Homan,n Life In Jnpnn.

Advocates of the physical equality of women and men might find argument to support their theory among the Japanese. The girls and boys wrestle on equal terms, and the women are said to be as strong as the men-sup- pie, bounding with the vim of life and graceful in every line."' The Japa- nese women seek abundance of air, drink pure water and go out in the sun- shine the first thing in the morning. Consequently consumption is a rare disease. Instead of living in over heated rooms they merely add extra clothing to what they wear already. Women always have some time fol recreation, Even the poorest woman goes to the bath at night and sater on meets her friends But all go to rest early.

WONDERFUL INSECTS.

 Species of Ants.

The Marvellous Ways of VarfOGm
 Species of Ants.
 Lieutenant Colonel Sykes saw at Poo nan ants carrying out grain to dry iE the sun. Dr. Lincecum in Texas found ants which planted q certain seed bear ing grass, reaped it and carried the grain into their cells, where they strip ped it of chaff and packed it away. The paper relating this was read by Darwin before the Linnaean society. Another observer has told us of ants which grow mushrooms.
 The foraging ants of Brazil and western equatorial, Africa are terrible creatures Elephants and gorillas fly before them; the python takes care not to indulge in meal till. he has satis- fled himself that there are none of them about. They have a '1eisured class much larger creatures, which ac- company their march, "l1ke subaltern officers in a marching regiments" they are not fighters, however One curious conjecture as to their function has been made. They are indigestible, and birds spare the whole army lest they should get hold of one of these tough morsels. This, it must be allowed, looks little too strange.
 Slaves the ants certainly have, but they do not make slave raids; the lar. vac of the inferior race are carried off and matched out. The crowning mar vel, however, is that the British slave owning ant, and he alone, makes his slaves fight for him.-London Specta- &Nys ng

A Bracket-C Clock of Handsome App

A good design for a simple bracket clock is shown in the illustration. It is made from thin boards half an inch thick, half a yard of burlap, some large-headed nails, and an inexpensive clock movement run by springs or weights.
 The box part of the case is eight inches square and three and a half

 If it is impossible to find large, headed nails to finish the edges of the 9roht9Iantf, sides, mock naiEheads, of an inch in diameter, can be cut from lead and applied with thin steel nails. The movement, which can be purchased from clock maker, is attached to the back of the case before the dial is made fast. The can also mount and adjust the dial and movement if necessary Joseph H.

OBEYED THE LAW.

On election day at Reno there was
a sell out contingent of about 300
votes who offered in the market for
money. They We're not out for any
large amount. They simply wanted
to be recognized" The matter was
laid before Gov. Sparks and he was
informed that little money would
save his fight. He replied that he
had spent no money in corruptins
voters and he had signed the Purity
of Election law and taken an cath to
keep it. If he lost his election all
right, but he would not violate the law
to save a dozen Scholarships. His
firm and honorable stand resulted in
his defeat, but he has a place in the
respect and regard of the citizens of
the State from which nothing can ever
displace him.

THE STORY OF THE BALLOTS.
A Few Of The Things They Revealed
at the Recount.

at the Recount.
Sheriff Kinney, having plurality
OF only ten votes, either Mr.. Dow or
Mr.. Daugherty, his oppoents, were
entitled to call upon the County Com
missioners to canvass the returns.
and Mr. Daugherty did so, through
his attorney, Samuel Plat, Esq. No
objection was interposed by Hon. VIM.
WOODBURY., attorney for William Kin
ney, Sheriff, as Mr.. Kinney desired to
know the truth. and did not care
what it was
In accordance with mutual under
standing, and without objection. Com
missioners Woodbury. and Easton, day
before yesterday counted the ballots
of Ormsby County, and the same re-
vealed the following story.
The ballots reveal nothing against
the honesty and integrity Of any Of
the several boards of election. They
reveal a high degree Of intelligence
in the counting and rejection of bal
lots under the law.
Common honesty and impartiality
is shown by the returns. The ballots
show, or tend to show a very fair ex
ercise of the elective franchise. with
out fear of punishment or hope Of
reward.
The largest number Of errors COM
mitted, as shown by the ballots, was
in voting for more than three Presi-
dental electors. and next in voting
for more than one Regent of the Uni
versity for either the long or short
term and next for more than one
County Commissioner for either the
long or the short term. These errors,
it is believed. simply vitiate the offices
voted for. and not the entire ballot.
The next largest number of errors,
fatal to the entire ballot under the
law, is the placing of the cross outside
of the square place provided for it.
few ballots showed crosses on the
margin Of the ballots. and it is believ-
ed such marks vitiate the ballot thus
voted.
A very considerable number of bal
lots were voted wherein the voter ne
elected to blot out the impression Of
his crosses with blotting paper, and
in folding his ballot, the counterpart
of his cross was found on the oppo-
site side Of the paper thus folded. and
several others blurred their ballots
with thumb and filger marks in the
operation of folding by placing their
thumbs or fingers on the fresh cross
es made by them. 1t is believed that
all such ballots will be duly counted,
unless evidence is produced showing
conclusively that such blurs were
made for the purpose of identifying
such ballots.
On the whole, the lesson to be
drawn from the last election in Orms
by is that the stencil cross is no bet
ter than the pencil, and that an addi
tional officer should be appointed
whose duty it would be to point out
to the electors how to use the stencil
and that it must be imprinted with
in the square and that he can vote
for only one man for the same office
