Intelligence OF the Ant.

An interesting demonstration of the
Intelligence Of the ant was made by a
student in the biological department OF
the University of Pennsylvania. The
young man constructed a roadway two
feet in length Of metal and divided it
into two parallel paths, separated by a
high partition. One Of the paths he
painted red and the other blue. and at
their end, in plain view, he put a NOR
sci of rich cake, says the Philadelphia
Record. Then he set an ant at the be-
ginning of the roadway. The ant at
once made for the cake over the red
path, whereupon the student turned on
a lamp under his mechanism, and heat
ed the path to an uncomfortabl BILE de-
gree. The ant kept on and finally Sc
cured the cake, but on it's return it
must have told itself that it had had a
mighty uncomfortable journey. Several
hours later the student brought it out
again, another morsel of cake being set
at the end of the roadway. The ant
thought moment and then started for
the cake over the blue path. 1t re-
membered that the red one had been
hot. TO prove still more conclusively
that it remembered. the student next
blocked up the blue path, whereupon
the ant did without the cake rather
than venture after it by the red one.

A Young Detective.

There is ten-year old boy in Boston
whose mother thinks he is destined to
become noted detective. One day he
was begging for permission to try his
hand at mending broken umbrella
over which his father was working, and
at last he was sent out Of the room on
an errand.
When he returned, his father and
mother were talking, and the umbrel.
Ia had vanished.
II know where you've put it." he said
after q glance around the room. you've
put it in that closet, and"-
"Well, where else should put it?''
demanded the father impatiently. But
the mother waited for her boy to fin
ish.
II know it's there" he said triumph
antly, because whenever you open the
closet door that photograph on the end
of the bookshelf falls down, and its
down now. And know it was father
put it in, for mother would have stooC
the picture up again."-Youth's Com

INTOXICATED COWS.
Strong Temperance Lesson Tauxh,

Strong Temperance Lesson Taught
by Florida Bovines.
l want to tell you of a most exciting
affair which took place here at Bron-
son, Fla, in this neck of woods, says
correspondent Of Christian Work. 1t
was a ferocious combat between two
Of Farmer Hawkins intoxicated cows,
causing the death of one after des-
perate conflict that would put fight
Of enraged bulls to the blush.
Mr.. Hawkins lives four miles from
here and prides himself upon his fine
stock. He makes lots of cane sirup
also. In the grinding season most Of
the farmers in this country make beer
for home consumption from the cane
''skimmings," but Hawkins is a stanch
teetotaler and vowed he would give
the "skimmings" to his COWS rather
than have them used to make beer.
So he filed the trough full the other
afternoon, not dreaming Of the tragic
consequences to follow. Soon two of
his pet cows came up and began drink
ing the strange liquid. 1t tasted good,
and the cows wanted more. Soon they
had goodly ''jags" on, and they then
became belligerent.
One plunged at the other, trying to
get possession of the trough. The 9th
er, with below of defiance, gored her
antagonist in the side. The first COW
turned tail for a moment and then
came rushing back, pinning the other
COW to post and goring her frightful-
ly in the belly. The Infatuated animals
then beloved and plunged at each 9TH
er and fought with deadly earnestness.
This was kept up for half an hour,
when one was knocked down in a dy-
ing condition and the other was just
able to walk around and below tri-
umphantly. The men folks heard the
uproar, but did not get to the scene in
time to stop the conflict. Mr.. Haw-
kins is out one COW, but has gained lots
Of experience and is more of a teeto-
taller than ever.

lasted an hour. Then Marmaduke
threw his weight against the Federal
right. Brown ordered one cannon to
the right, with three Iowa companies
to protect it, but the bold artillery cap
tain ventured too far, and, although its
fire did terrible execution, the raiders
were tempted to silence it by bold
rush. Twenty of Shelby's men dashed
for the gun. Their leader, Major Bow
man, was shot down with revolver
by Captain Lands when he demanded
surrender, but the indomitable raider
turned as he lay in his blood and,
drawing revolver, shot Lands.
Two Iowa captains were also mortal
ly wounded in defense of the. gun,
which at last fell into the hands Of
Shelby, and Collins turned it upon the
former owners Meanwhile farther to
the right the raiders came to halt be-
fore stockade built around the acad-
envy. Colonel Emmett Macdonald had
chosen the task of carrying the stock

A~VOs
a I dawn Jan. 8, 1868. the Federal
|iA garrison of Springfield, Mo-,
lined up along the ramparts
which blocked the four streets
opening off the public square. Confed-
crate raiders swooping down upon the
Isolated post had spread warning of
danger by the impetuous rush of their
scouting vanguard some hours before
Rumor from the outposts declared
that the Federals would be- overrun by
numbers, but If the case was hopeless
the garrison could at least emulate
Colonel Mulligan's heroic defense Of
the neighboring town of Lexington in
1861. At Springfield some of the works
planned to protect the post were not
yet finished. The garrison was lmea-
ger one to contend with the 5000 ene-
mics said to be marching to the attack.
The raiders mustered 1000 sabers in
fact, but even then outnumbered and
putclassed the garrison.
At the first moment of alarm General
Brown, the commandant at Springfield,
summoned every ablebodied man in the
town to the aid of the regular soldiers,
the Eighteenth Iowa regiment. From
the cOnvalescents in hospital he
drummed up corps nicknamed the
"Quinine brigade" Armed civilians
and militia companies who fell into
line made up a muster of 1900 men.
Three cannon mounted upon wheels
picked up in a blacksmith shop were
rolled into the fort, which stood In the
pathway Of the assaulting column
south Of the town.
The leader of the raiders, General
Marmaduke, selected the south side as
the first point of attack because the
ground was open prairie and his horse
men could ride up in solid column. This
column moved slowly, led by cloud
Of skirmishers. The center of Marina
dukes line was made up of Joe Shell
by's noted brigade, with Collins equal
~ noted flying artillery. Collins fired
an occasional shot, but the Iowa sharp
shooters made his gunners cautious in
exposing themselves while sighting at
long range.
Before Marmaduke closed in for bat
tie some companies Of militia cavalry
rode out against his right wing, but
were unable to check its steady march.
The artillery in the fort at the head of
the street swept the roadway with
shells and forced the Confederate cen
ter to fall back. Marmaduke saw that
it was not to be an easy ride into
Springfield. The preliminary action
