An eminent authority says we ought
to have a standing army of one hun
dred and fifty thousand men. That
would be Imperialism indeed What
ever the peace results of this war, it
would be a misfortune to have that
expensive show and parade fastened
upon us year by year. There is no ne
cessity for it, and it smacks too much
of the foreign syTtems which ignore
the taxpayer in behalf Of the soldier.
We can get up larger army within a
brief space of time than any other ma

organization would be less expensive
and destructive than continual army

OF the several causes of fear, that OF
thunder and lightning is said by Presi-
dent Stanley Hall to be the most COM
mon, because of the supposed helpless
ness of humanity to avert or neutralize
q stroke of lightning. Yet this is not
always the case. During the civil war
Col. Rutherford b. Hayes and a little
SQUAD Of men were accommodating in
the mountains of West Virginia, when
a severe thunder storm broke over
them and they took shelter under
clump Of trees. With single bolt.
five of the men fell senseless and were
mourned by their companions as dead.
Col Hayes detailed two men TO each
OF the unconscious soldiers and him
self demonstrated the methods used
in resuscitating the drowned. After
ten minutes of Intellectual effort, the
soldiers declared it folly to try longer;
the men were dead. The colonel or
dered no relaxing of work. In twenty
minutes two of the men showed signs
of life; in forty minutes two others,
and after an hour and a half the breath
of the fifth came with a faint flutter,
and all were saved. Make a point of
telling this experience" President
Hayes used to say; lit may save other
lives"

Walker Mimi, Oct. 16.-The Indians,
including the two delegates from the
hostile camp, have had their council
with Commissioner Jones, but 1t is
hard to see where any positive pro-
gress has been made. The plan OF
dealing with the Indians which Com
missioner Jones has adopted is slow
one. 1t means that the Indians may
have all the time they want, and they
are always dilatory. IN one respect
the authorities probably gained an adj
vantage. Commissioner Jones sue
cecded in some degree in separating
the indefinite question of the Indians
grievances from the very definite
proposition that the United States mar
shall wants certain men. The Indians
have tried To consolidate all the col
lateral questions in one issue. The
commissioner declined to allow it, lie
told the Indians very plainly that if
they would get together and agree as
20 what they really wanted he would
cudeavor to settle their grievances as
satisfactorily as possible for the ma
iority under the law. But the men
wanted by the marshal
Must Surrender
without any regard To the other ques-
tons. He also eliminated the deputy
marshal question from the discussion
by telling the chiefs that he had moth
ing to do with the question. AS a re-
suit of the conference. the Indians Will
get together and agree upon a definite
statement of what they want. They
will present their claims 10 the com
missioner before he leaves Walker, but
it is probable that no conclusion will
b. reached at once. Flat Mouth and
delegation will 90 down to Washing
ton to see him later. Northumberland
expressed his Willingness 10 surrender

hostileS. 1t seems 10 he agreed that
HuC will not come in voluntarily.

Anita and Their Milk COWS.

The fact that ants used aphids for
milk COWS was discovered nearly cen
fury ago, but the special care given to
their live stock has been q subject OF
more recent study. Almost any one may
have observed ants running up and
down the trunks of trees and shrubs 1t
is no joy of climbing nor desire for a
wide outlook that leads the ants to as
cend trees, but because the leaves of the
trees afford pasturage for their small
cattle, the aphids. These little creatures
exude voluntarily drops of sweet liquid
known as honeydew. The process of
milking is this: The ant comes up to
the aphid and pats it on the back with
her antennn, at which the tattercd and
pleased aphid gives forth the honey
dew, which the ant eats with every sign
of enjoyment
1t might seem at first glance that the
benefits of this relationship accrue only
to the ants. However, this is not the
case. The ants are fierce defenders of
their fiocks and make it very uncom-
Portable for the many insect enemies of
the apbids. Some species of ants build
sheds over the aphids upon the trees,
and other species remove them to the
safety Of their own nests, but the special
claim Of the ants as aphid protectors
lies in the care Of the aphid eggs, which
are shownsa much attention as their

A Daring Joke.

The celebrated Handel had such sem
sitive nerves that he could not bear to
hear the tuning of instruments, and so
this was always done before he arrived
at the theater. A musical wag wishing
to make mirth from Handel's irascibil-
ity of temper, stole into the orchestra
on a night when the Prince of Wales
was to be present and untuned all the
instruments. AS soon as the prince ar
rived Handel gave the signal for begin
ming con spirito, but such was the hor-
rible discord that the enraged master
started up from his seat, and, overturn-
ing a double bass which stood in his
way, he seized a kettledrum and threw
it with such violence at the head of the
leader of the band that be lost his wig
in the effort. Without waiting to re-
place it he advanced bareheaded to the
front of the orchestra, breathing venge-
ance, but so choked with passion that
he could not speak. In this ridiculous
attitude he stood, stamping and staring,
for some moments, amid convulsion
of laughter Nor could he be prevailed
upon to resume his seat until the prince
went in person and with much difficulty
appeased his wrath.
