Art,tocrnttr Ants,

The slaveholding ants are Of several
kinds and differ greatly In the manner
In which they treat their vassals. Some
make them do all the work under the
direction of overseers: others share
their labors. while stlll others have
fallen into such habits OF luxury as to
be unable or unwilling TO wait upon or
even to feed themselves and are car
ried about and provided with food by
their body servants. In many cases
this sybaritlsm is the mere ostentatious
love of being served. The Incapacity IL
not physical. but moral, and arises
from an aristocratic aversion to any
kind OF mental labor.

Toad Stones,

Most readers have no doubt heard OF
the precious jewels which the toad car

toadstonCs. which We're in reality the
teeth of fossil fish. were formerly wCrn
In finger rings as protection against
poison.
1t was thought that the best stor 8
were those voluntarily elected by the
living toads: but, as the latter were not
addicted TO freely giving up their treas
ures in that way, 1t was necessary to
procure the coveted articles by other
means. and the recognized method was
to decapitate the hapless batrachlan
at the instant he swallows his brea h.
The feat naturally demanded consider
able celebrity, such as could only be ac-
quircd by constant practice. and It is
not reasonable, therefore. to assume
that. although the endeavors to gain
possession of the Jewels were perhaps
numerous. they must have Invariably
been unsatisfactory. especially TO the

Some curious Instances OF the physic.
al defects OF word blindness" are Civ
en- In the Lancet, The disease is for
tunately uncommon. In one case the
sufferer. an EnGiIsman. thirty-four
years OF age. who knew Greek. Latin
and French well. suddenly lost all
knowledge OF English. though he could
read and understand Greek perfectly
and Latin and French In rather
smaller degree. Another and almost
more curious case was that OF n man
who lost the power OF reading at sight.
This patient was able to write accu.
rately from dlctation. but was com.
pletely unable TO read what he had
written. Word blindness Is apparently
akin to color blindness. but is certainly
attended by much more inconvenient
consequences.
