THE SECRET GUT.
Q the Editor of The Republic.


 year ago l wrote an article which you kindly published, endeavoring to prove what 1 then believed, and now all men know 1t to be the fact. that the Grand Army of the Repub- !lc, to winch l belong, and of which 1 was one of the founders, is polit- lcal organization of the Republic can , party, to which 1 also belong, and of which l was one of the mighty few founders now living. It was a bod claim. and so considered at the time. The article was copied and commented on with severity by hundreds of papers, and friend iy Indians marked the papers con. taining these comments, and sent them to me with letters more or less spicy and vicious. was called a lar by some, a traitor to the order of the G. A. R. by others, while some of the playful paragraphers, who were hot born when 1 and a few friends Were laying the founda- .ions of the Republican party and of the q. A.

He will spend some time i'll New York City and, perhaps, will make Western trip later Tn the spring as far as the Paeifiecoast When sum- mer opens 1t is likely to find fin at his brothers parsonage up on the edge of the North woods, ready to strike into the wilderness for good long fishing expedition, and then-well.

MIND YOUR BUSINESS.
Bob I}urdette Tells How One May Grow
Healthy, Wealthy and Wise.

Bob Burdette Tells How One May Grow
Healthy. Wealthy and Wise.
''Diligent in his business!' 1t is the
man who is diligent in his own bust
ness to whom this exalted position is
promised. There are people, dearly
beloved, who are diligent in every
body else's business, and have, there
fore, no time to attend to their own.
They do not stand before kings; they
more frequently stand before the po-
lice Judge. Their diligence is not COM
mendable. A workman is known by
his chips; so, alas! is the faro banker.
Do you be diligent in your own bust
ness and be content with it's rewards.
You may not walk SO many miles in
six days as Fitzgerald, but you can
sleep a great deal more in that time,
and if you do not get so much money
for ii, neither do you get so many bis
ters. On your little salary at the sus-
pender counter, you can not clean up
$780, 900 on Wall street this week. But
then neither can you be cleaned out of
$3.50, 600 next week. You may
not be able to set the fashions
in male attire, but you can fill
your soul with nameless Joy and an ex-
altation of celestial birth, and climb to
the top of high Olympus, and lean
back and pile your feet on the sofa,
and make yourself easy with the i'm
mortal gods, by paying your landlady
every Saturday and keeping even with
your tailor. You may never be the
Washington correspondent of society
paper, but then your hair won't turn
white in the agonized effort to explain
what it is about a Senator's wife, who
has red hair, freckles, no upper teeth,
O. hair wart on her nose, and q twang
in her shrill voice that makes her 50
bewitchingly beautiful and universally
admired" just be diligent in your
business, and wait in patience for the
reward Of your diligence. It may be q
little slow in coming. The mills of
the gods grind slowly, so does a hand
organ on the ''Last Rose of Summer
stop, but it always gets there. And
don't pay more for the reward than
the rewards worth. A man who lives
on twenty-nine cents day will be apt
to die wealthy, but he won't die very
fat It is the liberal soul that shall be
made fat.--Burdette, IN De,aver Repud-
1tcan.

Utilizing Waste Ground.

Land in this country has been too
cheap, and our people have been too
greedy to get hold of more than they
can use, to have our wastes properly
filled up. Quite often the richest land
on the farm, near the barn or house is
either idle or covered with weeds,
when it might be put to profitable use.
If farmers would occasionally look into
city and village lots they might find
instances of economic ng space that
Would put them to shame. Trellises
for grape vines are built up high close
to houses, and yet far enough to allow
a covered passage way that is most
pleasant at any season, and III the fall
is loaded with rich clusters of fruit.
The poultry-yard even need not be de-
voted entirely to this use. Many have
learned that this is the very best place
to grow plums. Rhubarb may be
placed in some corner near the barn
too rich to grow any thing else. The
various out-buildings may be protitably
covered with treIlises, not to allow
grape vines to fall upoai and ro-
roof, but far enough to receive it's
Elected heat. The farmer who now
sets himself to thinking how he can
best put to use waste places around
his premises will in year or two be
wondering how he ever could have let
so much satisfaction and profit escape
him without noticing its loss.-Sk

night. owe were sinking the shaft
with bucket, and were down over
five hundred feet We had double
compartment shaft, all boarded up.
We used to lower our tinabers one at a
time, and, thinking that it was too
slow, we bored holes in the timbers and
passed chain through and then low
cred several atonce. This plan worked
well until one day. There were six OF
MS at the bottom of the shaft, and
among our number was a tall State OF
Maine man, who had come to earn
money to buy q farm.
"They were lowering y number Of
tixnbers, and we paid no attention to
them; but it seems that they caught
on the side of the shaft, and the cable
unrolled on them until the load was
too heavy, and then down they came,
one after another. ripping and tear
ing down the boarding. We made
ourselves IS small RS we could in
that shaft, three being in it and
three in the other compartment and
we thought the timbers and boards
never would stop coming down.
Not man moved until every thing
was quiet. and then we went to the
other compartment and were pulled up.
1he Maine man never opened his
mouth, but put on his coat and started
off for Maine that night to work on a
&arm.
"But I want to tell you another
sarape I had in that shaft 3 few days
before: I was being lowered on the
bucket, and when about two hundred
feet down it caught on one side and
stuck there. gave an alarm, but was
not heard, and then set about doing the

CARD ETIQUETTE.
How 1t IL Observed by ladies Moving In
Polite Society.

The etiquette Of cards is very
punctiliously observed by ladies in
cities and large towns. A visiting
card should be left in person when in
tended to serve instead of call A
wife should leave cards for her hus-
band with her own when making what
is Familiarity termed "a party call. "
From three to half-past five o'clock are
the fashionable hours for formal calls.
The card now in use is of rather thick
Bristol board, of medium size, with the
name engraved in script. A married
lady's card should be size larger
than her daughter $, and a gentleman's
card should be still smaller.
After an entertainment visiting cards
should be left by all the invited guests,
whether they have accepted the
invitation or not, and this courtesy
should not be delayed over a
week or ten days. If the en-.
tertainment be dinner or lunch, the
call should be made in person. If one
intends to accept an invitation to a
wedding reception, it is not necessary
to reply, becau e the hostess expects to
provide for all whom she has asked;
but if unable to attend, ones visiting
card should be sent, to arrive on the
day of the entertainment. To an after
noon tea or reception, the same rule
applies, but not in any case should the
word regrets be written on the card.
Once it was in very bad taste to send a
card by post, but now the custom is
allowed, although admitted to be FAR
less elegant than the older stvle Of
having footman or messenger leave
it But although it will do to mail :,
card that is to acknowledge ones in
dsbtedness for an Invitation, NO one
must think of mailing q card which il

How They Store Away Their accumu's
tions of the Sweet Fluid.
The honey ant is a small, red insect
extremely demonstrative and active;
and found particularly in Texas and
Mexico, and in considerable numbers
in Colorado. Their nests are proml~
nent mounds in some cases. and again
are low heaps spread over an area OF
twenty or thirty square feet. forming
a community. As rule they are noe
turnal, working atnight though have
seen them at work in the bright sum
light at three o'clock in the afternoon,
and marching in line perhaps seven
feet wide and forty feet in length to q
cottonwood tree, up which they passed
long and slender, coming down larger
and full of pure white liquid. 1t
would strike even casual observer as
curious that these ants were carrying
home liquid that could hardly be
stored away, ants not having, as
rule, store-houses for liquid provisions;
but the honey ant overcomes this dill"
Guilty in a decidedly novel manner.
Certain of the ants, either by agree
ment or selection, are utilized as ne"
ceptacles for the hcney-food supply
and become literally honey-bottles.
They are kept by the others in sepa-
rate apartment, about six inches long
by four in height, that is store-room'
aere, if the nest is carefully
opened, the ants or honey-bottles will
be seen hanging on the wall, look-
ing like ripe currants. The modus
operandi that results i'll this is as fol-
lows: The ants, at least the small ones,
forage for food, and find it in some
cases in what are known as gals, curi-
Gus enlargements of growths, often
seen on trees and formed by the eggs
of an insect having been deposited in
the wood, the latter growing about it
and allowing in some cases an escape
of liquid that is greatly esteemed by
ants and certainly tastes like honey.

the workers proceed to the store-room
where the bottle ants are kept and de-
liver it up to them, the receptacles re-
ceiying so much that they become disc

we have seen, and are incapable OF
movement to any great degree. Their
bodies, upon examination, seem par.
ticularly adapted for the purpose, be-
ing covered in their normal condition
by several plates that spread apart
when the abdomen is extended. How
long these living bottles hold their store
is not known--.undoubtedly Indefinite
~. When the other ants want to draw
their rations they proceed to the dark
chamber, and a supply is forthwith
given up. Such an arrangement seems
to show that ants have much more III.

for, as all their movements can not be
instructive In Colorado their nests
are quite common about the Garden OF
the Gods, and the tunnels that they
form often penetrate considerable dis

arriving at the chamber where the
honey bottles are hung is one OF no lit
