pray increasingly TO be delivered from

Those GuatemaIan Ants.

Secretary Wilson thunders too much in the inde,;. When he imported lot of fierce ants from Guatemala, he told all the cc -ton-c n-consuming world that they would soon put an end to the boil weevils. He saved in anticipation the cotton crop, and he is but an Iowa farmer, who had not seen before some mysterious wave of politics made him secretary of agriculture, cotton boil except as parlor ornament in his native village.
 But, alas, for human plansi Instead of the ants devouring the weeyils, the latter devoured the ants. At any rate the ants have disappeared while the weevils are as numerous and aggress- i've even on the government farm un- der the noses of government employees as they have ever been. They are in fact rather fatter and saucier on ac- count of their new Guatemalan diet. The government farm on Washington Heights, Williamson county, Texas, was well stocked with Guatemalan ants, imported at no small expense, and held p before the country us weevil destroyers. Where are those ants now? They are not on the gov ernment farm, and Secretary Wilson should offer a reward for his destruct- i've ants. It is not believed, however, that the weevilL will tell what they know about the great secretary's pet ants. They may invite him to bring on some more destroyers gathered from the ends of the earth, but they will not go beyond that point The weevil is as wise as it voracious.

ORIGIN OF PICNIC"
e Memphis Morning News.

From the Memphis Morning News.
 Since everyone Is fond of a picnic it is well enough that picnickers should know the origin of the word. pains taking newspaper man has dug up an at tempt to trace the word in London Notes and Queries of 1858. Under a French form the word appears In a speech by Robespierre, "C'est ici qu'll doit m ac- cuser, ct non dans les piquesniques." An earlier instance occurs in one of Lord Chesterfelds letters, dated October, 174S. Another writer of the same date tries to trace the word through France into Italy. Starting with the assumption that piquenique in French implies a party at which each guest provides some par ticular dish or performs some special duty, he finds the Italian expression "Nicchia" (duty) and ''piccola" Ga trifing service), and from these he coins pic cola nicchia" (picnic) A French ency- elopedia, 1s43, has it that the word is compounded of the simple English pic, Co choose) and nick Gin the nick of time, on the spur of the moment. In France the term Is also used for indoor picnics In America the word picnic" is confined to out of doors affairs, and in the old-time meaning of the word 1t was basket dinner in the woods The word is given a broader meaning now and is frequently used to describe the annual celebrations of certain organiza- tions.
