Drew the Wrong Conclusion.
arisatlon Scientif.que

ITUm a NuISarIEatIOE StltntHQue.
The sting of an ant, as everybody knows
b. experience, is a very disagreeable thing.
1t s generally believed that the irritation
is due to forinic acid and within the last
few years a doctor of Lyons, accepting this
belief, has been advising the use of aka
line formates to counteract the effects of
fatigue, his theory being that ants owe
their indefatigable energy to the presence
of this acid in their organism.
1t is never advisable, however to draw
conclusions from arguments, more or less
capable of refutaton, which are advanced
in support of a particular theory. for
it has been shown recently by NJ. Forel
that out of 500 known varieties of the
ant only a very few Chose of the lampono-
timoean subvariety) have glands contain
ing formic acid. All the others are either
stngless or possess a venom other than
formic acid.

not put the car out of action. They car
be run at high speed along level roads and

''Kind friends. listen to my lay,
Help the old man Oh his way"

He was very old man, indeed, and so
rheumatic that he could barely hobble along
even with the aid of two canes. He was a
cheerful old fellow. however and the voice
he lifted to exploit his shoestrings had a
jovial twang to it, wheezy as it was, from
poverty and age.
The song caught the attention of a tiny
boy in white pque who playing on the
pavement, and, with the lteralness of hon
est childhood, he trotted up to the singer
and reached up his bit of hand.
I'm help you on your way. I'll help you
till get to the corner, and then some other
little boy will have to help you, cause
mamma won't let me cross the street"
And the old man, seeing the humor of the
situation-and. maybe, the pathos of it-let
the child think he was really and truly
helping him.
And the two walked to the corner to-
gether.

Pennsylvania avenue rested peacefully in
the dusk. Lanterns made a chain of fire
from Capitol to Treasury, and ruby sig
nails glowed on the piles of stone and gravel
that lined both sides of the track.
The red-starred twilight must have ap-
pealed to one of two women who were
lettering along the avenue. for after a gen.
eral survey up and down the street she
directed the other womans attention to a
special heap of stone surmounted by a red
lamp.
There's a combination I'm going to use.

Federation Has a Million.

DENVER, June 1.-THE second SEES.
sion OF the Western Federation of
Miners convention is on today. 1t
developed that the entire funds of the
FEEDER alton have been put under safety
bonds to protect the Federation from
any loss by suit or otherwise.
More than a million dollars was in
the treasury at the time of the trouble
in the Cripple Creek district, which
has eliminated in the trial Of Meyer,
Pettibone and Haywood at Boise. and
while there has been q considerable
drain on the treasury, the Federation
still has a large AMOUNT OF money in
the Colorado banks.
Owing to the trial Of William D.
Haywood aud the testimony of Harry
Orchard to the effect that the officers
Of the Western Federation OF Miners
had planned and paid for different
crimes, it is alleged that some parties
may consider the testimony as grounds
for damage suits against the organiza-
ton to be brought, IN conjunction
with the alleged conspiracy which the
Federation officials claim the mine
owners association has Matched to
put the organization out OF business.

Foulards In Favor.

FOulards are in favor again, and to
meet the demand, which Ia already
large, an unusual assortment Of colOrs
and attractive designs is ready. The
designs of the foulards are better than
they were several years ago. In fact.
nearly all the effects found In the 9th
er silks are also to be found In them.
Conventional white or black figures ON
black, white or colored grounds are es-
pecially plentiful. and they will be the
first choice for the costumes already
referred to. Persian patterns in all
the desirable tones are also conspicu-
GUS.
For borderel materials a big call is
anticipated, and all classes of dress
materials are prepared to meet it. The
newest idea. however. is the foulard
silk border patterns that come by the
var! in all tones to match the silks
with which they may be combined.
The Greek key Is the most used motive
and is to he had In white on the
new green's, rose colOrs, champagnes,
browns, etc, as we'll as in black on a
white ground and white on a black
