The Youth who Knew 1t All.

The youth had been patronizing the
young ladies by vouchsating choice bits
of superior wisdom, according to the
statement of the Boston Transcript.
'You remember what Caesar said when
he was about to cross the Rubiconp"
said the old. gentleman. Certainly"
replied the youth, with careless glance
of pity at the young ladies, who. of
course, could not be expected to know
everything that man knows. ''And
of course you are equally familiar with
the life of Peter the Hermit" contin-
ued the old gentleman. Il should say
that was," replied the young man,
quickly, but not, without 81 slightly
troubled look in his face. '.And Semira-
mide,"s the old gentleman went on,
'you recall his famous saying?" .Yes."
igasped thesyouth, wishing that the old
gentleman might be struck with apo
plexy as soon as convenient. II am
glad you remember it, said the old
gentleman, with animation, tfor I've
clean forgotten it. Now, Il you'll be
kind enough, and no doubt the ladies
would be glad to hear it also" &5
The youth by this time wished that
the old gentleman had died in infancy,
and as for the young ladies, he couldn't t
help thinking how much better it would
have been had they never been born.
"By the way" pursued the old gentle
man, seeing the youth hesitate, "who
was SemiramideP He had something
to do with the last Franco-P -Prussian war
hadn't hep" Eyes, oh yes," replied the
youth, catching at the bait with eager
ness, while something like giggle
was passed around among the young
ladies, as if it were paper OF caramels.
''And Peter the Hermit was instrument
al in bringing about peace at the
close of that struggled" Eyes. " The
youth said this very family. Caesar
held out and marched his shattered
force into the Wallachian principalityp"
That's the way ] remember it, ]" re-
piled. the youth, with a desperation
born of despair. Then the old gentle
man looked at the young ladies, who
were engaged in stufiing their mouths
full of pocket-handkerchief, and then
he looked at the youth and exclaimed:
"Ah, sir, how envy you your store Of
knowledge! What comfort you must
be to your parents!" Then the youth
got up and went out into the cheerless
night, and cursed the old gentleman
behind his back. And the young ladies
laughed in unison, but the noise of
their laughter was overborne by the
merry peals of the old gentleman. li'

evening daily of Cincinnati. In speak
ing of the "new trouble between capital
and labor" it calls for calm considera-
ton and if possible, settlement, and says:
"The question involved, in the prac-
tice of taking the entire body of con-
sumers to insure profit to certain pro-
ducers, will not remain in allegiance
much longer, for while labor is general

q hundred thousand miles of operating

are robbing the real investors on one

huge monopoly, we say, lies outside OF
all law, and of course legal control has
to be met.

huge territories have been given to cor

The Singular and Painful Experience
: ~ OF q Farmer who Invaded - d
/. an Insect Home.


ERIE, Pa, Aug. 16.-Isaac Brunett,
farm hand In the Beech woods country,
had awonderful experiencea few days
since, and one in which he came near
losing his life. He was picking berries
In wild patch OF undergrowth in
dense wood. when he suddenly disturb
ed a hill of black ants. Their hill was
covered by a thin crust of earth, and
when he stepped upon the shell 1t gave
way and he sank to his waist through
the honeycombed nest. The occupants
orawled up his pants legs at once, and
before he could extricate himselfhe was
covered from head to foot with myriads
of the insects. When he had to knock
them off they showed fight and bit him.
They crawled into his eyes, ears, nose
and mouth. The terrified victim cried
out for help and before he could reach
the edge of the wood myriads of the
pestiferOus insects had covered his face,
binding and almost suffocating him.
He fell helpless to the ground and must
have perished there had it not been for
his brother, who, hearing his cries of
distress, came from quite a distance.
Fortunately a stream of water ran close
by. and with his hat the rescuer dipped
water up, and throwing it into his
brothers. face drove the ants off, and
with the same treatment freed his body
of the insects. Mr.. Brunett is fright
fully bitten, but the bites do not seem
to have been poisonous, and under sim
pie treatment there was but little swell
ing. The bites are very sore, and there
is some apprehension that serious re-
suits may follow. The ants were of the
large black species. The case is with
out precedence in this section of the
country, and it is believed that but for
the rescue Brunett would have been
suffocated and bitten to death and then
deyoured. .-I...
