The Boston & Maine railroad is re-
ported to be using peat briquettes on
some of its engines on the shorter
runs and on its yard engines. The
brlquettes make a hot fire at smaller
cost than coal, and the engines throw
off little or no smoke The only dis
advantage thus far encountered is the
requirement of a special furnace. Peat
fuel and coal can not be used on the

now SHE GOT EIGHT.

Mrs Mary LePage, who has just been married for the eighth time, tells her loving and ambitious sisters how to do it. This is her recipe: "A woman must make herself necessary to a man, She must contribute to his comfort, material and mental. She must be so- licitous of him, and she needn't hide it, either She must always be on the lookout for his advancement. She must be a helpmeet in every sense of the word. If she helps him before mar riage, it is promise that she will help him after. I woo by hattery of every sort. have found that from wom- an of thirty a man can stand any amount of it. All she must be careful about is to make it seem sincere
 This indicates that Mrs. Page is a wise one, and understands men and women. It should also be noted that she knows how to keep husbands as well as get them. She has found it necessary to get divorced from only two of the seven who preceded the eighth The other five are safely, and, for all We know, happily dead.

SHEATING IND EATING

It is getting harder and harder to tell what Democracy really is. The New York Democratic convention which nominated Hearst took try at the problem, and this is the result: At this time, when the authority of Democracy is invoked to defend plunder of the masses by few rich men, through partial laws on one hand and on the other to justify many extravagant and revolutionary proposals, which if adopt ed must inevitably produce worse dis asters than the abuses they seek to cure. we deem it eminently fitting to declare that the whole Democratic prin- ciple is embraced in the injunction laid on the first man-that in the sweat of their brows he and all his posterity must eat their bread. Democracy we hold. is but the application of this prin- ciple to political institutions through the organization of government, for the sole purpose of assuring every man the right-to eat undisturhad all th@@ @h'AaA

Father tBiever, who & recognized authority ih matters pertaining to in- sect life, has made close study of the ant, with special attention to those va reties found in New Orleans. Ants have increased with such rapidity dur ing the last few years, says Father Bleyer. that their destruction is of great importhnc not only because of the annoyance and inconvenience they occasion, but also because of the seri- ous economic damage they bring about.
 These insects, so says the scientist, are a serious problem to the truck far mer and to the landscape gardener. They make their nests around the roots of plants, eat the foliage of shrubs, sap the life out of trees.
 Father Biever remarked that many trees along St. Charles avenue have been killed by ants, and that these in- sects were preventing the growth of the younger plants on the boulevards. As for their relation to the household, every one knew these pests were per- petually btrusive. They take posses sion of the refrigerator, burrow in the cellar, dig in the sugar barrel, fall into the syrup keg, and make themselves at home almost everywhere.
 Father Blever is now preparing an account of his studies of ants, their habits and the best means of riding the community of these depredators. This he will give to the public in a short time, He says the ant which is taking possession of New Orleans is an allen and halls from Central America, from where it was perhaps brought In fruit ships These ants make war on the members of other species, and have driven almost all the natives away, thus claiming the entire field for them selves
 The citizens of this city have made all sorts of efforts to circumvent the attacks of these insects, but have gen erally given up in despair. If bunch l of ants decide to raid a sugar bowl on
 the top shelf of pantry there is noth-
 ing that can prevent them. You may
