ODD LIVING HONEY BOTTLES.
Mexican Table DeiIcacy Is Furnished by
Red Ant.

A late traveller in New Mexico had
for his dessert a unique dish. 1t was
like. yet unlike. so many amber col
ored cherries, each with a most pecu-
liar stem. Doubtful. yet polite, he put
one between his teeth and was sur
prised to find that the little sac con-
tanned q hCney-like liquid. Il see this
is your first acquaintance with the
honey ant said his host "He -four
ishes with us, but does not get up to
your northern climes. believe Col
orado is his limit"
Then in answer to the question on
his guests face. he gave the following
little history.
"The honey ant is small red insect
living in rounded mounds, or, in some
cases. in low heaps extended over an
area from 90 to 30 feet square. He is
most industrious. like others of the
ant family. Indeed. he works day and
night. His food Is a sweet, syrupy
fluid gathered from gals. those curious
enlargement of growths on trees and
plants. With this he fills his body,
and, as. unlike his cousin, the bee. he
has not added the making Of vessels
for food storage to his other accom-
plishments, he supplies the deficiency
in novel way and interesting manner.
In other words, he uses for this pur-
pose the largest individuals of his own
species. The liquid food is forced into
the crops of these selected ones, each
foraging trip adding to the supply until
these crops. which nature has covered
with plates that can spread apart as
need arises, have reached their limit OF
distention. The living bottles. or re-
ceptacles are now practically helpless.
They are not neglected by their COM
paulons. A dark room is built for
their accommodation. and here they
cling to the ceiling. receiving additions
to their stores or supplying food for
the hungry workers. The people in
this part of the country esteem the
honey ant q delicacy. We use is for
our dessert as you use grapes or cur
rants"

these newcomers. who are fiocking
into Wall street like an army of To-

thing cheap. not for investment, but
simply for a gamble. II is remarkable
that with this vast demand for stocks,
prices are attaining unprecedented
heights Such a condition makes man

say that there are not some stocks
which are fair purchase from the in
vestment standpoint. even at prevail
ing high prices. only observe that we
are in an era of the widest and most
reckless speculation that Wall street
has had in a quarter of a century. A
great majority of the old-fashioned
conservative investors on the street
stand aghast at the rising tide in
prices. For months they have been
predicting a climax and a disastrous
reaction. But the new brood of spec
ulators. largely from the west, who
have made vast fortunes in the recent
rise insist that we are to have still
higher prices, and point to the fact
that many stocks are below the prices
that ruled in the boom era after the
resumption of specie payments extend
ing from 1877 to 1881. One of the
ablest bankers and financiers of Wall
street. whose opinion is of great value,
predicted two months ago that the
boom would continue. with possibly
slight reactions. almost throughout the
year. but he told me IL would end like
all other booms. in a serious collapse.
There is general agreement that such
collapse must follow the unprece-
dented rise of 1901. as il has always
followed an extraordinary bull move
mont in every epoch. The only differ
ence of opinion is as TO when the cll-
max will come.

A remarkable flint bowlder has been
discovered at Lewes, Eng. and Is now
in the possession of Charles Dawson,
f. G. s., of Uckheld. In cavity within
the bowlder was found full-grown
toad, which must. when young. have
entered the hole In the stone by a small
aperture. There the unfortunate pris-
oner waxed to adolescence. and prob
ably he may have died of chagrin on
finding that he had delayed his exit too
long, for the hole afterward became
silted up. The bowlder. which Is shown

Already spring parasols are in the
stores, and women who are ahead of
time in making their spring gowns can
find parasols to match any color. In
these the white and black effects still
predominant, although there are many
pretty colored chiffons. In the pure
white ones crochet lace will, it is said,
be the fad.
Antique lace and embroidery form the
trimmings of the I'D to date woman's
costume. This fashion comes from Par
is, where reproductions of old designs
and colors are worn by those who do
not possess pieces as heirlooms. Antique
embroideries, even if damaged by time,
are much coveted.
A simple vet popular adornment for
the neck is a broad straight band of
velvet. Sometimes a color to combine
with the costume is worn. but usually
the band is of white or black. This may
be studded with real or imitation gems,
wrought into floral designs with the aid
of gold thread, or decorated in any way
fancied by the Wearer.
The craze for old fashioned things
shows itself again in the little reticules,
almost square in form, that accompany
the lucky possessor at all functions.
These. if heirlooms, are of antique silk
daintily embroidered or trimmed with
fine old lace. Women make them also
of materials to match their gowns. and
some of the finest ready made costumes
have reticuleS attached.
A favorite costume for evening wear
is made of black lace with incrustations
of colored or white lace. Any original
ideas may be carried out in this way.
Black lace on white tuIle is also popu-
lar. A ball gown in this combination
shows birds of black lace sprinkled
across the front and sides of the gown
in imitation of the fight of swallows.
Straight front corsets have been so
universally worn that their popularity
is established beyond question, say the
manufacturers, who are putting the fin
est Satins and brocadeS in their con-
Struction. Nine dollars and fifty cents
is not considered an unreasonable price
for a pair in either of these materials.
White cloth costumes have made
their appearance at afternoon recep-
tions. A pretty model in this style is
of white cloth with fiounce of white
ribbed velvet, finished with three rows
of white stitched cloth. The long
basqued Louis XVI jacket is finished
with waistcoat of satin with floral
embroidery.-New York Daily Tribune.
