BULL ANTS OF AFRICA.
Elephants, Lions and Even Man Him
self Flee From Them In Terror.


self Flee From Them In Terror.
In the vast equatorial forests of
Africa the most dreaded Of animals Is
the great bull ant Unlike other ants,
1t carries nothing away: everything Is
eaten on the spot. Every kind of beast
and reptile-elephants. lions, gorillas,
snakes and man himself-fees before
this terrible insect
These ants march through the for
ests In long thin column. two inches
wide and miles In length. II they come
to an open space where there are no
trees to shelter them from the sun
they burrow underground and form
tunnels. through which they march on.
1t often takes as long as twelve hours
for one of these armies to pass.
Any creature overtaken is at once
attacked with irresistible fury and in
stantly devoured. The strongest and
the weakest, the most fierce and the
most timid of creatures are alike
their prey.
Natives overtaken by them seek ref
uge In the nearest river or pond Yet
even when the ants themselves are
drowned their strong pincers refuse
to relax their hold upon any flesh they
may have attached themselves to. and.
though their bodies are torn forcibly
away, their heads remain.
Certain barbarous tribes, when a
man is condemned for witchcraft,
fasten him to tree and leave him to
the ants. When they have passed a
skeleton alone is left to tell the tale.--

not satisfy me for long. So the thought
suddenly entered my head to have my

FRIED POTATOES.
Sold on the Streets From Pushcarts In
Parts Of France.

The street vending of pOmmes frites.
or French fried potatoes. Is peculiar
to the northern part Of France. Pom
mes frites tuke the place of peanuts
and popcorn and are sold In much the
same fashion. Not only is this trade
carried on in some Instances as II regu-
larly established business. but work
men wishing to increase their earnings
come out on tie streets In the evening
and sell these fried potntoes from
pushcarts. Their profits often exceed
their days wages.

Pommes frites have the advantage
that they supply satisfying and nu

especially appreciated by the mill EN-
ployees during the noon hour. as they
are thus enabled to have something
hot with their otherwise cold lunches

Most women who indulge freely in
the use of cheap perfumes do not
know of what they are compounded.
The principal Ingredient OF low priced
perfumes Is musk. animal musk. which
is obtained from several creatures.
The muskrat Is probably the best
known of these. and few decades
ago the wives and sweethearts of men
who set traps around bitches aud
ponds in the countryside carried proud
ly the bags of musk obtained from this
source. AS an article of commerce the
musk supplied by several varieties Of
civet cats Is probably the hest known
today. The odor Is strong and sweet.

WYNKEN. Blynken and Nod one night
w Sailed off in a wooden shoe
Sailed on river of crystal light
Into a sea of dew
"Where are you going, and what do you

I'VE have come to fish for the herring
fish
That live In this beautiful sea.
Nets of silver and gold have we.''
Said Wynken,
Blynken
And Nod.
THE old moon laughed and sang a song
L AS they rocked in the wooden shoe,
And the wind that sped them all night
long
Ruffied the waves of dew.
The little stars were the herring fish
That lived In the beautiful sea.
"Now cast your net wherever you wish
Never afraid are we!'
So cried the stars to the fishermen three.
Wynken,

A LII night long their nets they threw

Then down from the skies came the wood

said to him absentmindedly. Then
she realized she had made a mistake
In voicing her thoughts. Il appreciate

assure you that the portrait of your

honor in that home.

ly, 81 shall tell you where we are
bound for. We're going out to my
grandfather's. You'll like him i'm
mensely. He is such dear. Let me
tell you something about him.
Until four years ago grandfather
has lived in South America ever since
the civil war"
"Was he in the army?" Mr.. Prentice
asked, with quick interest.
Yes" replied Adelaide Gillespie
"and when he was captured by the
Confederates a friend of his arranged
his escape and got him away on a
ship that took him to South America
He engaged in business there and be-
came immensely rich. He married an
English girl, and their daughter was
my mother. Mother died twelve years
ago, when was only ten.
Grandfather came back to this
country few years after the war and
learned that his father and all of his
people were dead, Then he returned
to South America and remained there
until four years ago"
$50 he was in the Union army?" ask
ed the old man.

81 shall be delighted to meet him."
Indeed you WILL" said Miss Giles

mise, than you now imagine. Oh, II 1t

old mani"

Eyes, permanently. He has beau
tiful country estate up at Tuxedo.
Well soon be there l know he'll be
glad to see you, as you also are SOL
dier," she added naively.
Presently they turned into the
grounds of a magnificent estate. There
were miles and miles of beautiful
roadways: there were dense. shady
woods and game preserves; there were
gardens and acres of flowers. Then
there appeared through the opening in
the trees a broad stretch of velvety
lawn. with just enough of great elms
and oaks set here and there to afford
pleasant shade for the gray stone ram
bling mansion that nestled among
them. There were more flowers close
to the house and bright awnings at the
windows.
Mr.. Prentice thought he had never
seen anything so wonderful in the way
of private estate. The house was
much larger even than the Old Peo-
ple's home and decidedly more attrac-
tive.
"This is grandfather's home" an
nounced Adelaide Gillespie as the au-
tomobile stopped under the porte-co-
chere, "and here's grandfather!' She
sprang from the automobile.
She was visibly excited as she clasp
ed her arms around her grandfather's
neck and kissed him.
Her grandfather scarcely responded
to her caress. He gently and dreamily
put her aside and stepped forward to
meet the stranger. Mr. Prentice, who
stood as if transiiXed to the mosaic
floor of the yeranda. Strangely enough
Mr.. Prentice was the first to speak.
He took a step forward, stretched out
his arms and cried:

Don't sit supinely yearning

Don't spurn to be rushlight

But brighten some bit of darkness

OLD FAVORITES.
WHERE IGNORANCE is BLISS.

Lo, in the vale of years beneath
A grisly troop are seen
The painful family of Death,
More hideous than their queen.
This racks the joints. this fires the
veins,
That every laboring sinew strains.
These in the deeper yitals rage.
Lo, poverty to fill the band,
That numbs the soul with icy hand.
And slow consuming age!
To each his sufferings. All are men.
Condemned alike to groan,
The tender for another's pain,
The unfeeling for his own.
Yet, ah, why should they know
their fate,
Since sorrow never comes too late :,
And happiness too swiftly flies?
Thought would destroy their para
disc
No more. Where ignorance is bliss
'Tis folly to be wise.

EASTERN NIGHT.

The world lies silent under the stars.
No echo comes from the hushed ba-
Zaars.
Only wind stirs faint and free
Through the velvet palms by a
moon washed sea.
The world lies silent under the stars.
Golden Venus and rose flushed
Mars,
And the little waves shiver and
tremble and beat
Like a tiny pulse on the sands at
my feet.
Then through the night the sound
of flute.
Sweeter than viol or harp or lutte,
Murmurs its secrets to the stars
Out of the hush of the dim bazaars.
