In the state of Colombia there is a
large ant alta cephalotes) which
causes a great deal of injury to plan
tations. 1t attacks and carries off in
discriminatory all kinds of foliage, and
no sort of vegetation seems to come
amiss to it. The quantity of foliage
carried off by these ants is immense.
A naturalist recently investigated the
uses to which the ants put this mass
of vegetable matter, and he ascertain
ed that they employ 1t to make hot
beds, upon which their eggs are depos-
tied to be Matched by the heat produced
by the fermentation of the leaves. The
ants do not eat these portions for food,
and the larvae are fed upon a carefully
selected diet. Once the brood is hatch
ed, the ants clear away the hotbed, car
rying out of their nest all the decom-
posed vegetable matter. This is thrown
out in heaps apart, and in the large ant
hills these heaps will contain bushels
and upward.

Curiosities of Digestion.

An Augusta gentleman states that
he once cured a gastric trouble by eat
ing at supper a plentiful supply of III
cumbers and cold blackberry dump
hing, and yet in his cas- nothing would
have seemed more pernicious.
Proctor, the astronomer, suffered
from excruciating headaches. He was
satisfied that they came from some err
ror of diet, and SO he dropped from his
bill of fare one thing after another I'M
til he concluded that nothing else was
left for experimentation. He had for
gotten one article, however. 1t was
butter. He abandoned that and ate
everything else and never suffered from
headaches again to his dying day. Man
is wonderfully made, and so is the
stomach. Remedies for dyspepsia are
numerous. You may pay your money
and take your choice.-Augusta Chron-
icle.

A Motto Gone Wrong.

King Francis L. of France, who
reigned in the middle of the sixteenth
century, dressed himself deliberately
for the battle of Pavia, which he tx
pected to win and thereby to become
the master of Italy. An old chronicle
says: 1.-THE king of France in his ar
NOR vent about from squadron to
squad 'on, and he wore over his mail
.. surcOat of brocade and brown vel
.et cl ecker wise, with navy F's en-
broidefed thereon in velvet on the
brocase and in brocade on the velvet
and v it'll cords of gold and brown silk.
On kAhelnet he wore a great yellow
and AVA PLANE, the feathers droop-
ing DOWN to the horses TANKS, and
from the midst of them rose a brown
pennon with a red salamander, having
above it Il great gilt f and around it
the words, This time and no more
This motto he bore because he thought
on that day certainly to make himself
lord of Italy" However, he lost the
battle and was taken prisoner.

FOOLED ALL FRANCE.
ympostOr Made Paris Believe He Was
Ambassador From Persia.


Toward the end of the year 1714 a
certain Mehemet Rizabecq, who called
himself ambassador of the king of Per-
STA, and the bearer of his commands,
disembarked at Marseilles.
He was received at two leagues from
Paris by the Baron de Breteuil, usher
of ambassadors, and the Marshal de
Matignon. On the 9th of January,
1715, he made his solemn entry into
the capital with great pomp.
He declined the royal carriages gen.
orally used on such occasions and en-
tered on horseback, preceded by the
finest horses of the kings stables, SUI
perbly caparisoned and accompanied
by trumpets and bands of music.
The ambassador, richly arrayed in
the Persian costume, was attended by
q numerous train of domestics and
sian standard. The presents which he
offered to the King were very incon-
siderable.
After passing a short time in France,
during which he concluded in the
pame of his pretended mastcff5 a treaty
of alliance with Louis XIV, he sailed
from Sweden and Denmark and was
never heard of later.
Rizabecq, according to the Memoirs
of the Reign of Louis NV" was a
Portuguese who had never seen the
prince he represented nor even visited
a cinr1a npoNinoo Of Do,rio Tha ,1r
eminent paid the expenses of his ex-
cellency, which amounted to 1000 IL

The many friends of Thomas G.

of his sudden death which occurred on

trip through the country. AT the time
he seemed to be in the Lest of health,
and on Tuesday evening about nine
O'Clock, after he had gone to his room
at the residence of a friend, at Mountain
Grove, neal Hazelton, Pa, after having
spent a social evening with friends, he
complained of a pain in his head. A
short time later he eX experienced a slight
apoplectic stroke and lapsed into un-
consciousness, from which he lever
aroused. Mr.. Allan was IS years of
age and well known in Wildwood,
making frequent trips here for the past
several years and forming a wide ae-
quaintanceship among u summer
guests. His wife, who was Miss Lou
Phillips, of Pottsville, was also well
known here, having made frequent
trips to Wildwood since her first visit
of a dozen years ago. A host of friends
here extend the sincerest sympathy to
the widow. The funeral was held last
Saturday from the Hotel Allan, at
Pottsville.

IN MEMORIAM.

At a meeting of the Board of Trust
ees of the Evergreen Cemetery Of
Morristown, N. j., held September s,
1903, committee of three members
was appointed to draft suitable resolu-
tions respecting the death of DR..
Phanett O. Barker, and transmit a
copy thereof to the family of the de-
ceased, and publish the same in the
Morristown papers.
The members of the Board of Trust
ees of The Evergreen Cemetery, repre-
sented by it's committee, therefore,
desire to express their profound sor-
row because of the loss of valued
president and co-worker, and tender
their personal sympathy to his be-
reaved widow.
DIR. Barker had been trustee Of
this corporation from March 1st, A..
D. 1880, and it's president from March
18th, 1900, up to the time of his death,
and he was always faithful and true
to the interests entrusted to his care.
In the performance of his duties he
manifested the same degree of earnest
ness and fidelity that characterized all
his acts in connection with every
other position he was called upon to
fill, and his integrity always bespoke
for him the confidence of those he
represented. His prominence in pub
lie life, filling, as he did, many respon-
sible places, and the courageous and
conscientious manner in which he
maintained his convictions COM
manded the respect of the community.
The skill and success with with he
pursued his chosen profession gave
him a leadership in the ranks of medi-
cal practitioners and endeared him to
the many patients whose return to
health was due to his devotion and
ability.
We therefore record our deep sense
of respect and esteem for the memory
of DR.. Barker, whose decease has de-
prived us of a wise counselor and con-
scientious official.

The unusually pretty chorus of
Peggy from Paris" which is being
played to crowded houses at Wallack's
Theatre in New York, was recruited
in Chicago. They captured Boston
and now are repeating the conquest in
New York Mostly strangers to the
metropolis, they are quite as much in
terested in New Workers as New
Workers are in them. Strange to say,
like in all Henry W. Savage's COM
panies, the chorus makes hit because
it is made up of pretty, intelligent,
graceful girls who can sing and are
ambitious. They do not own auto
mobiles, but despite this drawback
feel that a stage career should not be
entirely denied them.
