Woman Lawyer and Old Gentleman.
A woman lawyer, who is young and’
good-looking, was riding downtown in
a broadway car the other day, says the
New York Sun. An old gentleman who
sat on the other side of the car at the
upper end gazed at her for several
blocks with undisguised admiration. '
She looked up from the legal paper she |
was reading, and he smiled broadly at
her. Every time she raised her eyes |
she saw that he was becoming more and
more demonstrative. As she was ac- |
customed to taking care of herself |
downtown, she did not think of asking |
for the protection of a male lawyer who |
was also in the car. The woman arose |
to get out, Before the car stopped she
was aware that her unknown admirer |
was behind her. She walked into the |
big office building. As she pressed the |
button for the elevator the ancient per
stepped up to her and said:
“Haven't I met you before?”

THE NATURAL WORLD.
Dr. Talmage Says God Regulates the Ant
Hill as Well as the Human
Habitation.
The Most of Solomon's Writ.ngs Have Gone
Out of Existence.
{Copyright 1901.1
Wasminaron, D. C.—In this discourse
Dr. Talmage draws his illustrations from a
realm seldom utilized for moral and relig-
lous purposes; text, Proverbs vi, 6-8: “Go
to the ant, thou sluggard. Consider her
ways and be wise, which, having no guide,
oversee or ruler, provideth her meat in
the summer and gathereth her food in the
harvest.”
The most of Solomon's writings have
perished. They have gone out of exist-
ence as thoroughly aa the twenty books of
Pliny and most of the tooks of Aeschylus
and Euripides and Varro and Quintilian.
Solomon's Song and Ecclesiastes and
Proverbs, preserved by inspiration, are a
small part of his voluminous productions.
He was a great scientist. One verse in the
Bible suggests that he was a botanist, a
zoologist, an ornithlologist, an ichthyolo-
gist and knew all about reptilia. I Kings
iv, 38, “He spake of trees, from the cedar
tree that is in Lebanon even unto the
hyseop that springeth out of the wall: he
spake also of beasts and of fowl and of
creeping things and of fishes.” Besides all
these scientific works he composed 3000
proverbs and 1005 songs
Although Solomon lived long before the
microscope was constructed he was also
an insectologist, and watched and de-
scribes the spider build its suspension
bridge of silk from tree to tree, calling it
the spider's web, and he notices its skilful
foothold in climbing the smooth wall of
the throneroom in Jerusalem, saving,
“The spider taketh hold with her hands
and is in kings’ palaces.” But he is espe
cially interested in the ant, and recom
mends its habits as worthy of study and
imitation, saying, “Go to the ant, thom
sluggard, consider her wavs and be wise,
which, having no guide, overseer or ruler.
provideth her meat in the summer and
gathereth her food in the harvest.”
But it Was not until about 300 vears ago,
when Jan Swammerdam, the son of an
apothecary at Amsterdam, Holland, began
ene study of the ant under powerful lens,
that the full force of Solomon's injunction
was understood. The great Dutch scien-
tist in his examination of the insect in my
text discovered as great display of the
wisdom of God in its anatomy as astrono
mers discover in the heavens, and was so
absorbed and wrought upon by the won-
ders he discovered in the ant and other
insects that body and mind gave way, and
he expired at forty-three years of age, a
martyr of the great science of insectology.
No one but God could have fashioned
the insect spoken of in the text or given
it such genius of instinct—its wisdom for
harvesting at the right time, its wonders
of antennae, by which it gathers food, and
of mandibles, which, instead of the mo
ion of the human jaw up and down in
mastication, move from side to mde; ita
nervous system, its enlarging doors in hot
weather for more sweep of breeze, ita
mode of attack and defense, closing the
gate at night against bandit invaders; its
purification of the earth for human resi
dence, its social life, its republican gov-
ernment with the consent of the gov
erned, its natural fidelities, the habit of
these creatures of gathering now and then
under the dome of the ant hillock seem
ingly in consultation and then departing
to execute their different missions
But Solomon would not commend all the
habits of the ant, for some of them are as
bad as some of the habits of the human
race. Rome of these small creatures are
desperadoes and murderers. Now and
then they marshal themselves into hosts
and march in straight line and come upon
an encampment of their own race and de
stroy its occupants, except the young,
whom they carry into captivity, and if the
army come back without any such eap
tives they are not permitted to enter, but
are sent forth to make more successful con
