The Lively Children.
“When you come in tonight,” said
the literary man to his two sprightly
children, who were accustomed, when
they came in from their evening walk,
to walk straight into the library where
he was at work and sit down and talk
awhile, ‘‘l wish you would just say,
‘How d’ye do?’ and then go out. I have
a lot of work to do tonight, and I don’t
want to be disturbed.”
An hour later the literary man heard
a latchkey placed carefully in the front
door, as though the person placing it
thete didn’t wish to be heard. Then he
heard smothered laughter in the halt
It was from the children. They were up
to something, sure. A moment later
they came marching through the hall,
one behind the other, with military
step, back toward the library. They
turned in, marched like a file of .soldiers
alongside the library table on the side
opposite the literary man, halted, front
ed, raised their hands in salute and said
in unison:
“How d’ye do?”
Then they faced to the left and
marched out again, one behind the oth
er, keeping step as before and keeping
as sober as they could, until they came
to the parlor. There they exploded.

Ants With Umbrellas.
The doings of ants are among the
most interesting things that naturalists
find to study. No members of the insect
world present more startling suggestions
of intelligence and forethought govern
ing their actions. It is not correct, how
ever, to explain the habits and conduct
of ants by human analogies. For in
stance, it was once supposed that the so
called “parasol ants,” living in hot,
tropical countries, carried little leaves
above their heads for the sake of protec
tion from the sun. Later investigations
have shown that the ants actually do
carry leaves, suspended by 'the stem
which they hold in their jaws, and that
columns of them thus furnished with
leaves like an army with banners march
in regular order, but that the leaves, in
stead of being intended to shelter the
ants from the sunshine, are deposited
by them around their nests to form a
soil in which grows a kind of fungus
that they are fond of. So the parasol
ant is not a dandy, but a faimer.—

Relle* From Costa Rica.
The consulate of Costa Rica in Phila
delphia has in its charge a unique col
lection of Costa Rican archseologioal
material of great scientific value from
Santa Cruz. Jit is composed of over
8,000 stone objects and of over 400 cer
amics, of which 50 per cent is broken.
There is also included a number of gold
idols, jewels, ornaments and grinding
stones. The Costa Rican archaeology is
the link connecting the ancient speci
mens firmed in the other stated of Cen
tra) America and the discoveries made
in South America and presents well de
fined traces of two distinct civilizations,
one descending north by the Pacific
coast and the other immigrating from
the opposite direction on tbe Atlantic
side, spreading ont toward the interior
cf the central plateau, where it comes
in contact with the other. The first is
typified by the ancient choYotega.

Fol’eupine Doesn’t Throw His Quill*.
The spiuea are very loosely attached
to the porcupine, and they are very
sharp—as sharp os a needle at the outer
end. At almost the slightest touch they
penetrate the nose of a dog or the cloth
ing or flesh of a person touching the
porcupine and stick there, coming away
from the animal without any pull being
required. The facility in catching hold
with one end and letting go with the
other has sometimes caused people to
think that the spines had been thrown
at them. The outer end of the spines,
for some distance down, is covered with
small barbs. These barbs cause a spine
once imbedded in a living animal to
keep working farther in with every
movement of the muscles, so that it is
not a pleasant thing to get stuck full of
them.—Portland Oregonian,
