China leads civilized countries in
finding use for its ants. Professor
Riley, of the agricultural bureau.
Washington, has received from Han
Chow an account of a curious Use
made of ants IN that part of China.
1t seems that in many parts of the
province of Canton the orange trees
are injured by certain worms, and to
rid themselves of these pests the in
habitants import ants from the neigh
boring hills. The hill people through
out the summer and winter find the
nests of two species of ants, red and
yellow, suspended from the branches
"f various trees. The trees are colon
lied by placing the ants on their up.
per branches, and bambUo rods are
stretched between the different trees,
so as to give the ants easy access to
the whole orchard. This remedy has
been in constant use at least since 1910,
and probably dates from a much
earlier period.

former correspondent that Ter the uniqueness
of her law.givers, the wit and genius Of the

manner In which they unravel the most intri-

taiply would haye been no necessity for eX-

the evidence was reached That fascinating
and most wonderful Cicero has the power to
charm or inspire her courts to render decisions
at his will. The supreme courts of the land
have not the power or wisdom in their decls-
ions that this court seems to possess or at least
exercise. Why just think OF It! through her
modern Blackstone this court passed sentence
upon the clerk of the board of directors and
ordered that he be imprisoned in the county
Jail at Ottawa until he should produce and
surrender the paper, and but for the timely
advice of some of the bondsmen of the con.

some of the wonderful proceedings OF this
wonderful court, which, without rendering

did not propose to pay, but took an appeal to
the circuit court, where he will make defense.

why No scotchmen Go to Heaven.

Long years ago, IN times so remote that his
tory does not fix the epoch, a dreadful war was
waged by the King of Scotland. Scottish va
lor prevailed, and the King OF Scotland, elated
by his success sent for his Prime Minister,
Lord Alexander.
'Well, Sandy" SAID he, rs there necr a
King we Gamma conquer moo"
"An' it please your Majesty, ken o a King
that your Majesty Gamma vanquish."
"An' who Is he, Sandy?"
Lord Alexander, reverently looking up said
"Tbe King o. Heaven"
"The King O. whur, Sandy"
"The King o Heaven"
The Scottish King did not understand, but
was unwilling to exhibit any ignorance.
"Just gang your ways, Sandy, and tell King
o Heaven to gle up his domlnions, or III
come myself and ding him DOT o. them; and
mind, Sandy, we dlnna cone back tn us untl
ye haze dune DOR biddln'."
Lord Alexander retired much perplexed
but met priest, and, treasured, returned anc
presented himself.
"Well, Sandy" said the King "ha' we seer

The BABY Tower of Shanghai.

The baby tower! Look through that rem,
IN the stonework-not too close, or the stream
OF effiuvla may kill you. You see a mound
OF wlsps and bamboo straw. 1t seems to move
but it Is only the crawling of the worms
Sometimes tiny leg or arm, or a little flesh
less bone, protrudes from the straw. The
tower is not so full now as | have seen IT.
They must have cleared it out recently. Is this
cemetery or a slaughter-house? The Chi
nese say 1t is only tomb. Collins are dear
and the peasantry are poor. When a child
dies the parents wrap it round with bamboo,
throw 1t in at the window and all is done.
When the tower is full the proper authorities
burn the heap and spread the ashes over the
land. There is no inquiry, no check. The
parent has unlimited power to Kill or save.
Nature speaks IN the heart of Chinese moth.
er, but want and shame speak louder still.
There is founding hospital in the Chinese
city, with cradle outside the door and hol-
low bamboo above it. Strike blow on the
bamboo and the cradle Is drawn inside. If il
contains an infant it is taken and cared for,
and no questions asked. There is also a system
of domestic slavery in China; at an early age
child is worth dollar. A father or mother
may for money delegate without losing it; for
although the father may have sold his son to
q stranger, or although mother may have
sold her daughter TO prostitution-and cOncu-
bines in China are only thus to be obtained
the duty from child TO parent remains unim-
paired, ard is strictly performed. The incen-
tives thus offered by native charity may save
lives that would otherwise be destroyed but
this baby tower is terrible institution. 1t
stands there close to the wall OF crowded
city, an intrusive invitation to infanticide

department Of ST. Louis furnishes statistics
concerning So cases CT smallpox treated at the
hospital IN that city, from which valuable
lesson can be learned relative to the efficacy Of
vaccination. Of the number, % who had
never been vaccinated had continent smallpox
and 90 Of them died OF those vaccinated
more than fifteen years ago, nearly half had
continent smallpox, and just about as large a
proportion died as those who had not been
vacclnsted at all. OF i2 who had been vac
cInated within > years, , died, and the Others
had varolcid and recovered. THIS would
seem 10 demonstrate pretty cOnclusively that
in frequent vaccination only is there safety,
and that vaccination performed more than fit
teen years ago is no protection at all.

wife. "You gave little blow out the other
evening, didn't you, that you SAID was very

"but what has that to do with your drunken
