THE INDUSTRIOUS ANT.

He Is Only Eqneled by the Industrious Her. Sir John Lubbock, who has started a dog school in London, says ants stand next to man in point of intelligence, and I reckon they do. For instance: I have lived nearly all my life in the South, where the ants tackle everything. Beds, tables, cupboards—in fact, every article you wanted to keep ants out of had to be stood in water —that is, in peach cans cut off and filled. But evten this wouldn’t do; the ants would find some floating matter on the surface, and bridge the moat with their bodies, and so get over. Then we tried tar-water, and suspended sugar in pails from the ceiling. For a while this nonplused them; but attracted by the smell, they gathered on the safe under it, and after a while we found them coming down the rope. They had gone up the ceiling, and so on down. A friend of mine in the African fruit trade told me that one night, when up a river, near the Congo country, he was awakened by a yell, and tumbling out of his hammock, found himself standing a foot deep in solid ants. He ran for his life, covered with them, and finally got beyond their line of march and stayed in a tree all night. The next mornmg, when he returned, the whole house had been cleaned out. A dog that was tied to a tree was represented by a lot of clean-picked bones. It was the raider ant, and when they come there is no way to do but to surround the place with fire. Animals run from them. “This sounds like a yarn,” said the ant authority, “but the story told by Jaeger, the naturalist, is a bigger one. He states that a Catholic missionary was sick in Congo, when one of the armies came along, and it was by sheer luck that the natives got him Up. As they carried him out of the house, the floor was over a foot deep with the insects, and of a cow that in the stable the bones alone told the story next morning. “The most remarkable thing about ants is the method with which they work. The different families are divided off into different kinds of workers—soldiers who do the fighting, workers that do the manurl labor, and kings and queens who do nothing. When the great Sauba ants start out on an expedition, if it is hot weather, you see the laborers ahead forming a covered tunnel through which the entire body passes. Now, if you break this in, out rush, not the laborers, but the bigheaded, big-jawed soldiers, who dart about to find the intruder, and if noth-, ing is to be seen they go in and inform the laborers, who~ then appear and repair damages. When they come to streams they climb the trees on the bank, form themselves into chains, and swing gradually over until the end ant catches bold of a tree on the other side. On this bridge pass over the rest.

“In Brazil the workers of certain ants form burrows under ground acres in extent, and those called the leaf cutters do incalculable damage. They climb the lemon and other trees in vast numbers, and by a scissors-like motion of the jaws, cut out a piece of oval leaf and start off, holding it erect over their heads like a parasol. These they carry to their underground and use them as thatching or wall paper, and for another purpose still more singular. Upon the leaves, as soon as they are put in place, grows a delicate fungus, which is used as food for the young ants. So, you see, the -insects may actually be said to be agriculturists. The Texas agricultural ants go to work in a more methodical manner. They :make a nest beneath the ground, and raised several inches above it, and clear away a space on either side of several feet, from which branch through the grass several roads. Curiously enough this grass about the nest is all of one kind. All the other weeds are cleared away. Some people say the ants actually plant the grass seed However, they do gather it and feed it to the young, and store the grain houses under ground. Here you see another evidence of intelligence. The seeds stowed away would naturally sprout after a rain, but in some cases, ■wjhen they become damp, the ants take them to the surface and dry them in the sun; in other cases, they poison the seed by biting it, so that it does not sprout. “Some years ago, a discussion was raised in Brazil over the work of ants, a naturalist claiming that he could show a place where they had tunneled under a river. Such a statement would hardly be believed true, but it was proved, and marked ants passed into the tunnel on one side and were observed to come out on the other, a quarter of a mile distant. More than this smoke was forced through the tunnel.— Interview. in the New York Sun.

Patriarchs.

In those good old times of long ago the patriarchs were more honored and respected than in these degenerate days. They were learned and distinguished characters then, but we make fowl use of the patriarchs of today. # The more familiar ones of this age u’sually appear on Thanksgiving Day, when “the dear little rooster that grandmama used to play with” has reached the age of maturity, and is sacrificed accordingly. Many a fond father has gazed with dismay at the well-roasted ancient, and then, with a determination to win at all hazards, bravely enters the arena, and struggles for the victory. At the first thrust the blade usually glides from the brown skin as a skate over ice. The wings have evidently been nailed on; the legs—well, from long attachment to their owner, actually refuse to think of ever leaving him. But there is a limit to all things, and the next vigorous lunge sends the knife directly through the bird ,hnd the dish beneath also.By this time he is thorougly aroused, and the attack begins in earnest. A desperate attempt, and the wing and a piece of breast land directly in his wife’s lap, while a leg hits the baby in the ear. But this is only one instance in many. Numberless men boarding at a hotel have been aroused from their slumbers in the early morning by furious hammering, only to find it was the attempt of two men and the cook to halve a spring chicken, with a mallet and a

wedge, itt the back yard, and next day sees the identical halves served up to two strangers sitting at one table. Mere curiosity tempts him to watch. Neither man is chicken-hearted, and' they do their best again and again, and try to gain just one morsel: but, finally, in grim despair, and in appreciation of each other’s misery, they silently shake hands under the table, for fear their triumphant adversary would see them and crow over their defeat, and go out, arm in arm, to take something.—Detroit Free Press.

An Interesting Lion Story.

The memory of the lion was preserved in its ancient haunts long after it had become extinct. The scene of one of the prettiest stories told by /Elian is laid in Mount Pangseum, which, from its mention by Xenophon, must have been a famous haunt of lions: i Endemus tells the tale that in Pangseum, in Thrace, a bear attacked the lair of a lion, while it was unguarded, and killed the cubs that were too small and too weak to defend themselves. And when the father and mother came home from hunting somewhere, and saw their children lying dead, they were much aggrieved, and attacked the bear; but she was airaid, and climbed up into a tree as fast as she could, and settled herself down, trying to avoid the attack. Now, when they saw that they could not avenge themselves on her, the lioness did not cease to watch the tree, but sar down in ambush at the foot, eying the bear that was covered with blood. But the lion, as it were, without purpose and distraught With grief, after the manner of a man, rushed off to the mountains, and chanced to light upon a woodcutter, who, in terror, let fall his ax, but the lion fawned upon him, and reaching up saluted him as well as he could, and licked his face with his tongue. And the man took courage. Then the bon encircled him with his tail, and led him, and did not suffer him to leave his ax behind, but pointed with his foot for it to be taken up. And when the man did not understand lie took it up in his mouth and reached it to him. Then he followed while the lion led him to his den. And when the lioness saw him she came and made signs, looking at the pitiable spectacle, and then up at the bear. Then the man perceived and understood that the lion had suffered cruel wrong from the bear, and cut down the tree with might and main. And the tree fell, and the lions tore the bear in pieces; but the man the lion led back again, safe and sound, to the place where he lighted on him, and returned him to the very tree he had been cutting.—lF. Boyd Hawkins, in Popular Science.

All But.

A Wolf met a nice, tender Goat in a quiet, retired spot on the Mountain,_ one Day, in the soft Summer time, and immediately -picked up his Knife and Fork and began looking over the Bill of Fare. “What would you do?” asked the Goat, with much trepidation. “I would discover what sort of a Layout this Caravansary can spread,” replied the Wolf. “Are there no Fire Escapes?” inquired the Goat. “I do not Know, nor do I care, as I Expect to take but one Meal here.” “But—but ” stammered the Goat. “Aw, don’t but me,” answered the Wolf, snappishly, and the next moment the Goat had hit him amidships and knocked him over a Precipice 200 Feet HighMoral—There should be a law against carrying concealed deadly weapons.— The Drummer.

Letting $SOO Drop.

A solemn-looking citizen appeared at Police Headquarters, and, beckoning the chief into a private room, said,: “You know that SBOO robbery at my house that I reported yesterday morning?” “Certainly, and I have put two of our best men on the case, and ” “Well, I—ahem —I have decided not to pursue the matter. You needn’t take any further steps. In fact ” “You don’t mean to say that you have recovered the money?” “Oh! no—not at all.” “Fdund a clew, eh ?” “Well, n-0-0, not exactly. The fact is the money was taken out of my trousers’ pockets at night, and—and—this morning my wife had sent home a new sealskin sack. ” “Ah!” “And so, you see, I have about concluded to let the matter drop—let the matter drop,” and with a deep sigh the bereaved husband drifted out, — San Francisco Post.

Oysters on the Oregon Coast.

The great demand for Puget Sound oysters for the past feyyears has drawn heavily on the beds near Olympia, which are rapidly becoming depleted, and unless something is done in the way of coring for and propagating oysters in that section but a few more year? will be required to the supply, and the famous Olympic oyster will be a thing of the past.

A Cruel Blew.

Twas the Sabbath. Just within the hall of the stately mansion stood a young couple. At a glance one could see that they were not married, yet the love-light that beamed in their eyes as they stood, she with both of her daintily gloved hands in his, showed that they were to each other more than mere friends. They had attended church that bright spring morning and as Harold Glenn sat by the side of Ethel Warde, or held with her her dainty hymn-book as her pure young voice rose to heaven in anthems of praise, his heart swelled with pride, for he knew that in less than one short month that beauteous being would be all his own, his to love and cherish. Yes, for two years they had been betrothed, and in all that time not one difference had arisen—not one harsh word had been uttered. “Good-by, Harold,” said shet, as she rested her head on his bosom and lifted the pouting red bps for a kiss, *|*good-by till this afternoon.” “Good-by, Ethel, good-by till] this—till to-night.” “Till to-night, Harold ? Till to-night did you say ?” “Ay, Ethel, good-by till to-night.” As the words fell on her ears a slight shudder shook the frail form, and she stepped back a pace and gazed straight into his eyes with a look in which anguish, love, and indignation all seemed to struggle for mastery. A moment she gazed and then she seemed to give way and burst into tears. Harold looked uneasily out of the window and plucked nervously at his watch guard, but one could see by the determined look on his face that his will could not easily be bent. For a moment the silence was unbroken. Then the girl spoke. “Harold, for two years we have been betrothed. In that time never have you spent a Sabbath afternoon away from me. In the chill winter we have sat and weaved debghtful fancies as we gazed into the glowing grate, and in the spring we have wandered, mid the flow-, ers, and told our love. Ay, for two years this has continued, Harold, and now you tell me you are not coming today. Have I done aught to offend you ?” “No Ethel,” muttered Harold in a husky voice. “In all this time, have I ever failed to show you by every means a woman can, that you possess my best and purest love ?” “No, Ethel, you have been everything that I could wish.” “Then, why this sudden change? Why do you thus take out of my life one of its brightest, happiest hours? Why will you not come?” “Ethel, I cannot; oh, I cannot come to-day. Forgive me. Do not think me cold, but I cannot. ” The love seemed to leave the girl’s face, and in its stead came a look of despair. 7 “Harold, your reason for this change ?” “Ethel, I cannot come. I—I,” and Harold bent his eyes to the floor and paused. “Well, you what? Go on, sir.” “I’m going to the ball game at the gark this afternoon. Fred Blend is poing to pitch.”— Evansville Argus.

The First Health-Drinking.

“Healths” in honor of mortals came to us from abroad. The first given in Britain was proposed by a lady. It was the “Health of the King,” and mischief came of it. The lady was Rowena, the daughter of Hengist. That Saxon ally of the British King, Vortigern, entertained at a banquet the monarch whom he first intended to make his son-in-law and then destroy. After dinner the ladies were admitted, a custom which has not yet died out on occasions of public festivity, and Rowena was at the head of them. She carried aloft a capacious goblet of wine, and, approaching the and delighted King, she said, with a courteous reverence : “ Lord King, I drink your health.” This was said in Saxon, and Vortigern shook his head to imply that he had not been taught Saxon, and was sorry for it. He looked inquiringly at his interpreter, and that official translated the lady’s words. But this rendered Vortigern little the wiser, as Rowena stood silently gazing at him. cup in hand, and he found himself in utterly new circumstances and in dreadful want of a master of cereihonies. ~“7 “What ought I to do ?” he asked the interpreter, and the latter replied: “As the lady has offered to drink your health, saying, ‘Wacht heil?’ you should bid her quaff the wine, saying, ‘ Drinc heil!’ ” And Vortigern shaped his British mouth to the utterance.

A Collegiate Education.

Young Man (departing for college)— “Well, father, good-by! You may expect to hear from me often; and I trust that on my return you will find that I have not been unmindful of your selfsacrificing efforts to provide me with an education. Good-by!” Father (with emotion) —“Good-by, my son.” Young Man (three months later, arriving from college) ‘“ Ah, Governor, how de do? Delighted to see you, bah Jove! Beastly weathaw this, don’t you know? How’s the folks? Doosed glahd to get home!” etc., etc. The old gentleman thinks of bringing suit against the col! ege. — New York Sun. ■. .

Nellie—And what did he say ? Mamma —He shocked me awfully by insisting that you kept him from going. Nellie —Oh, tne great big story teller ! I tried my best to tire him out so that he would go home. Mamma—Tried to tire him out! Why. How ? Nellie—By sitting on his lap.—Philadelphia Call.

THE STAGE-DRIVER’S STORY.

How General Scott's Life Was Saved and How His Driver Twice Escaped Death. The traveler of the present day, as he Is hurried along by the lightning express, in its buffet cars and palace sleepers, teldom reverts in thought to the time when the stage coach and packet were the only means of communication between distant points. It is rare that one of the real old-time ftagedrivers is met with now-a-days, and when the writer recently rap across Fayette Haskell, of Lockport, N. Y." he felt like a bibliographer over the discovery of some rare volume of “forgotten lore.” Mr. Haskel), al thou,-h one of the pioneers in stage driving (he formerly ran from I ewiston to Niagara Falls.and Buffalo, is hale and hearty, and bidsiw'rto live for many years. The strange stories of h's early adventures would nil a volume, one time when going down a mMntaiu near Lewiston with no le s a personage than General Scott as a passenger, the brakes gave way and the coach came on the heels of the wheel horses. The only remedy was to whip the leaders to a gallop. Gaining additional momentum with each revolution of the wheels, the coach swayed and pitched down the mountain side and into the streets of Lewiston. Straight ahead at the foot of the steep hill Bowed the Niagara River, towards which the four horses dashed, apparently to certain death. Yet the Arm hand never relaxed its hold, nor the clear brain its conception of what must be done in the emergency. On dashed the horses until the narrow dock was reached on the river bank, when by a mtsterly exhibition of nerve and daring, the coach was turned in scarce its own length, and the horses brought to a standstill before the pale lookers on could realize what had occurred. A purse was raised by General Scott and presented to Mr. Haskell with high compliments for his skill and bravery. Notwithstanding all his strength and his robust constitution, the strain of continuous work and exposure proved too much for Mr. Haskell’s constitution. The constant jolting of the coach and the necessarily cramped position in which he was obliged to sit contributed to this end, and at times he was obliged to abandon driving altogether. Speaking of this period he said: “I found it almost impossible to sleep at night; rny appetite left me entirely, and I had a tired feeling which I never knew before and could not account for. 1 ’ “Did you give -up driving entirely?" “No. I tried to keep up, but it was only with the greatest effort. This state of things continued for nearly twenty years until last October, when I went all to pieces.” “In what way?” “Oh, 1 doubled all up; could not walk without a cane, and was incapable of any effort or exertion. I had a constant desire to urinate both day and night, and, although I felt like passing a gallon every ten minutes, only a few drops could escape and they thick with sediment. Finally it ceased to Bow entirely, and I thought death was very near.” •■What did you do then?” “What I should have done long before: listen to my wife. Under her advice I began a new treatment.” “And with what result?” “Wonderful. It unstopped the closed passages, and, what was still more wonderful. regulated the flow. The sediment vanished, my appetite returne 1, and I am now welt, and good for twenty more years, wholly through the aid of Warner’s Safe Cure. that, has done wonders for me as well as for so many others.” Mr. Haskell’s experience is repeated every day in the lives of thousands of American men and women. An unknown evil is undermining the existence of an innumerable number, who do not rt alize the danger they are in until healtn has entirely departed, and death, perhaps, stares them in the face. To neglect such important matters is like drifting in the current of Niagara above the Falls.

Queer Signs.

The signs over store-doors might seem, at first thought, to be rather dry reading. But one cannot pay much attention to them, especially in a large city, without finding many that are amusing and even ludicrous.

Every one has seen the flaring pictures of “fat women,” “living skeletons,” and “midgets,” that usually adorn the outside of cheap shows. But an exhibitor in a New England city outdid his rivals by announcing that he had on exhibition a living human head without a body. Probably in this case- the head was set on a table, which the simple-minded were expected to believe had no hole in its top. In another part of the same city is a boot-blacking stand where hangs a placard with this inscription: “You Ought to be Ashamed to Walk the Soil Of Masachusetts with Such Dirty Boots. Let the Professor Black Them for 5 Cents’” Among other curious signs, are the following: Over a dye-house, “We live to dye, and dye to liveover the door of a pie-shop, “Pro Bono Publico;” at a news-stand in the suburbs, “ Century, Harper’s, Atlantic, Sunday Afternoon, Old and New, Our Young Folks,” the last three being the names of periodicals dead and buried long ago, but nevertheless “constantly on hand.” On one of the thoroughfares a colored man has recently opened a barbershop, and announces the fact to the world in the following notice, hung in the window: “Mr. ’s new stand, and having secured also the services of the well--known artist Mr. , we hope that the undesigned” (probably intended for undersigned) “will give satisfaction to’ all his friends, as they have done henceforth, and I respectfully invite all to call on me where we may be found at all hours. Yours truly, etc.” —Youth’s Companion.

Philadelphia girls smoke cigarettes, and the boys find treating less expensive than when the fair one’s lips were set to trap strawberries and ice-cream. “Youb voiceless lips, O, flowers! are living preachers. Each cup a pulpit and each leaf a book, Stmplying to my fancy numerous teachers. From loneliest nook." —Anonymous.

DR. JOHN BULL’S SniWoDicSM FOR THECURE OF FEVER and AGUE Or CHILLS and FEVER, , AND ALL MALARIAL DISEASES The proprietor of this celebrated medicine justly claims for it s superiority over all remedies ever offered to the public for the SAFE, CERTAIN, SPEEDY and PERMANENT cure of Ague and Fever, or Chille and Fever, whether of short or long standing. He refers to the entire Western and Southern country to bear him testimony to the truth of the assertion that in no case whatever will it fail to cure if the directions are strictly followed and carried out. In a great many oases a single dose has been sufficient for a cure, and whole families have been cured by a single bottle, with a perfect restoration of the general health. It is, however, prudent, and in every case more certain to cure, if its use is continued in smaller doses for a week or two after the disease has been checked, more especially in difficult and long-standing cases. Usually this medicine will not require any aid to keep the bowels in good order. Should the patient, however, require a cathartic medicine, after having taken three or four doses of the Tonic, a single dose of BULL'S VEGETABLE FAMILY PILLS will be sufficient. BULL’S SARSAPARILLA is the old and reliable remedy for impurities of the blood and Scrofulous affections—the King of Blood Purifiers. DR. JOHN BULL’S VEGETABLE WORM DESTROYER is prepared in the form ofeandy drops, attractive to the sight and pleasant to the taste. TJFt.
