ANIMAL COMMUNITIES.

The Communists of Nature, Their Habita
and Property.
The social animals form true CON-
munities. They are banded together
by certain common interests, and pos
sess a principle of association beyond
the ordinary. They present the germi-
nal condition of political society.
These comprise most of the large her
bivora, with aggregate purposes of
common defense. in some cases station
ing sentries for protection while feed
ing, and in others following certain ac-
knowledged leaders. Instances of any
such association are among carnivora.
the wolves being the most marked ex-
ample.
Yet in the social animals. as rule,
the common interests are few and the
links of association weak. Individual
ity largely persists, there is no idea of
common properly, and nearly or quite
the only interest in common is that of
attack or defense. Separated from these
by broad interval are some three or
four animal tribes whose socialism is
of so advanced a type that it fairly de-
serves TO be indicated by special
name. These tribes comprise the ants.
bees and termites. among insects. and
the beavers among mammals. Their
conditions of association are so differ
ent from those prevailing in most other
cases that it seems proper to consider
them as separate class. l propose
for them the title of communal ami
mails. as most distinctive of their life
habits
Instead of possessing 4 few links ot
combination these animals have most
or all of the relations of life in COM
mon. In ant and bee communities, for
instance. indiSi,iuaiiSm has vanished.
All property is neld in common. all la
Dor is performed for the community,
there are common home, common
stores, common duties. community
alike in assault and defense. and it is
difficult or impossible TO detect any ant
Or bee doing anything for itself alone.
or performing any act which is not in
tended for the good of the community
as whole. Selfishness, so far as the
nome community is concerned, seems
to have vanished, and labor and life
freely given for the good of this great
whole. with no evident display of
any thought of individual comfort
or aggrandizement. - Popular Science

DON'T CUT THE STRiNGl

The Habit of Waste in Little Things q
Drawback to Ones value sAd Useful
Said one of the most successful
merchants Of Cleveland, O., Il day or
two since, to a lad who was opening a
parcel: Young man, unite these
stringS-don't cut themr' 1t wasn't
the first remark he had made to a new
employee. 1t was the first lesson for
the lad TO learn, and involved prin-
ciples of success o: failure in his busi-
ness career. Pointing to a well-dresSed
man behind the counter, he said:
There is man who whips out his
scissors and cuts tie strings of the
package in three or four places. He is
a good salesman, but will never be
anything more. presume he lives
from hand to mouth and very likely is
more or less in debt. The trouble with
him is that he was never taught to
save. told the boy just now to unite
the string instead of cutting it. not so
much for the value of the string as to
teach him that everything must be
saved and nothing wasted. If the idea
can be firmly impressed upon the mind
at a beginning in life that nothing was
made to be wasted, you have laid the
foundation of success"
The moral of this little incident is
self-evident. A young man well
brought up, with fair education,
seeks employment in a business house.
The habit of waste in little things is
noticeable, and becomes 4 drawback on
his value and usefulness to his employ
er. The disregard ct saving strings
and paper develops into carelessness
that runs through all his habits. He
does not get on in the world because
he is wasteful. Small sums slip
through his fingers almost uncon-
sciously because they are small He
wastes time by the minute. without a
thought of the old adaSe: Take care
of the minutes and the hours will take
care of themselves"
Sitting in the cOuntiNg-room of one
of Cleveland's oldest and most sue
cessful merchants of the day we noticed
that he cut off the blank sheets of the
letters he was engaged in filing. The
name of this man is a SYNONYM of
character and benevolence, and his
liberality in all good works is almost
unbounded. His attention being
called to what seemed to be an unu.
sual proceeding, he said: Yes, it
may strike you as a singular thing to
save these half sheet of paper, but l
commenced life as a boy in a country
store, and this was one of the first les
sons in saving little things that was
taught me by my employer. He has
been nearly half century under the
sod but Ineverdo this without thinking
Of the good old man. l believe it was
the cause of my success in life"
This saving of little things does Eot
imply stinginesS or meanness. 1t is
simply the habit of saving instead of
wasting. 1t is embodied in the motto:
:. Waste not. want not" Therefore
we do say: Don't cut the string-

What do you think the minister said
to the children after prayers that nightP
1t was this: That's a plucky little
Bantam of yours, boys" They both
turned pale. Garry began to cry. He
continued: Il wish could obtain one
just like him for my little sick'y boy at
home. He is very fond of such pets.
Was he not good? Elmer told Frank
confidentially. "If that minister would

said Frank, '.he's the man for ME; he
knows enough to admire Bob.
When not doing anything else Bob
was certain to be teasing Tabby. She
did not care one fig on her own ac-
count, but those kittens of hers they
must not have their eyes put out before
they We're fairly opened to the glorles
of this beautiful world. All her moth
erly instincts and feelings forbade it.
One lovely summer afternoon when
the entire family We're absent excepting
Katy KOs-ta-ma-lasky-John NikOta
said she had no eyes or ears for any
thing else-Tabby got her back up at
Bob. First she cuffed him. then she
spit in his face, and had about made
up her mind to eat him alive,
when he escaped from her clutches.
He flew on to the soap barrel and
crowed over her.
Tabby, doubly enraged, sprang up
after him. Her weight tipped the
cover off and Bob fell into the barrel.
Tabby fell in too, but she got out
again. Bob never did. At least not
until next morning. when Elmer fshed
him out. Then he was dead. OF course
he was.
What vast pity SO little, SO hand
some, so plucky bird should have
met his death in a soap barrel.
Long and sincerely the children
mourned for him. They laid him ten
DERBY in a little tin box and buried him
in a shady corner in the garden.
Elmer put white palings around his
grave, and Carrie planted white rose
bush upon it. Frank set up little
headstone. upon which was printed

The heavy lines show the old base
lines, while the light lines exhibit the
newly-arranged paths. BY the new
plan the pitchers box would be placed
back five feet from the place at pres
ent occupied, enabling the curvcr to
guard first and second bases more eff
fectively. The batsmen would have a
decided advantage, fewer strike-outs
would result. making brilliant fielding.
and giving scientific batsmen and fast
runners more chances to beat the ball
to first base. The catcher would also
be brought ten feet nearer to second
base. enabling him to throw more ac-
curatcly to that point for 4, the purpose
of preventing free stealing. The change
in the foul lines would eliminate the
large number of foul hits, by giving the
batsmen chance to drive the ball be-
tween the in-fielders. together with
causing the out-lieldeTs to spread
farther apart. increasing the chances
for longer hits and more brilliant field
ing AS the essential points of base
ball consists Of free hitting, clean-cut
fielding and fast base-runnin%. there
are potent arguments 20 favor the
change, as it would increase the bat
ting, lessen the battery work without
tanning the pitcher, increase the work
of the iielders fifty per cent, and cause
base runners to exercise good judg
ment with speed. Sacramento Bee.

THE coLoRED SEXTON.
His Pertinent Reply to the Wealthy

Brother BaScom.
The sexton of Baptist Church in
large Western city was good colored
brother, who rarely took part in the
social religious meetings of the society;
but when he did, all present held their
breath, for it was well known that
some one was to be shit on the head,
and great amusement was in store for
the others. On this particular occasion
the subject of the prayer-meeting was
Christian Humility" Mr.. Bascom,
one of the wealthiest church members

and toying with his elegant gold watch

my mouth and my mouth in the dust,
and crying out: .Unclean! unclean"
When he was seated, the colored
brother rose in the rear of the room,
and slowly advancing, faced the audi
ence, and thus addressed them: ''Brud-
