Ants Invent q Wagon.

There are good many ants OF diff
fereut varieties on the lot at my coun
try place. near Covlngton. and last
year | began to make a systematic
study Of their habits" says q contribu
tor to the New Orleans Times Demo
crat. Near one Of my flower beds is
q colony OF small red ants that are ex-
tremely industrious In collecting food
and they frequently perform the most
astonishing engineering feats in trans
porting heavy burdens 10 their home.
Not long ago l watched a party of
about dozen who had found the body
OF small spider and were dragging II
toward the nest The spider had hairy
legs. which stuck out In every direction
and caught on obstacles, greatly re
tardlng progress. For several min
utes the ants toiled away with their
awkward booty and then stopped and
seemed TO hold a council. minute
fragment Of dry leaf was lying on the
ground. and presently they all lay hold
and pulled the spider on top OF II.
Then they seized the edges and slid II
along without difficulty"

PAYING FOR A MEAL.
10 Was Worth . Shilling to Pick
Those Bones.

Colonel Ebenezer Sproat, OF Revolu-
tonary fame. was born and bred in
Middleboro. Mass. He was always
fond Of joke and was quick 10 seize
an opportunity TO indulge his prOpen-
sity. as the following incident. related
by Dr. Hildreth. well illustrates. His
father. also a Colonel Sproat. kept s
tavern. One day while Ebenezer was
at home on a furlough three private
soldiers. on their return from the seat
Of war. called for cold luncheon.
Mrs. Sproat set on the table some
bread and cheese with the remnants OF
the family dinner, which her son
thought rather scanty fare for hungry
men. he felt little vexed that the
defenders OF the country were not
more bountifully supplied. The sol
diers. after satisfying their appetltes.
asked him how much they should pay.
Ebenezer said he would ask his moth
er. He found her in the kitchen.
Mother" he said. how much is It
worth 10 pick those bonesY'
About a shilling, l guess" she an
swered.
The young officer returned to the SOL
diers. and. taking from the barroom till
8 shillings and smiling genially upon
them. gave each man one and with
good wishes sent them on their way.
Mrs. Sproat soon after came In and
asked Ebenezer what he had done with
the money for the soldiers dinner.
In apparent amazement he exclaim-
ed: Money! Did l not ask you what
II was worth to pick those bones, and
you said shilling? | thought II little
enough. for the bones were pretty bare.
and | handed the men the money
from the till. and they are gone"
Mrs. Sproat could not find heart to
reprove her favorite son for this mis-
Interpretation OF her words, and then
she. too. loved a joke. and so, after an
instant's glum look. she laughed and
said II was all right--Youth's Com
panion.

Harbor condemnation suits. because
OF the fact that sugar lands are being
taken and exceedingly absurd values
are placed on them by the government
experts. The Bishop estate owns 500
acres of cane land which the United
States is taking for use as a naval sta
ton. and in the suit now on trial in
the courts here, alleged experts plac-
ed the value Of this land at from So
to $50 an acre. 1t is admitted that
the land will produce eight tons of
sugar to the acre. and the Bishop
estate claims the property TO be worth
six hundred dollars an acre.

BISHOP POTTER KISSED.
Lady Henry Somerset Arraigns Hin
for Certain Utterances.

At the meeting of the W. C. T. U. at Port
land. Me-, yesterday Lady Somerset called
on the church people to rise up and band
together and stand on the side of temper
ance She arraigned Bishop Potter for pub
lished words, part of which she read from
newspaper. that the poor people and la
boring men live such contracted and monot-
onous lives that he does not much blame
them for occasionally getting drunk just to
even things up. This was greeted with
storm of Kisses.
She said that it must first be assumed
that Bishop Potter was correctly quoted.
which she herself doubted. If he really said
the words, or even words that were of the
same general puport, 1t was a strange per-
version Of the Christian ministry, she said.
A clergyman should not rail at those who
are striving to uplift the downtrodden and
who might go to the multi-mfllionaires OF
New York and ask them to give Of their
millions toward the establishment Of some
thing that would go toward ameliorating
this humdrum condition.
