cash. In the pages,of Through Saw

contrast with the impatience Of Amer

STRANGE Fishinu Matches.

In the olden time in England lords

to the goose, tied to it's leg. she was

Tho Soldier Ant.

The lion is the king Of beasts. but
all of bis, magnificent strength and
ferocity would avail him nothing when
he faced mere ant. But this ant is
not the usual kind which peacefully
goes about its domestic duties day by
day. 1t is the terrible driver or soldier
ant. said to be the most invincible
creature in the world. Against these
tiny enemies no man or band of men,
no lion or tiger. not even a herd of
elephants, can do anything but bur
riediy get out of the way. Among the
BarOtse natives favorite form Of cap
ital punishment is to coat the victim
with grease and throw him before the
advancing army of soldier ants. The
Quickness with which the poor wretch
Is dispatc he'd is marvellous when it is
considered that each ant can do moth

The Epieurssn BADGER.

The badger is a great epicure In
eggs. and much OF the hostility Of
gamekeepers to this animal lies I'M
doubtedly In the fact that 1t will. when
it gets the chance. devour a whole
nest Of partridge or pheasant eggs.
Badgers are said also to be fond Of
honey. and. knowing the extraordinary
craving Of their South African cousin,
the ratel. for this delicacy, should
say it Is not improbable that they may
occasionally partake Oft. 1t is certain
that these animals have particular
liking for the nest and larvae of
wasps and wild bees. digging down
with strong feet and infinite persever-
ance till they attain their object
These animals are said by keepers to
kill and devour freely young rabbits
That they do partake Of this fare at
times is. think. certain. but that they
destroy any very considerable number
Is more than doubtful. Still. the badg-
er is carnivorous in his tastes and is
not, even by his kindliest friends. to
be absolved from devouring at times

game birds when he can get hold Of

His Game Won,

In campaign In Kansas some years
ago. when the tariff was made q DON'T
nant issue. an old German was run
ming for county Office in central Kan
sas. He didn't know enough about the
tariff to talk about 1t two minutes.
More than that, he didn't care much,
for it had nothing whatever to do with
the office he wanted anyway. But the
voters were much excited over the
question and seemed to think that
every candidate should be able to dis,
cuss the problem from A to lizard.
So this German and his campaign
manager invented successful subter-
fuge. When the German got up at the
meetings to talk he would say: Now.
shentlemen. / viii talk NIT you about
der tariff. 1t is,liksss 81.
Just then his campaign manager
would interrupt: why. John. You
have only five minutes to talk. You
cannot do yourself justice in that
length of time on the tariff" ....
'.Then ] won't talk about dot tariff"
would be Johns inevitable reply. and
he would go on to tell that he wanted
4 certain county Office, and 80 on. His
game won. and he was elected. 81 Kan

Eating For tho Love Of It.

Pawlow has given epicurea nism in
eating strong scientific support, and
many Of Horace Fletcher's ideas find
orthodox justification. The first rule Of
dietetic conduct. according to Fletcher.
is to eat only when one is hungry and
to eat only the things from which one
anticipates enjoyment. He also teaches
that one must eat in the way that
gives the greatest sensual pleasure
that is, by thorough chewing and tast-
ing; also serenity Of mind. pleasant
surroundings at meal. congenial
friends. pleasurable conversatio n-in
fact. everything that adds to enjoyment
aids digestion. In other words. the
process Of digestion furnishes beauti-
full illustration of the influence of mind
upon matter. The inspiring stimulus
Is not mechanical. but psychic. The
preliminary essential to the orderly as
similation of food is the keen desire
for it.-McClure's Magazine. y
