The Celebrated Leaf ANTI

One of the oldest little creatures In
all animal nature IS the leaf ant OF
Central America. Although different
species Of this oddity are known to In
habit the American continent from
Brazil TO Mexico, the real home OF the
true leaf ant is In Nicaragua To all
outward appearances this little insect
IS a common ant, but one Of gigantic
size, 1t must be admitted, when COM
pared with the ants Of our temperate
regions. being on an average over an
inch In length. The habit for which
these ants are so celebrated, and one
which we could hardly believe were II
not for the Testimony Of reputable nat
uralists, is thar of carrying a leaf for
q sunshadc, just as our women and
men carry parnsols and umbrellas for
the same purpose.
When at work. the leaf carrying ants
look like a little army in which each
individual member is protected from
the suns rays by little banner of
green. Another remarkable fact in con-
nection with the leaf carrier Is that
only those at work carry he little leafy
protection. When n long file of burden
bearers have deposited. their budgets,
they discard their parasolS and return
for a load without the leaf which
made them such conspicuous objects

MiIIet and "The AngeIus."

1t was only after long years of str-ug
gle and dire poverty. through which
Mlllet was consoled aud supported by
his wife, that the peasant painter was
able 60 take the three roomed cottage
at Barbizon and try to do something
really good, 1t was then that he be-
gan to paint that most beautiful poem
of poverty" the "Angelus," which is
today one Of the most valuable pic
lures in the world. Again and again he
threw aside the picture, in despair OF
ever finishing 1t to HIS satisfaction, and
as often his wife replaced 1t on the
easel and induced him to continue.
On one occasion he was SO incensed
at not being able to produce a certain
effect that he seized knife and would
have destroyed the canvas and ended
the matter once for all bad not his wife
fortunately seized his hand and in
'duced him to give the picture another
trial. Thus 1t was that at last the
"Angelus" found a place on the walls
of the Louvre. The success it won en-
couraged Millet to paint many more
pictures and thus place himself among
the immortals In art.

A Cursing Contest.

A professor of languages some years
ago on returning from India remarked
upon the paucity of Objectionable
phrases among the British working
classes when compared with the abun-
dance supplied by the orientals of sim
liar rank. To prove this he gives a
case which came under his own notice.
He had dismissed a manservant for
dishonesty, and the next morning at
o'clock he sought an interview with his
former master. He fourished a cary
ing knife, with which he plainly In
tended to emphasize his remarks.
When he found it impossible to gain
admission, he sat under the window,
and the swearing" process began. he
cursed the professor along the gene
illogical tree back TO the first ancestor
of his race. Then he dwelt upon every
detail of his anatomy. from the top of
his head to the end of his toes. "For
three consecutive hours he sat there
and swore." says the professor, with
out once repeating a phrase"
While travelling on the underground
railway in London party of working
men entered the same compartment
and interspersed their remarks with
the commonest forms of swearing
The professor politely asked them to
desist, whereupon he was told TO mind
his own - business. He at once COM
menced to translate into English some
specimens of eastern oaths which he
had heard a Calcutta merchants serv'
ant use to missionary's servant The
men sided from him as II he had the
plague and at the next station sought
another compartment.-Llv Post

MOST POWERFUL BATTLE
SHIP.

The naval board of experts will give
serious attention to designs for the largest
and most powerful warship ever attempt
ed in this country and over 1000 tons
heavier that the greatest vessel ever con-
structed abroad. 1t had been believed
that the limit of size in the battlcship line
was reached when Great Britain began
the building of $4,000 ton vessels, which
are practically duplicated in displacement
by the Georgia and Virginia type, now IN
der way, but Admiral Bowles and other
officers of the construction board have the
opinion that battleships can be built lar
ger, with greater speed and carrying fal
more formidable batteries There is every
probability that plans will be submitted to
Congress calling for at least one &c. 900 ton
battleship mounting four - inch guns
1G S-inch guns and 50 3-inch, battery
not eqalled by any fighting vessel ever
built. This battery would, in fact, SUI
pass the combined batteries of almost any
two armored cruisers, and with speed OF
81 knots the new ship would be the most
powerful monster of the sea. 1t is pro.
posed that such vessel shall be $50 feet
long, or many feet longer than any vessel
of the navy.

FLOCKING 10 THE CITIES

THE sociability Of the city" says the
Boston Transcript, "has its attraction
for the country youth. This attrac-
ton tells why the same process of
building up cities at the expense OF
villages is in operation at the same
time in the United States, Great Bri-
tain and France.
I'm Great Britain agriculture is in
state of marked depression. In
France it is in a better condition than
in Great Britain and in the United
States it is tlourishing. Kansas will
require 10000 men from without its
borders to harvest its crops this year.
AS in all three countries the drift of
population is downward the movement
must be due to other than agricutu-
raj conditions. People are moved by
two great desires-for profit and for
pleasure.
"The past in Europe was very pic
turesq", with its patient peasantry
but a few. centuries ago, when the til
lers of the soil were so gratifying to
the aesthetic sense, the jewellers in the
town by their guilds and guild privi-
leges kept the countryman in the
country, where he vcgetated and made
astriking though somber background"

The machinsts' strike is one of those
great labor disturbances about which the
entire continent is concerned Men from
Canada to Mexico have left their tools,
benches and workshops to emphasize their
demand for what they consider more
equable treatment from their employers
Baltimore furnishes more than 800 of the
aggregate of 100000 men on strike. and
hardly city in the northern half of the
continent is not affected. This makes the
situation far graver than if but one local
ity were interested, and furnishes extra
ordinary reasons for the repression of all
hostile acts and demonstrations
The policy of the international Asso-
citation of Machinists is to avoid ali overt
acts, and it is earnestly to be hoped that
it will be followed to the letter. There
should be careful avoidance on the part
of the strikers Of everything tending to-
ward violence, and the operators should
refrain from giving cause to the strikers
to vent their passions. The area covered
by the strike is so vast, and the number
of men concerned so great, that a brand
thrown in one place may start a burning
which will sweep over the country, entail
ing ruin to life and property. The strikers
are confident of winning by pursuing a
peaceful policy, and they should hold
themselves in check against everything
else with uncommon force and pcrsever-

FOR STATE SENATOR.

The name of Joseph S. Wilson, Esq.
has been presented the Democratic
voters Of this county for the State Sen.
ate in graceful editorial by our
esteemed co temporary, The Go=ette-
under the caption, "Thc Logical Candi
date" and we take pleasure in endors-
ing all that has been so well said Of
him.
1t is not astonishing TO find that
there is sincere, earnest and wide
spread sentiment among Democrats
throughout the county to place Mr..
Wilson's name at the head of the local
ticket this year. when we regard the
eminent qualifications he possesses for
party leadership. Nor is that senti-
ment of spasmodic OF sudden growth.
For two years or more events have
been tending towards the centering
upon him as recognized leader who
would enjoy the confidence and esteem
Of the people, and who could lead the
party through successful campaign
successful not for some but for all
its nominees.
The Democratic party wants to sue
coed, and no one wants to see it sue
coed in this county more than eX-Sen-
ator German does. It's five votes in
the Legislature may be an important
factor in the election of Senator Well
ington's successor. They ought to be
secured, and they will be secured if
the leadership here is placed in The
hands of those whom the people want,
and whose prudence, sagaclty and
fidelity have been proven in the past.
Mr.. Wilson is not only popular at
home, but is recognized outside of the
county as an able lawyer and as one
Of our foremost citizens He is identi-
fed with several prominent enterprises
which bring him into close touch with
the people, to whom he is always
obliging and courteous. He took an
active interest in the organization of
our Agricultural Fair Association, and
is friendly to every enterprise that
tends tc promote the prosperity and
happiness of farmers.
1t will, doubtless, be cheering to the
Democracy Of the county to know that
Mr.. Wilson has consented to the use
of his name, and that his friends have
every reason to believe, from tic
assurances they are receiving from
every quarter, that he will have an
overwhelming majority of supporters
in the county convention, and that his
nomination will come in such manner
as to make his election almost certain.

BOWIE, MD, April Goth, 1901.
The friends of Capt George NJ Smith,
of Bowie district, are pushing him forward
with all possible earncstness for the nomi-
nation for State Senator at the election
this Fall. The Captains unboundcd pop
ularity assures him bis home district, and,
from present indications. there is every
possibility of his delegates being chosen
by acclamation. Not alone is his popu-
larity and strength recognized in his home
district, but it is asserted that the logic Of
his nomination is already recognized by
the leaders in enough districts to assure
him the nomination at the County Con-
vention. His close identification with all
classes-the laborer. farmer. merchant.
lawyer, etc.,-places him in the light of
being the strongest candidate that could
be advanced for the State Senatorship
nomination. His views ON questions in
volving the public welfare have always
proved to be broad and sound. He now
stands unalterablv for a constitutional
convention While his, the 14th election
district, is conceded to be the banner Re-
publican district of the county, his friends
claim that he will himself receive Il major
