SOCIAL INSTINCT OF ANTS.
Insects Who Preferred Duty to the
Call of Pleasure.

From the International World.
A swarm of Formica pratensis was closely
pressed In it's nest by an army of the same
species, and crowds Of alarmed defenders
issued from the entrances to the nest and
flew to take part in the fight. Like Satan,
the tempter of old, / placed near them a
beautiful drop of honey on a piece of paper.
At any other time the honey would have
been covered in few instants with ants
gorging themselves; but this time numer-
Gus working ants came upon It. tasted It
for scarcely a second and returned to it
restlessly three or four times. Conscien-
tiousness. the feeling of duty, invariably
prevailed over gormandism. and they left
the honey to go and be killed while defend
ing the community. ! am bound to ewn,
however, that there are ants less social, In
whom gormand does prevail
Compared to the manners Of other So
c1able animals, and especially to those OF
man, the manners of ants exhibit pro-
found and fundamental aggregation OF
facts Of conveyance, due TO their social
life. Let me mention devotion, the instinct
i've sentiment of duty, slavery, torture war
alliances, the raising of cattle, gardening
harvesting and even social degeneresence
through the attraction Of tain harmful
means of enjoyment. IL would be ridicu-
lous and erroneous TO see in the fufillment
reasoning, the result of calculated refec-
ton, analogous to ours. The fact that each
is fixed and circumscribed within one spe-
cies. well the fataiistic character it
has in that species. proves this superabun-
dantly. But 1t would be as grave mistake
to refuse to recognize the deep natural
laws that are concealed under this conver-
gence. Is the case different as regards our
actions though they are infinitely more
plastic and moee complex individually? /
do not believe 1t.
1 have been unable to give more than a
short sketch of the social life of ants. Let
each one study 1t for himself, and he will

that comes from sounding the secrets and
laws of nature, while at the same time he
will enjoy the most delightful satire upon
human wretchedness and will perceive at
least the main lines of a social example
that we ought to be able to initiate. though
cannot do so, account of the too
large dose of egotistical and ferocious in
stincts that We have Inherited from our am

REMARKABLE RACIAL FEUDs.
Antagonism Engendered Between
Prussians and Poles.
Berlin Letter to the London Leader.

Berlin Letter to the London Leader.
Hardly day passes but the newspapers
contain striking evidence of the antagon-
istic spirit which is being engendered be-
tween the Poles and the Prussians Last
week 1t came to the ears of the publishers
of Polish paper circulating in Westphalia
that one of their compositors was about to
marry German girl They considered that
this stamped him a traitor to Poland
and although he had served them faithfully
for many years they dismissed him on the
Westphalian coal mines, and in order to
further the amalgamatlon Of the races the
authorities have issued regula tions to the
effect that person shall be employed un-
derground who is not proficient in the Ger
man language. The Poles obstinately re-
fuse to know word of German when they
happen to be called up TO make statements
in public.
A few days ago Polish miner had to
give evidence in Westphallan police court
He was Of course, innocent as newly
born babe Of any knowledge Of German un-
til the magistrate threatened to report the
case to his employers, who would have been
compelled to dismiss him. Thereupon his
German came back, and he replied fuently
to all the questions put to him. His wife
had been present during the hearing Of the
case, and was waiting for him in the pas
sage just outside the court room door, AS
soon as he appeared she bitterly reproa ched
him for having given way, and to render
her arguments more forcible, soundly boxed
his ears. She then kicked him with such
vigor that he had to race down the corridor
into the street to escape the attentions Of
his patriotic better half.

Now that the ceremonies were over in the
abbey it was funny sight to see lords and
ladies' peers, lords mayors, ETC.. hurrying
away from the abbey bent upon seeing the
return of the procession. They had been
in their seats at the abbey since in the
morning. OF course, the sidewalks were
blocked and it was ridiculous enough to see
them walking down the middle of the street
between the great rows of troops and with
thousands of people watching them in their
hurry. Men in court dress, knickerbock-
ers, lace ruffs, silk stockings and jeweled
buckles, and women in satin gowns, low
neck and short sleeves (skirts, of course
trailing in the dusD and long bit of tulle
floating out in the air from the three white
feathers fastened securely in the hair. They
all looked queer enough and the pompous
offcla!s, mayors, etc. who walked down in
their wonderful court costumes. their fat,
red faces simply shining and their heavy
capes OF red, gold or purple velvet falling
from the shoulders, where they were
curely held with massive gold clasps. Even

to the great crowds on the walks there was
no cholce but the middle of the street.
Soon the procession started on it's return to
the palace, the king and queen both wear
ing their crowns of priceless jewels and
both looking particularly happy.
one of the prettiest sights of the whole
Gay was the royal carriage containing
Prince Edward and Prince Albert, the two
young sons of the Prince and Princess of
Wales. These were beautiful boys in their
immaculate white sailor suits, and as their
carriage rolled past both to and from West
minister Abbey they held their little hands
steadily at their temples, saluting the long
lines of troops, to whom they are officers,
with the now honorary rank of lieutenants.
Those Lovely Youngsters.
1t was charming little scene and a
murmur Of What lovely children fol-
lowed them on all sides and indeed they
were. 1t was thoroughly interesting day,
and the illuminations at night turned CEN
trail London into a city of fairyland. Lines
OF lights along the house fronts and the
royal initials, in blazing letters above the
crown, were seen everywhere. No traffic
was allowed on the streets after 7 o'clock
and had 1t been allowed it could have made
no headway through that swaying mass of
happy humanity. Even wearineSs could
not keep back the people from seeing all.

IA FLAX
FIBRE
PLANT
Is Just About Secured for
This City.
Mr.. Wilcox of the FIGURING
Mills Co FaYOrS Progress.

There was solid lot of Salem bust
ness men Ia attendance Wednesday at
four o'clock, when the Salem Push club
held its regular semi.monthly session.
Before IL was over they had got great
big hustle on to land fax fibre propo-
sition.
The committee reported that the
sawmill cite for Livesay & Sons was Sc
cured and closed.
In relation to securing the Flax Fibre
Plant to be established by f. Bosse Of
Green Bay, Wis, following was dis
! losed
That the company wishes free lease
OF the old mill fifteen months, chance to
use the grounds TO rot and dry straw
end store fibre in the large mill, the
only charge for the property to be one
ba'f the taxes on the property and the
expense of getting the water into the
ditch. This would only cost about $500.
Mr.. Bosse expects to bring the seed
from Belgium, Instruct farmers how to
plant, fetch machinery to Salem and
install it, turn on the power and 90 to
work. II they could make such fibre
here as he believed they could they
would put in n 500, 900 linen factory.
Mr.. Bosse was invited to address the
club, and while he speaks Belgian and
French, IL was not difficult TO understand
him in English. lie is man Of energy
ofcharacter stamped upon every feature
He inspired confidence among all pres.
ent and his argument was plain and di
rect.
Good illx makes good fibre. Good lax
fibre will make good thread. Good
thread makes good linen cloth. They
would put in 100 to $50 acres Of fax on
rented land tho first year. A linen fac.
tory TO make 10000 yards of linen week
would require 'en thousand tons OF fibre. |
With seed the crop will yield two tons to |
the acre at $l2 to 20 a ton.
Mr.. Theo. b. Wilcox, on behalf Of the |
Salem FIGURING Mills Co., in granting
all the requests Of the club, closed his
letter with these encouraging words:
'ln granting these terms, have aimed
to meet your wishes as freely as can
see my way to, and II there Is anything
which have not granted that is essen.
