HABITS OF THE ANT.
The sleeping, the Waking and the
Toilet Before Work.

During sleep the ants body is quite
still. Occasionally may be noted reg
ular lifting up and setting down Of the
fore feet, one leg after another, with
almost rhythmic motion. The antennae
also have a gentle, quivering, appar-
entity involuntary movement, almost
like breathing. The soundness OF slum-
Der was frequently proved by applying
the feather end OF a quill. The feather
tip is lightly drawn along the back,
strOking with the fur" There is no
motion. Again and again this action Ia
ually heavier. Still there is no change.
The strokes are directed upon the head,
with the same result. Then the feath-
er is applied to the neck with a waving
motion intended to tickle it. The ant
remains motiOnless. Finally the sleep
er is aroused by sharp touch of the
quill. She stretches out her head, then
her legs. which she shakes also; steps
nearer 10 the light, yawns and begins
to comb her antennae and brush her
head and mouth. Then she Chambers
over her sleeping comrades, dives into
an open gangway and soon has said
Good morning" to another tour Of
duty. Be 1t well noted, however, that
she has gone to work, as she and all
her fellows always do, not only rested,
but with her person perfectly clean!-

your relations turn for painting?"
inquired Sir John. What led you to

with you concerning his parish, and in
the course Of it you sent him colored
drawing of soldier in the uniform Of

LAWS ON EATING.
Meals at One Time Were Regulated
by Statute In England.

On Nov. 2, 1890. a law came into
force In England for the regulation of
meals and continued to have a place on
the statute book until 1887. 1t was de-
signed to check the evils resulting from
an excessive use Of costly meats and
enacted that no one should partake at
any place or time Except on specified
festivals and holidays to the number
Of sixteen days a year, of more than
two courses, each not consisting OF
more than two sorts Of v1ctuals, either
flesh or fish, with the common sorts OF
pottage, and inexpensive sauce. On
named feast days three courses were
allowed
This law was an extension Of an or
dinance issued by Edward ii. in 1915
regulating the meals Of his mobiles, the
greater Of whom were allowed In ad-
dition to two courses Of two kinds of

The Way the Kind Used In China
and Japan Is Made.
India ink, much used in China and
Japan for writing with small brushes
on soft paper ana made extensively In
China since go i. c., consists Of a
mixture of carbon and gum, with the
addition of a little musk or Borneo
camphor to give 1t the characteristic
odor. The preparation of this simple
ink IS by 10 means easy, for If the ma
terials are not OF the best quality and
if the carbon Is not as finely divided
as possible an inferior Ink will be the
result After the carbon and gum have
been mixed the product has to be slow
ly and carefully dried. The high polish
IS said to be produced with tree wax.
Europeans have produced ink equal
If not superior TO the genuine Chinese
article The reason why the manufac-
ture has remained chiefly in eastern
hands is an interesting one. The busi-
ness instinct OF the European maker
prompts him to seize any opportunity
of substituting cheaper raw materials
and so lowering the quality Of his ink,
while the tendency Of the Chinaman IS
to work on in the same groove, and in
this case his hidebound conservatism
