Just secured a million dollar con-
tract for paving streets in New
York and Uvalde asphalt is to be

commissioners of New York chose
Uvalde asphalt for use on the

after a thorough test, to be superior
to any other asphalt in the world.

ANTS TOILET.

A naturalist has been making
observations on the toilet of certain
ants, and has discovered each insect
goes through most elaborate ablu-
tions. They are not only perform
ed by herself, but by another, who
acts for the 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
washedis one of the intense salts
faction. She lies down with all her
limbs stretched loosely out; she
rolls over on her side, even her
back, a perfect picture of ease The
pleasure the little insect evinces
being thus combed and sponged is
really enjoyable to the observer

SOME CURIOUS REQUESTS.

Gratitudeis not common virtue,
but sometimes it induces people to
make handsome requests, says
writer in an English magazine.
An old lady left twenty thousand
pounds to a gentleman for no other
reason than because he once held her
pew-door open.
A man who had been rescued
from drowning by a sailor, present :
ed the latter with the magnificent
reward of one shilling As the man
was known to be rich, indignant
murmurs arose from the crowd who
had witnessed the rescue. Among
them was the poet, Burns, who said
"My friends, the gentleman must
know his own value better than we
do"
The life of the gentleman to be
mentioned next was much more val7
liable. He had been saved by car
penter from drowning in the River
Tyne. Five shillings and the usual
courtesies were all that were given at
tn time; hut three years after
!
wards the gentleman died and
lett TO his rescuer twenty-five thou
sand pounds worth of landed
estates, and one thousand four
hundred and fifty pounds in
money
Some years ago a Bolton manu-
