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 fair to take the place of or share the favor with vivid red, so long popular os a bright,- 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.

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.

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 tiic earnest side of life; they are suscepti ble to its joys and amusements as well. Just ns kids in the wantonness of youthful spirits challenge one Another to mimic combat in the meadow, so do these else so industrious emmets. With feelers and feet the combative individual urges on its companions until they accept the chal lenge. Standing on their hind feet, they! grasp each other with the front ones and j ply rapidly both bond and jaws. Then 1 ■they let go, turn round, and take hold again, like hoys wrestling. After having | satisfactorily tested their respective '• 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.
