REMARKABLE ANTs.-A cook was
much annoyed to find his pastry
shelves attacked by ants. BY careful
watching it was discovered that they
came twice day in search offood-at
about seven in the morning and four
in the afternoon. How were the pies
to be protected against the invaders?
The cook decided to make a circuit
around the pies with molasses and
await the result. He did not have long
to wait, for at $50 he noticed that oil,
in the left corner of the pantry was a
line of ants slowly making their way in
the direction of the pies.
They seemed like vast army COM
ing forth to attack the enemy. In
front was a leader, who always kept @ lit
tie ahead of his troops. They were of the
sort known as the medium-sized red
ant, which is regarded as the most in
telligent of its kind whose scientific
name is fOrmica rubra.
About forty ants out of five hundred
stepped out and joined the leader.
The general and his aids held coun-
Gil, and then proceeded to examine the
circle of molasses. Certain portions
seemed to be assigned to the different
ants, and each selected unerringly the
point in the section under his charge
where the stream of molasses was mar
rowest. Then the leader made his tour
of inspection. The order to march
was given, and the ants made their
way to hole in the wall, at which the
plastering was loose.
Here they broke ranks and set about
carrying pieces of plaster to the places
in the molases which had been agreed
upon as the narrowest. To and fro
thew went from the nail-hole to the
moiasses, until at 11:20 o'clock, they
had thrown a bridge across. Then
they formed themselves in line again
and marched over, and by 1;45 every
ant was eating pie.-TOIedO Blade.

Where Arc We At?

"Where are we at" was the subject
of d. J. Williamson's discourse to about
$50 persons in the open air at the cor
ner of Fulton street and De Kalb ave-
nue., Brooklyn, at o'clock Sunday af-
ternoon. He is an elderly man with
full, gray whiskers. First a hymn was
sung by two companions, one a gray
haired woman, and the other a short,
Stout man with bushy black mus
tache. Then Mr.. Williamson extend
ed his hands and asked blessing on
the crowd that had by this time gath
cred about him. He kept q big seal
skin cap pulled down over his ears.
"Where are we at" said he, ''is
question we well may ask, for the
Word of God is about to be fulfilled
and this earth consumed with cverlast-
ing fire. Even now while | speak the
clock is striking the hour of 10 in the
day of the Christian dispeasation. 1t
will strike II in Il few weeks, and
about the 10th of June the midnight
hour will strike, and then will come
the end of this world and the era of
thousand years of peace"
AS he said this he pulled out u big
roll of manuscript. Then the woman
who had sung leaned forward with an
anxious look as if she feared to miss
single word that fell from the lips of
the latter day prophet. The short,
stout man folded his arms and tried to
look resigned to the terrible fate await
ing the onlookers who stood about with
smiling faces.
God, or no God" said the speaker, the
prophecies of the good old book are about to
become true, and unless you accept It's teach
ings at once and repent of your sin you will
be melted after the 10th Of June. Beware,
my hearers. Hardly two months are left for
preparation for that awful June 10th, when
creed and sccts will 90 to the dogs, and you
along with them. unless you believe in the
law.
You may laugh at inc, but the antcdilu-
vians laughed at Noah. We stand now just
AS those antediluvians did in the day of
Noah's preaching. Those who believed and
entered into the ark were saved and those
who did not were drowned. Now / offer you
the ark of safety from the flood of fire which
will sweep over New York and Brooklyn i'll
June"
After he had finished reading his discourse
Mr. Williamson shook the folded manuscript
at the crowd and asked if there was any one
there who would get that printed for him.
No Que volunteered to do 80, and he passed
around his sealskin cap for contributions to
fund to pay for the publication and dstribu-
tion of his discourse. The only contributor
was ragged newsboy, who seemed very
much affected by the discourse, and dropped
in two cents. The short, stout singer said
all that he had was religion and the woman
singer refused to look in the cap when it
reached her. She was intent on reading
from small testament which she held in her
hand.
Mr. Williamson says he is from Hartford,
where he had 4 good meat aud grocery bust
ness which he gave up to come aud warn New
York and Brooklyn of the wrath to come.

Natures Bank.

The fact was disclosed by the census
taken a few weeks ago that the
mortgage Indebtedness of the Southern
States, both per capita and based on
the rates of assessments, was less than
in any other section of the country.
This. being the state of affairs, it is
no surprise that the present crisis has
left the South uninjured and it is to-
day in a far better condition to re-
spond to the revival than at any time
in its history.
Within the next 90 days, mother
earth, that bank which never fails to
pay its drafts in the Southern States,
will yield in cotton, cereals, grasses
and fruits production that in round
numbers is worth 1000, 100000. To
this can be added the value of the
fruit crop of the South, which is not
far from SIS 100000.
The crops this year are in fine con-
dition and the yield will be greater
than in 1892.
With this stupenduous draft from
natures storehouse by the treasury OF
South, every dollar of which will find
a market before the end of the year,
who can doubt the speedy return of
prosperity to this section?-Chattanoga

What Will Congress Do2
-1Leaksville GaZette.I

Some of our contemporaries an
ticipate a diversity of sentiment and
much wrangling by members when
Congress meets to adjust the none
tary difficulties of the country. We
take it for granted that Senators and
Congressman are intelligent men and
are as patriotic as any of their critics
can be; therefore it is simply absurd
to borrow trouble on their account.
Besides, it is not patriotic to discourage
hope by predicting harder times and
general disaster when there is no
reason for such prediction. Congress
has been called together in extra
session for the sole purpose of devising
measures for the relief of the people
and the betterment. of the financial
condition Of the country; and to
question the results Of the extra
session is to disparage the honesty and
the intelligence of our best and ablest
representative men. There is neither
pleasure nor profit in dwelling upon
the darkest side of ary picture; bu1
when morbid apprehensions are entirely
groundless it is almost crime agains
good citizenship to tear the rainbow
of hope from the vision of the people
aud flaunt the black banner of despair
in its place.

HOGS THE SOUTH.

1t is safe to assume that the present
high prices of pork will continue for a
long time. The hog product in the
west is not keeping pace with our
population, and the demand from
Europe and from South America is
increasing.
The southern farmers who have been
holding their hogs until they are two
years old have been losing money on
them. In the west hogs are slaughtered
when they are nine months old, and
there is really no reason why they
should be allowed to consume food
and be dead expense for year or SO
longer.
Long before the war and during
that period the South raised all the
pork that she needed and she can do
it again, and have a surplus tor the
market.
At time when the matter of diver
sifed crops and industries is attract
ing so much attention, and when our
best minds are devising ways and
means to increase our output and
reduce our purchases, it will profit US
to study the pork problem. We can
raise more hogs without neglecting a
single industry, and the ruling price
of bacon makes it plain that it will be
money in our pockets to produce our
home supply, even if we do not have
a surplus to sell. By adopting the
western method Of killing hogs before
they are year old it will be an easy
matter to have enough pork for our
own use and a surplus to sell.-Atlanta

Fine North Carolina Land.

North Cardinals sandy and black
soils are said to be the finest in the
world for raising bulbs, hyacinths,

land there is as productive as the

France, and yet we import bulbs by
the hundreds OF thousands.

From the Louisville Courier-Journal. j
The whole idea OF essential differ
ences among the people of the United
States is false, born of provincial pre-
judice and lack of travel. We are the
most homogeneous people on earth.
Such differences as do exist are purely
local and eternal. 1t takes but six
days and change of raiment to con-
verta typical Vermonter into typical
Texan, and two South Carolina law
yers, aided by six Massachusetts, detec-
tives could not tell the difference be-
tween the Algonquin Club in Boston
and the Palmetto Club in Charleston,
particularly after II O'Clock p. M, to
save their souls from perdition.
