SOCIALISM PRACTICALLY EXEM-

The Puritan Magazine for July
contains an entertaining article of
how socialism has been practically
applied by Dayton. Ohio, manu-
acturer named Patteson.
Finding himself becoming bank
rupt by the method in vogue some
years since, he set about reforms
alton in his business. He dis
charged his superintendent and
made committee of his employees
responsible for his duties. Cot
tages we're built, free meals served,
a kindergarten established, thea
ter maintained and in every way
the material comfort as we'll as in>
tellectual advancement Of his ems
ployes looked after. AS a conse-
quence the grimy factory has be>
come thing of beauty and the
surroundings those of resort
rather than manufacturing town.
Prosperity in wonderful degree
has come to the owner, because Of
the improved service, and from a
plodder the employe has broaden
ed intelligent and progressive man
hood. He has a model cottage in
which to live, each one delight to
the eye of the landscape gardener;
he sees his children receiving the
benefits of an education; his toll is
not grinding, and the place where
he labors is clean, airy and every
comfort possible provided tor him;
he is to an extent a. sharer in the
profits, his advice is sought and il
his ideas prove valuable in improv-
ing the business conditions of the
establishment, they are literally

1t has proved wonderful sue
cess, and we commend it to other
employees. 1t has drawn employer
and employee to each other, and no
thoughts Of lockouts or strikes
ever cross the minds Of employer
or employed.
Mr.. Paterson, strange to say, is
neither socialist nor philanthropist
He inaugurated this enterprise, he
said, in mercenary spirit. BY its
adoption he obtains better service,

success as they would their own,

A Great Spud Mine.

that 80 tons of potatoes were raised

river, and was laughed at. There is
nothing extravagant in the assertion,

tubers were so prolific that they en-
tirely displaced the soil, and spread
SO that we had to frequently get up in

give them a chance. When the spuds
matured We had to sink shafts, rUu
drifts, and stope for them, We don's
remember the yield per acre, but
there wasn't room enough on the

A Troubled Irlshman.

The man who does not care to work
has no difficulty in finding an excuse
for his Incidence, although probably
the man mentioned below was not open
to that accusation.
An old Irish laborer walked into the
luxurious studio Of William Keith,
the artist, recently, and asked for
money to obtain q meal. He explain
ed that he had just been discharged
from the county hospital, and was too
weak to work. Mr.. Keith gave hin n
quarter, and he departed. One of four
young ladies, art students, who we're
present said: "Mr. Keith, can't we
hire that old man and sketch him?"
Keith ran out and caught him, and
said: eff you can't work and want to
make dollar, come back to my rooms.
The young ladies' want to paint you.
The Irishman hesitated, so Keith re-
marked: "It won't take long. and
it's an easy way to make dollar"
"Oi know that" was the reply; "but
Oi was a-wunderin' how Old git tn

AtOnes for Crime Of Many Years
Ago.

\ master mason in Bcntschcn, Ger
many, named Jacobs, was delighted to
receive remittance recently from a
man in New York. The sender was
unknown to him, but the remittance
amounted to G0,07S marks, equal to
S15, 900. The sender, Jacobs believes.
must have signed an assumed name.
He says the only explanation he can
give for the strange transaction is that
the money came from former part
ner, who abscondcd 30 years ago.
He says that in 1869 his partner in
business disappeared suddenly, taking
with him $4,000 marks which belong
to Jacobs. Every effort was made to
find him or get trace Of his where
abouts but all were unsuccessful. and
after while he resigned himself to
his loss. About year ago, he says,
while on business trip in North
Germany, he was thrown in contact
with party of American tourists
travelling in the same direction. lie
talked with them and they told him of
many successful Germans who had
settled in the United States.
He remembered his absconding
partner and wondered if he had migra-
ted to America. He told his newly
made companions the story of his
troubles and mentioned his former
partner 8 name. The Americans said
they. knew millionaire of that name
in Chicago. Mr.. Jacobs thinks it
possible that the Americans told the
Chicago millionaire Of the interview
when they returned and that the re-
mittance was the result The money
sent represents the amount of the
original loss, plus compound interest
The name Of the Chicago millionaire
was not divulgcd by Jacobs. -Ncm

The man had been absent from New

his absence many changes had taken
place. Some Of his friends had moved
away and some had died. Though he

Wonderful Things.

If ants were large enough they would
rule the earth. AS it is they prcdom
mate the politics Of their own sphere,
aud have many human characteristics.
The longest time for which an ant
sleeps is three and Il half hours. On
awakening they stretch their legs,
yawn, and then carefully clean them
selves by applying their legs to their
mouths and rubbing them over their
bodies, very much in the style Of a
cat washing her face: after which they
brush their heads and bodies with the
natural comb which nature gives
them
The most remarkable thing about
this is that almost every necessity for
which we are obliged in our case to
employ more or less complicated
mechanical contrivanccs is provided
for by the physical structure Of the
ants.
Ants clean themselves both before
and after sleep, and also after eating.
Frequently one ant will lick and brush
another all over, limb by limb, the
ant operated upon sprawl!ng on her
back, relaxing her muscles and aban-
doning herself to the enjoyment of
the operation.
They are great hunters, attacking
snakes, lizards, rats, mice, centipcdes
and beetles.
They even kill the great African
python. 1t is said that if python
has killed an animal he dare not gorge
himself with it till he has made a
wide circuit and satisfied himself that
there are no driver ants in the neigh
borhood. If, however, he meets with
any, he abandons his prey to them,
and discretely retires A certain
species actually keep cows, in other
words, plant lice. When the ants are
hungry they actually milk the aphidcs
by tapping them briskly on the sides
OF the abdomen with their antennae
till the fluid cxudes, when it is at once
sucked up by the ants
They shut them up in COW houses
and use them for days.
Ants act as soldiers in a very real
way, and it is no stretch Of language
to call them pitched battles between
ants of the same species, and raids of
| one species upon the nests Of another,
sometimes to carry off the larvae and
pup;c as food "a modified form Of can
nibalism,) and sometimes to supply
their own nests with slaves.
Certain ants are agriculturists, and
allow ant-ricc to grow up in circle
round their nests. while every other
plant is carefully cut down as fast as
it appears. They SOW the crop regu-
larly, tend it, and harvest it. When
the seeds fall they are carried into
the nest, and the stubble is cleared
away. When the grain in the nest
gets damped by rain these ants carry
it out in the open to dry Cincinnati
