ANTS DISCARD THEIR WINGS.
They Fly Just Once, When They Come
from the Parent-Mny Be Dis
Carded by DESIGN.

The big black ant Is one of the
very few creatures that, once provided
with serviceable wings, voluntarily
sheds them, and goes about ever after
solely by help of it's slender legs.
The nest is nearly always either un-
der or in decaying timber, by prefer
ence the sill of barn, or a low-set
house. They remain in it half dor.
mant throughout the cold weather
stirring sluggishly to feed, and look
after the eggs.
When the eggs hatch, says the Bos-
ton Globe, the young ants grow very
fast, especially the wings. They are
furnished with single pair, attached
little way back of the head, and
little longer than the body itself. It
is by their presence or absence you
distinguish the young ants from the
| veterans.
All the big black ants migrate, but
only the young ones come out in a
swarm. Almost invariably they begin
flying in the morning, when the sun
is an hour or two high. Evidently the
migration is prearranged. Given a
fair day, and a big nest, the ants
fly out like the waters Of a foun-
tain, the wings of soft silver-gray
shimmering delicately in the sunshine.
The stream of them spreads fanwise
| and sometimes reaches more than a
yard from the nest.
AS they touch ground the winged
ants fold their pinions above their
backs and scurry away, apparently
in the direst confusion, but really to
meet little later, mass themselves,
and go in search of new home.
Right there the odd part comes. By
the time they do meet the wings have
been shed. 1t is uncertain whether or
not the unwinging was accident or de-
sign. What is certain is that the
wings are very slightly attached.
Feathered folk, wild and tame, are
fond OF young ants, and gather to the
swarming as to feast. Hens or
blackbirds in flock almost upset each
other in their eagerness to catch ants
before they settle.
But after they are caught the cap
tors do not swallow them at once. In
stead, they hold the ant firmly in the
beak and strike it against the ground
until the wings fall off, then gulp it
down. Country people say the wings
are poison.

Labor Prior to Capital.

Labor is prior to and independent OF
capital. Capital is only the fruit of la
Dor and could not have existed if labor
had not first existed. Labor is the su.
perior of capital and deserves much the
higher consideration. Capital has its
rights, which are as worthy of protec.
ton as any other rights. Nor is it de-
MED that there is, and probably win al-
ways be, a relation between labor and
capital, producing mutual benefits.
The error is in assuming that the whole
labor of community exists within that
relation. braham Lincoln.
