A book on the Kongo Free State
gives this picture of the fondness of
the natives for white ants: 'In the
white ant month the natives have a
very busy time. The river is deserted.
and men and women, boys and girls,
go out to gather the white ant for food.
1 cannot say l admire their taste, but
the white ant is not bad as food, mere
~ very rich. In this month he is about
an inch long. The natives gather him
in hundreds, pull off the wings and
roast him. The native boys have a
shorter way with him. Sometimes at
mess white ants Topped on to the ia
BILE, attracted by the light. The boys
who were waiting bounced on them
and without further ceremony popped
them into their mouths"

strength of Animal scent.

The bird dog man is likely to think
his favorite has better nose than any
animal on earth. He can tell you any
amount of stories about birds being
scented at very long distances. Now it
is a covey of chickens winded at 300
yards, or, again, bevy Of quail drawn
straight to at seventy-five. There are
other animals, however, which have
wonderfully keen noses. For instance,
the sea otter hunters do not dare build
a fire for days at time on the little is
lands of the Pacific ocean frequented
by those animals because the otter can
smell the fumes from the smallest
blaze a distance of five miles out at
sea- 1t is said of this animal that he
can trail fish under the sea. Moose
have been known to wind man at two
miles and make up their minds SO posi-
lively about him as to never quit run
ming under twenty five.

Smoking In Spain.

In Spain people smoke necessarily
under all conditions, at all hours and
in all places, except in church. Men
smoke in the railway carriages; they
smoke in all the tram cars; they smoke
in all the minor theaters; they smoke
in all the restaurants in the hotel din
ing rooms. and, of course, in the cafes
In business offices the merchant and
his clerks smoke. In shops the shop
man, while trying to sell goods to a
lady, will stop to roll a cigarette,
which, when lighted, he will puff in
her face. You see conductors and
drivers of tram cars smoking. All the
hackney cabmen smoke all the time,
while even coachmen and footmen of
private carriages sometimes smoke on
the box. Beggars approach you. ciga-
rette in mouth, to whine for aims. If
you ask for tickets at a railway office,
the clerk lays down his cigarette as he
hands you the dingy bits of pasteboard.
The inEumerable peddlers all smoke
cigarettes all the time.-J. A. Hart in

Most people are aware of the power
Of eggshells to resist external pressure
on the ends, but not many would cred
it the results of tests recently made,
which appear to be genuine. Eight or
binary hens eggs that were submitted
to pressure varied between 400 pounds
and 675 pounds per square inch. With
the stresses applied internally to
twelve eggs these gave way at pres
sures varying between thirty
pounds and sixty-five pounds per
square inch. The pressure required to
crush the eggs varied between forty
pounds and seventy-five pounds. The
average thickness of the shells was
thirteen ne-thousandths inch.

why water auenche. Thirst.

Thirst, Il word of Anglo-SaxOn origin
and akin to the Latin torreo and our
torrid or parched, describes a peculiar
sensation of dryness and heat located
In the tongue and throat. Artificial
thirst may be produced by the passage
Of a current of air over the mucous
membrane of these parts. but normal
thirst Is the consequence of lack of
liquid in the system. The agony Of ex-
IRENE thirst is due to the fact that all
the tissues sympathize in this distress.
1t is then as refreshing relief that
q supply of water comes to thirsting
lips, replacing what has been lost. cool
ing the parched palate and rapidly re-
moving the craving which has de-
pressed the system. In short. water
quenches thirst just because it supplies
what at the moment is wanting and Is
most eagerly desired, so that Solomon
could properly compare the gift of
'cold waters to thirsty soup' to the
advent of good news.
Thirst is to some extent appeased by
the injection of water into the blood or
body, though no fluid touches the part
to which the sensation is referred.

Few Good Dinner Walters.

A New York fashionable restaurant
man who was asked why he specified
a good dinner waiter in his adver-
tisement said: Because all good wait
ers are not necessarily good dinner
walters; quite the contrary. The tend
ency with most walters, unless they
know their customer, is to hurry a
meal along. They want to make room
at the tables for newcomers. Most
men who take all their meals at res
taurants will not object to this at
breakfast; in fact, it is rather crafty
ing than otherwise to find a waiter
willing to hurry. The same thing is
true, more or less, with luncheon
where the restaurant is exclusively
for gentlemen. But very few men like
to be hurried over their dinner. Any
waiter who knows his business will
coax his customers gently over this
meal, course by course, always ready,
but never around when he is not want
ed. Such man will get liberal tip
and send customers away with the
opinion that he works in the best res
taurant in town. But such walters are
few and far between.-New York

The oriental idea of the freedom
which American women enjoy does not
accord with that of Americans. One
Hindoo lady expressed herself as great
~ shocked that American men should
compel their women to go about in
public unprotected, their faces exposed
to the gaze of strangers, and Hindoo
gentleman with whom we talked thus
expressed himself on the subject Of
oriental treatment of women:
"You say that we do not honor our
women. Why, let me tell you that all
Hindoo boys, till they are ready to
learn the ways of men, are taught by
their mothers. We are subject to our
mothers, and we know what you occi-
dentals do not yet seem to realize-that
to have good men and good citizens
we must have good mothers. You will
hardly find Il Hindoo man, whatever
his caste, daring to go against the
counsel of his mother. Can you say as
much for American menY
Could as much, do our readers think,
be said for American men? There are
no asylums for helpless fathers and
mothers in the orient. So long as there
is a corner and crust to be shared the
parents in the oriental family have the
lions share.-Household.

Tn. Blood ms a river.

The blood is a very river of human
life, it's pulmonary and systematic cir
culations constituting an intricate net
work of canals, making the body sort
of corporal Amsterdam or human Ven
ice. writes George Dana BOardman in
'Ethics of the Body" Each cOrpuscle
is barge, moving with varying rates
of speed in different parts of the body,
toiling through the capillaries at the
rate of two inches minute, rushing
through the arteries at the rate Of from
twelve to twenty feet a second, cease
lessly carrying on the organic functions
of the body by perpetually exchanging
freight, depositing at the depot Of this
and that tissue oxygen and taking up
dioxide of carbon. What money is to
society that blood is to the body. 1t is
the means of exchange or the circulat-
ing medium.

President. Ate with Their knives.


All our earlier presidents ate with
their knives. The stately George Wash
ington, the irascible John Adams, the
original Thomas Jefferson, the learned
James Madison and the popular James
Monroe shoveled in his food with
his knife. John Quincy Adams was
the first president who ate with his
fork. And his wife felt it necessary to
explain to the guests at the White
House that "Mr. Adams had learned to
eat with his fork while in France and
that he couldn't overcome the habit"
Andrew Jackson restored the '.repub-
lican simplicity" of eating with his
knife. All of those we have named also
poured their tea or coffee into their
saucers to cool it. 1t is related of Gen.
eral Taylor that when he was presi-
dent he could be seen in the streets of
Washington early in the morning with
a market basket on his arm going from
one butcher to another and bargaining
for steak or rib roast If he had
bargained less persistently, he might
have served out his term, for we have
heard it was owing to the inferior
quality of the cherries he ate on the
Fourth of July, 1850, that sickness at
tackled him and he died on the 9th of
July.-Utica Observer.

To be gentleman "is to be honest,
to be gentle. to be generous, to be
brave, to be wise, and, possessed of all
these qualities, to exercise them in the
most graceful manner" says the great
novelist Thackeray.
A diner in a certain hotel became so
noisy that the proprietor directed his
removal. The waiter who successfully
accomplished this, on returning to the
room. expressed his regret at having
been obliged to put the individual out,

perfect gentleman" adding after a

at SO decided a conclusion, HE give

A Fyzabad Hindoo was restored to
his caste by the following process of
qualification" He lost caste eating
cooked food in railway carriage, in
which persons of another caste were
travelling. He had to pay his own
weight first in rice, the value reaching
$50 rupees, and then in wheat. After
being twice weighed in this way he

stored to caste fellowship.
