms OF the three
being sharply silhouetted against the
sky. 1t was very long shot, but
he determined TO try it. so he drew
a bead on the old bear and fired. The
result was curious. The procession
stopped. the she-bear scratched her
self hastily. then turned round and,
regarding the cub Immediately behind
with grave disapproval. boxed its ears
soundly and then went trundling on
along the ridge, evidently under the
impression that her frolicsome on
spring had been up to some unusu-

Theodore Van Aldine was lucky
dog. AT least everybody said so. and
what everybody says is true. according
to an old saw. But old saws some
times miss fire in this practical work
a-day world. with its ever-changing
conditions. And, truth be told, Theo-
dore Van Aldine did not possess half
SO keen appreciation of his inherent
luck as the great world about him in
sisted upon. True he was the child
of wealth: true. he had never known
care; true, his pockets had always
bulged with money and no wish had
been ungratified. And right there was
the trouble. When one can have ones
hearts desire at all times and places.
1t pals on one and interest in life and
affairs dies out At least 1t had so
proven with Van Aldine. He had al
ways been fed on the daint.est of fare,
been clothed In the finest of raiment
driven the fastest horses. led the Co
tillion at the swellest balls. been fav-
ored by the most beautiful maidens.
owned the fastest yachts-in short,
had had the very cream and pick OF
the good things of the world.
But he was not happy. In fact he
was distinctly discontented and miser-
able. At 2S he has tasted all there is
to life, from the standpoint of the SEN
sualist and the epicure, and had found
II after all to be a bore.
He was a clean-cut, well-equipped
young fellow, was Van Aldine, and
born to an humble estate, where he
would have been compelled to work
out his own salvation might have
carved out great career-or have
been the founder of great fortune
as had been his paternal grandfather,
with the Dutch blood and thrift.
But the fates had willed otherwise,
and he had been born to purple and
fine linen. with care only to perserve
the family pride and act always the
gentleman. And this came SO natural
that no effort was required and the
consequence was that the boy had
never been permitted to put forth ef-
fort enough to interest him in exist
ence
And he had tired of 1t all-the lux
ury and the conventionalities. and had
become moody and discontented-even
to the point of seriously considering
the losing of his identity and enlisting
for service in the Philippines or for
service with the Beers IN South AT
rica- In this frame OF mind he flung
himself onto a cable car to get away
from the dilettante life he SO despised
and get a little fresh air and motion.
This was at 80 o'clock in the after
noon on the fourth day of October. in
the year 1893.

erty and service There was good

The one girl in all the world Tor him
to steer her. about, and selected Milly
for that important post, thus combin-
ing charity with business. To be sure
the post proved exceedingly trying. not
only from the standpoint of physical
work-as may be imagined when the
querulous nature of Mrs. Grigsby is
remembered. but also because of the
exceeding patience and tact required
OF the young girl in order to get along
at all with the relative who more and
more as the months rolled by strength
ened her hallucination that she was
doing an act Of exceeding charity in
feeding and clothing her niece in pay
ment for work which she could not
have had done for ten times what
Milly's keep cost her.
Things being at this pass one day
when MILF had reached the age OF is
and had stifed all the aspirations that
came to her and settled down to life
time of benumbing service, the latter
decided to go across the city to make
a call and accompanied by her niece
boarded a cablp car.
This was at A. 30 o'clock in the after
noon on the fourth day of October in
the year 1893.

kily on the rear seat of the cable car.
Theodore Van Aldines attention was
attracted by an old woman. accom-
panied by young girl, who boarded
the car. The woman was querulous
and complaining, the girl patient and
apparently cheerful. The woman was
nearly blind, and the girl took every
pains to see that she was made com

complaints. The girl did not show
resentment, but looked out upon the
sunshine and smiled at radiant nature.
And such a smile as IL wasi II rivaled
the sunshine itself. Van Aldine OBJ
served her curiously. Here was

woman and she seemed to be extract
ing from the fresh air and the sun

Aldine. millionaire and son of wealth
and luxury could begin to understand.
What was it she had that be had not?
The question made him smile and

face. The more he looked the more
she interested him. The play OF color
and the panorama of changing express
sions not only fascinated him. but
gave him some suggestion of the alive
intelligence behind the mobile fea-
lures.
OF a sudden the thought came to
him; MY God. where aisong the
daughters of wealth and fashion In our
set and who are so assidonsly making
themselves agreeable. is there one SO
dainty and SO intelligent? And where
is one who has the philosophy to carry
a load such as this girl is carrying. and
do II with a cheerful face?"
The more he rumlnated the more
interested he became. While he was
gazing at her with grave and intent
eyes she turned her eyes shyly that
way and their eyes met squarely. She
dropped hers and a slight flush suf-
fused her pale checks. Hardly less
soon than she dropped her eyes his
