hrixtocrafic Ants.

The sfavehoiding ants are OF several
kinds and differ greatly IN the manner
in which they treat their yassais. Some
make them do all the work under tho
their labe.s. while still others have
fallen into such habits Of luxury as to
be unable or unwilling to wait upon or
even to feed themselves and are car
ried about and provided With food by
their body servants. In many cases
this sybaritism Is the mere ostentat,ous
love of being served. Tie incapacity Is
not physical, but moral. and arises
from an Gristocratic aversion to any
kind Of mental labor.

Word blindness.

Some curious instances of the physic-
al defects Of WORD blindness" are CIV
en- in the Lancet. The disease Is for
tunately uncommon. In one case the
sufferer, an Englisman, thfrty-four
years Of age. who knew Greek, Latin
and French well, suddenly lost all
knowledge Of English. though he could
read and understand Greek perfectly
and Latin and French in a rather
smaller degree. Another and almost
more curious case was that of man
who lost the power of reading at sight.
This patient was able to write accu-
rately from dictation, but was COM
pletely unable to read what he had
written. Word blindness Is apparently
akin to color blindness, but Is certainly
attended by much more incouTenient
consequences.

The first movement to appro-
pirate money for the rivers and
harbors in Congress was led by

like appropriation, and ST, 0O0,-

There is rising tide of popular
and praiseworthy indignation
against the sham life which pre-
vades modern society. There is
too eager a rush for money, too
intense a love for display
Thoughtful people everywhere are
beginning to call halt. Ameri-
cans are living at a pace that kills.
We have placed the dollar above
the man; luxury as more valuable
than contentment. As one writer
says: "The nation is going to
hell in a Pullman" While it is
right to be optimistic of the future
and proud of the real glories of
the past, we should not be blind
to the real dangers of the present.
We should mend our ways. AS a
great writer puts it: "Be worthy,
notrespectable; wealthy, not rich.
Be yourself, assume nothing you
do not possess. :

dence was Furnishing him for misuse
Of talents by inficting disease of the

It will be some consolation to the

know that the disease is one which
even Providence could not infiict upon

WILSON ON CROPS.

Says Corn Is in Bad Way, but

Fair. ..,.ag..- :. ..,,S-s

Washington, D. G., July 16.-secretary
Wilson, who has just returned from a trip
that included Ohio, Indiana, Illinois; Iowa,
Minnesota and South Dakota; said to-day
that while the farming conditions are
generally good and some Of the crops
have a large yield, the corn crop will
be short.
1.-The abnormally cold weather. he said,
has retarded the development Of the
corn crop. Along the valleys and high
waters the crop has been destroyed and
on the level lands that have been sat
urated the corn will not mature.
1.-The best corn is along the dry rolling
lands, but even there the cool season
has prevented the crop from being what
1T should be at this time. We may, have
an average crop If the weather in the flu
ture is favorable, but If it continues cold,
It is hard to say to what extent there
will be a shortage.
.'The cool weather has favored the
growth of oats, wheat and barley, and
that class of products is generally good,
altho the outlook for the farmer is, on
the whole. hardly so promising as at this
time last year. Ct. f..s5ss "
eve have been paying $s,0O0,00o an
