Lesson Thoughts.
Fruits and flowers thrive only un.
der the proper conditions of soil nnd
moisture and sunshine; men grow
physically strong only by observing
correct hygenic rules Of exercise and
diet; and we cannot expect to grow
In grace except as we feed upon the
Word and daily exercise the grace
we have.
We are always krowlng.-either
unto the measure of the stature Of
the fulness of Christ" or in the like.
ness of sin. These growths are in
opposite directions, and each advance
In the one takes us so much farther
from the other. Which way are you
growing?

DEATH OF A ROYAL ANT.
FOR Fourteen Years She Was Cared For
hx Sir Lohn Lubbock.


Sir John Lubbock, the distinguished
naturalist, succeeded in preserving two
ant queens of Formica Fusca to great
age, one Of these having reached the
vast antiquity OF over fourteen years.
Her longevity was due to the careful
protection extended by Sir John aud
his attendants; for 1t is true of emmet
ierds, as well as domestic animals. that
they thrive under human protection.
AS greeted Sir John one morning. in
response to an invitation to breakfast
with him and some of his friends, In
1ulred at once about the health Of his
ancient queen, writes DR.. ii. G. Nc
Cook.
ALAS! DOCTOR" he replied, II have
sad news. My old queen is dead"
"DeadY" l exclaimed; "that is sad
news. indeed. When did she die?"
"Only last night" was the response.
"and / have not yet told even my wife
about 1t, for dare say she will feel as
badly over the loss as l do"
Perhaps this may seem trivial to the
ordinary lay mind; but to Sir John and
TO the writer 1t was matter OF some
moment, for it ended one of the most
interesting experiments as to the pro-
longed life of invertebrate creatures
that the world has ever known.
MAY l see the queen?' asked.
"Yes; she is just here in the adjoin-
ing room"
Turning aside from the waiting COM
pany of eminent persons who were to
sit with us at breakfast, We went to
see the dead queen. She was In one
Of the chambers or open spaces exca-
waited by the workers within one of the
artificial formicaries which Sir John
had provided. She lay on her back,
with her six legs turned upward, and
bent in the rigor of death. A crowd
of workers surrounded her. Some were
licking her, as though in loving care of
her toilet. One would nip an antenna,
another leg, and thus by various So
licitations they sought 20 arouse her.
1t was curious, and touching as well,
to watch their methods of expressing
their manifest emotion.
"They have not yet accepted the
fact" said Sir John, that their queen
is really dead. Indeed, l doubt If they
are fully persuaded thereof. They have
been surrounding her. and trying to get
some response from her ever since she
died" And thus it was still when We
left the royal death room.-New Yorl

Plain Talk to British workmen.

Few men would dare to talk to mass
meeting of workingmen as John Burns
himself workingman-talked to one in
