Ants as Weather Prophets.


Ans as weather prophets afford new
testimony to the cleverness of these small
animals. When you go out on spring
morning and find the ants busily en-
gagged In clearing out their nests and
dragging the sand and bits OF earth to
the surface you may be sure that. no
matter how cloudy it is. there will be no
rain that day, and the probabilities are
for several days Of good weather.
If. however. you see the ants about the
middle Of a spring or summer afternoon
hurrying back to the nest and sentinel
trotting out in every direction looking up
stragglefs and urging them to go home
as soon as they can get there, you may
figure on a rain that afternoon or night.
When the last of the wanderers is found
the picket hurries in and the nest is Sc
curely sealed from the inside to keep out
the water. 1t is seldom that ants are
taken by surprise by the approach of a
shower.

TRIUMPH OF THE TENEMENT
Crushes All Humanity Out Of tn
Wretched Dweller.


The crushing influence Of the tenement
house! I saw it's perfect product in one
old woman that came to the door In an
swer to my knock. She was sixty-ave or
seventy, with silver hair, and she looked
respectable and decent In spite Of her sur
roundings: but the last vestige of the
human spirit had lonE been crushed out
Of her. She looked about her with a
vague. senseless terror. and she cringed
and fawned 80 pitiably at every question
1t would have made you sorry and
ashamed to see her.
In her vision there was nothing left but
disaster; the coming Of some stranger
the asking Of the simplest question. fore
BODIED trouble. She would not believe
that any one could come to her except
with evil intent. and yet she had no idea
Of resenting anything. but only of trying
in some blind way to propitiate misfor-
tune. She had lived in tenement houses

HUNTING THE RHINoCERoS.
Deadliest Foe That the Ivory Hunter
Has to Meet.

From Everybodys Magazine
To my mind rhinoceros hunting is tAe
most dangerous of all hunting bar none
I have had a worse time with rhinos than
with lions, elephants, leopards or buffalo
The beast seems possessed Of sort Of
devilish cunning: you can't fool him as
you can an elephant. nor intimidate him
as you can a lion. Unless aroused he is
timid and nervous during the day. and
particularly so when alone. But at night
he seems to lose absolutely all fear of
man. He does not wait to be attacked
but has an unpleasant habit of charging
anything he sees in the shape of an
enemy as soon as he sees it-and his
sight is remarkably keen. Besides. like
the elephant. the rhinoceros can, when he
wants to. show speed that is nothing
short of marvellous. when one considers
his huge and clumsy bulk. / have known
cases where rhino got Sight CT hunter
and deliberately stalk I'd him. coming upon
him before the man had an idea that he
was anywhere in T., vicinity. And he al
ways dies fighting: l have never known q
rhino however badly wounded, to try to
holt for safety. Once you rouse him. you
must l,,ll him. or he'll kill you II he can
can get YOU.

OLD SUMMER DRINKS.
Baked Buttermilk for Complexion
How It Was Prepared.

From the London Standard
Buttermilk in days long gone by was
almost fetish in the hands Of the beau
ties Of the time. When Marie Antoinette
and her ladies rolled up the sleeves OF
their Powered muslins and played with
churns and cream bowls in the laiterfe
at the petit Trianon, the buttermilk craze
was at it's height.
Unguents for the face as we'll as the
potions in which they INDUCED were prob
ably responsible for the lovely complex
ions which made poets compose odes to
the bloom of their cheeks and painters al
most implore on their knees that disdain-
full beauties should relent so far as to
have their charms immortalized. In baked
buttermilk one of the strongholds of the
complexion was said to lie. In few
DAYS it worked wonders while persever-
ance in its use during the whole of the
summer months would preserve the skin
smooth and soft as a roseleaf.
Where the sour milk prophet errs today
is in insuficiently diluting the buttermilk
the proportions in the genuine old recipes
of the past being that Of a gill to pint
jar with fitted lid and placed before
the open range during the whole, of
day.
BY night the milk had turned to the
consistency of clotted cream. in which
state it was poured from height from
one vessel to another until, by some magi-
cal means, the contents had gone back
once more to the smoothness Of fresh
milk It was then sweetened with cane
sugar and inclosed finally in stone bot
tie. corked down tightly and placed before
the fire, but not too near, for five or six
hours At first baked buttermilk does
not always appear particularly pleasing.
the mere fact that it is distinctly sour
making it an acquired taste.
If 1t was not acid, however, it was
scarcely considered to have been perfectly
made, while II 1t effervesced when the
bottle was opened 1t formed not only a
more refreshing summer drink. particular
ly when we'll iced. but was thought to be
particularly eff1cacious as a means of i'm
proving the complexion.

Very truly yours, J. r. MORGAN.
1907 NJ ST.. NV. city.

Tombstone Editor. Evening Star:
The explanation Of the riddle that Is
creating so much interest is very simple
and Is as follows:
Two men-A and B-married the daugh-
tiers of the grandmothers referred to, and
each has a daughter. They then lose
their wives and each marrtes his mother
in-law The two grandmothers are the
mothers (stepmothers) of their two grand
daughters. They are also the wives re-
ferred to and the mothers Qn-law) OF
their two sons.
The six persons buried under the messy
slab were four women and two men, as
above. The deceased first wives OF the
two men can be accounted for by crema-
ton or drowning bodies not being recov-
cred, or burial elsewhere, as may suit
the readers Imagination. A. B. G.
Tombstone Editor. Evening Star:
Your riddle shows what can come Of
taking President Roosevelt's advice too
often. 1t seems to me the relationship
between the various parties would become
so badly twisted that the lawyer who had
to apply the law of descent to the situa-
ton in order to distribute the property
would die in q madhouse before he got
through. There are three sets Of couples.
according to the riddle. Two sets must
be women and one set men. Now, how
four women can stand In tho relationship
of grandmother, mother. daughter and
granddaughter at the same time IL past
my comprehension. It is easy enough for
the men to be husbands and fathers. or
