Ger kinsm en-. Such instances, together
with the common theft of pupe, hel p to
explain the origin of ant-slavery; for
stolen pupe are. often kept for awhile be-
fore being devoured-justa among can
nibal savages slaves may have arisen
from the habit of keeping and fattening
any surplus captiveS taken in battle and
not Immediately required for food. The
| facts as to the eggs occasionally LAID by
workers, both among ants and bees, from
which males are always Matched, seem
full of significance for the solution of
famous problem in evoution-how
worker bees can inherit their instincts
from an unbroken ancestry of queens and
droneS, none of whom ever possessed
them If the workers eggs Matched out
workers, they would, of course, enter
very little, or not at all, into the pedi-
gree of the nest or hive. But through
their male offspring they may really con-
tribute regularly to keepup the standard
of instinct in their race.
Sir John Lubbock has watched his
ants, his bees and his wasps hour after
hour with unceasing fidelity, and has
chronicled their movements with the
minutest patience. Moreover, he has
employed direct experiment far more
fully than any previous investigator in
this ield-devising most ingenious plans
for getting insects unconsciously to dis
play their intelligence or stupidity, their
moral feeling or their INSCRIPTIONS

a t,lf hoe <,
Tory 10 the intellect and the morals of
the social insects. Their good qualities
are all of the most communistic sort;
there is little individual feeling, little
spontaneity of effort among them in any
way. They are very industrious; they
will fight recklessly for the hive or the
nest; they will accept death unhesitat-
ingly for the common advantage; and
they will even turn themselves into liv-
ing honey-jars on behalf of the COM
munity to which they belong. But they
exhibit few signs of personal affections
they are utterly careless of one another's
lives; and they seldom perform any acts
of individual benefcence. They are, in
short members of an insect phalanstery
which knows no ethical principle except
the collective good. As to intelligence,
Sir John Lubbock rather inclines to the
belief that ants possess some rude means
of intercommunication; and certainly
it is hard for any one who has watched
them closely to resist the conviction that
they talk to one another somehow with
their antenn@. The experiments on the
perception of color by bees conclusively
prove that these insects pan diStioOi1icb
all the prismatic hues as well as we our
selves, and help to throw light upon the
origin and development of colored flow
erS. Altogether the book is as interest
ing as it IS valuable; and the lucid sim
plicity of its style, unencumbered by
any unnecessary technicalities, is sure to
make it popular favorite.-St. James

The TarantuIa.

When the tarantula goes out into the

formed of sand and gravel that looks

impression that it was a vagabond. a
tramp among insects, roaming about in
quest of loose trouSer leg to crawl I'D.
when the fact is that it has fixed place
of abode-fixed, SO to speak, in the high
est style of insect art. The tarantula is
a spider of strict business habits, not
speculative or rash by any means, but
rather cautious and conservative. He
never attacks an insect larger than him
self, unless it happens to be dead. When
the sun goes down he saunters out, and
leisurely proceeds to prey on dissipated
ants and belated tumble-bugs, that have
heedlessly wandered from the paternal
domicile. His nocturnal raids, and the
fact that he sleeps all day, have preiu-
diced against him those hoary-headed
people who take wicked pleasure in
cornering their sons and clerks and
hurting busy-bee and early worm pro-
verbs at them before breakfast. But the
prejudices of these old fogies influence
the tarantula but little; for those who
know him best-the frontier Indian, the
horse thief, and the Mexican raider
have learned to appreciate him. aad
show their appreciation of his wisdom
by adopting his mode of life and consid-
ering it worthy of imitation. The most
perfect have their faults, however, and
the tarantula is no exception. When in
suited or injured in any way-sat down
upon, for instance-he will bite the first
soft place he can find, exuding vicious
substance said to be as fatal as the poison
of a rattlesnake, or the effects of frontier
whiskey. think this is SANDER, for |

ment for what it is worth probably about
five cents on the dollar-that an old In
dian, who lived on the Nueces, loved the
antidote so much that he carried around

One of the most delightful sights W,
know of is that of sunshine in human
faces. How such a man draws us to
himself. See his large, sunny nature.
Nothing seems to cloud his face. While
others are gloomy, or discouraged, he is
full of hope and full of courage. He
looks on the bright side; he laughs at
adversely and snaps his fingers in the
face of discouragements. He tones up
all around him. Soldiers on the march
feel the invigorating effect of such a
mans presence, Tired workers every.
where are cheered and strengthened by
the sight of such faces and the sound Of
such voices. ..
This is a priceless possession to a
mother, wife, teacher, minister, or any
leader of men. Think of the discour-
agement and WEAKNESS of working on,
day by day, by the side of one, Or under
the authority OF one, who is always
gloomy and morose. 1t were as pleasant
and as easy to labor in dark ness and in
shadows.
CHEEKY men and women are stronger
men and women. They do more. They
age less, carry no useless burdens, and
avoid much friction. Their faces are
known and read of all men, and what a
joyous, health-giving tale they tell.
Do you say this is all beautiful and
true, but these we speak of have no
trialSp No ill-health, or broken for
tunes, or crushed hopes have ever come
to shadow and embitter their lives?
Stop, friend, this supposition of yours is
all wrong. These men and women could
tell you often of severe sickness or great
reverses of fortune. These things have
not prevented them, need not prevent
any one, from living in the sunlight.
0, how we need such men and women
now. We need them in every home and
every church. Are you one of these?
Then you are doing good continually
doing it as the sun shines in heaven, or
the rain falls on the earth. God bless
you in your helpful ministry.
Are you not one of these? Then you
miss much of the sweetness and Joyous
ness of life. Get out from under the
clouds. You were never meant to live
in tears continually Rejoice! Cheer
up! Whistle, sing, do something to
brighten yourselves. Live honestly be-
fore God and man and do good. Cheer
up others and thus fill your soul with
sunlight. "God bless us every one,"
and fill our souls with the sunshine of
His presence, and our daily life with
sunny faces, kind words and unselfish
acts. Golden Rule.

The Seasons Small Catch Of Seals.

The seal fishery of 1882, now that all
returns are in, proves to be one of the
most disastrous on record. The total
number of seals landed at st. John has
been only 1879, 1922. About 10, 900 or 12-,
900 have been landed elsewhere, so that
the total catch will not much exceed
10000 seals. Last year AL, 1902 seals
were taken; in 1880 the catch was low,
but it reached 223, 795 seals; in 1877 it
amounted to 451, 67S; in 1874, 1897, 1856;
in 1872, 278, 1872; in 1871, 537, 094. Since
the year 1915 the catch has not fallen
below 213, 900 seals till the present year.
In 1913 it was 651, 1915 seals; in 1914,
685, $50; in 1850, 1888 In 1855 the
catch fell to 293, 0S3, but in 1858 rose to
507, 1924. In 1860 it was 444, POP, and in
1862, 26S, 1924. On the whole, it may be
safely affirmed that, though very fluctu-
ating, our seal fishery has not materially
declined as yet. The failure of this
year was caused by the heavy masses of
ice which blockaded the coast. Such an
ice blockade has not been seen for fifty
years. When the immense force now
brought to bear on the seal fishery, by
means of powerful steamers as compared
with former years, IS taken into account,
and when we consider that, notwith-
standing this splendid apparatus, the
catch has been the lowest for sixty-fve
years, some idea of the tremendous diff
culties presented this spring by the ice
may be formed. "There is sort of
goodness in things evil" The greater
proportion of the young seals born this
year have escaped, and will help to keep
up the stock and increase the number of
seals in after years, 1t has been kind
of "close season." enforced by the hand
of Nature The old seals, too, have
escaped the raid usually made upon
them, and the race has got prolonged
lease of life. Next year we may hope
for a good seal fishery in consequence of
the ''close time" of this year. st. John,

How Children are Killed in Berlin.

The Berltner Zeitung prints more
detailed account than has yet appeared
of the recent shooting of three children
by a sentry in Berlin. Two of the
children, eleven and thirteen years old,
were, it appears, playing the other day
on some of the grass plots round the
Invalidensaule when they were warned
off by the sentry stationed at the
Columns. After being spoken to several
times they seem to have left the for
hidden ground; but when the sentry
was relieved at five p. m. they came
back again on to the grass. The new
sentry in turn ordered them off; but
this time instead of obeying they began
to mock the sentry and throw stones
at him. Thereupon the latter brought
down his rifle to the loading position
and loaded with ball cartridge. Seeing
this the children fled in terror, and had
nearly reached the Panke Bridge when
report was heard, and the two chill
dren, together with third child, twelve
years old. who by chance came on TO
the square at the moment, all fell to tho
ground. Passers by FASTENED to the
spot, when it was found that the third
child, who had quite accidentally ap-
peared on the scene, was dead, while
the other two were badly wounded
The bullet fired by the sentry had in
fact, struck one child below the right
shoulder and passed out again at his
back. had then passed through the
feshy part of the arm of the second child,
and had finally struck the third child
on the right side of the chest and passed
through his lung. The sentry was az
once relieved, and an inquiry has since
been held; but it is reported that The
court found that the soldier acted with
in his rights, and that consequently he
could not be punished in any way.
