ANTS HAVE FIVE NOSES.
The Sense of Smell Is Very Important
to These insects.


In their antennae, or feelers, ants
have five noses, each of which has its
own duties to perform.
One nose tells the ant whether it is
in its own nest or that Of an enemy;
another nose diScriminateS between
Of different colonies; a third nasal or
Il serves the purpose of discerning
the scent laid down by the ants own
feet, so that it may be able to retrace
the way quite easily; a fourth nose
smells the larvae and pupae, and the
fifth nose detects the presence Of an
enemy.
If an ant be deprived Of a certain
nose, it will live ~peaceably with enc
mics, but If it retains its fifth nose it
will fight the alien to the death. There
is a difference in the functions OF nose
one and nose five, although they APP
pear to be somewhat alike.
This sense of smell does not come
till the ants are three days old. If,
therefore, ants only twelve hours old
are placed among others belonging to
different colonies, they will grow up
quite amicably and not understand
that they are a mixed lot, because
they will have grown up with ideas OF
scent I'm accordance with their sur
roundings. The sense of smell to them
is as important as the sense of sight
to human beings.

placid Hindu Servants.

Hindoo servants are the most i'm
perturable people in the world. You
may throw one downstairs or pat him
on the back. He accepts both with ex-
actly the same expression of counte-
nance. The Indians religion is at the
bottom Of all his acts, all his feelings.
He eats, sleeps, o and has his be-
ing according to religious formula, and
his doctrine of reincarnation forms his
whole philosophy of life. The fact
that you are the master now is due to
the fact that you have been the servant
in some previous r~eincarnation. He
is the servant now, and the only chance
for him to be reborn In the masters
position is to learn all the lessons of
his present incarnation. He takes ev-
erything philosophically. 1t is all a
part of the days work.

He HAD TO HURRY.
On the Dead Rush Because He Had No
Time to Spare.

In Chicago there is a man whom his
friends know as Inahurry Jones. One
morning about 10 o'clock a man with
southern blood in his veins saw Jones,
whose energy be had often admired,
tearing down State street as if propel-
led by the winds OF heaven. Ii came
over the southerner 10 follow Jones
just 10 see where he was going and
how tremendous q matter was depend
ent on his getting there.
Jones rushed into the Palmer House,
rushed up TO the cigar stand, grabbed
a cigar, yelled back, 'Puteronmyac-
count" without stopping TO sort the
words, and dashed out, with the south
erner painting hard behind. After tear
ing down Washington street for half
a block he dived into the Field office
building and just missed being jam
med by the elevator doors in his de-
termination not to lose a car.
The southerner took the next car up
and entered Jones Office timidly, GER
tain that he was about to come upon a
conference Of at least four Of the most
important men in Chicago's financial
world. Inside he found Jones smoking
his cigar behind the morning paper,
his feet on his desk and his swivel
chair tilted back comfortably.-New

Even as Dan rode slowly along the
boundary he saw n horseman in the
distance and recognized him as Forbes.
The latter was approaching the MCKEE
sol ranch at an easy pace and. as
Dan thought, with all the confidence
of Il newly accepted lover who knows
that his sweetheart is waiting for him.
Rather than have his secret discov-

around and dashed toward the north.
He rode fast and furiously, just as
though he was out looking for stray
cattle or on some other urgent bust

When at last he drew rein he was

Then Dan ForSythe was startled by

and dashed away.
Dan rubbed his eyes.
That's Kitty Nickleson's horse he
muttered. 1T must have broken loose.

In a second Dan was flying after
Kitty Nickleson's black horse. Beauty,
