TRAITS OF SIAMEsE ANTS.
Hitherto Unknown to the
Scientists.

A new trait possessed by ants has
been discovered by French traveller
in some of these insects he found on
his journeyings through Siam These
creatures were small, of gray color
and lived In damp places. They
travelled often and in troops which
seemed to be under the direction of
commander who rode on "horse-
back" M. Meissen. the Frenchman
who noticed this popularity, was at
tracted TO these groups by discover
ing that each company contained a
large ant that Travelled more rapidly
than the others. Observing them
more closely. he noticed that each
large ant always carried small gray
ant upon its back, though the re-
mainder OF the troops were on foot.
This mounted ant would ride out
from the line, travel swiftly along the
column from head to rear and APP
parently overlook their maneuvers.
M. Meissen concluded from what he
saw that this species of ant, while on
its travels, is under the direction of
commander, though such "ant
horses" as the general rides must be
rare and valuable. for he scarcely
ever found more than one mounted
ant in q colony.

EDITORIAL COMMENT.

The school teachers of good many
Jersey municipalities will look with
envy upon the lot of their fellow
workers in Perth Amboy. There is
absolute harmony at that place since
the superintendent of schools refused
to accept raise in salary unless the
teachers were given larger remunera-
tion, and in consequence the Board of
Education increased the remuneration
all around. That's the kind of pro-
fessional ethics that is seldom found
outside of the books. Newark Even
ing News.
The Office of "dog catcher" for
Camden is not desirablesone, espec'
tally when it is not given the police
protection which it demands and de-
serves. The city is overrun with
worthless ours. and the public health
requires that they should be gotten
rid of as speedily as possible. The
"dog catcher" should have assistance,
not resistance, in the performance OF
this necessary duty. Camden Courier.

LATE FASHION NOTES.
Pretty Features of the Smart Modes,
Popular Costume Designs and
other FtnerY.

That fashions are undergoing mate
rial changes is shown by the tenden-
cies toward very full skirts, bouffant
sleeves and sashes of fiowered ribbon,
saws the Delineator. Nearly all the
new modes are in some way character
lied by the stole effects, and tucks, in
some form or other, are introduced in
many designs.
Linen gowns are conspicuous among
the smartest modes, and those who de-
sire novelty in these costumes will talOe
advantage of what are termed the
knickerbocker designs. Mercerized eff
fects are afeature not only bf the new
lines, but of almost the entire array of
summer fabrics.
Very popular is the shirt waist cos
tune, which is fashioned in silk, light
woolens and wash goods, the decora-
tion depending largely upon individual
taste. Waists and skirts of the same
material are more fashionable than
when made of different goods.
Foulard silks, tussore silks and pom
gees are more in evidence than ever,
and the new shirt waist materials sur
pass anything previous seasons have
produced.
Lace is now embellished with an
other decoration or lined with chiffon,
soft silk or satin to make it more eff
fective. The popularity of antique
laces is remarkable.
Braids were never so attractive as
they are this season; the fiber or vege-
table braidis observation-disclosures.
The dainty dresses of sheer fabrics
for summer wear will be characterized
by lingerie tucks and lace insertion.

GETTING HIS SEA LEGS.
Life ON the Ocean Wave Has It's Draw
backs for the Young Navy
Recruit.

The phrase acquiring the sea hab-
it," which is frequently used in con
nection with the training of recruits
in the navy, carries to the lay mind
something of an impression of a
rolling gait, a chronic hitching at the
waistband of the trousers, saline
vocabulary and canny knowledge of
the brands of eating tobacco. The
navy department knows the epoch as
one in which the recruit is learning
to make himself comfortable aboard
ship, and during which he is liable
to fits of depression, in which more
things than sea water look blue. 1t
is the period in which the romance
of life on the rolling deep becomes
temporarily obscured and life seems
hard.
During such q period the recruit is
likely to write to his family or his
congressman in such terms as seem to
warrant an abolition of the service,
End a considerable part of the work
of the navy department lies in as
suring inquiring friends that the re-
cruit will feel better when he gets
over 1t. If the investigation which is
made in each case of complaint hap
pens to cover some weeks, it is likely
to get to the recruit about the time
he is beginning to take notice and
enjoy himself, and he is quite willing
to admit that "things look different"
The present conditions of the serv-
ice which seem likely to be perma-
nent, says the Washington Times,
make it absolutely essential that the
enlistment contract shall be enforced
as strictly as it has been enforced
since the date of the executive order
which abolished the former privilege
of discharge by purchase.

A GENIUS OF PEACE.
Deliberately Lost His Position to De-
feat His Wife's Seaside
Vacation Plans.

"Do you see that seedy-looking chap
sitting on that bench over there?"
you mean the one with fringe on
open-work shoes?"
That's the one. Well, sir, he is the
most ingenious man in this big city"
ut doesn't seem to do him much
good" replied the other, writes Alex
Ricketts,, in the New Yo1& Times.
Don't, Ell? Why, sir, it's preserved
his happy home to him, even if he does
owe the butcher, and the landlord, and
the grocer, and everybody else. He
alone has succeeded in doing what
every man in this town, not to speak
about the country at large, would give
most anything to do. If true merit
and ability cut any ice with our be-
loved government he'd be at the head
of affairs this minute. Why, with his
marvellous sagacity and miraculous
success as a compromiser we'd never
hear Of any friction between this coun-
try and every other. Never sir, and
with no loss of dignity, either. Well,
sir, I believe that man could keep
peace in an old ladies' home"
whats he done that's so wonder
fulP"
''Why, he and his wife had the usual
argument this spring that disrupts
every family in the land. She was
bound and determined to spend his va
cation at the seaside, and he gently
but firmly insisted upon going to the
mountains. You know the rest. They
argued the matter, they disputed about
it, they squabbled over it, and they
quarreled. Neither would give in. The
breach between them grew wider and
wider. 1t became point of honor
with each to prevail. They became
more and more bitter. Reconciliation
seemed out of the question. And then,
sir, when that chasm seemed unbridge-
able, that mans superhuman ingenuity
came to the rescue. Profound peace
fell upon the battlefield, ecstatic bliss
succeeded strife, and delirious happi-
ness reigned again in that home, and
the children could eat their meals
without spending half the time dodg-
ing Dishes"
"Huh, suppose he gave in to her.
That's no trick. Every man does
that"
mo, sir. That would have left rank
ling wounds, fostering bitterness and
horrid memories to the defeated. But
he arranged it all so that neither was
defeated, neither was victorious"
'TmnoSsible Rut how P"
"He went, sir, deliberately to work
and lost his position. So they couldn't
afford to go to any place. Now, wasn't
he wizard to think of that?"

They have sixteen boxes in different
localities about the city and calls are
sent In by the patrolmen, being re-
oeived at headquarters. at intervals of
i've minutes all night long. Keys to
the boxes are also to be kept in near

they can the fremen.
Bids for a patrol wagon and horses
are also being received. Steel cells
are being placed in the lookup and a
dormitory is being arranged for the
patrolmen on reserve. There will be
two men on reserve both night and
day. A room is being fitted up for
the men which contains pool table
and other means for amusement.
We quote these facts not that we
would advocate having these improve

IS bound to come within the next few
years Perth Amboy is at present en-
gagged in getting its fire department
on modern basis and this will take
some time and considerable expense.

IL well. Our police department comes
next. however. When it is considered
that in the census of 1900 Plainfield
had but little over 15, 600 population
and Perth Amboy had over 18, 600 with
the latter city probably exceeding the
former by 5000 at the present time it
