Ant MERCHANTS.

Ant merchants, clad in leather IN

cities Wherever pheasants are pre-
served the ant merchant is In demand.
1t 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 bcees
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.

shakespeare,s WiId Animals.

Shakespeare makes use of no fewer
than twenty species of British wild
animals. OF these the badger, the otter
and the water rat are once each en-
ployed by name merely as terms Of
abuse. The polecat and hedgehog are
also terms of abuse, but are so far
described" as to be called respective
ly sinking and ''thorny" The dor
mouse and ferret are each used once
as adjectives for sleepy" and fierce. y
The shrew gives its name to a play,
but is never mentioned as an animal
The mole is mentioned twice as being
"blind.' the wildcat once as sleeping
by day." the cony as struggling in the
net" and dwelling where she is kim

boarded that years nuts on May day.
The rat and the mouse, being only
the NJ. domesticus, required no cob

above represents the total of Shake
speare's natural history with regard to
all but six Of his British quadrupeds.
The poets only Original references
to the weasel are blunders. The bat is
mentioned three times as an actual an

the swallow, pursuing summer; once
fancifully, as the ''reremouse," out of
whose 'leatbern" wings Titania's elves
made their coats, and once, finely, 'ere
the bat hath flown his clustered

Cav. Her Carte Blanche to Eat.

A woman who has been victim Of
indigestion and IL kept to dyspeptic's
diet most Of the time was invited to
dinner which she was anxious to at
tend.
She went to her telephone, and,
trusting to a somewhat unreliable
memory, she asked to be connected by
the ever obliging Central with tele-
phone 1894 When the connection had
been made she began her plaintive
query without any predatory, lis that

from the other end of the wire.

and they met at the narrowest point,
where T. steep walls of the canyon
shut out lie sunlight, leaving gloomy

rocky wall and tried to shrink his
huge form into smaller compass.
She, Edith Van Tine, looked at him
from the level of grave, gray eyes
questioningly. She bowed politely and
then smiled All women smiled when
they met Hendrix's genial gaze. They
smiled in approval of the warm kind
liness of his good looking face. at the
strength of his great body and at the
good heart shining through his honest
brown eyes.
Miss Van Tines smile faded, how
ever, as she saw the narrow trail that
became almost footpath as 1t wound
up the canyon, and her cheek paled.
In spite of this formidable outlook she
urged her horse forward, bravely de-
termined not to reveal her cowardice

Women always stood on level with
men in ancient Egypt, unlike the Gus

were allowed to rule as queens as early
as the second dynasty. Their palaces
were Of brick adorned with gorgeously
painted walls, rich carpets, rugs of fur,
ivory and ebony chairs and couches.

there was little change in feminine at

to the men. Women contented them
selves with blackening their eyebrows,
letting their hair down and decking
themselves with innumerable rings,
chains and bracelets.

How He Did II.

'sWhen / was connected with GER
:ain 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 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
q 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 a present Of 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 1t to
the horns of the goat. Then he pre-
scented 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. s. and T. Ry.' +"

Harrow Etiquette.

Harrow is not strong In customs,
but even the school on the hill has a
few peculiar to itself.
: One Of the most singular is that
which strikes every visitor-the hug
ging of the wall in the street by small
boys, whether they are in fannels or
out of them, whether they are covered
with mud or Immediately clean and
smart, whether other and older .pedes-
TRANS are elbowed into the gutter or
not.
Never do you see the younger Har-
rovians walking In the road. Why?
Because that is "swagger," crime OF
the first magnitude.
No: custom prescribes that the place
for any boy who is not ''three-yearer"
IS as close to the wall as he can possf-
bly, get.-London Chronicle.
