Man-the Driver.

No man will ever admit that any
woman can drive better than he can.
Even the woman who dances on the
back Of horse at the circus doesn't
know as much about horses as he
does. The only reason he can't dance
on the back OF horse is that he can't
dance: II isn't the back of the horse
that cuts any figure. The man who
drives with a woman, and lets the
woman drive. should have one OF these
two signs tackled to him II he wants to
keep the respect Of other men: Il am
in love-" or II have rheumatism In my
hugers."--Atchison Globe.

OF houses to attract the ants in num-
bers jars forty feet apart will prob
ably be recommended by him, exchang-
ing jars containing only syrup for jars
containing arsenic or other poison yet
to be decided upon every few days for
several weeks, and, after that length
of time, leaving exposed the poison
jars until the ants have all sought win
ter quarters.
In a territory like East Oakland, if
the recommendations are followed, in
stead of being overrun with the insects,
the number can be kept down to
few per cent.-hardly more than the
native ants. Wherever there are fruit
trees this plan will undoubtedly be
followed, so that the ultimate injury
to the crops will be small and the val.
liable orange crop, which would other
wise be wholly destroyed, will be saved.
The amount of arsenic or other
poison to use has not been fully deter.
mined as yet, but it will be so small
that if a child succeeded in screwing
off the top of the poison jar and suck
ing the sponge it would probably not
be injured.
