NJ. Forcl, in his work on ants, has pointed out that very young ants de- vote themselves at first to the care of the larvae and pupae and that they take no share in the defense of the nest or other out-of-door work until they are some days old. This seems natural, be- cause their first skin is comparatively soft, and it would not be well for them to undertake rough work or run into canger until their armor had had lime = harden.

COUNTY FINANCES.
An Excellent Showing For the
 Year Just Ended.

Coct iss county is able to present a most excellent showing in the matter of the payment of taxes, and we be- lisvo our county, as usual, will head the list throughout the Territory in the highest percentage of tsxes paid and lssst amount lei, delinquent.
 By examination of tho report of Treasurer Wentworth it is seen that of the total valuation of the county the amount due for taIee feots up $l05 ,69l 92. Of this amount there has been paid into the treasury, for taxes only, $95,o4l.55, leaving but little ever $l0,OG0 d.linqusht-the smallest delinquent amount ID years.
 This demonstrates that the taxpay- CTS Of Ccchisa ere enjoying reason able prosperity and are not backward aoout paying their share Of tax burdens. IL speaks volumes for our county and its people.
 Yesterday $l7, ,S4S.2s was forwarded to the Territorial Treasurer st Phop. nix ss Cechise's share for Territorial purposes, and with the payment of all county warrants out tsndins, which has been a tremendous drain and the redemption Of SIP coo bonded indebtedness, but little of the $95,CGO remains, and not enough left to In- spire any high~aynan to loot the county e1chequer With any hope of securing big booty.

branch of the service. Properly, me-
Chanical maneuvers belong to the engi
neers. They consist of mounting and
dismounting the big guns, and the
heavy artilleryman is expected to mas
ter the uses of all the paraphernalia re-
quired in this work-almost every style
Of jack and tackle 1t is very hard la
Dor, and besides it is dangerous.
Another maneuver that drives to des-
sometimes old timers, too, is the instru-
ment drill. This is sprung after he has
had time to become somewhat familiar
with few Of the other drills. 1t is i'll
this instrument drill that the heavy ar
tilieryman IS expected TO develop into
fair amateur scientist.
Some of the artillerymen become in
terested in the instrument drill. or
rather the drills on instruments, and
take to the study Of mathematics for
solutions: but the majority of them
listen to the elaborate scientific explana-
tons of the officers as to the uses of the
instrument, their mechanism, etc., and

the next instrument drill.
An army officer can always tell an
old artilleryman merely by looking at
his face, and he doesn't have to be a
Sherlock Holmes 10 do il either The
man who has stood by while much pow
der has been burned, especially the man
who has often pulled the lanyard OF q
big gun, acquires an expression which
in these days might be called the artil-
lery face.
There is also an artillery attitude.
The man stands with his feet firmly
braced to meet the terrible shock which
is to follow the explosion. His body is
drawn away as far as is possible from
the gun. In other words, he fires his
cannon at extreme arms length. This
attitude is natural one to take in order
that the body may be as much out Of
the way as possible in case the gun sud
denly recoils or bursts.
The gunner's attitude is expressive Of
alertness and certain grim resigna-
ton. His face is an even more interest
ing study. 1t shows in its closely COM
pressed lips and half closed eyes strength
without any element of fear, and it
needs to be strong, since this determined
man, in view Of all surrounding dan
gers, may be said to be looking death in
the face at every moment. He cannot
help but feel, too, his personal respon-
sibility for the tremendous damage and
destruction which he can do with his
gun, and the moral effort to disregard
the consequences writes itself in the
rigid lines of his face.

wings. These Were brushed out in a
fringe each hair of which was distinct,
and this fringe took an upward direction
and rested on the cheek.
The result is only achieved after much
patient training, and the aspirant to the
new style viii find it necessary to carry
small comb, with which he may keep tho
wings of the butterfly properly distended.
Each hair in this butterfly mustache must
be specially treated with cosmetics, al
though the real secret of the best results
must probably be borrowed from tho beau
tiful Circassian lady of the museums,
whose bounteous locks arc made to pre-
serve their upright position by means of a
nightly bath in stale beer.

Their not compromised and agreed to
send him to Annapolis. Such was the
hoyhood of the man who in his sixty
first year struck blow which made one
nation shout for JOY and another weep
in futile rage.
Early in the civil war George Dewey
was given an opportunity to show his
superiors that he was made of heroic
stuff. Ho was lieutenant on board the
steam frigate Mississippi in March,
1868, when the Union fleet tried to run
past the Confederate batteries at Port
Hudson. Right under the guns of the
fort the Mississippi ran aground, and in
less than half al hour $50 shots struck
the vessel, In the midst Of this terrible
fire Lieutenant Dewey went about his
duty as calmly as if he had been out in
an April shower The commander de-
clded to destroy his ship and abandon
her. While the crew We're tumbling in
to the boats lieutenant Dewey was ply
ing the torch iii various parts of the
ship. lie was the last man 60 leave on
ly escaping by floating away ON a bale
of cotton.
1t was in this same action that a

THE ARTILLERYMAN.
HE HAS AN EXPRESSION AND hTTl-
tube ALL HIS OWN.

Some OF the Trials and Tribulations Of tho
Men In the Heavy Branch Of the serv-
tce-Expectcd to Become Amateur Sci
entists.
Next to the men who handle big guns
afloat the men vino train, load and fire
the big guns ashore command the ad-
miration of the civilian. The artillery
man, whether light or heavy, is gener-
ally worthy of all the glory he gets, for
his Job is hard one and his pay is
small
The light artilleryman's drills are
many and his duties arc heavy but he
is consoled for this in the reflection that
he belongs to t.le crack branch in the
whole military outfit. Foreign military
critics of eminence have rnhesitatingly
pronounced the ten batteries of light ar
tillery of the United States army to be
unsurpassed in tho world for horseman
ship and rapid and scientific handling
of the pieces
But while tie light artilleryman has
got to be rs nimble IS an acrobat and
an absolute master OF horSemanship he
| does not have to use his head nearly so
much as his comrade in the heavy artii-
lery.
The zone man one gun" soldier, the
"doughboy, can master all the i'll
fantry tactics required by three months
drilling but at the end of three years
service term only the best of the heavy
artillerymen have more than vague
knowledge Of the many drills at which
| they have worked. 1t does not take "a
heavy artilleryman long to learn to
carry ammunition, and if be is quick
witted he can soon master the duties
demanded of one particular member Of
big guns crew; but when it comes to
| learning the duties of every position
about gun he is apt to get them all
hopelessly muddled up and make the
| drill sergeant swear.
| There are thousand and one or
more movements to be executed in get
ting great gun served and into firing
position, but there are many auxiliary
drills besides the infantry formation
! and drills on the big pieces.
/ The drills called mechanical maneu-
vers are the bane of soldiers in this

Yes but my coats ruined. said the
intrepid lieutenant. The shot had torn
the tails from his uniform coat.
But the fighting schoolboy and the
reckless lieutenant grew into mild
hammered, soft spoken captain. He had

but how to command himself.

full men on the ship and fighting drunk.
The officer of the deck tried to put them
in irons, but they took refuge in the
forecastle. Dewey was writing letter
when he was notified Of the state of
things. Taking his revolvers, he walked
forward and ordered the men to come
up. They told him to come down and
fetch them up
II am going to count three, y said
Dewey, covering them with his re-
volvers. "If you don't come out of there
with your hands up on the third count,
you won't come out alive.
The men came out, and Dewey went
back to finish his letter. This is the sort
of man who ran up the stars and stripes
over Manila.
