The Habits of Ants.

Sir John Lubbock, in recent address
on the 'sHabits of Ants" said that the
question naturally arose whether ants
We're moral and accountable beings.
They had three desires, their passions
even their caprices. The young were
absolutely helpless. Their communities
were sometimes SO numerous, that, per-
haps, London and Pekin were almost
the only cities which could compare
with them. Moreover, their nests were
no mere collections of independent indi-
vlduals, nor even temporary associations,
like the fiocks OF migrating birds, but
organized communities, laDoring with
the utmost harmony for the public good
The remarkable analogies which to our
human societies they presented in so
many ways rendered them peculiarly in
tereStlng TO US, and one could not
but long to know more of their
character, how the world appeared to
them and to what extent they were con-
sclous and reasonable beings. Various
observers had recorded, in the case of
ants, instances of attachment and affec-
tlon. He had never, in the whole course
OF his observations, noticed a quarrel be-
tween ants belonging to the same nest.
Within the limits of the community all
was harmony. On the other hand. it
must be confessed that ants not belong
ing to the same nest were always enemies.
even if belonging to the same species.
He had invariably found that if strange
ant was introduced into a nest she was
sure to be attacked and driven out. He
had made some experiments on the power
possessed by ants of remembering their
friends, and he had found after a year. s
separation that they did so.

The Uses of Bacteria.

Bacteria were first prominently known
in their relations to diseases of men, ami
mails and plants, and frequently the dis
ease and the bacteria were ono and the
same thing. 1t is now known. however,
that some Of them are to be regarded as
mankind's best friends. The field of
their activity in nature is very great.
Hundreds of different kinds have been
proved by the microscope to have an ex-
istence, comparatively few of which have
the power to cause disease. One
great group, says Professor Crookshank,
produces fermentation, SO that without
them we should have neither beer nor
wine. Another division is the cause of
organic decomposition, among which
must be reckoned the nitrifying bacteria
OF the soil. If it were not for the latter
group every animal that died would be as
indestructible as an Egyptian mummy,
inasmuch as the act of 'mummyfylng'
consisted in keeping away the decom-
posing bacteria. If it were not for the
latter the surface of the earth would be
piled with dead bodies, stacked in heaps
or choking the rivers; not only that, but
in time all the elements capable of build
ing up living bodies would be used up-
locked up in these corpses-and life
would cease for lack of material to sup
port it. The greatest enemies to this
class Of bacteria are the undertakers.

ONE OF LINcoLN's STORIES.
His Speech to the Jury in Answer to ar
Oratorical Lawyer.

Oratorical Lawyer.
The Kansas City Times prints the fol-
lowing story of Abraham Lincoln, told
by Senator Voorhees, in an interview:
Speaking of his numberless stories,
recall one he once told during the argu-
ment in a law suit The lawyer on the
other side was a good deal of glib talker
but not reckoned as deeply profound or
much of thinker. He was rather reck-
less and irresponsible in his speechmak-
jury which happened to enter his head
Lincoln, in his address to the jury, re-
ferring to all these, said: ''My friend
on the other side is all right, or would
be all right were it not for the physico-
mental popularity / am about to chron-
icle. His habit-of which you have
witnessed a very painful specimen in his
argument to you in this case-of reckless
assertions and statements without
grounds, need not be imputed to him as
moral fault or as telling of moral
blemish. He cam help it. For reasons
which, gentlemen of the jury, you and
have not time to study here, as deplor-
able as they are surprising, the oratory
of the gentleman completely suspends all
action OF his mind. The moment he be-
gins to talk his mental operations cease.
/ never knew of but one thing which COM
pared with my friend in this particular.
That was small steam boat. Back in the
days when performed my part as keel
boatmau / made the acquaintance of q
trihing little steamboat which used to
hustle and puff and wheeze about in the
Sangamon river. 1t had a five-foot boiler
and seven-foot whistle, and every time
it whistled it stopped. -

''Hale Method for Painless Filling
1t matters not how the world wags the good
work in DR.. Griswoid's parlors continues from
week TO week with only greater increase OF
patronage to mark the merits CT this mcsb
blessed discovery. Il Is scarcely necessary to
mention this method in Salt Lake any more,
for it has become an established fact in the
minds OF Utahs citizens that DR.. Griswold Is
the only dentist who can save people from the
fortunes Of the dentistry Of old and at the same
time give them the very finest and most perfect
dental work that is to be obtained from men OF
many years study and experience.
Hundreds Of our very best citizens have most
willingly given DR.. Griswold testimonials as to
the efficacy Of his workmanship. which may be
seen at his office by any "doubting Thomases.''

on long enough for some advantage to
be gained by the natives. 1t is remark
able, too, that the plants of eastern
America immigrated westward with man,
and conquered the western plants at first;
but from a consideration of the facts
Professor Asa Gray was led to prophesy
return wave of western plants, and that
is now actually coming. One cause of the
power OF spreading of what are commonly
called weeds is that they are usually
plants with inconspicuous flowers, and
as such are generally self-fertilized, and
SO can get along without specialized in
sects to fertilize them. 1t is manifest that
in new country where the local insect
fauna is being destroyed to some extent,
the plants which have not to depend on
insects for fertilization will be the more
likely to win. And even cross fertilized
plants seem to manage sometimes to find
insects to perform that Office for them.

The Fecundity of Fishes.

In the annual report of the fishery
board of Scotland. it is stated that the
number of eggs OF thirty-nine species
have been estimated. OF all the fishes,
the ling produces the greatest number,
say from twenty to thirty million. The
gurnard produces but few hundred,
that are taken care OF by the male, which
places them in pocket situated near his
abdomen. The cod produces all the way
from two to eight million eggs; the had
dock about two or three hundred thous-
and, and even a million; and the coal
fish from four to eight million. Out OF
sixteen specimens of the herring exam
ined, the mean exceeded thirty thousand.
The turbot is very fecund. 1t produces
from three to ten million eggs.

Ideas of Heaven.

There used to be popular form of tor
ture, in the form of 'sBooks of Cues

drawing room tables, and in which visit
ors were expected to write their defini-

How different, by the way. would be
many definitions of both these condi-
tions? The old womaE's idea of heaven
as place 'swhere she would sit all day
in a clean apron and knit. and sing
hymns would not DO an entirely salts
