THE SMALL HOUSE ANT.-The English
Clergyman, j. g. Wood, author of many pop
ular books on animals, writes thus Of the
house ant: The variation in size among ants
is as well marked as it is among the higher
animals, and the proportions of the largest
and smallest ant are much the same as those Of
the elephant and the mouse. Some ants, es-
pecially those belonging to the genus compo-
aotus, are as large as hornets. while others
such as the too common house ant, nayrmica
molesta, is only tho fifteenth of an inch 10
length, and so slender that its pale yellow
body is hardly discernible if it be alone. But
livery seldom ia alone. Minute as are its
individual Dimensions, collectively it is so
formidable an insect that it has rendered
houses sunipi,abitable. The houses have had
the floors relaid with cement and porcelain
tiles used wherever possible, but the house
ants have retained possession of the premises.
| have received many letters from persons
whose houses are infested with the ants, and
have been asked to suggest some mode of
destroying them. UNFORTUNATELY, / knew of
none. The passages TO their nests are SO
small that boiling water loses It's heat long
before the few drops which can trickle through
them can touch the nest. Insect powders are
equally useless, and sulphur smoke has no
terror for these insects. It does not appear
to be indigenousto this country, and is evil
IDENTIFY of American origin. 1t is the opinion
of a we'll known English naturalist that, like
the cock roach it has been imported in mer-
chandise, and, like that insect, will retain its
place in the land Of its adoption.

COL. w. w. LANG's POsITIo On.

Col. Lang, having been requested 10
resign the position OF Master Of the
State Grange, Tor the purpose OF enter
ing the guberDatorial race, replied at
length, declining to do so. As will be
seen he expressed his willingness TO
serve the State a. Governor; thinks
there is no reason why he should resign
bis present position prior TO his election
TO that Office, land denies in toto all state
ments OF bis making combinations with
Gov. Roberts or any body else. We
quote so much of his letter as defines
his position fully:
"The people OF TexEs do not owe TO
me an office. If they think they require
my services in auy official capacity, the
means TO declare their wishes have been
provided, and are at their command, and
doubtless they will use them. My be-
ing Master OF the State Grange is no lc-
gal bar to my election, and if the people
desire TO elect me governor, they can
call me from that position as well as
from Master OF the Grand Lodge ofMa-
sons, Chief of Cotton Exchange, Presi-
dent of the State Press Association aud
other similar positions. Should they
elect me governor it will then be prop
er for me to disencumber myself OF all
other official relations, but cannot re-
sign my present position to place my.
self before the people 10 the attitude Ola
