of the honey secreted by the cOrn-root aphis 80,

ants, however, are never noticed BY

another is the beCkia. These creatures,
from living continually from genera

become quite blind. They are scaven-

a thief in the community, lurking be-

sect. though of no direct use to the
ant" writes Sir John Lubbock, are
not left where they are laid, exposed
to the severity of the weather and to
innumerable dangers, but carried in
to their nests by the ants, and tended
bv them with the utmost care
through the long winter months until
the following March, when the young
ones are brought out and again placed
on the shoots of growing plants. This
seems to me a remarkable case OF
foresight and prudence. Ants IN our
part of the country do not indeed lay
up food for the winter as do those
of warmer Chimes; but they do more,
for they keep during SIX months the
eggs that will enable them TO procure
food during the following summer, a
case of intelligent forecast unexam-
pied in the animal kingdom. "

Dr. George L. Vincent delivered the
first of a series of lectures last evening
before d fine audience in Barrat hall.
Taking for his subject the suggestive
theme. children Versus Grownups. %
he endeavored to show the relationship
between child groups and adult groups
of humanity and to draw from them
lessons helpful to the student Of child
life. Dr. Vincent's talk was filed with
witticisms and HUMOROUS illusions to
the so-called study of child life.
He showed a deep sympathy with the
child in his groups which are opposed
90 the group of adults. whom he re-
CARDS as oppressors. Dr. Vincent ex-
pressed strong disapproval of the tho
DRY which tends to raise children apart
from the groups iu which they rightly
belong and especially the theory which
tends TO surround the child with a
''1yire fence and make a prize chicken
of him" His lecture. although brief.

something that looked ike a quart. the
Gilman had q vessel that looked like a
gallon measure. the iceman had scales
that measured Of something, and the
merchant had q measure that was
nearly a yard. but they were all shy

the city ordinance. They are still at
