Germany's silver.

The facts about Germanys stock Of
silver were brought out before the finan-
cial committee of the Reichstag. At
the end of March 9rO,O00000 marks in
silver and 81 ,0O0O0O marks (23.S cents
i'll gold, Of the old coinage had been
withdrawn total of LOCI 100000.
The mint has turned out 1879, 100000
marks gold, and 434 100000 marks Of
sivcr-a total Of 1905. 100000 Ii has
sold 450,o00,000 marks Of old silver,
and has still to dispose Of 400,000,000
marks more, that amount being sup
posed TO be still in circulation The
loss on the silver sold amounted to O.
100000 marks, which was partly offset
by the profit Of 43,0O0oDO0 on the frac-
tional coin. The present condition of
the silver market leads to the belief
that there will be as heavy loss on the
4OO,OOO,000 marks remaining to be sold
as OH the larger sum already thrown on

Big red ants are making themselves
numerous hercahouts. They carry in
their bodies more cussedncSs to the
square inch than the tiger Of hejunglc
and are Just that coneeited with their
own prowess that they will confidently,
attack anything that walks or talks.
They are not afraid of Il man, and fdis-
turbed will show fight every time. They
hrc not enemies to be deSpised, either
MS II person may know who is bitten by
one of them, their bite being poisonous
and painful, This morning, II China
man found hill Of those ants on sixth
street, and proceeded to poke among
the insects with his finger, probably with
view of investigating their character
ishcs i'll the interests of science He
knows all abou tired ants now. One Of
the insects fastened on TO his finger,
and the way that Chinaman howled
would have exploded a double-barrcled
monograph. We don't understand the
Chinese language, but Judging from the
manner in which this Chinaman gave
expression TO his feelings on the sub
iect Of red ants, lie probably exhausted
all the explosives invented by the late
lamented Mr.. Confucius, and perhaps
added a few ofhis own invention.
