Not q Nourishing Diet.

An old Scotch servant attached to
the household of the famous British
logician, Sir William Hamilton, was as
proud of his masters fame as if it had
been his own, and, having picked up a
few of Sir Williams technical words
and phrases, brought them into play on
every possible occasion.
One day a gentleman who was fond
of drawing out old John for the amuse-
ment of the company said to him, with
an engaging air:
81 suppose, John, now that you've
lived SO long with such great reasoner
as Sir William, you are quite able to
conduct an argument YOURSELF
"Weel, Wilma say sac muckle as
that replied the old Scotchman, with
the modesty of true genius, "but if ]
Gamma conduct an Argument, I'm think
in l could draw an inference.
Gould you? Let us see, then? There's
an Eastern proverb, you know, about
the wild ass snufdng up the east wind.
Now what inference would you draw
from thatY'
For moment old John looked non
plussed, as well he might, and then a
CLEAN of sly humor twinkled in the cor
ner of his dark gray eye, and he an
swered, with grim chuckle:
"Aweel, the inference that ! wad
draw from that wad be that he might
snuff lang time before he grew fat!"-

Good Fellowship Among Ants and Bees.

Good Fellowship Among Ants and Bees.
Never among mankind can we find so
absolute and complete an absorption of
the individual by the social group as in
the cities of ants and bees, where indi-
vidual property has never, it seems,
been imagined. In these republics what
one citizeness has for herself belongs to
the others. Does a hungry bee meet
one laden with booty returning to a
city, she lightly taps her on the head
with her antenn@ and instantly the
latter hastens in sisterly way to dis
gorge part of the nutriment provision
ally stored in her own stomach.
Ants proceed in the same way as bees,
but in addition the ant thus sustained is
very careful to show her gratitude.
"The ant who feels the need of food"
says Huber, "begins by tapping her two
antenn8, with very rapid movement,
upon the antenn@ of the ant from whom
she expects succor. Immediately they
may be seen approaching one another
with open mouth and extended tongue
for the communication of the liquid
which one passes to the other. During
this operation the ant who receives nour-
ishment does not cease to caress the
friend who is feeding her, continuing to
move her antennB with singular &C
tivity. Property; Its Orig u and De-
velopment."

The Washington Hay Scales.

To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
II our Sandy Springs friends did fail to get
Congress to appropriate e2OO, 900 to build a
market house for the country people on the
hay market lot or what is called the wholesale
market grounds, the hay scales have changed
hands and the price for weighing has been re-
duced from so to IS cents load Mr. E. b.
Grain, the purchaser of the scales is an honor
able, highly esteemed man, who will do right
with every one, the seller as well as the buyer.
Being brought up on farm, he will be polite
and accommodating to farmers as well as to the
city people. Now if the market company would
build a shed along the B street side of the lot
with two rows Of stalls and a ware room. where
persons could store things for the night or
when the market was dull until the next
market for a small sum, it would be much bet
ter for the farmers than If Congress had built
e200 900 market house with 90 many high
sslaried officers, which the bill provided that
the farmers should pay. The charges would
have been 80 much that farmers could not have
taken their produce there for sale. Now he
can 60 there. sell his stuff and all he has to pay
IL IS cents il he weighs his load, and if he
wants to stay all night he can leave his wagon
and team in the yard, the gates are locked up
and Waterman to sec that every thing 10 safe,
and he only pays for the use Of the stalls for
his horses il he stables them in the stable where
he can feed and attend to them, which makes it
very convenient and cheap.
