CIVILIZATION AMONG INSECTS
Sir John Lubbock, in his book on the
"Origin and Metamorphoses of Insects, !"
states that if certain beetles and other in.
sects found in the nests of ants are used by
them for any purpose, the ants must have
more domestic animals than we do. It is
well-known fact that the ants collect in
their nests certain species of aphis or
wood-louse, from which they draw honey,
keeping them, in fact, just as we do cows,
There is also species of red ant which
does no work of itself, but makes slaves Of
the black kind. Certain remarkable spe.
cies Of beetles are rarely, il ever, found
excepting in ants nests; they are
blind, and apparently helpless, Civ.
ing no secretion Of any use to the
ants, yet they are tended with much care.
| Although these beetles are never found ex-
cept in ants nests, yet there are many
communities which do not possess them.
| II, however, one Of them should be placed
in o community where it does not belong,
| it is Immediately killed and eaten, while
the ants from the same nests are kindly re,
ceived. M. Lespes, who first observed
these facts, concludes that some ants are
more highly civilized than others. Sir
John Lubbock hints that the ants may
possibly have some feeling of reverence fol
the beetles. If they had only been cent?
pedes, how easy 1t would have been fol

IT has become or is becoming fashionable
to economize. This is all very well for those
who really have occasion to curtail their
expenditures. In many cases it would
doubtless have been well had the fashion
come into vogue before the panic. But
those persons who can maintain their anti
panic generosity of living are under unus-
ual obligation--it obligations as to such
matter there can ever be--not to reduce
their expenditures. 1t is no time for
those who can be liberal in their
living to become mean and stinted.
Ontlays in the course of living and of
business and prompt payments Of current
debts do much more good now than in
ordinary times, and there is no better way
of dispensing charity than in providing en-
ployment for the needy. Let the reduc-
tons that are supposed to be necessary in
ones living begin in other Injuries than
the discharge Of servants, sewing women,
nurses and others who humbly ply their
skill to obtain daily support. Instead of
discharging, let there be made room for
more il wages to pay them are at hand
and the comfort of the household can be
thereby increased Cincinnati CONNER

THE New York World lectures the Dem
ocrats of the country for subscribing to and
reading Republican newspapers. Demo-
Gratis, like other intelligent people, value
newspapers for the amount of news and gen.
eral information they can obtain from their
columns, and care very little about their poll
tics. When Democratic editors learn that
political essays and the violent denuncia-
ton of all who happen to hold different
sentiments are the least attractive portions
of their papers, they will probably be able
to circulate more extensively.
