DRIVER ANTS.
The Way These Ferooious Little in-
 socts Defy the Precincts.

 There are certain ants that show wonderful intelligence, and the driver ants" not only build boats, but launch them too. Only these boats are formed of their own bodies.
 They are called drivers because of their ferocity. Nothing can stand be- fore the attacks of these little crea- lures. Large pythons have been killed by them in single night, while chick ems, lizards and other animals in west ern Africa flee from them in terror. To protect themselves from the heat they erect arches, under which numer- ous armies of them pass in safety.
 Sometimes the arch is made of grass and earth and is gummed together by some secretion, and again it is formed by the bodies of the larger ants, which hold themselves together by their strong nippers while the workers pass under them.
 At certain times of the year freshcts overflow the country inhabited by the "drivers," and it is then that these ants go to sea. The rain comes suddenly. and the walls of their houses are broken in by the flood; but, instead of coming to the surface in scattered hun. dreds and being swept off to destruc- tion, out of the ruins rises a black ball that rides safely on the water and drifts away.
 At the first warning of danger the little creatures run together and form a solid body of ants, the weaker in the center. Often this ball is larger than q common cricket ball, and in this way they float about until they lodge against some tree, upon the branches of which they are soon safe and sound Weekly. ..-.

 Apparently they were advancing rather rapidly.

 She drew rein. He sprang out and whistled, and the Sagamore pup. dusty and happy, came romping back. Si- ward motioned him to the rumble. but the dog leaped to the front.

FACTS FROM FRANCE.

In France tree planting and forest preservation have become an important branch of education. .-..
 In France about 10000 widows man. age to fit themselves out with new husbands every year.
 Over 50,00O tons of peanuts arc brought to Bordeaux annually from Africa, and the value of the oil made from them Is S200o,OO0. Many French families prefer it for table use to olive oil, and it Is much cheaper too.
 The Church of St Pierre, at Mont martre. which has been closed for the last six years for repairs, is about to be reopened for public worship. It is the oldest church in Paris, having been built in the twelfth century by Louis VI. and his queen. Alix of Savoy.

 There is no economy that is so poor as buying cheap butter. Butter that is not good enough 10 eat is not good enough to cook with.
 Keep in your kitchen a small stiff brush for scrubbing the shells of oys- ters and crabs. Many people who use the picked crab meat think it is not fresh because they have not taken the trouble to thoroughly scrub the shells inside and out.

 Your dog is yard broken" he said Look at him"

 The horse started, Miss Landis look ing back over her shoulder at the dog who lay motionless, crouched fiat 1T the road.
 Then Siward turned Come on, Sag amore!' he said gayly, and the dog sprang forward. circled about the nov ing phaeton, splitting the air with yelps of ecstasy, then tore ahead, mad with the delight of stretching cramped muscles amid the long rank grass and shrubbery of the roadside.
 The girl watched him doubtfully When he disappeared far away up the road she turned the blue inquiry of her eyes on Siward.
 He'll be back" said the young fel- low, laughing. and presently the dog reappeared on tearing gallop, white flag tossing. glorious in his new liber- ty, enchanted with the confidence this tall young man had reposed in him this adorable young man, this wonder full friend who had suddenly appeared to release him from an undignifled and abominable situation in a crate.
 "A good dog" said Siward, and the girl looked around at him, partly be- cause his voice was pleasant, partly because vague memory was begin ming to stir within her, coupling some thing unpleasant with the name of Si- ward.
 She had been conscious of it when he first named himself. but, absorbed in the overwhelming importance of her telegram. had left the analysis of the matter for the future.
 She thought again of her telegram, theorized a little, came to no conclu- sion. except to let the matter rest for the present, and mentally turned to the next and far less important problem the question of this rather attractive young man at her side and why the name of Siward should be linked in her mind with anything disagreeable.

 The English luncheon dresses are for the most part made of chiffon broad cloth in some pale shade, with tend ency toward tan color.
 It Is a noticeable feature of dresses. both for the street and the house, that they favor some nationality. They are strongly English. decidedly French or typically Japanese.
 It is one of the features of the styles of the year that they are durable. Aft. ernoon gowns are made of very dura- ble kind of broadcloth calculated to clean we'll and so made that the gowns can be freshened without taking them apart.-Brooklyn Eagle.

 'T sec" Then listlessly, q couldn't have ventured % remind you that that perhaps you might not care to be so amiable"-
 'Mr. Slward," she said impulsively, "you are nice to me. Why shouldn't I be amiable? It was-it was-I've forgotten just how dreadfully you did behave"
 "Pretty badly"
 "Very." ...-.'.
 'They say so."
 And what is your opinion, Mir Si- ward?" "Oh, I ought to have known better" Something about him reminded her of bad small boy, and suddenly. in spite of her better sense. in spite of her in- stinctive caution, she found herself on the very verge of laughter What was 1t in the man that disarmed and invited confidence scarcely justified, it ap- peared? What was it now that moved her to overlook what few overlook, not the fault. but it's publicity? Was 1t his agreeable bearing. his pleasant badi- mage, his amiably llstless moments of preoccupation, his youth. that appealed to her, aroused her charity. her gener- osity, her curiosity?
 And had other people continued to accept him too? What would Quarter think of his presence at Shotover? She began to realize that she was a little afraid of Quarrier's opinions, and his opinions were always judg- ments. However. Grace Ferrall had thought 1t proper to ask him. and that meant social absolution. As far as that went. she also was perfectly ready to absolve him if he needed it.
 q was wondering" he said, looking up to encounter her clear eyes, whose house that is over there"
 Beverly Plank's shooting box, Black Fells." she replied, nodding toward the vast pile of blackish rocks against the sky. upon which sprawled heavy stone house infested with chimneys.
 Plank? Oh. yes"
 He smiled to remember the batter ing blows rained upon the ramparts of society by the master of Black Fells.
 But the smile faded, and, glancing at him. the girl was surprised to see the subtle change in his face-the white. worn look. then the listless apa- thy. which all at once to her hinted of something graver than preoecupa- ton.
 "ls that Shotover House" he asked as they came to the crest of the hillock between them and the sea.
 At last, Mir. Siward." she said mock ingly, and now your troubles are nearly ended"
 And yours. Miss Landis?"
 ''I don't know" she murmured to her self, thinking of the telegram with the faintest misgiving.
 Theory had almost decided her to answer Mir. Quarters suggestion with Yes" However he was coming from the lakes in a day or two. She would decide definitely when she had discussed the matter with him.

 Miss Landis." he said.
 "Mr. Siwardw very gently. It was her way to be gentle when generous.
 T think" he said. that you are be- ginning to remember where you may have heard my name."
 "Yes, little" She looked at him with the direct gaze of child, but the lovely eyes were troubled. His smile was not very genuine, but he met her gaze steadily enough.
 Tt was rather nice of Mrs. Ferrall to ask me-" he said, after the mess made of things last spring" - Grace Ferrall is dear" she re- piled.
