Colonies of Ant World.

Colonies of Ant World.
An ant nest or colony arises from
eggs laid by one or more queens"
The developing young are tended by
the sexless neuters. or workers. y
The maggots, or larval ants, are fed by
them, often nourished out of the
nurses mouths, and are as carefully
watched in respect to the temperature
and other conditions of the nurseries
as are infantile human beings. When
full development occurs the pupae
change into apts, which are either
winged or wingless. The latter are
the "neuters," or workers. They may
develop big jaws and appear as the
SOLDIERS" of the colony. Those which
are winged are the founders of new
colonies. They are of both sexes and
they produce the eggs whence the new
generations will be evolved.-Ex-
change.

A Fine Lesson in How to
Save.

New York, June 20.-J. Pier
pont Morgan is revealed as a sleek
trader in small things by a story
that has just become current and
goes far to explain how he hypno'
ties collars and makes them walk
into his pockets.
A big Broadway jewelry house
came into possession of a splendid
pearl. 1t was decided to offer it
for sale privately and Mr.. Morgan
was given first chance.
A stenographer wrote to Mr..
Morgan that if he wanted the
pearl which was set in a scarf pin,
he could have it for $1,000. In
the event the pearl did not meet
his approyal-it was forwarded
with note-the financler was ask
ed to return it by the messenger.
Mr.. Morgan read the firms com
munication with interest. lie was
delighted with the pearl and after
closely inspecting it, rcwrapped it
in the tissue paper and thrust it
into his trousers pocket. At this
point, High Finance took the .cen-
ter Of the stage. Calling his cash
Ter, Mr.. Morgan instructed him to
drew two chccks-one for 81, 600
and the other for So 900.
The $1,000 check Mr.. Morgan
placed in the box that had contain
ed the pearl. He had the box care
fully wrapped and sealed with
wax. The 81, 900 check he iuclosed
in letter, in which he wrote that
if the firm was willing to accept
that amount for the pearl, the box
might be returned to him at once.
In the event, however, if the firm
was unwilling to accept less than
s., 900 for the pearl, the n 900
check was to be returned without
delay.
In less than an hour the mes
senger returned fetching the box
in which was the $1,000 check.
When the messenger had taken
his departure, Mr.. Morgan chuck
led. Just before he sailed for the
other side Mr.. Morgan met one Of
the members of the jewelry firm at
II dinner and related to him the
story Of the two checks. The jew
cler averred that his firm had lost
money by the transaction.
If you were losing money"
asked Mr.. Morgan, why didn't
you keep my $4,000 check"
The ieweer is said to have bow
ed low.
Il can understand now, Mr..
Morgan, he declared, how it is
that you have earned your place
as the leading fnancier of the age"
