Little Red Ones Perform Faithful Ser
 vice for Black Ones.
 On the stone steps of house on the Hill" are two wooden pillars, a foot and half apart, among the supports of the porch. Recently big black ants have been so abundant and aggressive about one of these posts, in which they made their home. that all its cracks and creviees were puttied up and it was deluged with an ant-killing fluid. Four days ago a tiny, snake-like line was noticed between the two pillars. It crooked and curved and looked as if something had erawIed through light coating of dust, leaving its trail there. On close examination it proved to be 8 line of life. It is made up of countless minute red ants, rushing madly, some in one direction and as many in the other, some turning to the left, but all of them all the time holding close to tn circuitoHs route from one post to the other, and making the snake line or worm line on the stone step.
 During all these four days those little bugs have been uninterruptedly busy, whenever they were looked at night or day. Once the stream was swept of by a broom, but in few minutes the gap was closed and everything looked just as 1t had before. Apparently these creatures are carrying out of the disin- fected pillar the dismembered remains of the black ants and depositing them in the pillar that has not been subject ed to treatment. These small ants are so minute that they are scarcely per- ceptible except in the mass, and they can readily slip in under the base of tine pillars whefe the black ones could not go. None of the red ones have been seen thereabouts until this remarkable procession began it's unceasing to-and- fro march. Are they slaves of the black ones, and if so, who gave them their orders to clean house? Nothing interrupts them; they even refuse to be tempted with sugar or scared by water. When a little pool was put in the path they filled it up with their bodies and the next marched on.-Hartford cour- ant.
