GOT OUT TOO SOON.
The Old Lady's First Ride in an Auto.
 mobile.

It had taken considerable per suasion to induce the old lady to take seat in an automobile, but finally she had consented to do so be- cause she was anxious to reach the bedside of her sick grandchild in village some 20 miles away, the last train for which had left some ten minutes before she arrived at the station. When the owner of the big automobile, who was touring through Long Island, had overheard the old lady's regrets at being left, he had insisted upon her accompanying him, as he was to pass through the particu- lar one of the half dozen or more Long Island villages named Hamp- ton, where the sick child lived. Ev- erything went lovely until the almost flying vehicle, in attempting to pass wagon loaded with hay which oc- cupied the entire center of the road, went unexpectedly into the ditch and rather violently deposited its occu- pants in an adjoining field. Recov- ering from the shock, though some what confused from the rather un- usual method of ahghting from a vehicle, the old lady asked of the chagrined chauffeur 'Is this Hamp. ton?" 'No, ma 'am," he managed. tc gasp, ''this is an accident" "Oh, dearp' said the ex-occupant of the vehicle, ''tben l hadn't oughter have got out here, had I?"-Automobile Magazine.

known in Germany by the name of treibel, and are worth about 50 ko- pecks each, enter Leipsic, where they are dyed in the factories and chiefly exported to America. At one time Leipsic received yearly from 3,OOO,O0O to 4, ,O0O, ,OO0 of Russian and Siberian squirrel skins, which were dressed as fur, and found their chief sale in Great Britain. When, how- ever, the fashion of full-length fur-line6 women's cloaks and long ulsters passed away the importation of these skins fell to about 2, 900, ,O0O. Squirrels tails were formerly used in the manufacture of boas, and now they are dyed to initiate marten and sable tails, and find ready sale in the United States, England, France, Germany and Austria-Hungary. Russia exports them annually up to a thousand stocks. The white fox dressed in Russia, finds an annual sale of nearly 2,0OO,000 skins, rang ing in price from ten to 27'kopecks.
 Besides Russian hides, fox, otter, polecat and black ferret skins find their way to Leipsic from different parts of Germany, France, Switzer- land, Austria Hungary, Greece, Hol- land and Denmark. From 100000 to 120, ,0OO foxskins are sold annually in Leipsic, chiefly for export to Rus sia, the price varying from two to six marks. Polecats are also exported to Russia to the number of 50,000 to 60,0O0, and at the price of eight to 16 marks. Nearly all of the otter skins (from 5000 to 4,000) are ex- ported to Russia at an average rate of six to 20 marks each. The writer adds that the fuctuation in the fur trade depend on the weather and the caprices of fashion. Although furs are always fashionable, the absence of winter in western Europe renders the trade less animated and less stable than is customary during that season.

How the Ant Played Upon Ais Weak.
ness and Won.
Once upon q time there was q roach
lived ga a hole In the wall next door
to a wise old ant. Now it happened
that the ant did not like the roach anil.
would gladly have murdered him but
FOR the roach's size and great strength,
which made the ant no match for him
IN a contest Of strength.
The ant placed poison at the roach's
door. but the roach was wary and ate
It not. One evening, when the lady Of
the house came into the room to look
for reaches. the ant called upon the
roach to come out Of his hole. hoping
the lady would XIII him, but the roach
heard her footsteps and kept close.
Next the ant tried to compass the de.
struction Of the roach by daring him
to climb up the side Of the wall, hoping
that the roach would fall from a great
height and break his neck. The roach,
however, refused to climb.
Now it happened that the roach was
a great Splinter and was very proud of
his ability to get over the ground in a
hurry. The ant CHANGED to think of
this, and, going to the roach, chal-
lenged him to a foot race The roach
accepted the challenge at once and
stated that he could run faster with
his front feet tied than any handy
legged ant in the whole house. The
ant selected the spot where the foot
race was to be run, which was across
a yellow sheet of paper ON the window
sill. Hitler both ant and the roach
went and halted at the edge of the
sheet Of paper.
Are you ready?' cried the roach.
Il ami" shouted the ant.
Col" yelled the roach, and with
that started across the sheet of paper
at a dreadful pace, only to fall down
and stick fast in a nauseous mire ere
he had gone two inches. The ant did
not start at all, for well he knew that
the race course was across a sheet Of
fypaper.

The rhonnhts Of lns.ota.

Insects think as truly as men do, all
though not, of course, on the Same
scale. This is the belief Of M. Forel.
a French neurologist, who has been
making observations of ants and bees
for relaxation. He thinks that, be-
tween the ideas of the naturalist who
regards insects as mere automatons
and those Of the man VINO treats them
as if they had human Intelligence,
there Is a happy medium Of common
sense, and this he has tried to attain.
His observations teach him that, al
though most OF the acts Of insects can
be explained by instinct. there re.
main what he calls Small plastic
judgments, by which they avoid diff
hculties and steer their way between
dangers. The directive faculty Of bees
especially, and their wonderful mem
