THE ANT EATER.
A Harmless Animal That Will Fight
 Hard When at Bay.

A Harmless Animal That Will Fight
 Hard When at Bay.
 A peculiar looking animal is the ant eater. which is closely allied to the sloth family. Its head is drawn out into long. tubular muzzle. at the end of which is a tiny mouth just big enough to permit the exit of it's long, wormlike tongue, which is covered with a sticky saliva.
 This tongue is thrust among the hosts of ants with great rapidity, con- ing back laden with the tiny insects. To obtain its prey the ant eater breaks open the ant hills. when all the active inha bitants swarm to the breach and are instantaneously swept away by the remorseless tongue.
 The jaws of the ant eater are entire ly without teeth. and the eyes ana ears are very small.
 There are several species of ant eat CT, the largest kind being about four feet long and having a tail covered with very long hair, forming huge brush. The claw on the third toe of each fore limb is of great size and is used for breaking open ants and other insects nests.
 Generally speaking. the ant eater is a harmless animal. but at times when at bay it will fight with great cour age, sitting up on its hind legs and hugging its foe with its powerful arms London Express.

PoTPoURRl MAKING.
How to Prepare and Select the Various
 ingredients.

How to Prepare and Select the Various
 ingredients.
 For a dweller in the country or the garden surrounded suburb the follow ing suggestions for gathering and pre- serving the sweetness and fragrance of the spring and summer for delecta- ton in the winter months by setting ap a potpourri jar are recommended to every young girl who has access to a garden or the fields and woods. Any one of the quaint and pretty patterns of rose jafs procurable at any big shop will answer for holding the potpourri itself, which consists not only of rose leaves, but of the petals and leaves of any sweet scented plant. The putting up of the potpourri con- sequently extends through spring and early summer. just as the different blossoms come out. There are few general directions which must be close ly followed in making potpourri. The rose jar itself, as also the vessel in which the potpourri is mixed, must : be perfectly new-must never before have been used The salt used in the making must be toasted in the oven to insure Its absolutely dryness. The blossoms and leaves must be young and tender when gathered. entirely un- wilted and must be used when perfect ly fresh-not after lying by or standing in water. The ingredients must be thoroughly stirred up at least once better twice-a day. and when the pot: pourri is all gathered and mixed it should be exposed for two or three weeks to the heat of the August sun. 1 Here follow two recipes for pot pourri ingredients. They are copied i from an old book handed down from mother to daughter in German baro- nial family and have been followed, as have also the general instructions given above. and found reliable and satisfactory even in the present genera tion:
 i First.-One pound fresh pickled orange blossoms, half pound of roses, i half pound of mace, half pound of lavender and four ounces of mario ram leaves. four ounces of carnations, four ounces oxalis, one ounce rose- mary, one ounce cloves and half an ounce of bay leaves.
 Second.-One pound of orange blos- sons. one pound of roses, half pound of red carnations, half pound each of marjoram and myrtle, two ounces each of nutmeg, thyme. lavender, sage. camomile and sweet basil, fifteen or twenty bay leaves and three handfuls of jasmine. Let the mixture stand for a month. stirring twice day, and then add ten ounces of powdered orris root, two ounces of cinnamon and two of cloves, with six drams each of vel low sandalwood and chyper.
 Both the above recipes call for half a pound of salt--absolutely dry-to draw out every bit of perfume.
