To XIII Ants.

From the Chicago Erening Post
A housekeeper kindly sends the follow
ing information: To get rid OF red ants
that infest pantries and places where
food Is kept. buy cents worth OF tar
tar emetic. Take a small quantity
enough TO cover the tip OF a teaspoon
and dissolve Il in a tablespoonful OF
water.
Place in a small dish or an individual
butter plate and stand it where the ants
congregate. This is supposed 70 free the
house of the little pests
To make it more tempting a little sugar
may be added.
II the ants frequent more than one

ton should be set near each.

MASCULINE MODES.

From the New York Mail.
There is little that is new or strik-

which is entirely without the sugges-

pect. judging from the name. All sorts
Of light wood canes are in demand.

really hot weather appropriateness, to

Canes with crook handles and made Of
stained ash viii be frequently seen as
the season advances, as will be the

There is a curiously insistent demand
in the shops these days for folding

Dainty Things from Kerch;efs.

The special things that girls do not
seem able TO keep are handkerchiefs. No
matter how many dozens mothers may
supply there is always a hue and cry for
more, says the Buffalo Times.
1t is all very well when they are com
mon ones for school. but II is an entirely
different matter when It comes to lace
and embroidery, and many a time a girl
slips an elaborate one quietly out OF her
parents drawer 20 make a good impress

Handkerchiefs can easily be made at
very little expense, and though it IS quite
little trouble. II is dainty work that can
be picked Up at odd moments.

sired size. hemstiteh Il on al sides. then

FOR STRAW HATS.

From the Pittsburg Leader
Light straw hats which are the worse
Tor last seasons wear, yet which are
not worth sending TO a professional
cleaner, can be made TO look nice and
white by covering the straw with a
thick paste Of yellow cornmeal and
gasoline mixed. Let the paste stay on
over night or until 1t is dry and brush
OF with a clean stiff whisk If neces-
sary, another coating Of the cornmeaI
can be applied
Chip Panama and leghorn hats can
have soiled spots cleaned from them BY
rubbing the surface with crusts Of bread.
Use small pieces Of bread and discard as
soon as soiled.
For dark colored or black straw hats
the best freshener is a thorough brush
ing and a careful wiping with alcohol
This is much better treatment for a
black hat than attempting 70 give It new

 $ BRIDGEPORT IN ] } THE OLDEN DAYS}

CThe following news items from the issue of the Farmer for April g, 1858 will be of interest to the old timers and some of the more recent arrivals) "On Wednesday March 31, the fur niture belonging to the Merchants Elk change Bank, of this city was sold at public auction-Among the articles were several desks. One of them was purchased by Messrs. G. s. Sanford and J. c. Blackman. On Thursday MT. Sanford was engaged in cleaning out the drawers, he discovered, packed away behind one of them, a roll of bills in sheets, all signed and ready to be cut up and put in circulation. How they came in the place they were found is a mystery to all concerned, it is supposed however, that they slipped over the top of the drawer. As the desk and it's contents were sold to the highest bidder by order of the receiv- CT, the gentlemen who had purchased the property have a right to present the bills and claim the dividend that will be allowed on the issues of the bank"
 Quite an excitement was created Sunday by the discovery of a bloody hat, coat and knife, in vacant lot in a locality called Dublin in East Bridge port. Upon further examination, large quantity of blood was found in the basement of a disreputable house. One of the windows was broken out and blood was traced some distance to- wards the river. Of course nothing short of a, murder was thought of. The Grand Jury was summoned. the police arrested the inmates of the house and at least a thousand persons visited the bloody Scene.' All of the accused of course prot their innocence. About o'clock, however, the murder ed man. was found. It appears that the basement was occupied as a place where the o be joyful is disposed of, and one of the customers imbibed too much of the 'cratur' on Saturday night and was locked up in rear room. Af- ter he had become somewhat Sobered, he endeavored to obtain his release by breaking out a. window-sash and all. In accomplishing this achievement he wounded himself badly, bled profusely and by these means caused consider able of a Stir.''

Tho work will be under the command of Bernard F. Monahan. captain of the team.

 It will be Dorando's only appearance in Connecticut. Because of his inter national fame as a competitor in the great Olympian games in England he will undoubtedly bring a large assem- blaze of prominent people to the Park City rink, where the contest will be run.

Now, while the advoca tes of the old style of voting admit that their scheme is fallible, the advocates of the machines insist their scheme is faultless and that errors are impossible.
 In view of this assumption it follows that the recording by a machine of on- ly a single vote on one side of a ques- ton in a populous ward in Hartford on Tuesday has a peculiar interest. It seems to suggest that even machines are fallible.
