"A singular combat between insects
was witnessed by a traveller in South
Africa. Pursuing caterpillar was a
host of small ants. An ant would
mount upon the caterpillsr's back and
bite him. Pausing, the caterpilar
would turn and bite and kill his tori
mentor. After slaught-ring a dozen OF
more OF his persecuiors The caterpilaf
showed signs Of fatigue. The ants,lnade
combined attack. Betaking himself
TO a stalk of grass the caterpillar
climbed up, tail first, followed by the
ants. As soon as one approached he
seized it in his jaw and threw il off the
stalk. The ants, seeing that the eater
pillar had too strong position for them
to overcome, resorted to strategy. They
began saving through the grass stalk.
In few minutes the stalk fell, and
hundreds of ants bounced upon the cat
erpillar and he was killed, and the vic
tors marched off in triumph, leaving
the foes body on the field.

Mr.. G.. +. Watts, K. A., English ar

arms, when very tightly enclosed, look
not little like sausages. But it is al
ways to be remembered that folds, with
their infinite changeableness of shade,
light and shadow. are more beautiful
than anything, excepting that perfec-
ton of form which is rarely found.

the most gratifying results. The relieving

The pain and rack of body, incidental to a
tight cough, soon disappear by the use of a
spoonful according to directions. My wife
frequently sends for Halls Balsam instead
of a physician, and health is speedily re-
stored by its use.
