can hardly be said that the new speaker
fairly represents the Democracy. But
in one feature he is Democrat of Demo-

a unit. For example, like his party he
stands for policy that would not only
lower the laborer's wages, but that
would pay them in a deprecated cur

issues OF 1892 beyond possibility of
change. With Crisp in the chair and

1t has long been the custom in all the

TAKING CARE WATCH.

There is no other personal belonging
to which good care is more necessary
than watch, and hardly any other that
is more recklessly ill-used. The babe
plays with it, the housewife lays sticky
fingers upon it; it is left open at night
for convenience, or subjected to altera-
tions of heat and cold by being hung
against the chimney hue. There is the
highest authority for saying that the
best pl ice for watch is in its owners
pocket. The pocket should be clean
one, and the watch be further protected
by chamois bag. 1t should be wound
up with even, steady motion-nOt too
FIST or too slow-and as near as possible
at the same hour of the day. Morning is
the best time for it, and if it is done
while the watch has still an hour or two
to run there will be much less wear and
tear of the handspring. In fact, para
doxical as it sounds, watch will wear
out twice as soon by running one day in
ten as it would if kept going all the
time.
Let it be fiat as little as possible.
When not in the pocket keep it hanging
by its ring in case of some soft, thick
stuff, preferably of wool or silk Never
leave the case open the night through.
l you need to do it for even an hour, be
careful to wipe the dust from the crystal
before closing it. No case ever yet made
dust proof. If such were possible the
watch mender's occupation will be well
nigh gone, since it is the dust sitting in
that not merely clogs the wheels and
turns the oil on the pivots to gum, but
acts as energy would. and wears away
the works until they utterly fail to keep
time.
Avoid jarring your watch, under pain
of having it stop, until 1t grows worth
less as timepiecc. Do not pin your
faith too closely on its accuracy either.
With the very best of movements varia-
tons will sometimes occur. Heat, cold,
motion, vibration, location, any or all
may make your watch fast or slow. One
reason that ladies' watches are ususally
such bad timekeepers is that they are 80

The new President of Chilli is in
situation that appears singular to Ameri-
cans. He will not be Inaugurated until
the day after Christmas, and yet he is APP
parently in the full exercise of Presiden-
tial authority. While it is true that this
81 uation is the outcome of the recent
successful revolution, it has another and
distinct Significance. 1t conveys strong
ly the impression that Inauguration will
be matter of form, and that the Presi-
dent-elect is chief OF State 10y force of his
triumphant army and navy, and not by
any genuine exercise of popular suffrage.

merry, glad greeting, and there seated

small shapely head outlined against the

bushes sweeping over her face. Some
thing evidently was the matter with
jamie, for the 1.-THE, brown hands that
usually were swiftest of all at the work,
trembled provokingly as she tore the
yellow husks away, with the soft eye
lashes resting against her warm, flushed
cheeks.
Such laugh as arose when jamie, of
all others, found the first red ear, but
the girl herself grew strangely pale for
an instant; then with a bound she flew
as heetly as a deer round and round the
room, in and out among the workers.
One by one the pursuers all dropped out
of the race except Harrison and Adolf
plus. The people knew pretty well the
state of affairs between the three, and
watched with breathless interest the re-
suit of the race, which seemed to them
significant and prophetic.
The girls steps grew slower, and at
length, finding herself in a corner where
there was no escape, she caught at one
of the festoons and half climbed, half
drew herself up to the top of the great
corn heap, where she poised, turned and
faced them like a frightened bird in
snare. Adolphus would have dashed up
after her, but Harrison put his big,
brown hand commandingly on the

she couldn't live without him; of course
she was to be his wife some day; of
course she belonged to him-hadn't he
always said so, even by the kittens

stood on gave great slide, and, without
any effort of her own. she was in his
arms, and everybody was cheering and
shouting in the place. And right in the
midst of it all didn't Harrison say with
a triumphant CLEAN in his flashing eyes:

and the dancing was to begin.
The stranger disappeared, and no one
could find him at the supper, but when
the long lines of the Virginia reel had
formed, he mounted the quickly i'm
provised platform, took Harrisons violin,

our people had never heard before, and
watched jamie trip down the center with

A READY-MADE HOUSE.

Wherein the Ants Find Food and Lodging
All Prepared.
Travellers tell us that it is not un-
common in the tropics to see a double
line of ants stretching from their hill
across and open space and up some tree
trunk One-half the ants are toiling
homeward under heavy burdens of leaf
fragments, the other half are hurrying
toward the source of supply.
The ants make two-fold use of the
they use the harder, woody parts, the
veins and stalks, as the supporting
columns of their hills. From such
systematic labor more or less complete
defoliation of the tree results. Against
these marauders, therefore, some de-
fense must be provided, and to this end
certain plants are furnished with the
means to attract, to hold, and to impel
the honey-eating ants to fight for them.
In tropical America there grows the
tall somewhat palm-lille tree, called
by the natives the i'm bauba, and known
to botanists as cecropia adenopus. 1t
is rather slender; its hollow stem,
divided like the bamboo into chambers
leaves, which are very attractive to
caterpillarS and to leaf-cutting ants.
The contour of the hollow stem is
smooth and even, except that just
below each point in the outer surface
of the stem there is depression which
corresponds with similar depression
on the inner surface. A thin place is
thus formed; so each chamber is sepa-
rated from the outside world by wall
that is thin only in one spot. Through
the thin place friendly ants bore readily
and soon find themselves in cavity of
considerable size. Within this chamber
they establish colony The house
grows with the number of it's occupants,
so that the whole colony is never
obliged to seek larger quarters, In this
way perfect shelter, easy of access, is
provided ready made for the ants.
The imbauba furnishes food as well
as lodgings to these ants At the bases
of the leaf stalks, amid clusters of hairs,
are formed many small, egged-shaped,
albuminous bodies. These are the solid
food of the ants. Upon various parts of
the tree are glands which secrete nectar
All ants are eXtravagantly fond OF
honey, and they will get it wherever
they can. Flowers are the commonest
source of nectar, but its purpose in them
is to attract the bees butterflies, and
even birds which transfer the pollen to
the pistils, and so fertilize them. Ants
cannot fertilize most flowers, so their
taking the nectar would be mere rob
berry. The floral nectaries must there.
fore be protected. This protection is
effected by the feeling nectaries being
situated between the flowers and the
tree trunk, The ants get enough honey
from these extra floral nectaries to
make them willing to let the Others

portion the building. The siding is OF
seasoned oak and pine lumber.
The dotted lines in the diagram are
movable partitions, used only to divide
the interior into stalls for sows at far
rowing time, and are held in place by
mailing Stats to the sides of the build
ing, and the boards of the partition
can be dropped into those or lifted out
conveniently, The building fronts to
the south and the partitions extend
north and south, so that we receive the
benefit of some sunshine through the
front openings without exposing the
hogs or pigs to chilling drafts.
Troughs Ia feet long extend along two
sides of the feeding floor, they are
made of 2-inch plank and are square
bottomed: use u l0-inch wide plank for
bottom and s-inch for sides. When
the pen is used for brood sows these
troughs may be used, if partitions are
