from frequenting the senate square on

active in taking all ''necessary?" pre-

doors were ordered closed and the cell

carefully cemented. In the morning
the street in which Obolensky's car
riage was to pass, was fenced off and
policemen stationed a block away from
the thoroughfare to warn people from
approaching. Orders were given out
that all the windows on the houses
along the street where the governor
general was to pass, had to be closed

continue their work on the roofs. The
city was full of Russian detectives,
gendarmes and police. When Obolen-

The so-called Danish railway law

riksdag in 1893, provides that all the
surplus above 2 per cent. which will
accrue from the state railways at the
end Of every year. shall on Jan. l of
each year be distributed among the
employees. The first distribution was
declared Sept. 1. There was 100000
crowns to divide and thus there will
be a per capita distribution Of 60
crowns. According to the law the gen

and each Of the directors 1900 crowns

DR.. II. G. McCook tells of a species
of kidnapping ants which make organ
lied attacks on other ant villages for
the purpose of capturing slaves. Here
is an account of the attack:
"At last the muster is complete.
Mysteriously, but effectively, the signal
'ForwardH is given, and the column
moves from the hill. There is no regu-

holding of the ranks within close
compass and touch-a 'rout step' in
fact. There is no general; there are no
subordinate officers, but such is the
sympathetic unity that they seem to
move in response to one will and COM
mand. If every warrior is a law unto
himself the law so binds and animates
and compels all alike that the ends of
an organized cohort are served.
Assault, battle and piIlage follow
quickly upon the sortie. The objective
point of the march is not far away.

club are also members of the Knights

protested against the young people of
the church participating, and a good

missed on the condition that they be in

anything Objectionable the ball was to
cease. Those who opposed the dance
entered the hall at o'clock, opening

watched the dancers for some time. 1t
