SOLDIERS AS GARDENERS.
The American Troops I'm the VS.
ayas Urged to Grow Vegetables.

ayaS
Brig. Gen. r. P. Hughes, commanding
the Department OF the Visayas, in the
Philippines, has issued an order advising
the soldiers to grow vegetables for their
own consumption. He says:
''Inasmuch as conditions warrant the
assumption that the troops will enjoy
greater permanency in location than form
erly, the department commander invites
attention of company commanders to the
fact that excellent vegetables ought to
be grown in these islands for at least
eight months of the year.
.'As those which do well during one por-
ton of the year may be burned by the
sun or rotted through excessive wet in
another, it is advised that experiments
from month to month, enquiry of the best
local authorities in the vicinity and per-
sistent effort be made to prepare the data
for the comfort of those who may come
hereafter, should our stay not be sutti-
ciently long for us to reap the benefit OF
our laborS.
''The subsistence department has a
moderate supply of seeds of various kinds
which will be distributed to those making
application to the chief commissary of
the department.

THE BOY CHORISTER.
Singing Masters Have Much Dihicuity
In Securing This Kind OF
Talent.

The forming Of boy choir seems TO |
be a matter of considerable difficulty. |
Singularly enough the Sunday school
furnishes very few recruits for this
purpose and in almost every instance
the choirmastcr is forced to apply TO
the public schools for boys.
When he has obtained the necessary |
permission he goes straight to the
classroom and sees the boy personally.
Then his troubles begin. Who would
believe that the pugnaeious, small
public schoolboy edges shyly oil when
it comes to a question Of dealing at
close range with a strange grown
up?" This. nevertheless. is just what
happens. But finally by dint Of much
persuasion and many allurements, sew
eral hundred boys are won over to ac-
cept an invitation TO visit the church.
So far, so good. But when the ap-
pointed day arrives, out of this goodly
number perhaps a single dozen lads
appear. The resolution of the rest
melted away when it came to the
crucial point of actually entering upon
an experience SO strange and unfamh-
lar saws a writer in London Truth.
When the voices of the dozen coura-
geous ones are tried, possibly half OF
them will be found worth the training.
So that the promising 200 or 500 re-
! cruits have dwindled under the choir
masters eye to a meager five or six
Thankful for this seant nucleus at
least, he begins training his little com
pany. 4 single rehearsal and then
more excuses begin to come in. This
hoy has decided that the rehearsals
take too much time from his play
That boy has CHANGED to mention the
choir practice at home and for some
reason or other his parents withdraw
him; and so on. until even the scant
remainder of the original array has
sunk to a mere two or three and, with
a sigh. the choirmaster thanks the
propitious fates for even these.
Then the master begins to exercise
his ingenuity in other directions. He
offers a bonus to the members who will
bring in other boys Sometimes this
device works admirably; the flourish
inc choir of st. James church, Of
which Mr.. Henry Hall is master, is
maintained almost wholly in this man
ner. In other instances, a boy viii per-
snade his friend to remain until ths
bonus is paid and then. having re
ceived his share Of the reward, th'
nsv recruit departs again on his way

HEAD OF WORKING ANT
Showing toothed mandibles,

sects grow them; vessels being needed
as receptacles for liquid food, man
learns the art of the potter, but the
curious honey ants transform them
selves into living bottles, to which the
working members of the commune re-
sort for refreshment.
The tools of insects, exquisitely
fashioned and finished. are much more
perfectly adapted for the purposes they
serve than are any contrived and
manufactured by human beings. but
there is disadvantage connected
with them-they cannot be laid aside.
The tools dominate the tool-bearers
and check development in any dlrec-
ton not connected with their use.
This leads to the extreme specializa-
tion we find among insects. The egg
producer, the queen of the termites.
although she possesses the usual num-
bcr Of limbs belonging to her species.
is totally incapable of locomotion. as
are the living bottles of the honey ants.
The queen lays eggs; she can do moth
ing else; the living bottles store up and
yield food to other members of the
formicary, and are as incapable of per-
