Necklace of Ants.

A necklace of black ants is an
article of adornment of New
Guinea. The Anglican mission
there gives particulars of one
which measured over eleven feet
long and was composed of as
many as 800 bodies of ants.
Three little pieces of shell and a
dozen English beads were incor-
porated into it, and there was a
native string holding it together,
yet it's weight only reached 2
drachms. 2 scruples, 13 grains,
These large black ants make big
nests in the native gardens and
the native women and girls catch
them, pull off their heads, bite
off and swallow the other end
and thread the "thorax."

OUTCAST'S PATHETIC END.


In little white cottage in the forest
that skirts the village Of Bayylle Ada
Sveetser died Of starvation and excess
siye drinking. Ada Sweetser, it is said,
was an outcast member OF a wealthy
family Of New York and Brooklyn.
In the house with her when she lay
dying were five living dogs and two that
had died Of starvation. Two dead chick
ems were found near the cot on which
the woman had died, and half dozen
others were crawling about the room In
am emaciated condition.
Because Of her uncomfortable appe-
tite for drink Ada Sweetser had been
an outcast for many years. Scores OF
letters were found near her cot from
relatives. They showed she still had
the sympathy Of her sisters and nleces,
and was in constant receipt Of assist
ance from them, but the letters told the
story of her wretchedness. weakness
and the cause OF her life OF Punishment.
The house in which the woman died
is a pretty little cottage Two years
ago last September Miss Sweetser
came there. The rent was paid regu.
larry by friends in New York, but the
woman's life was a mystery. She was
educated and refined. That was known
from her conversation and her bearing,
but she was a reeluse
She surrounded herself with pet dogs,
cats and chickens, and never allowed
them to 90 outside the house
II was by mere accident that the
woman was discovered when dying On
Saturday night boy passed the house
and reported to group OF villagers
that everything about the cottage was
so dark that he believed something was
wrong He said he could hear dogs
moaning as If they We're weak. An In
Yestigation party was organized, but

courage to go In except Charles Bell
