Instinct of the Ant.

OF stories about the instinct Of the
ant there are a great number, but the
following, told by Professor Levallois,
is n of the best: "One day I follow
ed an ant for a long time. She was
far from the ant hill and seemed to
have no intention Of soon returning.
In the middle Of the path she came
upon the dead body of a good sized
snail. She first walked all around 1t
and then climbed upon the ugly erea-
lures back, crawled all over 1T, and
after this thorough examination, In
stead Of advancing, as before, tmme-
diately returned toward the nest,
When halfway there she met one of
her companions. In an instant they
had touched or rubbed antennae with
great animation, and she was pursu-
ing her course. The same perform
ance took place when the ant met q
second and third of her companions,
and as soon as she had left them they
quickly turned toward the spot where
the snail lay. The first ant soon en-
tered the nest, and I lost sight of her.
But she doubtless continued her work
of informing the rest, for a long Vine
of ants Immediately came out and set
forth for the prey. Ten minutes after
ward the snail was entirely covered
with the yellow swarm, and by even
ing not q trace of it remained.

FIsherman-A- Cams.


There Is a game which is especially
Jolly for playing around the table after
supper some evening or indoors any
rainy afternoon called fisherman. A
cane or long stick must be found and
to one end a cord tied. Form the op-
posite end of the cord into a very wide
loop. Spread out the loop end Of the
cord fat In the middle of the table,
around which players stand or sit, and
ask each boy or girl to rest his fore
finger on the table inside Of the circle
which the cord forms. Some one act
ing as fisherman holds the rod. Two
commands are given by this player,
When he says "Your fshl" each play
er must poise his forefnger as describ-
ed, but when he says "My fshw all
must remove their fingers with the
greatest celebrity, for as he utters this
last command the fisherman Jerks up
his rod with q quick tug, forming q
moose, In which any unwary finger
will surely be imprisoned. Any fish
taken counts a point for the fisher
man, who Is allowed to continue until
he fails to catch a fish In his moose,
when some II else takes q turn at
the rod. The player catching most
fish In his round wins the game, while
the person who Is oftenest caught
must pay q forfeit.

"PIayinq Possum."

"Playing possum" has become a COM
mon saying. This has originated from
what is popularity believed to be its
habit of pretending to be dead. In this
so called feigning the breathing Is slow
and feeble, and the movement is almost
concealed by the thick fur. But here l
think that popular opinion is wrong.
Space Is too limited for details, but In
stead of feigning death the animal
seems to swoon with terror, 1t Is In

~fenseless q creature should deliberate

The Evening Chit-Chat

Dottie's nose peeled that terribly hot
day and how Roger has learned to
swim, with unconsciously touching
pride and never seem to think of say
ing. And here I am digging away all
day in that hot Office and coming home
at night to an empty house"
Yes. of course, l know what you
are going to say-you wives of the
summer widowers. You are going to
say mat you wouldn't think of leav-
ing him if it were not for the chill
dren. but you don't feel that it's right
to keep them in the hot city all sum-
mer.
That's what you all say.
And I agree with you on that last.
But suppose you took the children
away for month. II he has two
weeks vacation that he could spend
with you that would only leave him
alone two weeks.
Or suppose you took them to some
place near enough so that he could
run down week ends and perhaps two
or three times a week.
Do you think they would suffer un-
der those conditions?
No. of course, don't understand
your individual case. Doubtless you
have very good reasons.
Anyway l didn't write this to quar-
rel with you.
1 just wanted to register my thor
ough sympathy with and admiration
for the man at home-the man who
finds his relief from the city heat in
pictures of the kids padding in the
water and his relief from the DAYS
monotony in bulletins about Dottie's
nose and Rogers swimming and vet
never thinks of setting himself UP as
a martyr.

There is a certain species OF human
being which appears in large num-
beers just about now for which I have
very deep sympathy.
1t is the summer widower.
OF course, one hears a good deal of
fun made of the summer widower in
newspapers and summer theaters. In
these he is represented as blithely
singing. MY wife's gone to the coun-
try hurrah hurrah." or some similar
ditty, and preparing to have the time
of his life. But / have an idea that
this kind of summer widower -four
ishes mainly in the papers and in
vaudeville.
Ninety per cent of the real-life varie-
ty of summer widower isdecidedly
more to be pitied than blamed"
And more to be admired than either.
For my part I'm sure 1 never ad-
mire man more than when / meet
him taking lonely stroll of sum-
mer evening or smoking a pipe on his
vacant piazza and am told with evil
dent pride in answer to my query for
his better half. that she has gone of
for the summer with the kids
1 think men are rather less given
to self pity than women, and this is
certainly one of the occasions that
would seem TO prove that, for never
met a summer widower yet who COM

MOUTH WASH AND POWDER
These Should Be Selected for lndivid-
uai Conditions-Howt the Gums
Should Be Massaeed.

The teeth decay in those places that
are not kept clean. To keep the teeth
clean various mouth washes, tooth
pastes, powders and brushes have
been devised.
Many of these agents have some
beneficial effects, while others do no
good, and possibly harm. But we
must concede the fact that I'D to the
present time these agents are as ef-
fective as any we know to keep the
mouth comparatively clean and to
prevent accumulations in and around,
and especially between the teeth.
While 1t is a recognized fact that
the indiscriminate use of powders and
mouth washes ia not the best for the
teeth and gums, still the use OF tooth
brushes. together with suitable pow
ders and washes is of great impor-
lance. But the kind of medicinal
agent that each individual should use
should be left to some one who is
competent to instruct the patient. As
to the particular means of applying
this agent advice should also be given
as the teeth and gums in individuals
differ practically as much as their hair
and eyes.
The wash Will pass between the
teeth. or at least it should pass be
tween most Of the teeth. and in this
| way take out the greatest portion oil

| may collect there. This collection diff

The different kinds of gum dis

not adapted to that diseased condition

where it normally belongs. Before W,
attempt gum massage we should SEE
that the teeth are as clean as possibl.
