An Ant For n Pet.

One of the queerest little pets ever
seen Is the tame ant belonging to q well
known scientist. This man keeps tribes
of ants in nests which he has made
himself and feeds them with honey or
sugar through a tube that connects
with the nests. One day he saw that
one of the ants kept coming into the
tube to eat up the honey in the glass
bulb at the end. When he took out the
cork that closed the bulb, the insect
came to look for the food, and he offer
ed 1t some honey ON the point of a
needle, says the New York Tribune.
The ant shrank back at first, then
drew nearer, feeling about with it's an
tenna, until 1t reached the needle
Soon it learned to take the honey off
its keepers finger although ants are
among the most timid of living things,
and new odor or the least movement
outside their nests usually drives these
little insects away.
This ant is now so tame that it quits
the bulb as soon as the cork is removed
and goes to find the honey on the sci
entists finger When it's meal is over
1t does not try to hurry away, but
waits till its master lifts it on brstle
and carries it back to its nest.

powers of the Board of Health is pub

important ever enacted by the local
authorities, and Notwithstanding its
length it deserves careful perusal by
every resident and property-owner of

The Board OF Health has all the prep
aratons made to enforce the new law,
therefore it behooves all whom it may
affect to acquant themselves with its
several provisions, inasmuch as failure
to comply with its requirements will not
be excused on the ground of ignorance
of the law

Asked to Leave the Union.

The Lehigh Valley Coal Company has
notified all foremen and bosses that
their services with the company will be
more appreciated If they resign from the
Mine Workers Union. The company
officials say that man who has the in
terest of his employer at heart cannot
serve another and be faithful to both
One operator said: The interest of the
union are in almost an opposite direc-
tion. A foreman or boss holds con
lidential position with u coal company,
and still he is supposed to do the bidding
of the union. 1t is impossible, hence
the request.
Among the miners the belief is gener-
al that the big coal companies are get
ting ready to oppose the demands of the
miners for joint conference and new
scale of wages, and the first step in that
direction is to get the foremen and
bosses out Of the union.
Meetings were held yesterday by the
men affected by the order. The black
smiths, liremeu, engineers and other
general work men will refuse to obey the
order and fghti If necessary, being assur-
ed of the support of the unions. The
fire bosses, stable bosses and under fire.
men who belong to the United Mine
Workers will probably resign from that
organization.

reciprocity treaty with France, which
the Senate failed to act upon, may be
xatified, to September "a, 1902. Pres
idsnt Mckinley regards this and other
reciprocity treaties as absolutely NEG
assary for the extension of foreign
markets for American goods, and, be-
sides, this extension has headed off a
scheme of several European govern
ments to combine for the purpose of
waging commercial war against the

chat France will not join in such a
scheme unless the reciprocity treaty
with her fails to be ratified within the
