INSECT MORAL QUALITIES.
Ants and Bees Display an Extraor-
binary Sense of Duty.

Ants and Bees Display an ExtraOr-
binary Sense of Duty.
There are insects, mostly parasitic,
which, like some men, only desire to
eat and drink, but among the social
insects, such as ants and bees, there
is high development of moral quail
ties, to Which HaecEel goes the length
OF applying the term ''soul life," to dis
tinguish them from mere instinct.
Thus patriotism is obviously virtue
among ants, for if an ant hill is dis
turbed the inmates never attempt to
escape from danger, but apply them
selves Immediately to rescue the lives
and property of the community as a
whole. Respect for law and order is
also very strongly marked in some
communities of ants, which include
soldiers and workers, peasants and ar
tisans, governors and slaves.
Bees have an extraordinary sense Of
duty. Huber noted relays Of them sup
porting a fragment of comb which
threatened to fall without one single
bee flinching or leaving it's post until
relieved by another. Loyalty to the
queen is another distinct moral quail
ity,

THE AMATEUR IN SPORTS.
He Is One sfho Plays Only For the
Pleasure Of PLAYING.

An amateur is one who plays for
pleasure only. He can play with whom
he pleases, so long as he plays for
pleasure alone. He may play with or
against team which is being paid or
playing for gate money. He may play
with professionals or against them.
There is no reason why an amateur
should not play in any company he
pleases SO long as he enjoys it. pro-
vided he plays only for that reason.
The professional is one who engages
in athletics for livelihood. This,
however, would not make profession
al baseball player d professional tennis
player. Experience has taught that. as
a rule, men who are playing for live
hhood-that is, for money-place
small value on pleasure and are ready
to mar the game by quarreling, trick
cry OF unfair dealing. 1t is only when
the professional hurts the pleasure Of
the game that he is Objectionable.
This is not the distinction perceived by
our makers of rules, who have been so
absorbed in the money, summer base
ball and summer board question that
they failed to notice how rapidly they
We're creating in the amateur world
all the unpleasant characteristics of the
professional, the most notable of which
is quarrelsomeness and making a BUSH
ness Of it all.
The colleges for their athletic inter-
course need only the common rule that
an amateur is one who has received no
compensation for his athletic skill, that
those who have received such compen-
sation are professionals and that pro-
fessionals are barred. With all sub
scribing to this simple rule and living
up to it only an agreement to meet an
nually each year for a certain period
would be further needed.-Outing.

RESTAURANTS.
They Came Into Being With the
First French Revolution.

They Came Into Being With the
First French Revolution.
The restaurant is of comparatively
modern origin. The first French revolu-
ton, at the close Of the eighteenth CEN
tury, witnessed it's birth. Prior to that
time the best cooks were in the employ
of the nobility, whose ruin threatened
them with equal disaster a happy in
spiration, however, led them to open
places of public entertainment, which
leaped at once into immense popular
favor, inasmuch as previously, while
the French people were endowed with
the instincts of delicate cookery, they
were unable to crafty their tastes
through the absence of resorts availa-
BILE for the purpose.
The proprietors of many of these es-
adjustments quickly acquired a wide
spread fame and large wealth. Coin
cident with the birth of the restaurant
In France, an immense impulse was
given to the publication of popular
treatiseS on the art Of cookery CON-
posed by the most famous cooks. These
were rapidly disseminated among the
people, who, gifted with natural gen.
JUS for gastronomy, promptly availed
of the new sources of knowledge to
perfect themselves in an art of which
they have become the foremost expo
nents of the world. Among these pub
LEGATIONS was the "Almanach des Gour-
mands," established in 1904, one Of the
classics of culinary learning.

CURlOSI7lES OF SUICIDE.
Trivial Conditions That Have Led Up
to Self Destruction.

1
1t is a strange fact that nearly all
great men have tinge Of melancholy
| in their blood and are subject at times
to periods Of great depression. Napo-
| leon at the beginning Of his career was
in great financial distress and was pre-
vented from drowning himself only by
the timely pecuniary aid Of a school
mate. Bismarck is said to have de-
clared after the battle of Sadowa that
he would have killed himself had the
Prussians been beaten, and Byron
while writing 'Childe Harold" declared
he would have blown his brains out
but for the reflection that it would give
pleasure to his mother-in-law
The reasons for self destruction are
often very curious Men have frequent
~ been known to put an end to their
lives to escape tOOthache or other
pains. while the dread of disease has
been known to affect the mind to such
an extent that the victim has<lestroyed
himself rather than face it. WEAKNESS
of money and good things to eat have
been the cause of suicide One man
drowned himself in the Seine because
of the color Of his hair, which was
f1axen. and another shot himself be-
cause his clothes did not fit him. A girl
threw herself into the Danube because
her companions laughed at her corpu-
lence, and Frenchman took poison to
spite his mother-in-law because she in
sisted upon living with him.

A Humorous Enxlish Sheriff.

A sheriff with fine sense Of humor
was he who, having been reproved by
the judge Of a certain court for pre-
senting jury not sufficiently respec-
table, read out at the subsequent ses-
sion the following list. with a suitable
emphasis upon the last names of the
jurors: Max King, Henry Prince,
George Duke William Marquis, Ed
ward Earl, Richard Lord, Richard
Baron, Edmund Knight, Peter Esquire,
George Gentleman, Robert Yeoman,
Stephen Pope, Humphrey Cardinal,
William Bishop. John Abbot, Richard
Friar, Henry Monk, Edward Priest and
Richard Deacon. After the laughter
had subsidized the presiding judge, ac-
cepting the joke in good part, compli-
mented the witty sheriff upon his clev-
erness.-London Star

The Tarnntuln.

Tarantulas are plentiful in the rough
broken country in the southern part of
California. They are repulsive looking
creatures, with fat, hairy bodies, over
plentiful wiry legs and cruel poison
mandibles. They stay in their bur
rows during the dry season, but as
soon as the rains begin they sally forth.
The tarantula constructs very skill
full burrow and nest in the ground It
has a cover so nicely fitted that it can
scarcely be detected from the surround
ing soil. The cover opens and shuts
upon hinge, and on the inside are
holes, into which the occupant thrusts
his mandibles and thus "holds his FORT
against intruders.

CAPTURING A HUSBAND.
A Bold and Dashing Lady Was the
Mother of Robert Bruce.

uAOeACA "a ASoOCIl DIuCes
Many marriage suggests to an ir-
reverent curiosity the question, did
the woman propose it?" But one sell
dom finds actual historic proof that she
did. A recent delightful book on Scot
land has an interesting and apparently
authentic story of case where the wo-
man not only took the initiative, but
took it in high handed fashion.
The young Countess of Carrick was
left widow by the death of her hus-
band while on one of the crusades.
The king became her guardian and she
had good reason to fear that he would
force upon her marriage of policy.
She was a famous horsewoman and
often rode for a day through her own
forest, attended only by small mount
ed guard. One day she encountered a
young man to whom she was at once
much attracted. She asked him to re-
turn with her to her castle, but he had
some gallant adventure already in
hand and ungraciously declined the in
vitation
At word from her her men-at-arms
made him prisoner and bore him off
to Turnberry castle
Two weeks Imprisonment brought
him to proper sense of the charms Of
his fair hostess, and knight and lady
were welded with the reluctant con-
sent Of the king.
The son Of this romantic marriage
was Robert Bruce, whose splendid
patriotism and brave deeds are well
fitted to justify his mothers coura-
geOus audacity.

The Hygienic Value of Sunday

Sunday is not only a religious but a
hygienic institution It is benefcent in
its uses, morally and physically. How
workers should best spend the Sunday
is still Il moot question, but that it
should be time Of soul refreshment
and recreation, a moment, as Miss Co.
relli expresses it, "for standing and
taking breath on the threshold Of an
other week." a season for thought, for
intellectual enjoyment, for the solace
of nature and the admiration of it's
wonders and beauty, no sensible per-
son will be likely to deny. Whether
motoring or card playing is the best
way to attain these ends must be left
to each individuals judgment.-L

Apple Eating.

A good ripe raw apple is one Of the
easiest substances for the stomach to
manage, and while the apple is worth
more as health giver in it's natural
state it is also exceedingly wholesome
cooked. Apple sauce eaten with pork
assists in the digestion of the meat,
ind many persons who cannot eat pork
without discomfort can do so if accom-
panied with plenty of we'll cooked ap-
pie sauce not too sweet.

English Breakfast Parties Early In

the Last Century.
The breakfast party became fashion
able in the early decades of the last
century, Samuel Rogers being one of
the principal hosts. Round his table
gathered all the wits and celebrities of
the day. At his house in St. James
place Byron and Moore first came to-
gether cover mess of potatoes and
vinegar" It was in his dining room
that Erskine told the story Of his first
brief and Grattan that of his last duel,
while the Iron Duke described Water
loo as ''battle Of giants" Rogers
asked people, it was currently report
ed, by way of probation for dinner, but
his breakfast parties were more social
than his dinners, which, comparatively
speaking, were affairs of necessity or
form. His invitation notes were mod
els of penmanship and conciseness.
Twill you breakfast with me tomor-
rows. r." was the pithy invitation
to a celebrated wit "Won't I?' was
the congenial response. He was fond
of quoting Rousseau's profession of I'm
govt fin pour les dejeuners, the time of
the day when we are quietest and talk
most at our ease. Greville in his "Mem-
Oirs" notes one Of these breakfasts
in 1881. "Sydney Smith, Luttrell, John
Russell and Moore excessively agreea-
