1.-TWO ants" says Buchner, ewhen. they are
talking to"ether, stand with their heads oppo-
site to each other, working their sensitive feel
ers In the iveliest. manner, and tapping each
others heads" Numerous examples prove
that they are able in this way to make mutual
communications and even OH definite subjects.
II have often" says the English naturalist
Jesse, splaced a small green caterpillar in the
neighborhood of an ants nest. It is immedi-
ately seized by an ant, which calls in the assist
ance of a friend after Intellectual efforts to drag
the caterpillar into the nest. It can be easily
seen that the little creatures hold conversa-
ton by means of their feelers, and this being
ended, they repair together to the caterpillar in
order to draw it into the nest by their united
strength. Further, T have observed the
meeting Of ants on their way to and from their
nests. They stop, touch each other with their
feelers, and appear to hold conversation,
which, I have good reason to suppose, refers
to the best ground for food" Hague writes q
letter to Darwin that he one day killed with his
fingers a. number of ants who came every day
from hole in the wall to some plants standing
on the chinney-piece. He had tried the effect
of brushing them away, but it was Of no use,
and the consequence Of the slaughter was that
the ants who were on their way Immediately
turned back and tried to persuade their COM
panions who were not yet aware Of the danger,
to turn back also. Ashort conversation ensued
between the ants, which, however, did not re-
suit in an immediate return, for those who had
lust left the nest convinced themselves OF the
truth of the report

Rivalry i'm the Dry Goods Trade.

Clara Belle in Cincinnati Enquirer.
In one Of the large stores I saw . young
woman trying on an ulster. Suddenly an en-
ploye snatched the garment off her shoulders
and commanded her to go out. She insisted
that she wanted to buy the cloak, but was
rudely expelled This was because she was
taken for an emissary Of rival dealers, and was
supposed to have come as a spy to learn prices
and qualities They made a mistake, however,
and the consequence is suit for damages. A
manager of a large establishment tells me that
nearly every firm in the fancy and dry-goods
lines employs woman to make rounds
Of the stores in the g1ise of an ordi-
nary shopper, in order to collect information.
Her reports serve as q guide for the raising or
the lowering Of prices. If she finds that some
competitor has marked down lotof calicoes,
for instance, her employer will either make
still lower reduction, or meet this particular
point vf opposition by throwing some similar
line OF goods on his bargain counter. The
riyalrg is SUCH and the trade so divided, that
sometimes hundreds of dollars will be delber-
ately sacrificed in day by selling in certain
depa, tments below cost, for the sake Of out
doing the merchant on the next block. There
ia no longer one establishment possessing any
monopoly of fashionable patronage. Not
even 10 it any social misdemeanor for Fifth
avenue woman to buy her fnery of Broadway

Puck's Luck and Pluck.

Now YORK IrlDune.
Not many publishers of periodicals have
achieved moro signal success in SO short time
than Messrs. Keppler and Schwarzmann, the
proprietors of Puck Six years ago they were
employed by frank Leslie on moderate salaries
respectively as caricaturist and foreman Of a
printing Off :. When MI. Keppler determined
to emb = new enterprise and selected Mr..
schwarzmann-sa blushing boy who could not
be hired to so to dinner-party," he says-fol
his partner, the two were able to raise only
$500 as the financial basis Of their establish
ment. Unable to procure proper ~planr," they
had to resort to the various devices hitherto
unknown to engravers, and at the same time
Mr. Keppler's bold cartoons attracted attention
and patronage, so that in a double sense that
gentleman truly says: "We had to use our
brains and economic at first, because we were
poor, but our inventions made us rich. 1t
will perhaps enable the thousands who every
week enjoy the good things Of Puck to laugh
with more hearty satisfaction to know that
from that seed of 81 500 is nowannually reaped
harvest for each of the plucky and talented
planters which a bank president might envy

That weaves BY the beautiful river,
Where waters Aowswarm, whore willows dfDo9
BY. .s
Where stars Of heaven they shine for ays,
If you take not hold Of that drsgon-fy
By the musical, mystical river:
Let Love go his wsy; let the lilies grow
BY that beautiful, silvery river;
Let tall tules nod; let noisy reeds blow;
Let the lilies lips open and quiver;
But when Love may come, or when Love may
go,
You may guess and may guess, but you.nsvar
shall know,
\ While the silver stars rise on that.river:
But this you may know: If you clasp Loves
And you hold him hard by that river,
Why, his eyes grow green, and he turns and hs
stings,
And the waters wax icy and shiver;
The waters wax chill, and the silvery wings
OF Love they are broken, as broken heart
strings,
While darkness comes down on that river.

Alice Eary's Beginning in Literary
Work.

Youths Companion,
From her father she inherited poetic temper
ament love of nature and of dumb creatures.
From her mother she inherited her interest in
public affairs, her passion for justice, her de-
votion to truth and duty, as she saw it, her
clear perceptions and sturdy common-sense.
Alice wrote, studied and published for ten
long years, often discouraged and despondent,
vet never despairing. One of the severest
criticisms passed on her early poems was that
thew were .full of graves Remembering the
bereaved and lonely girl, whose daily walk end
ed at the tomb on the hillside, where her mother
and sisters slept, how could her early song es.
cape the shadow OF death and tho Vloratlon OF
sorrow?
Her first literary adventure appeared in The
Sentinel {now Star of the Vest, published in
Cincinnati. It was entitled aThe Child Of
Sorrow" and was written in her eighte enth
year. After the establishing of The National
" for it's columns, and here, for the first time,
attempted prose in series OF stories under
fictitious name.
A few years after, Alice, with her sister
Phoebe, abandoned their home in tho west and
went to New York, where they remained and
worked.
Soon after she published the first series Of
sClovernook Papers," They were full Of the
freshness and fragrance of her native fields;
full Of the simple, original, graphic pictures Of
the country, and the men and women she loved
best: full IF the exquisite touches of a spon-
taneous oaildike genius. They were gathered
up by the public as eagerly as the children
gather wild flowers. They sold largely in this
country and in Great Britain.
The next year second series was published
with unal,ated success, and the following year
the sCloyernook Children" was published.
This was as popular with young readers as the
sPapers" had been with the elders.

POPULATION. D
The Growth OF France, the Smalles
OF any Nation I'm ChristendOm.

The Growth or France, the Smallest
of any Nation I'm Christendom.
Chicago Tribune
is a startling fact to any student of social
science. Areport recently made to the presi-
dent by the minister of the interior touching
the census of the reprblic shows that the
population in the fifty years from 1851 to 1851
has increased only 51oe,ss5, the population in
1881 having been 2,569, ,2S. During that
period the population of Great Britain has in
creased 100000 In five years ending In
1850 Germany has innGsased almost Is much
as France in fifty ysars. The yearly in
crease in the variuus countries is tabu-
lated as follows: Fralse average for last
fiftv years). 95.O39: Great Britain average
for last five years., $40. 116: Germany average
for last five years., 493, 800; United States Of
America average for last ten years., 1,l55, AZ.
When these figures are submitted to analysis
it appears still worse for France. If the yearly
Increase of 10000 of the inhabitants be prop
erly calculated we have the following results:
Average increase for every i, 600 inhabitants--
France, 26: Great Britain, 101: Germany, us;
United States, 26o These figures mean that
viii exist but 10026 at the end Of one year,
while in the United States the increase
for the same period will be to 1O,260
For the small excess of births over
deaths but three causes can be
alleged-an excessive death rate, small propor-
ton of marriages to the population, or the
sterility of the marriages. The death rate is
not an excessive one; on the other hand it is:
lower than in most of the European nations
The proportion of marriages il not small,
consequently there can be no other cause
than the small number of children as the re-
suit of marriage. The average number Of
children to each marriage is smaller in
France, indeed, than in any other country in
the world. Commenting upon these signs of
national degeneracy, as furnished by the
official census tables. The London Times says:
Before fifty years are over France Will, at
her present slow. of rate increase Of population,
have sunk, if not to the level of q second-rate,
st least to the bottom of the list of the great
powers. If we suppose that the population OF
the United States and of the various countries
Of Europe are decimated by no wars or excep-.
tional maladies, and still preserve their present
frontiers, and go on increasing at the present
rate of increase, their populations will by the
year 1882, a time which our children will see,
be as follows: United States, 190, ,000, 600; Rus,
sia, 156, 100000; Germany $500, 900; Great IRE
Britain, 63, CO., 600: Austria-Hungary, 4UOO,
coo: and Italy, 4,0Oo, ,0O0 So that France,
which century ago was really La Grande Ma
ton, having the largest population in Europe,
will be hut the sixth in rank in point of num-

IN A SANDSTOR
L Railroad Train Halted in tho Aejavs
Desert By 4 Simeon.

8on Francisco Examiner.
The southern overland train which should
nave reached this city on Monday afternoon,
only arrived at $40 Tuesday night having been
delayed at Sumner by terrific sandstorm
that ragged through the Mojave desert and
spread out over portion of the surrounding
country. The storm began in the early morn
ing, and when the train reached Sumner, in
Kern comfy, had become regular simoom.
The wind swept across the sandy wastes with
such violence that the train swayed and
rocked under tho violence Of the blasts, and
seemed ready to tiunge from the track.
The moon had become overcast in the early
part of the night, and the journey
was continued in a darkness that rap
idly increased until the day began in
Stygian gloom. The passengers, who had been
aroused from their sleep by the fierce assaults
of the wind and the dashing of the sand against
tho windows of the train, looked anxiously for
the appearance of the sun, but no gleam Of
light relieved the forbidding darkness of the
east. Night maintained her sway; and the
blackness of the heavens grew intense with
the morning, until the strong headlight OF
the locomotive almost failed to pierce it. The
small portion of the desert which was exposed
by the engines lights only served to dlscour-
age the travellers The track was lost under
the pillows of sand that were being tossed
across the rails by the angry storm. Inc
desert moved like sea, and when the waves
of sand struck the shivering sides OF the train
they scattered like spray and filled the air
with dust which made free breathing impos-
sible. ...D..
The travellers fears Of being stopped by .
Sumner, which is 314 miles from San Fran
cisco, the train moved cautiously for 10 miles
through the shifting waste and then stopped
with crash. The alarmed passengers hardly
dared face the driving storm to learn the cause
of the unpleasant halt The few intrepid per-
found that their express train had run into q
freight train which had stopped in an impassl-
bic sand drift The slow rate at which the ex-
press was moving enabled the engineer to stop
the train in time to prevent a serious accident,
and the collision was only sufficient m to cast the
remained on the rails. 1t was then ten O'Clock,
20 slowly had the express train proceeded
through the binding storm after leaving
Sumner. The darkness of tho night
I. had 9aye 9ny e9eso within and the fooa:
hours the passengers were compelled to re-
main on the detached train while relief was
being obtained from Sumner. Assistance hav-
Ing arrived, the track was cleared Of sand suf-
fciently to allow relief engine to pull the OK
press train back to Sumner, whore the passen-
gers found slim accommodations until the
storm blew over. Toward 5 o'clock lin the af
ternoon the darkness began to disappear. but
the simoom maintained it's vigor until night
fall Yesterday morning the unfortunate
passengers proceeded on their journey, the
remainder of which was made without sensa:
tional incident, as gangs of Cinnamon had
been at work all night, and had cleared the
track of the accumulated drift.

When Bees Grow Large as Horses
Norristown Herald. .
Mons Pateau has discovered that while a
horse can pull only six-sevenths of its weight,
a bee can pull twenty times its weight When
some one discovers how to grow bees as large
as horses, the latter animal will have to take
back seat But it would be fatal to fool around
the heels of such bee. With its jave1in it
could pin a man against the side of the stable.
Perhaps it would be better not to raise bees
any larger than the present crop.
