STORIES or BEAU BRUMMEL
Spoke Lightly of His Humble Birth,
But Once Net His
Match.

An English paper prints number OF
storoes of Beau Brumme1, some OF
which. perhaps, are not generally
known. At pavilion at Brighton he
ordered the footman to empty his snuff
box into the fire because bishop had
taken a pinch unasked. A man whom
he had met at dinner offered him lift
in his carriage to Lady Jerseys ball.
Thank you, exceedingly" said the
Beau, but how are you to go? You
would not like to get up behind, and /
cannot be seen IN the same carriage
with you =
He made no secret OF his humble
birth, and when asked about his par

ANT WHICH CUTS LEAVES.
Species Of the Tropics That Destroys
Whole Groves Of Quinine
and Coffee Trees.

In the tropical countries there IS
species of ant known as the leaf-cut-
ter. It is the habit of these ants to go
forth each day and cut the leaves from
trees and plants that grow in their
vicinity. In South America these leaf
cutters have been known to destroy
whole groves OF quinine and coffee
trees by stripping them bare of their
foliage. Orange and mango trees also
suffer greatly from these ravages.
But those who have made the ant
and his ways of life study say the
little insect does not work such de-
struction through mere wantonness.
Leaf gathering is the means OF his
livelihood, as is the fruit and grain
gathering a means OF sustenance to
man.
After cutting the leaves the ants car
ry them to their underground dwell
ings, where they bite them into small
bits and stack them in thick, close
layers to ferment. This process OF
fermentation goes on sometimes in the
dark, damp place, and then there
springs from the rich leaf mold tiny,
tender fungus. This crop Of fungus is
carefully watched by the ant farmer
and when it is ripe it is cut and stored
away for food.
AS the ants are extremely fond OF
this diet, they work constantly to keep
an inexhaustible supply OF rotting
leaves in their fungus fields. Often
| when the ant settlement is large one
they are obliged to go long distances
to obtain leaves enough to supply
them, and it is wonderful to see the
splendid roads they make through the
forest. These roads are laid out as
straight as a chalk line and are kept
clean and smooth by the busy little
| travellers.
The leaf-cutter knows no obstacle,
for he goes around nothing that hap
pens to stretch across his path. Il a
| log or stone interferes with his road
way he goes over it-never around it.
| If a stretch of unfit ground is ap-
| preached he tunnels beneath It, but
goes as straight on his way. as II he
were held in by stone walls at either
side.

TAXES DOC UP a sTEEPLE.
Daring Climber Pays No Feed TO
the Dizzy Height He
Scales.

Accompanied by his pet dog, fred
Sutherland, better known as the @hu-
man fly" scales heights that would
make the common person i'll from
fright and dizziness, says the Detroit
Tribune. A short time ago the authori-
ties Of Most Holy Trinity Catholic
church, Sixth and Porter streets, de-
eided their spire needed repairing,
and that the large wooden cross at the
top needed to be replaced with larger
one of galvanized IRON Sutherland was
sent for. The top Of the spire is 240
feet above the sidewalk
Il can go up it in two minutes, said
he, ana he very nearly made good his
assertion. It was only when the cross,
four by six feet, had to be lowered
that any real danger presented itself.
Being Of wood and having been in po-
sitiou since the church was built, 1t
had somewhat rotted and giving way,
was near to throwing Sutherland from
the steeple.
Sutherland is Californian by birth,
but has dene stseplework in all parts
Of this country and Europe. Sutherland
had his dog s1ung in little hammock
On his side while working at the top
of Trinity spire. The dog has as little
regard for height as his master.

NAMES BEST DOCTOR.
MR RAYssON PUBLISHES RESULTS
OF VALUABLE EXPERIENCE.

i Former Pronounced Dyspeptic He Now
Reiofces In Perfect Freedom from
Miseries of Indigestion.
Thousands Of sufferers know that the
reason why they are irritable and de-
pressed and nervous and sleepless is be-
cause their food does not digest, but how
to etrid Of the difficulty is the pnzzhng
question.
Good digestion calls for strong diges-
tive organs, and strength comes from .
supply OF good rich blood. For this
reason Mr.. Baysson took DR.. Williams
Pink Pills for the cure Of indigestion.
"They have been my best doctor" he
says. II was suffering from dyspepsia.
The pains in my stomach after meals
were almost unbearable. My sleep was
yery irregular and my complexion was
sa1low. As the result Of using eight
boxes Of DR.. Williams Pink Pills, about
the merits Of which / learned from
friends in France, I have escaped all
these troubles, and am able again to take
pleasure in eating"
A very simple story, but II it had not
been for DR.. Williams Pink Pills it
might have been a tragic one. When dis
comfort begins with eating, fills up the
intervals between meals with pain, and
prevents sleep at night, there certainly
cannot be much pleasure III living. A
final general breaking down must be
merely question of t1iae.
Mr.. Joseph Baysson Is a native OF
Aix-les-B -Bains, France, but new resides
at No. 2439 Larkin street, San Frzacisco,
Cal, He is one Of a great number who
can testify to the remarkable efficacy OF
Dr.. Williams Pink Pills in the treatment
Of obstinate disorders Of the stomach.
If you would get rid OF nausea, pain or
burning in the stomach, vertigo, ner-
vousness, insomnia, or any OF the other
| miseries of a dyspepsic, get rid OF the
| weakness Of the digestive organs by the
use of DR.. Williams Pink Pills. They
| are sold by druggists everywhere.
Proper diet is, Of course, a great aid In
forwarding recovery once begun, aud a
little book, "What to Eat and How to
Eat, . may be obtained by any one who
makes request for it by writing to the
Dr.. Williams Medical Co., Schenectady,
NY. This valuable diet book contains
an important chapter on the simplest
means for the cure of constipation.

Rabbit Fur Woven Into Fabric

One of the strangess OF modern
Industries is that carried on by NJ Pat
-ChatetaiE at LousIe-saunIer, In tas
Jura district of France. It consists Ii
taking the fur from live rabbits and
Weaving it into textile fabric which
makes the warmest kind Of clothing ma

which furnish the raw" material for
the manufacturing process is the An
CORA rabbit, which has received the
name Of the silk rabbit Every three
months the rabbit sheds its fur, and
several days before this takes place
nature Is anticipated by female hands
which remove the long siIken hairs
by gentle friction. The skin is al

the slightest pain from the operation.
