ANTS AID ROSE GROWER.

L. V. B. Hubbard Notes Their On
slaught Upon the Lice.
L. V. B. Hubbard has a large va
riety of roses, of which he takes much
care, and in which he feels justifiabl(
pride. Like many Others who engage
in rose culture. he has been more o.
less troubled by the plants being Gov
cred with lice and has employed various
devices to rid them of these trouble
some parasites. A day or two ago. how
ever he discovered that he was re-
ceiving aid in his warfare against the
lice, from an entirely unexpected quar-
ter.
He had noticed that large numbers of
big black ants We're to be found upon
and around his rose bushes, and after
carefully watching them he found they
were destroying the lice much faster
than he could. The ants crept upon
the stems Of the bushes, and he saw
them repeatedly seize quantities of the
lice and crawl off with them. He says
that one ant will frequently seize two
or more of the lice at a time, and af-
ter visit to a bush by an army of ants
it is almost impossible to find one Of
the parasites, where before there were
numbers of them.
Hereafter he will have more friend
ly feeling for the ant and is thinking Sc
riously of importing them in large num-
bers to his rose garden.-Ansonia SEN

The Famous Food

The finest specimens of teeth are seen
in animals and human beings who
chew the food thoroughly.
Dentists agree that teeth must be
used to properly preserve them, and
therefore they urge people to chew
their food thoroughly, but the nerv-
Gus. hurried manner of eating is alto
gether too common among Americans.
and when fed on soft rnushes they are
liable to swallow the food without
chewing.
Dyspepsia and bad teeth are the re-
suit if this practice is continued. True,
one can eat soft food without detri-
ment if the necessity of chewing is re-
membered. Grape-Nuts are so crisp
and brittle and withal SO pleasant to
the taste that the user can not forget
to chew, and thus the teeth get the ne
ceseary use and the glands of the gums
are made to give the juices that Ma
ture intends shall be mixed with the
food before it enters the stomach.
These are not the only reasons why
those who eat Grape-Nuts look nour-
ished and we'll fed.

A FINE SERMON.

Thou shalt love the Lord, thy God,
with thy whole heart, and with thy
whole mind This is the greatest and
first commandment. And the second is
like to this: Thou shalt love thy
neighbour as thyself" Matt. NNII.
31-36.) This was the text of Father
Aloysius, Q. S. b., at st. Pauls Catholic
Church on Sunday morning. when he
preached a grand sermon 10 large
congregation.
Father Aloysius, as he appears in the
pulpit, looks, as he Is, an orator The
sermon was in conception, in dction
and in delivery a splendid effort. The
heinous, distorted soul, SCARED with
the leprosy OF sin, which alone can
prevent us from loving our Creator,
was pictured In language both f0rceful
and eloquent. The speaker contended
that the lost soul In hell was there, not
because God sent it, but because it
chose to go of it's own volition, leaving
God, who always stood with loving out
stretched arms entreating His crea lures
to come aid share in His infinite mercy.
Father Aloysius asked his hearers to
scan the pages of history and to search
their own hearts, and they would sec
that the only reward of sin was sorrow
and pain, and death. The peroration
was strongly impressive. The sermon
throughout gave food for thought and
Determination, and was received
with interested attention by the large
congregation present. At the vesper
serviee-in the evening the regular choir
OF st. Paul's was assisted by Mrs. G. r.
Edwards and Mcssrs. Harry Butt and
Hugh Steele. The music rendered was
excellent. A Quartette, composed of
Mrs. Edwards. Miss Virgic Griffin, and
Messrs. Butt and Steele sang n beau

NEW TYPE BATTLESHips.
NAVAL ENGINEERS AT WORK ON
THE PLANS

(By Telegraph to Virglnian-Pilot.)
Washington. Sept. 1S.-The naval en-
gineers have projected plans for the
new battleships which, IL adopted, will
provide an entirely novel type for the
navy. The purpose Is to have these
ships combine in themselves the good
qualities OF battleships and ar1nored
cruisers. The aim will be to have the
highest possible speed for such ships, in
this case 20 knots per hour. This will
be attained by the use of triple screws
two small side screws for use in or
binary cruising, and big central screw
to add to the propulsive force in case
high speed is needed. The ships would
be of $4,000 or 5000 tons displacement,
and with seven inches Of the latest
armor would be almost as strong I'm de-
fence as a regular battleship.
The coal capacity would be about O.
600 tons, sufficient at ordinary cruising
speed to carry the ship ten to fifteen
thousand miles.
