The Election.

There will be little variation in the vote
Shat each sndldate will receive who Is
voted for throughout tho county. In
other words, but little scratching Of tick
cts will be practicsd and each candidate
will get the full party vote. 1t is Idle to
saw that this candidate will run ahead Of
his ticket or that one run behind 1t.
man may have Jew friends in his own
neiphborhood who will vote for him, but
this will DO cqualized In other sections If
the Republicans have majority OF voters
registered in the county, they will elect
their candidates for sheriff, coroner ard
recorder Of deeds. On the other hand, II
the Democrats have majority Of the
vo.crs in the county, they Will elect their
candidates for the offices named. The
sandjdate; for the Legislature will be
elected from districts and it Is pretty Ger
tain that the Republican candidates for
Senator in the First Third. Fourth and
Fifth Districts will BIO elected leaving
the o.her two Districts to the Demo-
crat.. 1t is probable that the Repnb-
,cans may elect their candidates In eight
Of the Representative Districts and the
Democrats in seven. From the above IL
may be seen that neither patty can have a
very great majority in the Legislature as
It is probable that the Districts in Kent
and Sussex counties will be nearly as
equally divided.

Romance has played prominent
part with regard to the longevity of
deer. What says the Highland adage?
Thrice the age Of dog is that Of
a horse.
Thrice the age Of horse is that Of
man.
Trice the age OF a man is that Of
deer
Thrice the age of deer is that Of an
eagle.
Thrice the age of an eagle Is that Of
an oak tree.
This is to assign the deer a period
OF more than 200 years; an the esti-
mate Is supported by many highly cir
, cumstantial stories. Thus, Captain
Mcdonald, Of Tulloch who died in l7I',
aged Sc years. is said to have known
the white hind Of Loeb Treig for 80
years, his father for like period before
him. and his grandfather for sixty
years before him. So in 1876. Mae
donald Of Glengarry Is reported to have
Killed stag watch bore mark on the
left ear Identical with that made on all
the calves he could catch by Even
MarIan-Or, who had been dead $50
years. Analogous stories. it may be
noted. are told In countries on the con-
tinent Of Europe. where deer are to be
found in any number. But alas. the
general opinion among experts would
seem to be that thirty years or there
ahouts the limit of Il deer's life.

remarkable as having more than hun
bred blades. Perhaps the most eyqui-
site and valuable specimens Of knives
are In the possession Of the cutters Of
Sheffield One. which Is very remark
able is not longer than thumb nail,
and yet contains twenty blades. An
other. which is but an inch long when
closed has seventy blades, beautifully
made, and illustrating nearly all the
forms ever given to knife blades An
other specimen has 900 blades. all
etched With portraits. landscapes Or
other artistic designs. Another OF

valued at from 500 TO $500.

HOW ANTS MAKE SLAVES.


Warrior ANITA Which Enslsve the Small
and Weaker species.
The warrior ant is a slave-making
species. 1t Is large red kind, and II
makes raids against nests Of the small
yellow turf ant, mild and docile race,
large numbers of which 1t carries of to
act as servants.
But it does not steal FULLY grown turf
ants. Their habits are formed and
they would be useless for such purpose.
What the warrior ant wants is raw
material, which can be turned into
thoroughly well-trained servants. So
1t merely killed the adult ants which
strive to oppose its aggression and con-
tents itself with trundling home to its
own nest the lavae and pupae Of the
turf ants which it has put to flight and
vanquished.
In time these grubs and cocoons pro-
duce full-grown yellow workers, which
can be taught by the warrior ants 10
act as nurses and housemaids. l once
saw in garden in Algiers great
pitched battle going on between slave
makers and the family of the future
slaves. in which the ground was strewn
with the corpses of the vanquished.
Not till the nests Of the smaller ants
were almost exterminated did they re-
tire from the unequal contest and al
low the proud invader to carry off
their brpthers and sisters in their CO.
coons, asleep and unconscious. Oc-
casionally. by dint Of mere numbers.
they beat off the invader with heavy
loss; but much more often the large
and strengthened warriors win the
day and destroy to worker the oppos-
ing forces They crush their adver-
saries' heads with their vice-like man
dibles. Meanwhile. within the nest
the other half of the workers-the de-
vision told of as special nurses are
otherwise employed in defending and
protecting the rising generation. At
the first alarm, at the first watchword
passed with antennae through the
nest, "A warrior host is attacking u.s."
they hurry to the chambers where the
cocoons are stored and bare them off
In their mouths into the recesses of the
nest, the lowest and most inaccessible
of all the chambers.
