The Soldier Ant.

The lion is the king of beasts, but all of his magnificent strength and feroc- ity would avail him nothing when he faced a mere ant. But this ant is not the usual kind which peacefully goes about its domestic duties day by day. Ii Is the terrible driver or soldier ant, said to be the most invincible creature in the world.
 Against these tiny enemies no man or band of men, no lion or tiger nor even herd of elephants, can do any thing but hurriedly get out of the way. Among the Barotse natives a favorite form of capital punishment is to coat the victim with grease and throw him before the advancing army of soldier ants. The quickness with which the poor wretch Is dispatched is marvellous when it is considered that each ant can do nothing more than merely tear out small particle of flesh and carry 1t off. Yet in a surprisingly short time the writhing victim will have been changed into a skeleton.

THE MOON AND THE MICE.
Curious Indian Legend Explaining
 the Waning of Luna.

Curious Indian Legend Explaining
 the Waning of Luna.
 A curious Indian legend was told to some people in Omaha by a full blooded Sioux who lives at Pine Ridge agency.
 He said the belief was that every time a ney moon appeared 1t was a signal for all the mice in the country to gather themselves together in one spot. When they assembled they then separated into four great armies. One army went to the north, another to the south. a third to the east and a fourth to the west These armies of mice travelled until they reached the point where from the place of starting the heavens seemed to touch the earth. Then they climbed up the sky until they came to the moon, which by this time was what we call full.
 All of the four armies then commenc- ed nibbling at Luna, and when they had eaten her all up the mice would scamper back down the heavens to the earth and wait for her to show herself aga'n, when the journey and the nib bling would be repeated by the mice, and this is what the Indians Of early days believed was the cause of the moon growing old and finally disap- bearing.

As a joke he also demand ed that his eighty-year-old pensioner agree to leave him his skeleton when he died. When May left Australia he called his model in. You've played me a dirty trick" said May, "by swim ding me out of that skeleton. I could haze bought one in sound order and condition for half the money you've cost me-" The old fellow, conscious of his base ingratitude to his best and most patient friend, answered: Don't be angry with me, Mir.

 A very brilliant Irish lady some years ago arranged that Mir. Leczy should meet m able and famous Irlshman of very advanced opinions In politics. It was intended that they should ex- change views, and the Irlshman had good deal to say about MT. Lecky's later work and was well able to put what he had to say in the most eff Gectiye language. The door opened and MT. Lecky was announced. He was in- troduced to the Irishman, and before the latter had time to say anything the historian began a political harangue which he kept going without cessation the whole time he was there. The Irishman at first tried to break in with A word, but he was swept away, as 1t were, in the unceasing flow of MT. Iecky's language; SO after a time he sat in amused bewilderment, waiting until nature gave out But when Mir. Lecky felt he was getting exhausted he rose from his chair, shook hands with the hostess. and her guest, keeping on talking all the time. They came out with him to the top of the staircase, but could not get word edgeways even then, as he talked all the way down to the door and was even in an unfinished sentence when the door was shut behind him. They looked at each other and roared.-Freemans Journal

 "I've noticed that you haven't been reading 30 many books on the subject recently" he went on. Whats the reasonT
 "Why. you see, we had a series of lectures on the subject at the club, and l learned from them that 1t was real science, requiring careful study. So got copies of several books on educa- ton and began to fit myself for the work of bringing up children proper ly. But the authorities don't agree"
 Don't they?"
 No, they don't. And they all go on the theory that one has nursemaid or two and a governess."
 And you haven't any?"
 "No, I haven't any. And SO none of the books seemed to fit my case. Be sides, while I was studying the chil- dren kept getting into trouble and hurt ing themselves and acquiring all sorts of bad tricks. So I've gone back to studying the children and have left the books to people who have some one to look after their children while they experiment with their books" - New York Press.
