NOTED BY NATURALISTs.

Birds, however wary, are curious, and
will approach a strange object at the
risk of their lives, as wild-fowl shooters
know
Brazilian ants make little gardens in
the tree tops and sow them with pine
apple and other seeds. The gardens are
found of all sizes, some containing a
single sprout and others densely grown
ball as large as mans head.
There are several species of fish, rep
tiles and insects which never sleep in
the whole Of their existence. Among
fish 1t is positively known that pike,
salmon and goldfish never sleep at all,
also that there are several others in
the fish family that never sleep more
than few minutes month. There are
dozens Of species of flies which never in
dulge in slumber
In the proceedings of the Philadelphia
academy Miss A. M. Fielde records three
Instances of curious traits displayed by
ants kept under observation in the
laboratory at Woods Holl, Mass. In
the first case the actions recorded
suggest something akin to hypnot-
ism, while from the third there seems a
possibility that these insects may be
able to remember and recognize indi-
viduals of their own kind after sep
aration Of several years.
The anneiid, Podynce cirrata, is q
mean looking worm about an inch and
q half in length, of fattened shape, blunt
at both ends, apparently covered by
smooth skin of dull brown color. On
being touched 1t throws itself into ele-
CANT serpentine curves, and then what
appears to be the upper skin is seen to
be composed of great number of round
fiat membraneous plates or shields, ar
ranged in two rows, overlapping each
other. These, though of larger size,
are attached to the body by small
point in the center of their sides, so
that when the animal moves the edges
of the shields are lifted and reveal their
live structure, sliding upon each other
In a singular fashion.

RUMoRED OF ROYALTY.

Prince Eugen Of Sweden, youngest
of King Oscars four sons, is regarded
as one Of the most accomplished land
scape painters on the continent.
Nineteen pianos, every one OF which
was wedding present, are in the pos
session of the prince and princess OF
Wales.
The sultan of Morocco has the pleas
ant habit of turning about 20 lions
loose in the courtyards Of his palace
every night. He thinks they guard his
5000 wives more safely than soldiers
could.
Queen Wilhelmina In appointing q
Roman Catholic, Jonkherr Van Green,
as her private secretary, puts one OF
that faith In a responsible position IN
the royal household for the first time
since the reformation.
Queen Elena of Italy is said to be-
lieve in the Montenegrin superstition
that it is unlucky for a child to sleep
in a room into which any light pene-
trates, and light-proof shutters are the
order in the nursery at Rome.
In one respect at least Prince Ed
ward does not take after his father.
He Is fond of making little speeches
when opportunities present them
selves. The prince of Wales, on the
other hand, dislikes nothing more than
having to deliver speech.
Apropos of the kaiser's latest per-
Torrance as q conductor Of new
opera at a dress rehearsal in Berlin,
his patronage of music Is something
as magnificent as are his excursions
into the realms Of art, mechanics and
chemistry. x do not think many Ger
mans know" said the emperor at a
dinner at Count Won Buelow's few
evenings ago, ''that spent last year
out of my private income 100000
on operas and theaters."

GATE THAT WON'T SAG.

arm should be about ten inches long.
Bore a hole through the post under
the board near the edge of the post, put
the threaded end of the bent iron
through and screw on the nut. Have
the same arrangement at the lower
part of the gate. When the gate is to
be closed turn the bar SO that it will
not be in the way, and so when the
gate is closed it will rest on the bar.
Then turn the bar back so that the up
right piece will be in position over the
board If, after a while, the bar works
too readily, e nail may be placed in po-
sition against which the bar will rest
when it is turned.
The illustration with the drawn de-
tails shows the whole plan in such a
clear manner that anyone can con-
struct such a gate and attach the
latches.

THE GURLER MILK Pail
An Invention, Free to the p,h,;o
Which Is an Aid to Keeping
Milk Clean.

Inc Gurier milk pail, which is shown
IA me Illustration, is pail conceived nv
II. 3. Gurler, of De Kalb, ILL.,, who has for
years oeen making high-class Of sani-
lary milk for Chicago infants and in
sailas. 1t is not patented, neither do 7

Inc cover is removed from one pail
sho the hooks where the gauze is at

tached can readily be seen. The absor-
bent cotton is spread between two lay
ers OF gauze, and the whole is attached
by catching over the hooks on the cover.
The pail is emptied through the covered
spout, so that it is not opened until the
milking is completed. The expense for
gauze and cotton is slight, and these
should be used fresh every milking. At
the same time it must be distinctly UNI
derstood that this is not lazy or shift
less mans pail. 1t is not built to re-
lleve from any obligation resting on the
dairyman, but is one of the essential
steps toward clean, sweet, pure milk, to
be observed along with each and every
other it high-class product is desired.
Cows must be brushed, udders kept
clean, tie-ups made healthy and good,
sound food provided, and if anyone is
neglected the pail can surely have no
place, for it accompanies those steps Of
athoroughness which give Mr.. Gurler and
a few others national regulations and
success in the production of sanitary
milk. BY all means get the pail and
milk through absorbent cotton, but let
this be only the measure of neatness
manifest at every step. When we reach
this standard of dairy work the poor
cream will be eliminated, barn odors
will disappear, filth will not be found in
the separators, and better demand and
higher prices will be realized by the in
dividual producers In the cry now
going up for pure food products the first
step is to guard the milk supply, if for
no other reason than that it plays such
an important part in saving the lives Of
the little ones

ALL-ARoUND FARM GATE.
This Tells How Cne May Be Built
Which Will Do Away with
All sagging.

When a gate is Of considerable
length, as farm gates must be to let a
wagon pass through, there is always
danger that they will sag, and mainly
because the device used for the latch
is faulty. Try the following plan of
constructing latch and see if it does
not work well, says the Indianapolis
News. Have the blacksmith bend a
piece of half-inch round iron in L
shape, making one arm one-quarter OF
an inch longer than the thickness of
the post and the gate-board; the other

A Comedians Joke.

4 celebrated Irish comedian went Ill
to BARRIERS shop to get shaved and,
finding the barber out. he determined
to have little fun before his return.
So he took off his coat, put on a thin
ner one and quietly waited for Il GUS
toner. An old gentleman came in soon.
''Shave, SIR" said our pretended bar
Der.
The old gentleman took chair and
the comedian began to lather, expect
ing every moment the barber would
appear. Five minutes passed and no
barber Five more and still no barber.
The joker began to get desperate and
conceived bright idea. Putting up
his brush he quickly changed his coat
again, took his hat, and was about to
quietly step out behind the gentle
mans back when that worthy turned
his head and exclaimed
Here, sir, aren't you going to shave
me?"
mo, sir" promptly replied the CO.
median. THE fact is, we only lather
here, sir They shave four doors be-
low
Then he bolted out of the door, leav-
ing the indignant old fellow to his
wrath.

A Costly Conn ma.

A number of years ago when the
United States by it's congress was max
ing a tariff bill one of the sections
enumerated what articles should be ad-
mitted free of duty. Among the many.
articles specified were ''all foreign fruit
plants" etc, meaning plants imported
for transplanting, propagation OF ex-
pertinent. The enrolling clerk in copy
ing the bill accidentally. changed the
hyphen in the compound word fruit
plants to comma, making it read,
'all foreign fruits, plants" etc. AS
result of this simple mistake for a
year, Or until congress could remedy
the blunder, all the oranges, lemons,
bananas, grapes and other foreign
fruits were admitted free of duty. This
little mistake, which any one would be
liable to make, yet could have avoided
by carefulness, cost the government
not less than 100000, A pretty cost
~ comma that.
