RED ANTS IN WHITE HOUSE
Mrs. Harrison Showed Visitor Her
Way of Ridding Place of the
Little Pests.
When Mrs. Caroline Harrison
was the first lady of the land , says
the Housekeeper , she gave the
renovation of the white house her
personal supervision ; , and some of
her methods were unique. blrs
Ben Butterworth tells a story of
one of liner ideas , the working of
which she witnessed once upon
making an early morning call.
Finding ! Mrs. McKee in the red
parlor alone she inquirnd for her
mothcr. I
" " Where is manuna ? ' Why , in
thc basement. You will generally
find her in 1 he hmement ; , too , un .
til she is perfectly sure there arne \
no more worlds to conq ucr. . '
" 'Veil , I will look for her , " said
the visitor , and , descending to the
lower corridor , she soon located
her in the kitchen.
, "Come in , " said Mrs. Harrison ,
"that is , if you can cross that
chasm of dirt and creeping thing
of all kinds , " pointing to the floor
where lay , in evidence of her
prowess , myriads of defunct wa
ter-bugs , etc. , that had been
sluughtercd..undel' her direction.
"And now come up into the
dining-room , " she said , after she
had explained certain of her contemplated .
tem pIn ted improvements ; "I want t
to show you something else. "
Going upstairs they entered
t
I
the family dinlng.room , and the
visitor , stunding in front of the
mantel , said : 'Vhat is it ? I do
not see anything new. "
"Turn around , " said the presi-
dent's wife , and , doing so , Mrs.
Butterworth at lust noticed two
good.sized sponges hanging over
the mantel piece
"Well , I see some sponges ;
what are they for ? " But just then
she observed two thick , brown
streaks , about an inch wide ,
reaching from the mantel to the
sponges , and they seemed to be ill
motion. 'VhJ' , what is that ? "
she asked.
"That is two solid armies of red
ants , " said Mrs. Hurrison. "Those
sponges have been saturated with
sweetened water , and the ants are
traveling up to them for a feast ,
and as soon us they have pretty
well covered the sponges , they
will be plunged into hot water ,
ants and all ; then washed and
sweetened again. They have been
changed four times already thin
morning , und as yet there seems
no perceptible diminution of their
number ; but time and patience
work wonders sometimes , and it
is a sure remedy if kept up long
enough. "
TOWN MADE UP OF GRAVES I
Another Village on Lake Huron Where
Inhabitants : Live Only
in Winter.
Away up in the northernmost
part of Northern China is a town
composed entirely of b "rayes . Thc
place is , as a matter of fact , a deserted -
scrted burial ground , and has been
taken possession of by a band of
beggads , thieves and outcasts of
all descriptions , who eat and sleep
in spite of their strange environ-
ment There fire several of these
"towns among thc tombs" in vari-
ous parts of thc Chinese empire ,
but time ' one mentioned is the most
extensive.
Another curious place without
a name is a town on an arm of Lake
Huron. It is made up of 500 wooden .
en buts. During the summer these
houses arc bidden way on shore
and the town contains not a single
inhabitant , but on the arrival of
winter , when thc lake is frozen ,
thc owners of these huts arrive
and proceed to move their huts out
on the ice. The floor of the hut
is taken up and a hole is cut in the
surface of the jce. Through these
boles the residents fish all through
the winter. But when the spring
comes and thc ice melts away this
extraordinary town is once more
broken up and the inhabitants
I move their shanties back to the
woods , while they scatter themselves . I
I selves all over the country. This
the "season" has
place during two
churches and a curing house , not
I to mention several suloons.
