ger kinsmen Such instances, together
with the common theft of pupe, help to
explain the origin of ant-slavery; fel
stolen pup@ are often kept for awhile be
fore being deyoured-iusta among can
nibal savages slaves may have arisea
from the habit of keeping and fattenine
any surplus captives taken in battle and
not Immediately required for food. Thu
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 CT
famous problem in evolution-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 keep up the standard
of instinct in their race. n
Sir John Lubbock has watched his
ants his bees and his wasps hour after
hour with unceasing fidelity, and has
clironieled their movements with the
minutest patience, Moreover, he has
employed direct experiment far more
fully than any previous investigator in
this field-deyising most ingenious plans
for getting insects mconsciously to dis
play their intelligence or stupidity, their
moral feeling or their unscrupulous
selfshness.g On the. whole, both as re-
CARDS bees and ants, the result of these
admirable researches is rather deroga-
tory to 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-s
lngly 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 affection;
they are utterly careless of one another's
lives; and they seldom perform any acts
of individual benefieence. They are, in
short, members of an insect phalansterv
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 REORGANIZATION; 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 can distinguish
all the prismatic hues as well as we our
seives. and help to throw light upon the
origin and development of celored flow
ers. Altogether the book is as interest
ing as i IS valuable; and the lucid sim
plicity OF its style, unencumbered by
any unnecessary technicalities, is sure to
make it popular favorite.-St. James
Gazette.

Kind Horses.

There are some horses whose dispo-
sitions are naturally SO kindly that thew
need no special training in that direction.
But, as arule, it is best to begin their
education early, and the earlier the bet
ter. Petting and fondling have the same
effect ON colt that they do on child:
they draw him to you, beget his conf.
dence, and teach him to depend upon
you for many things. ; When YOU first
break him to the halter, If, indeed, he is
not so gradually broken as to submit to
the halter at the very first without obiec-
ton, he should be made to feel that it
was only step in education, instead of
into slavery. He should be made to hear
your voice gladly, and to understand
that your presence is always his gain.
The degree of intelligence with which he
holds his nose to be rubbed, or laws Il
on your shoulder to be patted, IS in
striking contrast with the fear other
horses will manifest in your presence.
A little attention to colts at the right
time will be more than repaid by thou
U their ripper years.-N r San.
