COOL WEATHER.

ATLANTIC CITY. Nov. With the
election over everything is settling down
TO its wonted peace and quiet in the
resort The hotels are again filling up
with people from all parts of tho couu-
Try and assuming au appearance Of
Eayety. Many OF the men who directed
the battle OF the ballots i'm several
states have come To the shore for a
brief rest and a little recreation before
again taking up the duties OF everyday
life.
In spite of the Iateness Of the season
there has been quite a good deal OF
ocean bathing. The swimmers all say
the water is not half as cold as one
would naturally believe. In spite OF all
their assertions, however, It is noticed
that none OF them stay in the water for
any great length Of time Heretofore
IL has been mostly men who have stuck
to the late bathing scheme, but this
year there are as many women as men
who are taking the daily dips in the
briny deep.

Ant Merchants,

Ant merchants, clad in leather un.
derwear, are to be found in Paris,
London and several other European
cities. Wherever pheasants are pre-.
served the ant merchant is in demand.
It is not, however, ants, but the eggs
Of ants, that the man chiefly deals in.
From every part Of Europe ants are
shipped to him, and he keeps them in
ant runs-places similar in their nature
to chicken runs-and he feeds and
tends them carefully, SO that their
health will keep fine and they will lay
generously.
The eggs he packs in wooden boxes
and ships to various earls, dukes,
counts and other game preserves in
different parts Of the world. And the
ants themselves he Stays as soon as
they cease to lay, pressing them and
selling them in black blocks similar
to plug tobacco to dealers in birds and
bird food.
1t is interesting to be an ant mer-
chant, but leather underwear Is essen
tial to the business, as the little crea-
lures bite unmercifully.-New Orleans

How He Did II.

when I was connected with a GER
tain western railway" says promi.
nent official of an eastern line, 1--WE
had in our employ brakeman who,
for special service rendered to the
road, was granted a months vacation.
He decided to spend his time in a
trip over the Rockies. We furnished
him with passes.
He went to Denver and there met
number of his friends at work on one
of the Colorado roads. They gave him
a good time and when he went away
made him present of a mountain
goat.
Evidently our brakeman was at a
loss to get the animal home with him,
as the express charges were very
heavy at that time Finally, however,
hitting upon happy expedient, he
made out shipping tag and tied it to
the horns of the goat. Then he pre-
sented the beast to the Office of the
stock car line.
"Well, that tag created no end of
amusement, but it served to accom-
plish the end of the brakeman. 1t was
inscribed as follows:
"'Please pass the butter. Thomas j..
Meechin, brakeman, S. 8. and T. Ry.'"
