 Mir. Wilson's physician strongly urged him to remain quiet for a few days, but he declared that the sooner he was in a warm climate the sooner he would recover, and he continued on hls journey to Mexs"e

ANTS IN FLORIDA.
The Vast Damage Which These Enemies
of the Farmer Can Do.

The Vast Damage Which These Enemies
of the Farmer Can Do.
There are more ants to the square
mile in Florida than in any other coun-
try in the world. says the Savannah
News. There are ants which will
measure more than half an inch in
length, and then there are ants so
small that they can hardly be seen to
move with the unaided eye. There are
red ants and black ants and trouble
some ants. But as bad as they are, 1
have never heard of them eating out
the seat of n mans trousers, as a mis-
sionary Rev. Mr.. Wilson, once told the
writer he saw the army ants do in
India while the man was sitting on the
earth for few minutes beside him.
But the Florida ants will take out
the lettuce and other minute seeds
from the soil in which they are planted
and actually destroy the beds. They
will suck the life out of acres of young
cucumbers and melon plants, uproot
strawberry plants or cover the buds
with earth to such an extent as to kill
them. They will get into pie, pickle,
sauce, sirup, sugar; on meat, in hash:
will riddle a cake or fill loaf OF
bakers bread till it is worthless. All
remedies failing, 1 took to batting them
near their nests with slices of meat,
bones, apple and pear parings, and
when had from fifty to one hundred
thousand out would turn a kettle OF
boiling water on them. 1 have killed
during the past week over a million in
the space of a quarter acre lot, and I
have almost wiped them out. 1 had to
do this to secure any lettuce plants,
and many unobservant farmers COM
PLAIN of seedsmen when they should at
tribute their troubles to insects.

FREE MAIL DELIVERY.
Curious Result of Experiment. by tn
Postal Authorities.

Postal Authorities.
The difference between city and
country ways have been illustrated in
a curious manner by an experiment of
the post Office department, says the
New York Evening Post. Under the
last administration about fifty villages
and small towns, ranging in population
from eight hundred to four thousand
inhabitants, were picked out for a
trial of the system of distributing
mail matter by carrier, as in large
cities. At first general satisfaction
was manifested, and the receipts of
many of the offices for awhile showed
an increase, indicating that the con-
venience ustimulated correspondence,
but as the novelty wore off the resi-
dents very generally tired of the
change and returned to the old prac-
tice of going to the office themselves
for their mail. A majority of the peo-
pie would apparently rather have their
letters lie in the office until they call
for them and thus have an excuse for
frequent visits to the center of local
activity than have their mail delivered
every day at their houses. The carrier
in such places is really foe to social
activity, as ''going to the post Office
has always been recognized means of
mixing with men, and its occasional
inconvenience is preferable to the loss
of what is often only a pretext for
making a break in the monotony of
retired life. In view of the evidence
that there is not ''a long-felt want tc
be met by this system of free delivery
in small communities, and of the fact
that its general adoption would in
volve an annual expense of at least ten
million dollars, the first assistant post
master general wisely advises a sus-
pension of the experiment.

FIGHTING TINY FOES.

Warfare with insect pests is the pen
atty laid upon the Northwest orchardist
for the advantage of railroad connection
with the markets of the world, says the
Spokane Review. Prior to the compile
tion of the transcontinental railway, the
orchards were wholly free from these
pests, and one could pass from Lewiston
to Jacksonville, eating fruit the entire
distance, and never bite into wormy
apple. That was a great comfort to
people eating apples on dark nights.
But they came soon enough after that;
were probably aboard the first train
that carried Willard and his hackers and
his "busted" boom to these peaceful
shores, and for while they had things
pretty much their own way. At first
there was some desultory fighting with
pan-f1ares and coal oil, but the pests
multiplied with astonishing rapidity,
and each recurring season brought new
and hungry allies. Then the fruit
grower became alarmed, and went at his
enemies with spraying machines, and
after that with laws, and where he
fought hard the victory has been upon
his side.
But it is in California that the really
scientific warfare is being directed
against the fruit pests. Most prolific
and voracious of all these pests was the
cotton cushion scale, which attacked
the orange groves and threatened to
wipe out great and growing industry.
The assistance of the government ento-
mologist was invoked. He discovered
that the scale was native of Australia
and came to these shores in ship
ments of Australian oranges, but
that it was not troublesome there.
This clue was followed up, and the
microscope did the rest. An agent sent
by the United States to that country
found that the cottony cushion scale was
kept in subsection there by the voracious
UedGliG cardinals, which attaches itself
to the cushion scale and eats into his in
visible vitals. The solution was reached.
A colony of the UeddliG cardinals was in
duced to emigrate to California, and
within a short time the scale was OBJ
liberated and the orange grower had
peace.
If anything on earth il more voracious
than the CedaliG cardinals, it is yet to
be discovered. From the cradle to the
grave it does nothing but eat, and when
the board is cleared of the scale, it turns
in and eats its own relatives, until at
last there is left but one big fat vedaka,
with the concentrated blood in his tiny
veins of billions of insect victims Its
earthly mission ended, it then proceeds
to die of a broken heart because there is
no more in sight for the relief of its
frightful appetite. Great is science.
