Rationale FIaRa.

After the rattlesnake had been adopt
ed as an emblem and had appeared on
the flags OF several of the colonies Ben
jamin Franklin defended the device on
the grounds that the rattlesnake Is
found only in America; that all SER
penis cmblems were considered by the
ancients To be symbols OF wisdom; that
his bright. lidless eyes signify vigil
lance: that he never attacks without
first giving fair warning of his pres
ence; that his rattles, while distinct,
are so firmly joined that they cannot
be separated without being ruined for
ever, and that as he grows older the
rattles increase I'm number. as 1t was
to be hoped the colonies would.
Indeed this idea was made use Of In
flag device which represented rat
tlesnake with nine joints. each joint
lettered with red silk. The head was
marked IN. f." New England. the re-
naming sections IN. ", In. j" pa"

a very pretty little scene. l noticed q
doe lying down by herself In a grassy
hollow. and as | passed her at dis
lance OF about fifty yards II struck me
as singular that she kept her head so
low down that could only see the top
Of 1t on level with her back. Walk
ing round TO get better sight, l saw
a jackdaw standing on the turf before
her, very busily pecking at her face.
With my glass | was able to watch her
movements very closely. He pecked
round her eyes, then her nostrils, her
throat and in act every part of her
face, and, just as man when being
shaved turns his face this way and
that under the gentle guiding touch of
the BARRIERS fingers and lifts up his
chin to allow the razor to pass beneath
1t, so did the doe raise and lower and
turn her face about to enable the bird
to examine and reach every part with
his bill. Finally the daw left the face
and, moving round. jumped on the
deers shoulders and began a minute
search In that part. Having finished
this, he jumped on to the head and
pecked at the forehead and round the
bases of the ears. The pccking done,
he remained for some seconds sitting
perfectly still, looking very pretty with
the graceful red head for a stand, the
does long ears thrust out on either
side OF him, Birds and Man.

Amazon Ant Gardens.

DR.. +. Tie contributes to Engler's
Jahrbuch supplement 800 some inter
esting observations on "ant gardens
IN the Amazon region. where they
abound on n large number of goody
plants. They are generally spherical in
form and about the size of walnut.
They are formed 10y several species of
ant. which appear to collect the seeds
of many different plants and to SOW
them in these nests, covering up the
seedlings with humus when they begin
to terminate. In the structure of these
"ant epiphytes" the foliage and the
roots display characters which espe-
cially adapt them for the situation in
which they grow and promote also the
protection of the ants themselves in
their nest Quite II number of the
epiphytes were found us deniZens OF
the ant gardens and nowhere else.

tunity but another name for arduous,


unremitting toll which compels re-
suits. Mrs. Decker Hoppough then
sang with sweetness and expression
an "Orchard Cradle Song" followed
by Winfield Gardner with an essay
on Education Not a Foe to Labor, ;"
in which he said "Some bright per-
sons think that a higher education
has a tendency to make young men
and women lazy For this reason
they discourage a thorough course of
study, academic or collegiate for
those who are to engage in mechani-
cal or mercantile pursuits. They
say, and with some show of reason,
that the time from sixteen to twenty
five years of age is worth more TO the
boy in his life pursuit than it can
possibly be in academy or college.
Hence there has been actual embar-
rassment to college-bred young men
in finding positions in the working
world. Mary business men believe
that the educated class are less prac-
tical and unable to render SO valu-
able service as those who have spent
the years from sixteen TO twenty
five in becoming familiar with their
chosen pursuit. There is little real
truth in this idea and youth should
beware of entertaining such senti-
ments. Education does not foster
laziness any more than il does pride.
And il does not harbor the latter,
for we find the most learned men
aud women the most modest and un-
assuming. The more they know the
less they see of which to be proud.
Learning modifies estimate of self
and discourages egotism. And edu-
cation dignifies labor. The scholar
knows that labor is the source of
wealth of mind or purse, the pro-
moter of health and happiness, that
idleness promotes poverty, misery
and unhappiness, and he knows this
much better than does the uncul-
tured person. He honors hard work
and respects the man who is willing
to put it into his daily life. To get
an education requires work, and hard
work. No person ever rode over
the broad fields of knowledge on
'flowery beds of ease No, close APP
plication and unremitting toll are
necessary to acquire knowledge. A
lazy boy or girl never yet got much
of an education. They prefer ignor
ance To mental labor and poverty to
manual labor. IT is not culture that
promotes laziness so much as the
want OF it, . The whole school then
joined in pleasing chorus. f. ID.
Smith of Greenville followed with a
pleasing, practical talk on The
Mission of the Public School, which
was greatly appreciated, but as the
gentleman already bears a heavy
load of oratorical .laurels il is not
necessary TO add to the burden, only
saying that his remarks bore the
impress of sincerity. A Yachting
