WELL DISCIPLINED INSECTS.
Ingenuity and Generalship DISPLAYED In
Wars among Ants.

Ingenuity and Generalship Displayed In
Wars Among Ants.
Ants are well-disciplined insects. Like
the bees, to which they are allied, they are
industrious, but, unlike the bees, they di-
vide more methodioslly and equally the
work to be done. In the case of bees some
act as sentinels, some attend on the queen,
Others collect honey, and so on, but whether
each bee is kept to the same duty through
out life, or whether they are promoted from
one post to another, natura1ists have not
yet been able to tell us. With ants, how
ever, the workers are specially divided into
several classes. The civil portion and the
military sections each do their work with
out interfering with each other in the least.
The military ants are again subdivided
into officers and rank and file, and when
they march out the officers place themselves
at the side of the column and not in the
ranks. In this way the officers are able to
stop stragglers, and by means of commu-
nication one with the other to know the
commands of the general officer all through
the line.
Tropical ants are even superior to Amer
ican ants in their mode of warfare, and have
reached point of military perfection that
is absolutely startling. Men are obliged to
depend upon varieties of uniform to distin-
guish their officers, but the ants have a
much more natural method of recognition.
The higher the rank in the army the big
ger the head of the ant-the heads of some
Of the highest officers being bigger than the
whole body OF a private. 1t is, however,
only the females who do the fghting-for
the ants are nation of Amazons, and the
males are of no more account in the COM
munity than the bridegroom at a wedding.
War among ants are chiefly conducted for
the purpose of capturing slaves, and the
ingenuity and generalship displayed in
slave-stealing forays are truly remarkable.

cast over the castle walls into the sea. The

reply,
''What becomes of them?"
"Dios Sabep'
''Are they ever released, or do they die

'.Dios Sabep'
"what becomes of their bodies in case
they are shot or die?"
NOTHING BUT SOLDIERS.
"Dios Sabe!''-and this monotonous but
significant echo to all questions was prob
ably the solemn truth, for the officers and
soldiers doing guard duty are often changed,
and their, experience and observation of
Spanish military discipline encourages
them to be extremely silent about what they
do know. Heaven alone holds the full
knowledge of the iniquities that have taken
place in Morro Castle, of the fate of the
hundreds of unfortunates who encountered
a law directed only through the agents of
military despotism.
There are more soldiers than ANYTHING
else in Cuba. You cannot walk a block
without meeting man in uniform, and
the crows at the cafes, and the theaters are
sprinkled profusely with the curious but
cool blue linen suits the soldiers wear.
They swarm in all the public places and
although they receive very little pay, and
often none, the most OF them appear to
have enough money to buy the cooling
drinks which taste so we'll in this climate
Every stranger is regarded with the utmost
suspicion until his character and the object
of his visit are made known. No vessel is
to land passenger until the purser pro-
duces passport for every man on board,
and the passport must bear the Endorsement
OF the Spanish Consul at the port from
which the vessel sailed. These documents
are taken in charge by the police authori-
ties, and when one wants to leave the
island he must 60 to the Superintendent, re-
cover his passport and secure release be-

ATTACKING THE BALLET.
DR.. Howard Crosby Says Women Must bt
Banished From the Stage.

DR.. Howard Crosby Says Women Must be
Banished From the Stage.
The difficulty that occurs in treating of
the theater arises from the confounding of
the theoretical theater and the actual the
ater.
We can readily imagine chaste and in
Structive play, performed by actors of high
moral character, but in fact we do not find
this article. We find almost every play an
attack on purity, suggestive of lascivious
thought or exhibiting breaches of the mari
tai relation. And we find the mass of actors
and actresses to be of bad repute in this very
department of sin. The few who are not are
so few as to make the fact only more con-
spicuous. The pictures that are placed
around the streets inviting the people to the
theater are disgusting in their lIcentious
semi-nudityS The ballet is a disgraceful
adjunct to the theater, tending to the same
fostering of impurity. In short, the stage
of to-day ia q nursery of lewdness, and the
idea of moral or intellectual improvement
from it is burlesque. Prominent actors
and actresses, feted by the rich and ad-
mitted into the theater-going society, are
found living in open adultery, and the the
ater people think nothing Of these fearful
ellis. 4u1b 4edbuT0 OI the JneaIer is uOb cA-
ceptional. 1t is the feature of the theater
everywhere to-day. Impurity is its stamp.
The class of low houses and low characters
that always cluster around theater is
clear sign of its immoral atmosphere.
A LAMENTABLE FAILURE.
The attempts to purify the theater have
been lamentable failures, and the reason is
that the theater must depend for its support
on the patronage of the multitude, and their
demand is for pabulum to the evil passions.
The managers must yield to this demand.
II the object was to do good (the object
which an institution of morals would have)
then this necessity would be done away, but
the object is not to do good, but to make
money by delighting the people.
The only time the stage was pure was in
Athens before Aristophanes disgraced it.
For half century Eschylus, Sophocles
and Euripides wrote for pure stage, not to
make money, but to educate the people.
In that pure period no woman was allowed
to act But when the stage became lascivi-
Gus, then women appeared upon it, and
every form VI lewdness was propagated by
this teacher of morals.
The very first action toward a pure theater
must be the Punishment of women from the
stage, and that would drive nine-Ienths of
the theater-goers from the theater, and to
render the business Improbable, pecuni-
arily.
The theater, in my estimation, is an in
durable ulcer. HOWARD CROSBY.

x Tale Of a Century Ago.
WRITTEN FOE THE DISPATCH
BY EDWARD EVERETT HALE

Iurcb, as he deserved, had passed through
her mind.
s'To tell YOU the truth, /" said she, 'if
could have mortified yeu without notifying
myself should have done 50, and would
have done so gladly. But In the FIRST place
I wanted to dance. I wanted to see the girls
and wanted to be in Ipswich. did not
choose to give up the party because my man
at the stable was late in sending around my
horses That was the way in which. I
finally put It in my mind But you have
no right to expose me or any other girl to
such modification. You have been careless
enough BEFORE and somehow, in some way,
we will see that you are rightly punished.
You must not expect to find me with, my
muf on nay hands whenever you choose to
whistle"
The young fellow deserved q great deal
worse scoIding than this And to tell the
truth, bit by bit, hehad his share that night
of seedlings much worse than this. But tho
foundation was thus laid for the whola
evening, in which he was taught a hundred
times that he was on his good behavior,
that he must repent and reform. The
truth was that he was the. spoiled child CT
Salem, everybody knew him and everybody
liked him; and he went and came as a sort
of Alcibiades, doing very much as he eheses
and suppOslng that hls omissions would 0a
atoned on the ground of his general publiG
spirit and infallible good nature.
Among other good things which he had
picked out for his own had been the com.
panionship Of Sarah Paris on any such oc.
casion as this sleighing party. She was the
fayorite of everybody, and well deserved to
be. She was pretty, graceful, good-natured
and sufficiently well-informed. In the SIM
pie society of Salem at that time she was
leader as he was a leader. If Sarah Paris
and Harry Gurwen determined that thus
and so should be done, in the range Of
things which came into the life of the young
people of Salem, that thing was done. This
was as sure as the rising Of the sun
Naturally he conferred with her and she
with him; naturally she called him Harry
and he called her Sarah; naturally he
waited for her when the dance was over at

CHAPTER I.

SALEM GIRLS A CENTURY AGO.
"Good-by," said Jane, as she opened the
front door.
"Good-by," said Sarah, as she stood in
the hall. "shall see you tomorrow"
"Why, yes" said Jane, 81 shall see you
tomorrow at Ipswich, if not before %
"Ipswich?" said Sarah, "what is Ips-
wich?"
"I mean sleigh ride, you goose. You do
not mean that you are 50 interested In your
Cowper and your Adam Smith and your
>other stuff, that you have forgotten the
sleigh ride? Be sure you wear your best
bib and tucker. Good-by."
"Good-by," said Sarah, and Jane closed
the door and went on her way. Sarah re-
turned into the house.
No. she had not forgotten the sleigh ride,
for the simple reason that she had never
heard Of it. And now it seemed that all
She girls in Salem knew that there was to
be sleigh ride, and she did not know.
That was not very satisfactory to girl who
had right to consider herself one Of the
best loved and most esteemed of the Salem
girls-ths general fsvorite, who had no
enemy. At the very bottom of her heart,
of course, Sarah Paris knew why she had
not heard of the sleigh ride. She knew
perfectly well, at the very bottom of her
heart, that the young men had had a talk
after the party at the Norrises, and had
agreed that, if the sleighing lasted, there
should be ride to Ipswich and q dance
there. This she knew "of native impulse,
elemental force;" she constructed It from
the law of the instrument, the moment she
knew that there was to be sleigh ride. In
the same way she also knew, at the very
bottom Of her heart, that Harry Curwen
had saidto the other young men, in his of
hand, dictatorial way, 81 shall ask Sarah
Paris, and you can ask whom you like"

ANCIENT EGYPTIAN RACES.
Prof. VIrchow Dispels n Generally Believed
Illusion In Regard to These People.

Prof. Virchow has recently given us in
the proceedings of tie Royal Geographical
Society an important memoir on the ancient
races of Egypt, His inquiries are of great
value, as they serve to show in what appears
to be conclusive manner something con-
cerning the racial characters of the people
who constructed the marvellous civilization
of the ancient empire. He has overthrown
the old view that the Egyptians in tbs time
of Menes were identical in race with the
people of the present day. 1t was long sup
posed by those who followed Lepsius that
the southern part of the Egyptian folk,
people who evidently had large share in
the development of that civilization, were
negroes of the ordinary African type.
Virchow has show this not to be the case,
The Nubians or Berbers are by the char
acter of their skin, the nature of their hair
and the form of the skull akin to the north
ern people of the Bedouin race, and not to
the Southern Africans. The Interesting
part ofVirchrow's work relates to the change
of color which comes over the Northern peo-
pie from a long residence IN Southern
climate. He asserts that Greeks whose
grandparents were born in the North acquire
the same general look as the people in the
biblical land of Kush. The Egyptians of
to-day appear to be closely related to the
natives of Morocco and the Canary isles.

York and Paris, and noticed the size
of the diamonds suspended from the
ears of their wives. The recent dispute
over the property and the will of the late
Mr.. Terry, has revived social interest in the
subject, and the wealth and profits of the
sugar planters have been the theme of much
conversation. But the first and instantan-
eous impression one receives from visit to
the agricultural districts, is that farming in
Cuba does not pay. At least, if there is
any money in it, none is ever expended in
keeping up appearances, or providing the
comforts and luxuries one expects to see.
The rule of life is to accept what nature
has provided, with no endeavor to improve
or ADAPT it to the wants of men. The fruits
OF the garden are eaten raw, and everything
that adds an atom to the cares or tolls of
life is dispensed with. There is not sus-
pioion of home or a symptom of comfort on
Cuban plantations. The farm house, with
its palm leaf roof and earthen floor, is not so
good or so comfortable as the dugout, which
preceded the shanty and the tent upon the
plains of Kansas, but it has been occupied

SWINDLING GREEN FARMERS.
Sharp Trick That is Being Played In
Bucks County,

Philadelphia Record.1--
Many uususpecting farmers in Bucks and
Huntingdon counties have been swindled
out of hundreds of dollars recently by a
clever scheme, worked bya gang of gentle
manly appearing sharpers. One of the
gang drives up to farmers house and re-
quests permission to store in the barn
number of pitchforks of an inferior quail
ty. Permission being granted, the farmer
is told that the forks comprise the last of
large consignment, and will be sold at very
low figures in order to close a transaction
A tempting offer is then made of 30 per
cent commission to the farmer upon any
sales made while the forks are temporarily
in his charge, and long agreement most
of which is in fine print, and alleged to be
only stipulation as to commission, is in
most cases then signed BY the tempted tiller
of the soil, who neglects to read the paper
carefully, and learns, when too late, that
he has contracted to buy the worthless forks
at an exorbitant figure,
