Uses of Ants.

Ants are terrible fighters. They have
very powerful jaws, considering the size
of their bodies, and therefore Their
method of fighting is by biting. They
will bite one another and hold on with
a wonderful grip of the jaws, even afte,
their legs have been bitten off by other
ants. Sometimes six or eight ants will
be clinging with death grip to one an
other, making a peculiar spectacle, some
with a leg gone, and some with half the
body gone. One singularfact is that the
grip of an ants jaw is retained even
after the body has been bitten off and
nothing but the head remains. This
knowledge is possessed by a certain tribe
of Indians in Brazil, South America,
who put the ants to a very peculiar use.
When an Indian gets cash cut in his
hand, instead of having his hand sewed
together as the physicians do in this
country, he procures five or six large
black ants, and, holding their heads near
the cash, they bring their jaws together
in biting the flesh, and thus pull the two
sides of the cash together. Then the
Indian pinches off the bodies of the ants,
and leaves their heads clinging to the
flesh, which is held together until the
cash is perfectly healed.-Interview in
st. Louis Globe-Democrat.

The kentucky Idea.

Lamentable, indeed, is the affair that
cost the life of ex-Congressman Taulbee,
q man in the prime of life and manly
power. Mr.. Taulbee had the strongest
voice ever heard III the United States
house of representatives, one that could
be distinguished above the roar of any
confusion. His character was like his
voice-full of force-and, like any other
man of that stamp, he made enemies.
But certainly he nes or did or said any
thing that in a civilized community
should have cost him his life. He fell a
victim to the notion that abusive Ian
guage applied by one gentleman to an
other must be atoned for with blood.
Nowhere does this idea prevail as in
Kentucky, where for some inscrutable
reason Providence permitted it to take
root. 1t has taken from that state some
of its noblest sons in times past. Not
many months ago Coils. Swope and
Goodloe killed each other in one of these
deadly personal encounters that arose
from words, words, nothing but words.
No word that can be spoken is bad
enough to send the soul of him using it
into eternity. The taking of human life
is under no circumstances justifiable, ex-
cept to save ones own. 1t will not be a
pleasant thing in years to come for the
young man who killed Mr.. Taulbee to
wake alone in the night and recall that
his hand cut off human life in its
flower deliberately and purposely.
The time viii come when men will I'M
derstand such killings as this are a NOR
tai crime and blot ON civilization.

CONGRESSIONAL D0INGS.
THE SENATE.

WASHINGTON, March 1l.--Mr. Hoar
called up the resolution for the exclusion
from The Record of the sentences inter-
polated by Mr.. Call in the report of his
remarks in the discussion with Mr..
Chandler few weeks ago. An interest
ing debate ON the resolution ensued;
participated in by Senators George, Hoar,
Eustis, Edmunds and Daniel.
During the course of the debate Sena-
tor Edmunds used an expression which
Senator Daniel, of Virginia, construed
to impute the crime of murder to Sena-
tor Eustis, of Louisiana. Senator Daniel
demanded that the words of Senator
Edmunds be taken down, The proceed
ings were then suspended to allow the
stenographer to write out the objection
able words. They were read and it de-
veloped that Mr.. Edmunds was stating
hypothetical case, and not making an
allegation of fact. Mr.. Daniel thereupon
withdrew his objection and debate en-
sued. A vote was taken on the resolu-
quorum. Messrs Gray, Pugh, Turpie
and Vance, Democrats, voted in the af-
firmative.
Without disposing of the matter the
senate, at $50 p. m, adjourned.

agreed to, so the concurrent resolution
has passed both houses.
The senate then proceeded to vote on

Move ON. Mr.. LO.

For 200 years the American Indian has
been, like poor 10, moving on. Beginning
with the Atlantic coast, the white man
has showed him westward till there is
now no longer any west for him to go to.
His means of supporting himself in bar
barism have been taken away from him
and he has not been taught to work for
his living like the white man. What are
we going to do with him? =.
At the Turtle Mountain reservation in
North Dakota there are 1880 Indians in
a starving condition. The government
promised to support them, and has not
done so, owing TO misunderstanding it
is said. There is also a miserable drag
gled remnant of the Utes in Colorado.
They were cajoled into going there in
1880. Now the encroaching white settlers
want the ground they are on. Result:
Indian must go.
We are told that after laboring with
them for months, and using all the ar
guments a strong and crafty race can
employ with weak one, our commits
sioners have at last induced the Ute
chiefs to sign an agreement to goto Utah.
But nobody wants them in Utah. In
less than years time we shall hear the
old story-the Indians are lazy, dirty,
thievish and menace to the white mans
civilization. Again they must go. But
in a year or two more there will be abso-
lutely not corner of this Union untaken
by white people.
The most merciful thing the govern
ment could do with its Indian wards
would probably be to take them out
somewhere and shoot them quietly, with
out making any scandal about it. Either
that or the government must do what it
should have done century ago: take
the red man in hand and force him to
educate himself and earn his own living.
There is not white man who walks that
would not become lazy and shiftless,
likewise vagabondish, If all his wants
were provided for without the necessity

The Amazonian regiments of the king
of Dahomey have evidently made pro-
found impression on the French troops
sent against them. They are described
as being fierce and desperate fighters,
most of them vowed to celibacy by COM
mand of the king, and condemned to
death if they break their VOWS. The
king of Dahomey has 1900 to 5000 of
these fierce women fighters. They got
in their work in the recent difficulty
with France to such purpose that the
French agent requests that 1900 addi-
tional troops be sent to his post on the
slave coast, and that no further attempt
be made to conquer Dahomey.

Is He a Poet of Passion {?

Our own brave and gifted John Boyle
O'Reilly, soldier, poet and champion ath-
lete-is he at his age becoming a mascu-
line poetess of passion? Hear him sing
in The Boston Pilot in a poem called
Waiting
He is coming. he is coming in my throbbing
breast feel it;
There Is music in my blood, and it whispers all
day long
That my love unknown comes towards me! All,
my heart he need not steal it,
For cannot hide the secret that it murmurs in
its song.
He says in the third stanza:
"IIe Is coming" says my heart; may raise my
eyes and greet him;
may meet him any moment-shall l know him
when l SIZE:
And my heart lushs back the answer-I can tell
him when meet him.
For our eyes will kiss and mingle ere he speaks
word to me-
But even that is not all. There is worse
and more of it. Our old original poetess
of passion, now reformed and q popular
writer of conservative prose morality,
could not have done much worse in her
maddest days.
Perhaps it is the influence of the spring
weather on John Boyles poet tempera-
ment, stirring the blood and making his
fancy dance a wild polka in his brain.
But in any case a violent phase that
takes possession of a person in mature
years is far harder to cure than when he
has it young. John Boyle O'Reilly, bet
ter confine yourself to manly sports and
the Irish question. There is no measur-
ing the mischief you may do as full
blown poet of passion.
