Man In Twenty-Four Hours.

The skin of a full-grown man ex-
hales in "a hours, in ordinary circum-
stances, from one and a half to two
pounds of water in insensible perspi-
ration. When, in hot weather, or in
undergoing violent exertion, the per-
spiration becomes sensible, and instead
of exhaling in gentle moisture is
thrown off in large drops of water, a
much greater weight is disposed of in
this way.
The action of this exhalation takes
place through glands. 1t does not seem
so strange that the human body can
throw off nearly two pints of water
daily, so gradually and so gently that
it is not felt as moisture, when we re-
member how many glands there are
and how very small each atom of
moisture must De. On the back, the
thighs and legs there are about 500

ing anything except men and horses.
In South Africa and other tropical
counties, however, they are used to kill
ants-the termites, or warrior ants.
These ants are highly organized. They
live in a republic of their own, and
are divided into classes of workmen,
soldiers and queens.
The workmen construct the huge
nests, the soldiers defend them and
keep order, and the females, or queens,
are cared for by all the others.
The ant heaps of these particular
ants are often twenty feet high and
pyramidal in shape Cattle climb up-
on them without crushing them. A
dozen men can find shelter in some of
their chambers, and native hunters
often lie in wait inside them when out

The ants construct galleries which
are as wide as the bore of a large
cannon, and which run three or four
feet underground. If we built houses

the details of his mission. He was

and busy financier, on her way home

was nonplused. All his family were
away from the city at watering place.
The home mansion was closed. He
himself was staying at his club. Mr..
Wharton was relieved when his niece
informed him that she must resume
her journey homewards the following

placed her in charge of the matron,

ROUTINE DAY AT FORT MYER
Strenuous Duties That Are Demanded
of Soldiers From Revelle
to Retreat.

A soldiers day is from the first NOTE
of reveille to the last note of retreat
In the gray light of daybreak the bugle
calls him from sleep. From that mo-
ment until retreat sounds at sunset
the day is one of strict routine and
disciplines Mrs. George F. Richards
writes in the National Magazine.
A rough outline of routine day at
Fort Myer is: Rise, roll call, break
fast. groom horses, fall in for drill,
which lasts several hours or until time
for the monday dinner. For the after
noon there are various designated du-
ties for officers and men, which may
include attendance at lectures or DEM
onstration work, board meetings,
courts-martial, training for extra
drills, attendance at military funerals
and other services, either obligatory
or voluntary. At sunset again comes
roll call, followed by one of the most
impressive ceremonies of the day.
The troops assemble, facing the COL
ors; the band plays the "Star-Spangled
Banner" as the colors are slowly low
cred, every man standing at attention
till they reach the ground. The sun
set gun booms across the field; the
bugle sounds retreat, and the garrison

If Eph Knight had come back rich
man it is probable that Lausanne would
have seen its first lynching. But Eph
came back a tired, wornout man of
forty-three, stone-poor; and before
again he had taken mechanics job in
the auto factory which is all that Keeps
Lausannes population up to the five
thousand mark
His disappearance had not been SO
sensational as his return. He was liv-
ing at the hotel and flinging money
around. Everybody knew Eph; he had
been born on a farm and had flown
kites and made flying machines in the
days when Langley was a national jest
however, at last A company-the
Knight company-had been formed to
exploit the new flying machine which
the Wrights were soon to consign to
the scrap heap. All Lausanne had gone
crazy over his dream. The Widow
Gill, whose daughter, Polly. Eph had
been counting, invested twelve hun
dred dollars in the concern. Then the

How kind, how very kind" she
murmured, dignified, proud and filled
with glowing anticipations. You see,
she added artlessly, Il have never
been in large city before"
She looked it, and very unlike the
richly CARRIED Misses Wharton, her
cousins, for everything about her pro-
claimed the country girl, but, oh! how
exquisite the wild rose face! the child
ishly innocent eyes! the natural grace
that made Rolfe Durward feel that he
had fallen upon an adventure that
reused him magically out of the dreary
routine of life of ennui.
She sat beside him in the seat, a
vivid flash of delight, for the next two
hours, as he took a spin through the
splendid park system of the city. Then
there was a rejection, dainty, charm
ing to the inexperienced young girl.
Her pure delight charmed and stimu-
lated her fascinated escort.
IF there is any one place more
than another you would like to visit"
he suggested the theater? yes, and
there is baseball game"
"Oh, no." she interrupted quickly
the Art institute" and, once among
the pictures and statuary, Miss Eunice
Ralston began to unfold.
Role was amazed at discovering the
germ of great artistic genius in this
crude country girl. She forgot that
they were strangers, as she surveyed
the beautiful canvases and discussed
them, betraying soulful appreciation
of these that amazed her companion.
There was one picture, little gem
that held her rapt interest for fully an
hour. She went back to it half
dozen times. She had tried to paint
like that, but, ali! how presumptuous!
how daring!
ROlfe Durward carried through his
part, respectfully, attentively and-en-
joyably. They had become so friendly
that his heart experienced quick re-
greet when they parted at the railroad
depot. After that it seemed as if, like
some dusty, parched flower, his soul
had reveled for the nonce in sweet, in
MIGRATING dew!
Then Rolfe Durward did an act char.
acteristic of him. 1t cost four hundred
dollars to purchase the picture Eunice
had so admired at the Art institute.
He sent it to her without an explana-
ton.
1T will cheer her humble life," he
cheated his longing heart into saying.
Il like to do good. l wish could for
get her!"
One day, week later, young Ray
mOnd came around to him. He brought
a letter signed by Eunice Ralston. In
it she told him she had suspected he
had sent the picture. She could not
accept so costly a gift. He must take
it back.
I'm in a fix, you see, through your
impersonating me. What are you 60
ing to do about it?" queried Raymond.
"Oh, I'll go down and see this sweet
little lady and fix it up with her." re-
piled Rolfe.
He did, and he confessed all. A new
companionship only seemed to tighten
the cords Of mutual attraction, and
when Rolfe left Eunice she had not
only consented to accept the picture,
but Rolfe himself

ably more than thirty. Nobody expect
ed Polly to marry, although she had
had suitors before knight put in his
appearance. But nobody dreamed that
knight was still the knight of her
heart, and that she repeated his words
to herself every evening:
"1'll be true to you, Polly, however
long I'm gone. And I'll come for you
some day, never doubt me, dear"
Then knight had come back, to
board at the Widow Gills, instead of
at the hotel. At first the people of
Lausanne evidenced sullen antipathy.
Some still held Knights rotten scrip;
q few had unloaded theirs upon credu-
lous neighbors. But the Widow Gill
had forgiven him.

There was no doubt of it. They

day, when Epn's dreams came true.
But Eph wouldn't hear of his wife
working, and twelve dollars cut no
