HAILKILS CLUB. “' In untiuuocin' dt- death of Brudder Sundown White. “Lien IIILIIK place lus' wot-k," said Brother (hrdncr. as he arose at the last meeting of the Limo- kiln Club, “ I wi~h to suite dat he was no hero. Hz: was not known by sight or name to filly people in all dis world Probably do greatest thing he ebor did in all his lile was to slop a. runaway mewl. Nobody heard of him in con- neckshun wid Congris. de Legislachur. de Common Council or any older public oflis. He nebbcr published a book. wrote a song nor delibered a lecktur. I doubt if he eber took laughin' gas, rode on a ’lectric Street kyar or had a chimny on his house burn out. He was jist a plain, eberyday sort. of man, an' strangers passed him by widout a sec- ond look. A few of us in dis club, but only a few, knowed him fur what he wasâ€"a man of In 83 sense. “ Brudder White didn't know nulfin‘ "bout. dc pyramids of Egypt, but he was de pusson who diskibered dat salt would make cabbagcs head up a week airlier den usual. “ He nebber read fo’ lines of poetry in all his bo'u days, an' yit in one brief y'ar he found three plugs of terbacker, two jack-knives an’ a 85 hill on de elde- walk. _ “ He nebber saw Niagara Falls nor heard dc roarin’ of do son, an’ yit de white man who loaded twenty different sticks of wood Will powder an' left. 'em 00 his pile couldn’t blow Brudder White up. He got his supply from de bottom of do woodpile. “ Dat man had nebber toeken a book on philosophy in his hand, an' yit. he reasoned it out dat do man who paid cash down for his goods got no cheaper prices due de deadbeat. “ Brudder White didn't know de meanin' of do word ‘ persuasive,’ an' yit. when I found him fillin' a bag wid my cowcumbers one dark night, he made me believe (let be reckoned he was in a white man’s tater patch two miles away. “ It has bin said dat he was neithera luvin’ husband nor an affeckshunate fadder. But was a matter of philosophy wid him. He reasoned it out dat de mo’ yo' luv yo’r wife de mo’ new bon- net's she wants, an’ de 010’ afl'eckshunate yo' am to yo'r chill'en do faster deir shoes w’ar out. ’Pears to me he was perfeckly k'rect in dat. Should I go home tonight an’ kiss my ole woman an’ ax her how her lame back got ’long, she'd jist stand up an’ want a new pa’r of yaller shoes an’ blue stockin’s to matgh. “ On many occashuns de late lamentâ€" ed was axed to decide disputes ’bout Jonah an' de whale an’ Dan’l in de lion's den. He nebber cum to no de- oishun. He knowed dat if he decided dat de whale swallered Jonah he'd sar- tinly lose one friend, an’ if he said dnt Dan'l wasn‘t skeered when he found hisself among de lions, den somebody would steal his whitewash pail an’ brushes to git ebeu. When do dispute get red hot, Brudder White would try an' turn dc subjiek to dreams an'Aghosts au' cool eberybody down. “ While he didn’t say much, he ob- served an' reasoned. If, in walkin' around, he cum across a sign of ‘ No ad- mittance.’ he walked right in an’ asked dc reason why an’ all ’bout it. But saved him from wine home an' wonderin’ if 8 it was a powder factory or do city hall. When he cum to a. railrode an’ de sign of ‘ Look out for de ingine.’ he rea- soned dat de sign was put up wid an objiek in view. He'd wait around dar an' look out if it took him all day. “ Brudder White didn't pay as much pew rent as some. but he paid it ebery day an' in advance. Ebery mawnin' of his lile fur y'ars past he walked ober to de cabin of do church treasurer an’ laid down his nickel. an' H day her any finanshul panic in dat odder land dc hardupness can't be laid to him. He was. as I mav any right heah. do only purson dnt I eber keen-ed in all dis world who was willin' to advance dc Lewd 35 cents a week an' ntbber ask fur a rcct‘ipL “ He couldn't hev told yo' nufiin’ ’houi Shakespeare, but if yo' lent him yo'r \rlieeibarrer it allus cum home all right an' widout anv fish scales or c‘-ieken fodder-s stickin‘ to do handles.

The ants were heaped upon one another in great numbers, appearing to enjoy the temperature of the suriuce of the. nest. None of them were at work, and the immense multitude of insects presented the appearance of a liquid in u szatt- of ebulliilun. upon which the eye could scarcer be fixed without great diiiieulty. but when I examined the conduct of each out I saw that they were (\ppl‘OItcll- ing each other. each moving his anten- nm with astonishing rapidity. each pat.- ting the cheek of one of his fellows. After these preliminaries, which very observed to raise themselves upright on their hind legs by pairs. Struggle to» gether, min each other by mandible. foot or antennae, and then immediately relax their hold, only to renew the attack again in a moment. “ They would fasten to each other's shoulders, embrace, and wrestle. overâ€" throw each other, then raise themselves by turns, each taking revenge without producing any serious mischief. They did not spurt out their venom as they do in their real combats, nor retain their hold upon their opponents with such. obstinucy. I have seen some so eager in these exercises that they would pursue and vanquish several in succes- sion. only struggling with each a few seconds. " In one place two ants appeared to be gatnboling about a stalk of straw, turning alternately to avoid or seize each other, which forcibly brought to my recollection the sport and pastime of young dogs, when they are observed to rise on their hind legs. attempting to bite, overthrow or seize each other, without once closing their teeth." Mr. Huber tells oi other queer habits of ants. such as their running of races, carrying each other on their banks, etc., characteristics which certainly prove that. they are endowed with a very high degree of intelligenceâ€"~tho York Sun. 0â€".0 How Hindoos Use Their Toes. “ Strangers in India,” said Professor E P. Worthington. of Boston, to a St. Louis Globe-Democrat reporter, " are curious ability possessed by the llindoos to use their feet aad toes in various in- dustrial occupations. In the native quarters of the towns it is no one )IDlDOIl sight to see a butcher seize a piece of meat in his hands, and cut it in twu with a stroke oI his knife held between the first and second toes of his foot. The shoemaker uses no last, but turns his hands are busy in shaping it. The carpenter also holds the board he is cutting with his great too, and the wood-turner uses his tools as well with his toes as with his hands. The use of the feet. to assist the hands in their labor is not the result of practice, but, as investigators have proved, is princi- pally due to the fact that the I'Iindoc foot is quite different from ours in its anatomical conformation. ’l'hc ankle of the Hindoo and the articulation at the back of the foot permit considerable lateral motion. Then the toes passes- a surprising mobility and can be moved freely in all directimis. The articula- tion of the Iin is also peculiar, and this rendersit possible to use the toes in handling objects by enabling the Hin- dnn to sit. in a squatting pesitiwn much in re comfortany then We can do." -0-â€"â€"-â€"â€"_-.
