Marriage While You Wait.

From the Dundee Advertiser.
Marriage at matrimonial agencies is on
the decline in Australia. Five thousand
three hundred and fifty-two marriages
were celebrated In Sydney last year, and
of these only ninety-seven took place al
agencies as against 1872 in the previous
year There was remarkable increase
Of 4O3 at the meeting place of a body
known as the "Whitefield Congregational
lists" These agencies openly advertise In
the Sydney and Melbourne papers their
readiness to provide Protestant minister
of any denomination at any time to per-
form the marriage ceremony. They also
keep rings witnesses and all other essen
tails on the premises. These agencies
have been repeatedly denounced by the
judges in the divorce courts. For free
and easy marriage and divorce facilities
Australia is not far behind Dakota.

Ants as Weather Prophets.
From the Chicago Tribune.

Ants as weather prophets afford new
testimony to the cleverness Of these small
animals. When you go out on a spring
morning and find the ants busily engaged
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 IL is there will be no rain that day.
and the proba bilities are for several days
of good weather.
IL. however. you see the ants about the
middle OF a spring or summer afternoon
hurrying back to the nest and a sentinel
trotting out In every direction looking up
stragglers and urging them to go homo
as soon as they can get there. you may
figure on q rain that afternoon or night.
When the last OF the wanderers Is found

curely sealed from the inside to keep out
the water. 1t is seldom that ants are
