Ant SInYehoIdern.

Many of the large red ants are slave
holders, and. oddly enough their slaves
are invariably black. much as Is the
case with the human race. When
slaves are desired by colony of ants,
a regular army of invasion Is formed,
and skirmishers and scouts are sent on
ahead to discover nest of black ants
This having been found. the warrior
nnts-insects quite different from the
ordinary workers, with powerful jaws
set out to invade their neighbours ter
ritory and carry away the eggs and
pup9 to their own nests. A fierce bat
tie ensues. but the invading ants are
always victorious.
On returning to their own colony the
young of their defeated foe are taken
into their nests and carefully treated
until they arrive at maturity. when
they become the willing bCndsmen of
the conQuerors of their parents, doing
all the hardest work of the community,
even to the length of feeding their cap
tors. The latter however, Is not en-
tirely needless humiliation to subject
them to, as some species Of slavehold-
ing ants are incapable of feeding them
selves and would die of starvation in
the midst of plenty were 1t not for
their slaves.-Kansas City Independ-

For dinner table decorations as far
as coloring is concerned it is best to
keep to the warmer tints. Avoid the
use OF white by itself and keep to
shades of crimson. old gold or even
bronze tones. the latter especially
where there is large display of old
silver. The vases may be filled with
we'll berried holly points and mistletoe,
with Christmas roses as a sort of I'M
dergrowth to the various stands. Frost
ed branches and sprays are always
fashionable Mt this season and have a
very charming effect. Their beauty
may be much enhanced by judicious
use of bright ribbon bows. Lamps and
candles must all have their shades to
match the principal coloring used In
the decoration. Tall tubes look very
well on a large table. especially where
space is a considerations. e., where
the table is otherwise we'll laden with

Dear Love, when spring has come. Ap zaturs

And from her languid lids the bandage takes
Tc look with wondering eyes upon the =orn.
The trees unfold their robes OF silyery green
And thrifty insects from lie blossoms gleas;
Each birding hn'.s mate both fond and true.
And |, dear Love. have you.
Dear Love. in summer time each heightened day
To harvest fields tribute rich must pay
OF sunshine packed in grains of yellow corn
The earth is weighted with the seasons store;
No creature, IT % nor vine can ask for more.
Nature has sati, led each bird and bee
Has given you me.
Dear Love. chill fall doth paint in colors rare
The forests and the fields that soon grow bare
As winter clasps them to her icy breast
Nature must wake and work and rest awhile,
Must sleep and cry perehance as well as smile;
And nature, life and love one. know,
Because ! love you So
