observer, residing in South Africa, de-

estimated to number about fifteen
thousand ants, started from their
home in the mud walls OF q hut and
marched in the direction OF a small
mound of fresh earth, but few yards
distant. The head OF the column
halted on reaching the foot OF the
mound and waited for the rest of the
force to arrive at the place OF opera
tions, which evidently was to be the
mound OF fresh earth. When the re-
mainder had arrived and halted so that
the entire army was assembled,
number OF ants detached themselves
from the main body and began to as
ccnd to the top OF the mound, while
the others began moving so as TO en-
circle the base OF the mound. Very
soon a number from the detachment
which had assembled the mound or

ing party, entered the loose earth and
speedily returned. each bearing a
cricket or young grasshopper dead
which he deposited upon the ground
and then returned for fresh load
Those who had remained on the out
! side OF the mound, took up the cricR-
cts and grasshoppers as they were
brought out and bore them down TO
| the base OF the hill, returning at once

OF the mound seemed to be exhausted,
and then the whole force returned
home, each carrying his burden OF food

hlbited.
Few of the millions of tea drinkers
in the United States know that the
quality of the tea they use is guaran-
teed by their Uncle Sam. On May l
went into effect the regulations of tie
Treasury Department which were
formulated under an act of congress
approved on March 2, 1897. The OBJ
ject of this act is to prevent the i'm
portation of impure and unwholesome
teas. The standard is fixed by board
of seven members, all of whom must
be tea experts. Once year this board
is appointed by the secretary of the
treasury, to whom the standards are
submitted for approval. In comparing
with standards examiners test all the
teas on these points: For quality, for
any foreign matter on the surface OF
the infusion, sometimes called scum,
and for quality of infusion. Quality is
ascertained by drawing according to
the custom of the tea trade with the
weight of a half dime to the cup. The
quality must be equal to standard, but
the flavor may be that of different
district as long as it is equal in sweet
ness AS an Illustration, a Teenkai
may be equal to Moyune, but dis
tinctly smoky or rank Fychow or
Wenchow of sour character will not be
considered as equal to the two first
mentioned. Rejected teas either are
exported-sent to some other country
or they are destroyed. Qualified ex-
aminers are stationed at the ports Of
New York, Chicago, San Francisco,
Tacoma and st. Paul. If the decision
of the examiners is adverse to the i'm
porter, he may call for a re-eXamina-
| tion-New York Press.
