.Ant,, ,InrnrtIc Ne.is.

Port Darwin. in South Australia, boasts of some of the most remarkable ants nests in the world. They are known as magnetic nests, for the simple reason that they are without exception built in a due north and south direction. Consequently tray. eler journeylng through the district in which they abound may readily direct hls course by their aid. No living man knows why these tiny architects build them in this way. They are merely one out of the many marvels of the great land down under" It seems, how ever. probable that instinct leads these tiny creatures to SO construct their dwellings that the fierce monday sun shall have the least possible effect upon their Interiors.

Korean Schools.

In Korean schools the master Is dressed in white. generally wears spec tacles and always has rod in order that the child may not be spoiled. He gathers hls flock around him In the most fatherly manner and deals out Justice with an unsparing hand. The scholars arc dressed in their best, but must study without their shoes. TRcse latter are kept iu sight ot the master at all times. The course of study Is not very extensive tO look at, but when it comes to studying the Korean language through the medium of Chinese it must he confessed that the beginning of a course Is difficult. The scholar Is first taught the name and meaning of Chl- nese characters and then their meaning ln Korean. just as though he were obliged to learn English through the medium of the Greek alphabet. Stu dents keep up a steady dronlng noise as each one goes on repeating his DOT ton of the tasks aloud, regardless of what Is going on round him.

Te.f of GohriefY.

An English carman who was brought
before a magistrate for being drunk
while I'm charge of a horse and cart
complained of the indignities TO which
he had been subjected by the police.
He had walked a chalk line marked
down the middle OF a long passage;
had said clearly and distinctly truly
rural and "chrysanthemums:" had
picked his hat up from the noor with
his right foot. raised II from his foot
and put 1t on his head while standing
on his left foot; had been asked to
stick n pin in n small dot made by a
pencil on a wall and had told them that
IL q brick weighed eight pounds and
a half brick and half would weigh
sixteen pounds. And yet the divisional
surgeon said he was intoxicated. The
police explained that the accused had
not walked the chalk line properly,
that his enunciation of truly rural
and "chrysanthemums" was very
throaty and vague. that he had three
times fallen on the floor in his efforts
to pick up his hat with his foot. a test
he volunteered. and in sticking the pin
in the wall he had selected a spot that
was not visible to any one but him.
self. The brick problem had merely
been put before him by way Of a joke,
and his solution was wrong.

in THE PATHS
OF PEACE
By Joel Mcleod

AIRS. Hastings dropped into the big
easy chair. with a sigh. The fire in the
library burned cheerfully. Besides its
cracking the only sound in the quiet
room was that OF the professors pen as
it made its methodical way over the
paper. 1t was very restful, and she
was so tired She decided that this
giving of faculty dinners was a nui-
sance.
Presently she glanced at her hus-
band Long experience had taught him
that it was wiser to allow his wife to
begin a conversation on the day of
faculty dinner party. So at this crit
Ical moment he deliberately capped his
fountain pen, put it in his pocket and
came over TO the fire, stretching his tall
figure to its greatest length. As he
threw himself on the divan she began:
"wellr'

thirteen one may find heaven in gIay
eyes.
But as the years rolled on there were
always forts to build, and sometimes
the clouds asserted their power more
strongly than the gray eyes, and then
the face remained hard and angry for
hours. Later the girl did not demand
forts for herself, but something tangi-
BILE for him, something besides q pur-
suit Of clouds. But he loved the clouds,
the breath Of the dank woods, the
murmur OF the sea. He would sit for
hours in the heart Of busy city and
watch people-sit and do nothing. He
said he did not care that his father and
his grandfather before him had been
great soldiers; that another grandfa-
ther had founded a powerful mercan-
tile firm. He wanted-what, he could
not say, but there was time. and time
would tell.
So the face had passed out Of his life,
leaving a greater void than he had ever
dreamed Il could leave. And then he
had learned that work was good, espe-
cially TO ill voids.
II had been raining in the night. and
now the veil was lifting from the sea,
which sparkled in greeting TO the tardy
sunbeams. The man watched the haze
as IL first quivered. then melted before
the rays Of light. The man sighed. He
felt that the veil was lifting for him.
He was seeing things too clearly. and.
seeing thus. he knew that the light Of
reason would Danish the face along
with the mist of weakness. He closed
his eyes. Perhaps IL would come back
TO him once more. and surely It would
smile now.
Suddenly he pressed his hands to-
gether. and something like n sob rose
in his heart. The face had never been

complexion. the great deep gray eyes

could see the curls which framed the
face, blown now by the south wind,
and he could almost detect the odor of

about her.

eyes. even for moment. lest the vi

ality. he fairly held his breath.
Don't. Leslie; don't look like that.

Even then it all seemed like a dream.
Not until he felt the cool pressure of
her cheek against his and her arms
about him did he understand il was all
real. And ut last lie reached for her
hands and held them fast.

she murmured: "You were always

squelchinE the LandIady.

The landlady was disturbed over one
of her boarders. The young woman
was pretty and consequently had many
male admirers. The landlady was prim
and pedantic and believed that pretty
girl must necessarily be wicked. Any
way, she thought 1t sinful for a man
caller to stay later than 9:30 o'clock.
The pretty girl had different ideas, and
when one Of her callers finally became
'her steady" she paid little attention
to time or the landlady. The good wo-
man. however. decided to break up the
late hours: so one evening she raped
gently on the parlor door. There was
a slight scurry and then Come in."

women Nbo H.tc sIe..

From time tn time strange instances
crop up of women who not merely re-
main unmarried OF their own free will.
but carry their antipntby TO the oppo-
site sex TO most peculiar lengths.
Thus one of these is utterly resolved
to have nothing whatever TO do with
men on any pretcxt. All her food Is
bought of women. and consequently
meat never appears on her table. since
there is no female butcher In her neigh
borhood.
Not long since handsome legacy
was refused simply because 1t came
from n man. while instances are
known OF women who make IL their
boast that they have neither spoken to
nor allowed one of the opposite sex TO
cross their thresholds for n quarter Of
a century and upward.
But probably the bitterest man hater
OF modern days was an Austrian lady
who at the time OF her death was en-
gagged in perfecting an elaborate plan
for the ultimate extinction OF the male
sex
