Ants Wearing the Green.

81 once witnessed an interesting but
peculiar spectacle in animal life, but
one which have never been able to &C.
count for" remarked Abraham ]. Civ
ems of Brennan, Tex. 81 was going
home just at nightfall over sandy road
when / noticed directly in front Of me
what appeared to be a long line Of green
ribbon about one-haf an inch thick. I
stopped to examine it, and to my aston
ishment found that it was procession
of ants marching three or four abreast
in very close order, each one carrying q
little piece of green leaf. The effect was
a continuous line of green without any
break. I went back to find the begin
ming, but as it issued from the grass at
the roadside I was unable to trace it
farther inthat direction. I then follow
ed it for several rods until it entered
the grass on the other side and was lost
to sight Whether it was Palm Sunday
or St. Patriok's day with the ants or
some political jubilee they were cele-
brating has always remained a mystery
to me- "-St. Louis Globe Democrat.

Destiny of the South.

AS things are now in the southern
states the man does not live that can
make money in farming there. The
price of cotton has dropped for quarter
of century with regularity that
eliminates the element of chance and
points to some law of markets that is
out of the reach of fertilizers or any de-
vice Of agriculture. 1t is this law that
the planters are looking for.
There is fine spirit of scientific dis
covery abroad in the southern states. If
it does not amount to great intellec-
tual awakening, then the signs that
have always attended popular move
ments do not apply in this instance.
1t is the manifest destiny of the south
to proclaim some cardinal principles Of
political economy in the near future II
might seem extravagant to say that the
hope of the nation rests with the south,
but in these days of political and com
mercial CONSERVATION much more ex
travagant things are afoat in tie prints.
In working out the destiny of the south
the problem of the nation itself may in
deed be solved. There are qualities il
the character of the south that will in
evitably bring these people to the front

A Guttermilk Well,

Did you ever sec a buttermilk we'll?
l mean well that yields buttermilk.
No, there are no buttermilk wells
about here that I know of, but l saw
one out in northern Indiana once. 1t
was connected with creamery. There
is no market for buttermilk there, and
the inhabitants Of the town, who can
get all tho buttermilk they want for
nothing by simply going after it, never
touch it. As fast as the great revolving
churns have precipitated their wealth of
golden butter the milky residuum is
run off into the troughs that lead to the
buttermilk we'll. From thence it is
pumped up to feed hogs, being distrib-
uted by q system of troughs among the
pens. These hogs are merely kept to
utilize the buttermilk, which would
otherwise so to waste, and the fatness
of these animals so fed defies words.
Very little else is given them. Butter
milk pork is said to be superior, cspe-
cially when supplemented with corn.

men were at the 118 mark. Of all the
others over 100, 240 were women and

CHASING THE WALRus.
How He Is Harpooned and Then Finished
With Cold Lead.

How He Is Harpooned and Then Finished
With Cold Lead.
Arnold Pike tells of a walrus hunt in
Bird bay, to the north of Spitzbergen.
The bay,was full of fast ice, but east
ward the sea was fairly open, and the
hunter was rowing slowly back to the
sloop when the harpooner suddenly laid
aside his glass and headed the boat for
black mass which the mirage magni-
fed into the size of small house, but
which was really walrus.
1.-The walrus raises his head, and we
are motionless," says Mr.. Pike. ''It is
intensely still, and the scraping of a
piece of ice along the boat seems like
the roar of q railway train passing over
head on some bridge. Down goes the
head, and we glide forward again. The
walrus is uneasy. Again and again he
raises his head and looks around with a
quick motion, but we have the sun right
at our back, and he never notices us.
At last we are within few feet, and
with shout of 'Voek op, gamlingp
(Wake up, old boy), which breaks the
stiffness like shot, the harpooner is on
his feet, his weapon clasped in both
hands above his head.
GAS the walrus plunges into the sea
the iron is hurled in his side, and with
a quick twist to prevent the head from
slipping out of the same slit that it has
cut in the thick hide the handle is
withdrawn and thrown into the boat.
No. 2, who with turn round the for
ward thwart has been paying out the
line, now checks it, as stroke and the
'hammelmand, facing forward, hang
back on their oars to check the rush.
Dumping and scraping the ice, we are
towed along for about five minutes and
then stop as the walrus comes to the
surface to breathe.
"In the old days the lance would fin.
ish the business, but now it is the rife.
He is facing the boat. I sight for one Of
his eyes and let him have both barrels
without much effect apparently, fol
away we rush for two or three minutes
more, when he is up again, still facing
the boat. He seems to care no more fol
the solid express bullets than if they
were peas, but he is low this time, an6
as he turns to dive exposes the fata
spot at the back of his head and dies "

AN AMUSING ADVENTURE.
A Stupid Corporal. an Embarrassed Colo
mel and a Tactful Woman.

mel and a Tactful Woman
A superior officer of the B garri-
son was some time ago the hero Of a
most amusing adventure Colonel 2
had received from Mime. v an in
vitation to dinner, but on the day ap-
pointed, and Just as he was about to
start, he was seized with a violent at
tack of neuralgia and decided to forego
the pleasure in store for him. The colo
mel wrote letter of apology, called his
orderly and said:
"Guy, you will give this letter to
Mime. v and then go and fetch me
my dinner" p"
Here the plot commences. Guy set
off after carefully secreting the letter
in his breast pocket along with his to-
bacco pouch. He arrived at Nine.
VS., delivered his message and
stood as rigid as statue. The lady of
the house was surprised and inquired
what he was waiting for. Guy replied:
1.-THE colonel told me to fetch him
his dinner"
Nine v saw the mans mistake,
gave certain orders, and the servants
handed the faithful linesman a set Of
dishes emitting fragrant odors. More
over, Nine. v slipped half bottle
of champagne into the soldiers pocket
and said:
"You will serve this to the colonel al
dessert" E"
Guy came back, and, upon my word,
the restaurant seemed to have provided
such host of good things that the colo
mel got up and took his seat at the table
Over the soup he slowly began to recover
his appetite, to his no small surprise
The side dishes made him quite raven
GUS, with the entrees his pain disap
peared, he was stupefied at the roas
meat and dumfounded at the game, anC
still his wonder grew at the marvelou
dishes supplied by his chophouse keeper
At the dessert the orderly, obeying hi
instructions, set the bottle of champaign,

PLANTATION, when everything came out

francs. telling him to buy bunch o
flowers and present it from him t.

fed that he had done his best under tn
trying circumstances. settled down il
an easy chair and composed himself t.
sleep. An hour and half later the doc
! opened, and Guy walked in and gravel,
deposited two franc pieces on the ia
BILE. The colonel questioned him witt
some anxiety.
"The lady paid for the nosegay,
said the honest warrior, apparently wei
pleased with the general turn of affairs
Mime. v, on receiving the bou
quet, had given the soldier francs b
way of tip, on receiving which tn
latter simply replied:
''It isn't francs, please, ma'am;
is 10 francs"

HIGHER EDUCATION.
The Interesting Results OF the study of q
Frogs Tiny Muscle.

Frogs Tiny Muscle.
The young man who has had the
priceless experience Of self abandonment
to some happily chosen point was we'll
illustrated in a man knew, writes G..
Stanley Hall in The Forum. With the
dignity and sense of finality of the
American senior year quick within him
his first teacher in Germany told him
to study experimentally one of the IL
muscles of frogs leg. The mild dis
sipation of a somewhat too prolonged
general culture aided by some taste for
breezy .philosophic speculation, almost
diverted him from SO mean an object.
But as he progressed he totEd that he
must know in q more minute and prac-
tical way than before-in way that
made previous knowledge seem unreal
certain definite points in electricity,
chemistry, mechanics, physiology, ETC.,
and bring them to bear in fruitful rela-
ton to each other. As the winter pro-
ceeded the history of previous views
was studied and broader biological re-
lations seen, and as the summer waned
and second year was begun in the
study of this tiny muscle it was seen
that its laws are the same in frogs and
men; that just such contractile tissue
had done all that man had accomplish
ed in the world, and that muscles are
the only organs of the will As the
work went on many of the mysteries Of
the universe seemed to enter in his
theme. In the study of this minute OBJ
ject he gradually passed from the atti-
tude of Peter Bell, of whom the poet
says:
| A priml ose by rivers brim
| A yellow primrose was to him,
| And it was nothing more
up to the standpoint of the seer who
"plucked a flower from the crannied
wall' and realized that could he but
understand what it was, root and all,
and all in all, he would know what
God and man is" Even if my friend
had contributed nothing in discovery to
the temple of science, he had felt the
profound and religious conviction that
the world is lawful to the core and had
experienced what q truly liberal and
higher education-in the modern as dis
tinct from themediaval sense--reall- is.
