A CuriOus Combat.

A traveller in South Africa witnessed
not long since a singular combat. He
was musing one morning, with his eyes
on the ground. when he noticed cat
erpillar crawling along at rapid rate.
Pursuing him was a host Of small
black ants.
Being quicker In their movements.
the ants would catch up with the cater
pillar. and one would mount his back
and bite him. Fausing. the caterpillar
would turn his head and bite and kill
his tormentor. After slaughtering a
dozen or more of his prosecutors the
caterpillar showed signs Of fatigue.
The ants made combined attack. Be-
taking himself to stalk Of grass. the
caterpillar climbed up the tree tail first,
followed by the ants. AS one approach
ed he seized it in his jaws and threw 1t
off the stalk.
The ants. seeing that the caterpillar
had too strong position for them to
overcome. resorted to strategy. They
began saving through tlse grass stalk.
In a few minutes the stalk fell, and
hundreds of ants pounced upon the
fallen caterpillar. He was killed at
once, and the victors marched off in
great triumph. leaving the foes body

Forrest as a Negro Minstrel.

From almost the beginning Of Ameri-
can stage history there were negroes of
the minstrel variety impersonated on
the stage. though it was not until about
1910 that they were organized into
bands. Some of the greatest actors of
later days had their experience as min
strels, among them Joe Jefferson and
Edwin Forrest.
Forrest was given negro "song and
young, and after he had studied it up
he asked where was the "old negro
lady" that was to act his assistant in
the piece. The management tried sew
eral Of the women who were members
Of the company, but none Of them
would consent to blacken up. and, in
fact, they were very indignant over the
proposition. The actor, however, was
not easily discouraged. and on the
night Of the first performance he black
ened up and went around the corner to
an old negro woman who did his wash
ing.
"Hello, Dinah," he said on entering.
"How yo' be er feelin dis berry fine
ebenin?"
"Hello, yo'." replied the African lady.
"'Pears to me yo' am er berry fresh mig
ger"
"I'ze no Niger" answered Forres
and then. time being rather short. he
assumed his natural voice and told Di-
nah, much to her surprise. that he was
Forrest, the actor. and that he wanted
her to go on the stage with him that
night and laugh loudly at frequent in
tervals, which was all the female part
called for. The two made great hit
and were kept on for some time. which
goes to show that Forrest might have
