A writer in the Cosmopolitan, treating
of the habits of ants, says:
In spite of the multifarious duties and
tasks that are imposed on these tiny
burghers, they still find time to clean and
adorn their worthy little persons. No
spot, no atom of dust or anything else un
cleanly will they tolerate on their bodies.
They get rid of the dirt with the brushy
tufts on their feet or with their tongue.
They act, for.all the world, like domestic
•ats when they clean and liek themselves-
and they assist one another at the toilet
precisely like monkeys. Their sense of
cleanliness goes so far that the naturalist
eften finds, to his unpleasant surprise, the
oolored marks that he had applied with so
much care on bis “triul ants” removed by
their dirt-hating friends. They keep thpir
dwellings just as cleanly,
But the conveying away of their de
ceased brethren, whoso dead bodies they
appear to regard with the greatest antipa
thy, gives them more trouble than any
thing else. When some members of an
ant community, whi<,di Mr. Cook kept im
prisoned. died and could not be removed,
those remaining scorned affected with the
greatest horror. For days the insects ran
about seeking a way out, and ceased only
when completely exhausted. The ants
belonging to the camponotus species
seized the dead and threw them into a
water pail, which they converted
INTO A SEPULCHER.
Ordinarily, though, the ants are said to
treat their dead with more reverence.
They even possess their own grave-yards,
well sewed.
Gray watered silk is combined with
mack cashmere and black eamel’s-hair in
gowns tor elderly ladies.
Under-pet icouts of silk in dark and
light colors, white and black, are made
"’fill gathered pink flounces.
Hair ornaments are combinations of rib
bon loops thickly mascad and surmounted
by herons’ aigrettes.
Sashos of woolen material, correspond
ing to the dress with which they are
fring’ #rB trlln ' ned with embroidery or
Rough cainel’s-hair fabrics,plain,striped,
plumed and cross-barred, are among the
favorite dress goods for tailor-made
frocks.
The most elegant Parisian women refuse
to wear very prominent bustles, but, for
all that, there is a threatened revival of
crinoline.
Waists are long, but postilions and point
ed fronts are short, but acutely peaked,
while the corsage is cut very short over
the hip lino, I
Bright yellow in small quantities hid

ener of dark violets.
White eider-down jackets will be worn
ns driving wraps over light dresses the au
tumn through. These jackets are becom
ing, stylish, and extremely comfortable on
a cool day.
The new fall wrappings challenge ad
miration, and the styles are of the most
varied and mixed description, showing an
indescribable blending of visite, corsage,
jacket, mantle and pereline.

They convey their deceased companions
thither, where they lay them down into
orderly little heaps or in rows.
It is only the corpses of their fellows,
however, that they treat in this manner.
Dead strangers they throw out like some
thing unclean, or tear the body in pieces.
Even between the masters and slaves of
the same community, Miss Treat says site
has observed a dissimilar mode of burial.
While the matters find their last repose
in a special graveyard, side by side, the
slaves lie like heaped-up refuse near the
nest, despised equally in death as in life.

their strength. And finally the smallest
members of the community bring up
grains of sand and fragments of earth to
complete the barricade. The doors are
closed behind them until dawn the next
day, and then the exit occurs in reverse
order. The small ones are the first and
the large ones the last of the column.
But ants are not nn rely acquainted with

Just ns kids in the wantonness of youthful
spirits challenge one Another to mimic

feet the combative individual urges on its

ply rapidly both bond and jaws. Then 1
■they let go, turn round, and take hold
again, like hoys wrestling. After having |

strength, they
SEPARATE PEACEFULLY.
When they fight in earnest the result of |
the duel is quite 'different. As with the j
heroes of antiquity, the single combats i
take place under the eyes of the opposing i
armies. Otherwise and .especially when
faraway from the nest, the hostile ants
avoid each other, or the weaker surrender
at discretion. In the face of the embattled
armies, however, where they find support,
the adversaries rush upon each other fu
riously. The antennas are thrown back
and the jaws widely opened. Amid biting
and stabbing the desperate scuffle goes on
Then there is a pushing against one an
other, a shoving backward and forward, a
hurling to the ground and a rolling over
one another until at last one of the com-
battants succumbs, or the duel remains
undecided, ending with the complete ex
haustion of the antagonists. The secre

Thy tencer heart I might regain
And my lout peace restore;
You would forget i he scorn you felt—
So penitent I’d be,
You would forgive while low I knelt,
If I might only see
Thy bright eyes smile on me;
Only a little while,
