White Ant Macon Work.

s. l.. Clayes, in Swiss Cross.
The white ants seem to have an insuperable
objection TO being seen. and invariably work uu-
der cover. To accomplish this end they build
covered roads and galleries extending from their
excavations underneath the ground to the limb
of the tree which they have chosen for their
dwelling. First, a very small opening is made
in the earth close beside the tree, and the tiny
head OF q termite emerges with a pellet of earth
in its mouth. This is placed against the trunk.
this head disappears, returns again and another
pellet is laid beside the first, made firm in its
place, and the head is gone Again this is re-
prated, and other ants soon join IN the labor.
The pellets are so arranged as to form o half
circle against the side Of the tree, the ants al
ways working from within. AS each grain of
earth is brought up and added to the wall the
termits elects upon it from its mouth a sticky
saliva, meanwhile turning il over and over till
the whole is thoroughly covered. This acts as a
mortar: without it the wall would fall into utter
ruin almost as soon az it was begun; with it, it
becomes practically ndestructible. The wetted
grain is put upon the wall, worked to and fro
until we'll fitted to its place, and then tho ant
turns away to fetch another. These tunnels
often attain a length Of more than thirty feet
before reaching the spot whore the tree dwelling
begins.

A Needle Taken from u Child's Side.

hiihhh
Little Annie Ozburn, the two-and-a half
year-old daughter Of patrolman Bob Ozburn.
has had a remarkable experience with a needle,
and one that may be a timely warning to care
less nurses and careless mothers. About ten
months ago tho child was taken sick and grew
worse. becoming greatly reduced in weight and
suffering continuously. A number Of doctors
were called in, but could do the child no good.
Several times its life has been despaired of,
but the baby lived through il all, and about q
month ago began improving. The Improvement
was slow but steady, and attended with no un-
usual symptoms. Saturday afternoon the little
one complained Of o pain in its stomach, and
Mrs. Ozburn could feel, Oh the left eide. just
below the ribs, the outline Of q hard. pointed,
solid substance. DR.. z. F. Murray was at once
called in, and after cutting down and pressing
down on each side of the point, succeeded IN
getting the point far enough through to get hold
of it with a pair of pIncers. The needle, for
such it WAS, was so firmly imbedded that the
skin would follow the needle until torn loose.
1t was brought out without being broken. The
needle is q No. 4 or No. 5, about one and three
fourths or one and seven-eighths inch long.
The child was resting easy last night and will
be able to be out in q day or two. The SUPPOSE
ton Is that she swallowed the needle nearly a
year ago, and that It's presence In the stomach
accounts for her illness since that time.

altlmore sun.
The Sun correspondent visited tbs farm OF
Mr. Louis G. Jus,is. jr., on Wednesday after
noon. to watch the annual catch of carp out of
his poud. Mr.. Justi, was a member of the
Legislature of 1855. The farm upon which this
poud is located is beautifully situated, about
one mile beyond K~ennedyville, and is highly
productive. The pond is not more than fifteen
feet square. About FIVE years ago Mr.. Justis
placed in the pond a quantity Of young German
carp, and this was the third time they had been
thinned out. The water was let out. and the
fish were left in shallow water in the branch and
pond. Crabnets were used 10 capture them.
The most successful fisherman of all was
dan" a setter dog, belonging to the late John
Pennington. Dan would dart after a fish, and,
invariably catching il by the head. would laud
il on the shore. lie brought at least twenty
five of them to the shore, and seemed to take
delight in capturing them after a chase. There
were more than l25 OF the golden German carp,
weighing from y to 8 pounds, caught OF. Of q
hole not larger than a barrel.

The Most Complete Newspaper in

State of Indiana.

No newspaper in the West is more widely or more
favorahly known than the INDIANAPOLIS JOURNAL.
By the display of enterprise and strict attention to the
wants of the reading public, during the
great campaign of 1883, it has taken . leading Pc.
sition among the most prominent journals of the

the newspapers of the State it is prominently the
best, and Indiana readers can nowhere else find what
they want in the way of State and local news. II

correspondents in every town and village of impor-
lance. Its market reports are prepared with the
greatest care possible, and no pains or expense are
spared to make them accurate and absolutely reliable.
1t is the only newspaper in the State owning and pub
fishing all the news furnished by the two great press
associations Che Western Associated Press and the
United Press. in addition to which it furnishes an
abundance of special service from all the principal
cities of the country. 1t has been. and viii in future
be. the aim of the publishers to make the INDIAN.

No Indiana reader, c ertsinly no Indiana republican.
