That's a common express

meaning. How much suf-
fering is summed up in it.
The singular thing about
it is, that pain in the back
IS occasioned by SO many

.,.Incy disease, liver COM
,aint, consumption, cold,
.acumatism, dyspepsia, over

Whatever the cause, don't
neglect it. Something is

it does this by commencing

A Natural ANt Trap.

Mr.. ]. Harris Stone describes in Ma
fure how he found in Norway one Of the
catchfies busily trapping aunts. Last
June he was staying at Husom, in the
L@rdai Valley, Norway. where he OBJ.
served on the almost precipitous sides
OF the valley number OF the red Ger
man catchfy. The plants were grow
ing luxuriantly some one thousand
feet above the bed of the river, and
were showing gorgeous array Of bios.
SONS. On plucking some of the flowers
he became aware of the most unpleasant
sickness around the stems, in some
instances the glutinous secretion being
powerful enough to support the
whole weight of the stem when he
inverted and opened his hand. On
examining the plauts he was surprised
at finding on quite ninety Ave per
cent, either the dead bodies OF a large
species of ant or individuals in all
stages Of dying. Some Towering stems
bad only one dead or dying ant upon
each; others had two; other had three;
while others had as many as seven or
eight Some ants, had as it were, sim
ply laid down In the glutinous matter
and suecumbed without further strug.
Cling. The heads Of others, firmly i'm
Bodied in the treacherous gum, with the
rest Of the body stiffened and suspended
in mid-air, testified to violent and
prolonged resistance. Some ants again
had the body, arched up, as if to avoid
contact with the stem, and the legs
were only fatally caught. The gluti-
nous or sticky tracks lay around the
stem directly beneath the holes, and
were about half an inch or more in
depth.
