Ant ESths.


Persons who are troubled with rheu.
matism In Russia take ant baths as a
cure. It Is done in this way by the
peasants near Moscow. Finding an
ants nest, he puts into linen bag the
ants, their eggs and necessarily consid-
cradle dirt. Returning to the home, he
plunges into the hot water Of the bath
his bag of ants, which he has previous.
~ fastened tightly at the mouth. After
several minutes the water gives off a
very strong penetrating odor Of formio
acid. The bath is now ready, and the
invalid is put into it. Such bath has
a very active irritant action on the
skin, being, in fact, counter irritation
that causes the rheumatic pains to dis.
appear.-Strand Magazine.

To Tell a Fashionable Restaurant.

''When l was young" said an old
bachelor, 'at all the fashionable res.
taurants you wrote your order. That
was the way to distinguish the really
fashionable restaurant. You wrote your
order there, whereas in the common
one you gave it to the waiter orally.
Ordering is difficult matter. It is a
thing, especially when one has guests,
that one is likely to get fustered over;
hence I always liked to write my or
der. 1t kept me cool. But a waiter,
standing over me, suggesting dishes !
didn't want hurrying me, had the
power to rattle me completely. But
fashionable restaurants no longer are
to be distinguished by this writing
business. Writing has disappeared
from them. They are to be distin-
guished now by their French menus
bothersome things that call sweet
bread ris de veau, potpie a vol au
vent and leg Of mutton a gigot"-

Senators McGo van and Wright
have each introduc, d bills re-
quiring corporations to regis 'el
their lobbyists with the secretary
of state and file, within thirty
days after the adjournment of
legislature, statements of their
expenses. Such legislation il
adopted, would probably be IN,
constitutional, and if not uncon-
st.tutional, simply a source of
perjury and false statements,
and would be of no practical
effect.
But there is a serious side of
this matter. II a legislator is
so weak that he needs to be pro-
tected by excluding lobbyists
from the Legislative halls, and
have the lobbyists registered, as
proposed, he had bet er never
have gone TO the legislature, and
the quicker he resigns and allows
a strong minded man to be re-
turned in his place the better it
will be for him and his const t..
uants.

Man and His Pockets.

A tailor who had received an order
for suit Of clothes was asked by the
customers wife for an interview.
II want to ask you as a special ia
vor," she said, mot to put any pockets
in my husbands clothes.''
''Why not?" asked the astonished
tailor.
Because they are responsible for
his looking so shabby so much Of the
time" she explained. "He wears his
clothes for weeks without pressing be-
cause he says it Is too much trouble to
change the things in his pockets to an
other suit. He says that half the men
who go around in seedy clothes do so
for the same reason. If that Is SO, just
leave out the pockets, and they will
have no excuse for shabbiness.''
THAT is new point of view," said
the tailor. II will see about it,
But when the. suit came home it had
the usual number Of pockets. =. New

How rlate Glass Is Made.


The cast plate glass of which mirrors,
shop windows and such things are
made Is prepared from the whitest
sand, broken plate glass, soda, small
amount of manganese and cobalt
oxides. The glass when perfectly
melted is poured upon an iron table
of the size required, and the thickness
Is regulated by a strip of iron placed
down each Of the four sides Of the
table. Immediately after it is poured
out the molten substance is fattened
down by an iron roller, which lowers
the glass to the thickness of the strips
at the sides. 1t is then annealed or
tempered for several days, after which
it is ground perfectly level and polished
to transparent brilliancy. The first
plate glass was made In 1858 at st.
Picardy, France, where the process
was found out by an accident, as so
many other important methods in
manufacture have been discovered.
where there were eyes to see the acct
dents and minds to apply them or the
lessons they taught to the advance of
art or industry.

A Turkish Joke.

A certain sultan Of Turkey was very
fond Of gossip and sent for the bank
er, Abraham Beg, to learn the small
talk Of Pera and Stamboul. AS Abra-
ham was being conducted to the sui
tan's residence by the master Of the
horse that functionary begged him,
should the sultan question him on the
subject to say that the funds were
at 30, his majesty having been SO in
formed by his ministers.
Poor Abraham consented.
He had not been long with Abdul
Aziz when he was questioned as to the
funds and replied as he had promised.
To the horror of the banker, the sui
tan expressed himself delighted and
handed Abraham a large bundle Of
bonds to sell for him.
Abraham sold at IL and paid Abdul
Aziz 30. The sultan had originated
that little coke"

How Fro.tbite Comes.

The first effect Of cold on the skin is
to contract the tiny vessels that connect
arteries and veins. Arteries are YES
sells that take blood from the heart.
Veins are those that bring blood back
to the heart, and the connecting yes.
sells are called 'capillaries. While these
little vessels are contracting the skin
itself becomes tenser. In few mo-
ments Or minutes the effects change.
The tiny nerves whose stimulation
caused contraction Of the capillaries
are more or less paralyzed, and the yes
sells dilate SO the skin gets red. Soon
the veins are dilated, and the skin be.
comes BLUSH Then the nutrient fluid
in the skin (the lymph Is coagulated,
and the stretched skin ruptures or
CHAPS" If the cold Is more severe its
action Is deeper, and the blood itself
may be coagulated. This Is frostbite.

Tennis and Lawn Tennis.

There are thousands who imagine
that tennis and lawn tennis are identi-
cal. In America tennis the mother
game, is always known as court ten
mis-, whereas lawn tennis is gener-
ally known as tennis" The games
are in many respects very diff
ferent. The court, which in lawn
tennis is open, in tennis is closed
at the back and sides by the walls, and
almost invariably above by roof.
There is a considerab BILE amount of play
off the back and side walls. The balls
are harder than lawn tennis balls, be-
ing, in fact, Of the consistency Of
cricket balls. Hence the rackets are
heavier and the gut is thicker.-Fry'

Venezuelan Cowhoxs.

When the Venezuelan cowboy wishes
to catch bull or COW for branding or
for any purpose, he rides alongside it
and, with horse and bovine on the
dead run, stoops from his saddle,
grasps the creatures tail and with a
sharp, peculiar twist sends the animal
rolling on it's back. From the force
with which it falls the creatures
horns almost invariably pin it's head
to the ground, giving the vaquero time
to dismount and sit on its head, hold
ing the animal helpless to rise, while a
companion ties It's legs.

DubuOue,s Seal.

On the city seal Of Dubuque, Ia, ap.
pear the words LA petite mutt" and
strangers are always puzzled by them.
Why should Dubuque be called ".tll
little night?" It is explained that the
place originally was settled by an old
miner named Dubuque. When the In.
dams granted certain lands to Dubuque
the document was drawn up in Frenck
In Prairie du Chen. The clerk who
did the work believed that ia petite
mutt" meant "the old MINER" and his
mistake has perpetuated a phrase
which, however pretty, has no signif1-
canoe in its present connection.

Songs and Sentiment.

It is singular fact that in proper
ton to the wealth Of melody of a ma
ton so does it's emotional side develop.
Remarkable instances Of this are to be
found In the United Kingdom. In
Scotland, Ireland and Wales, countries
rich in national songs, the emotional
nature is strong. In England, where
the melodies, if sweet, at any rate are
not so touching and appealing, senti-
ment is slight.-Liverpool Courier.

hired at all? Why not put men

There is no more effective weapon to
defend us from impertinence or rude.
ness than quick, sharp wit But few
men have it, and it is born with them.

forced into growth. But courtesy and
good temper can. These weapons are
sure and grow brighter and stronger
