The Spinnino Ant.

The spinning ant is found in In
dia, in Ceylon, in the islands of Ma
lacca and in Australia. This ant
weaves its nest between two leaves
of tree, preferably the mango. 1t
begins to build or to weave by
drawing two leaves together. To do
this it runs line of its working
material-material similar to the
spiders thread-the length of the
leaf and around it. While at work
it clings to the leaf with its nails
and at the same time draws on the
leaf nearest to it with its mandibles.
Sometimes the two leaves suitable
for nest building are too far apart.
Then the builder calls in its fellow
ants, and they help it to form a
chain. Each ant clings to the waist
of its neighbor by its mandibles.
Thus enchanted, they work to build
the nest of their comrade.-Har-
per's Weekly.

Farmers! Mix Your Own fertilizers

Doyou know that home-mixing of fertil-
izers has proved to be the most econemi-
cal and satisfactory method of procuring
fertilizers? 1t is now generally conceded
by up-todate agriculturalists that bet
ter results are obtained by buying the
crude materials and mixing -fertilizers
especially adapted to the different crops
you raise and the varying conditions of
the soil found on the farm.
fyou will send us your name on pos
tai with arequest therefor, we will send
you free, postpaid, a number of formulas
which w ere made up for us by the Direc-
tor of the Vermont Experiment Station
and which have been used by many YER
mont farmers with excellent success. We
will also give full directions for mixing
fertilizers adapted to all crops commonly
raised on Vermont farms. When writ
ing please mention this paper. Address

ARTS OF THE ANCIENTS.
Many Of Our Modern Discoveries Are
Only RediscoVeries,

History is not the only thing that
repeats itself. Discovery does the
same. We are not nearly so much
ahead Of the ancicnts as it pleases
us to believe. Many Of our discov-
cries are only rediscoverles-lm-
proved upon perhaps, but not alter
ed in nature.
In 1862 France was already IN
possession of omnibuses. The Ro-
mans sank artesian wells even in
the Sahara. In 1855 Papin pub

lay in the preparation of the
ground.
The Greeks had wooden or linen
cuirass so closely woven as to be
impenetrable by the sharpest darts.
We have not found out the secret
of it. The Romans had better mills
than ours for pounding olives. The
Chinese had invented iron houses
as early as 1900. Glass houses were
found among the Picts in Scotland
and the Celts in Gaul and many
centuries earlier in Siam. Grass
cloth was used many centuries ago
by the Chinese.
Massage was an ancient practice
and was known to the Romans.
Paracelsus speaks of homeopathy
and says that like is cured by like
and not contrary by contrary. The
speculum, the probe, the forceps,
were known in the year 500. In
deed, specimens thereof hove been
found in the ruins of Pompeii.
Aristotle noticed that sea water
could be made drinkable by boiling
it and collecting the steam.
The Romans appear to have been
familiar with the lightning rod. On
top Of the highest tower of the Cas-
tie of DuniO, on the Adriatjc, there |
was set from time immemorial a
long rod of iron. In the stormy |
weather of summer it served to pre-
dict the approach of tempest. A
soldier was always stationed by it
when the sea showed theatenings OF
storm. From time to time he put |
the point of his long javelin close
to the rod. Whenever a spark pass
ed between the two pieces of iron
he rang bell to warn the fisher
men. Gerbert in the tenth century
invented a plan for diverting light
ming from fields by placing in them
long sticks tipped with sharp lance
heads.-Chicago Record-Herald.

A GALLANT 'BRICAND.
The Tact OF a Woman Saved Her From
Being Robbed.

I
Being Robbed.
The saying that there is honor
among thieves suggests the thought
that if the virtue began little fur
thcr back it might prevent any
practice Of the profession. How
ever, brigandage being an establish
ed fact, one may permit himself to
admire the gallantry displayed by
the bandit whose exploit is describ-
ed by Andrew f. Crosse in his book
around About the Carpathians."
A certain lady, the widow of a
wealthy man of title, inhabited a
lonely castle not far from the route
between Byda and Vienna. One
morning she received polite note
requesting her to provide that night
at 10 o'clock supper for twelve
gentlemen.
She knew at once the character
of her self invited guests and devils
ed a novel mode of defense. She
dared not send for aid, for she
knew every road between the castle
and any town would be watched to
prevent communication, so she
made her own plans.
At 10 that evening up rode an
armed band Of twelve. The great
gate of the outer court was thrown
open as if for an honored guest,
The lady herself, richly dressed,
stood at the entrance to receive.
She at once selected the chief, babe
him welcome and gave ordersS that
the horses should be well cared for
Then, taking the arm of the chief,
she led the way to the dining room,
A goodly feast was spread on the
table, and the sideboards were GOV
cred with a magnificent display of
gold and silver plate.
The leader of the robber band
started back in surprise; but, recov-
ering his presence Of mind, he calm
!y seated himself by his hostess.
When the meal was nearly finish |
ed the chief took out his watch.
Madam" he said, "the happiest
moments of my life have always
been the shortest. ! have another
engagement tonight which | must
keep, but before | go allow me to
tell you that in appealing to my
honor as you have tonight you have
saved me from the commission Of
crime. Bad as | am, no one ever
appealed to my honor in vain As
for my men, | charge them to take |
nothing from this house. He who
disobeys dies that instant"
The brigand then asked for pa |
per and pen and wrote few SEN
fences in strange characters.
eff you or your retainers ever
lose anything" he added to his
hostess, "post this publicly in the
nearest town, and | pledge my word
the missing article shall be return
ed"
The band departed. A few weeks
later the chief was captured and
hanged: He proved to be the i'm
poverished younger son of a noble
family of Hungary.

DESERVES SUCCESS.

In presenting "The Heir of the Hoorah" last night at the Grand op- era house in Conway we must say the large audience present received even more than their moneys worth. Never before and for long time to come we predict-will a company visiting our little city give such universal sat is faction as did the Fulton Stock Company to the appreciative audience which greeted them last night. When the curtain rose there was scarcely a vacant seat in the house, and well it was, for had this excellent company not been received with a good house there would have been many regrets today. "The Heir of the Hoorah,
 the title of the plot, is laid in the far western mining country where the six shooter and the broncho reigns su- preme, and the execution of each and every character in the play IS fal above the average stock company now playing before the footlights of the country. To attempt to single out and try to give any special one of the company favorable mention would be ] too great task, for every part from the nurse girl to the leading characters-were handled without . pebble, and all in all, was one of the best shows ever seen in Conway.

 "Oh of course,' the young man an swered q get all the news. I get a letter from Kansas City every day"
 The woman began to laugh.
 "So when you go back home for that vacation you're going to be married?' she mused
 How did you know that?" the man cried We both said we wouldn't tell and now she's"
 You told me yourself a few seconds ago, everything but the date,' she an swered You see, no matter how fond your brother may be of you, or your uncles or aunts or your mother or father, none of these would send you letter every day. There's only one person who writes a letter every day and that's a girl who's engaged to be married. For the rest of my sentence added two and two"

Ornamental Buttons.

The arrival of the button beauti- ful" (we stir our poetic feelings in our headlines) is, after all, only a re- turn to former fashions, for the first buttons were entirely ornamental, and left the fastening of the clothes to the simpler brooches or strings. Buttons,
 g we know them, first came in in the days of Edward l., but they continued comparative rarities until Elizabeth's s reign. First made of wood and bone, they were later of gold and silver, and in the eighteenth century some Bir- mingham steel buttons sold for as much as 140 guineas a gross. Even buttons have not been exempt from legislation, for an act of George l. pro- hibited the manufacture of cloth-cov- cred buttons, in order to encourage the metal industry.
