The South Bend Times says editor
tally: 1t was the late Hon. Glenn Stu
debaker who was won't to say that it
required greater care to keep an estate
intact than to create it. The truth
of this has, In sense been strinkingly
brought to public view in Northeast

banking institutions created by An

Clellan, both dead. These two men
were successful lawyers and dnan-

Each established two banks, which

be credited to them.

In the dispute now in progress rela-

which conservative men, whether
union or nonunion, can hardly dis

Clever Ants.

of some ants he had observed: "a
pie was placed on shelf in cup,
board, with a wide ring of molasses
encircling the plate. The ants die
covered it, and, wanting the RE for
breakfast, they set out to getit. They
first marched about the ring, leaving
an ant here and there at places which
were seen to be less wide than the
rest of the ring. Then they carefully
selected the narrowest place; and 60
ing to an old nailhole in the wall,
they formed an endless stream of por.
ters, each bringing a grain Of the
plaster. They built a causeway
through the molasses of these bits Of
lime, and in three hours from the
time of discovery, they were eating
the pie.

Curious Worms.

The "sheep rot" is due to a fat,
pear-shaped creature, which lives itslife
for some time in the gail bladder and
the gall ducts of sheep. This creature
has one of the most eventful and
changeful lives of any animal known
to us. 1t commences, if one can COM
mence anywhere in a circle, with the
large and comparatively fat, leaf
shaped, black, and sluggish denizen of
the sleeps bile ducts. This creature
lays countless eggs, which pass out of
the body of the sheep; these eggs give
rise to little active Larvae, which find
their way to water and swim merrily
about. While swimming about the lit
tie immature parasites find and attack
some peaceful water snail, whose deli
cate integuments they perforate by
means of stylet situated close to the
mouth. And the curious fact is that a
particular water snail, not any water
snail, is invariably selected Boring
its way into the body of its involunta-
ry host, the little worm lodges itself in
the liver, which is soft, and therefore
offers good grazing with no trouble
With so little trouble indeed that the
parasite loses its alimentary canal al
together, and becomes a stomachless
thing full of egg balls. Each Of the
numerous egg balls grows, and becomes
another kind of larva, which ultimate.
ly finds its way out Of its parents
body by the simple process of cutting
its way out. To this daughter larval
form the name of Redia has been given
after the celebrated Italian Red
The Redi@ in their turn give rise with
in their bodies to a fourth form with a
tail, which leaves the snail and again
lives freely in the surrounding water
This, the Cercaria, finally becomes
quiescent, and covers itself up in a
toughish membrane. In thiscondition
it is accidentally devoured by sheep,
in whose liver it takes up its abode
and thus the vicious circle" ofparasi.
tism is completed.
