Some Plant and Harvest Grain--Oth

lieut.-Col. Sykes saw at Poonan
ants carrying out grain to dry in the

Lincecum in Texas found ants which
planted certain seed-bearing grass,
reaped it and carried the grain into
their cells. where they stripped it of
chaff and packed II away. The paper
relating this was read by Darwin be-
fore the Linnaen society. Another OBJ
server has told us of ants which grow
mushrooms.

they are not fighters, however. One
curious conjecture as TO their func-
ton has been made. They are indl-
gestible and birds spare the whole
army lest they should get hold of one
of these tough morsels. This, il must
be allowed, looks little too strange.
Slaves the ants certainly have, but
they do not make slave raids. The
larvae of the inferior race are carried
off and hatched out. The browning
marvel, however is that the British
slave-ownlng ant, and he alone, makes
his slaves fight for him.

OLD FERRYBOAT
THREE STATES"
Bob DeVore, Her Clerk, Writes
of Old Times
To CAPT. JOHN HACKER
TWENTY-THREE YEARS OF SER.
VICE I'M CAIRO FERRY TRADE
WITHOUT A SINGLE MIS-
HAP - A GREAT
RECORD.

Capt J. S. Hacker, of the new fer.
ryboat Three States" yesterday re
ceiyed a letter from an old friend and
former resident of Cairo, who win be
remembered by many of the older
citizens of this city-Mr, Robert e
DeVore now of Kansas City, Mo.
Mr.. DeVore, back in the EOS, was
clerk on the old ferryboat "Three
States under command of Capt.
Hacker, which for % years served in
the ferry trade from Cairo to Wick
life and Birds Point. Through this
quarter of centurys service the old
Three States" made her regular
daily trips between these points,
through sunshine and fair, without q
single accident being chalked up
against her. As Capt. Hacker says,
she had marriages, deaths and births
on her without ever losing a single
life or injuring any being, brute or
! human"
The captain Is very proud of the
old Three States" record, as much
SO as his old clerk, Mr.. DeVore, who
served with him for ten years Capt.
Hacker himself has been running the
Cairo, Birds Point and Wickliffe fer
ry for over 30 years. during which
time he has worn out two boats, the
old Three States and the present
Katherine and is now Starting on
his third boat-and looks good to
wear out two or three more.
The letter from Mr.. DeVore alluded
to above is as follows:

down the great Ohio river with tho
new Three States and it brought
back TO me the times which you and
had on the good old boat, Three
States, battling with ice and high
water, yellow fever and cholera, back
in the seventies, when there never
was a time that the good old boat
ever failed to pull us through when
called upon. no matter how bad the
ice was, and if the new "Three
States" with her full cabin and two !
engines and stacks proves as grand a
boat, then you should be proud, and
a happy man, and ! am glad. that you
have the kind of a boat that You
wanted so long. '1a s,9t . itr@

PHYSICAL VALUE OF YAWN.
Expands Lungs and with Stretching
Aids Circulation of Blood.

Aids Circulation of Blood.
During sleep the respiration is shall
low and the expansion of the lungs is
insufficient for active movement. It
is necessary, therefore, says the De-
troit News-Tribune, 10 fully expand
the lungs on waking before or as soon
as active movements commence. This
is effected by yawn. which is deep
respiration. assisted by the wide open
ing of the mouth.
The depth of the Inspiration is often
assisted hYraising the arms above the
head and by throwing forward the
chest and thus yawning and stretch
ing are only parts id one inspiratory
effort
Stretching also aids the return OF
the blood to the muscles. During sleep
the circulation is'feebler and the skin
seems to be supplied with blood at the
expense of the muscles and on waking
the limbs are stretched 10 insure their
being in working order and to restore
10 them their normal waking blood
supply.
Toward night it is not uncommon
for similar reduction in the depth
of the respiration and slowing of the
circulation to take place and this is
corrected by a similar yawning and
stretching as on waking.

A HALLOWEEN PARTY.
Some Suggestions for Amusing Chill
dren on That Event. i

An exchange gives us the following:
Ny next door neighbor gave Hal
low'een party last year. Twelve boys
and twelve girls were invited by mail
The youngsters gathered pumpkins
to make jack o.lanterns; wo Of them
were placed IN each window, giving
the house a Very weiri appearance.
Two of the girls were dr:lped in sheets
to act as ghosts; enc was stationed on
the porch to receive the guests, the
other at the head Of the stairs to show
them to the room where they we're to
leave their wraps. It happened that
one Of the girls got scared at the ghost
on the porch, and ran upstairs right
into the arms of the second ghost,
which stirred up quite an excitement.
No harm was done, either to guest or
ghost. By nine o'clock all the guests
had arrived, and they began playing
games. ,,ag ,ss-
Fortune Telling.
The first game they played was for
tune telling. A thimble. a coin and a
ring were placed on a table. Each
girl was blind-folded in turn and led
to the table, where she picked up the
first object her hand touched. II It.
was the ring, 1t signifed that she
would be married Within year. If.
the coin, she was to become rich. IT,
the thimble, hard work all her life.
Peekaboo Game.
For the second game, they nailed
white sheet over an open doorway.
Two holes We're cut in the sheet, just
big enough for the eyes4to be seen.
Then the girls took turns behind the
sheet and the boys guessed whose
eyes were looking through the holes.
Some of the boys couldn't see any diff
ference in the eyes when the nose was
not seen. 5f Al. .#
5obbins for Apples.
They filed washtub about three
quarters full Of water, and put in it.
several apples. These were to be
picked out Of the water with the
mouth. without any assistance from
the hands. Gs
Then they played the organ and did
some singing and dancing, while the
teacher (who boarded there, and
helped plan the partly wrote the
names Of all the girls present on cards
and placed them in a box. Then every
boy drew card from the box, and so
found his partner for supper. Then
they moved all the chairs In a. double
row, and the partners took seats fac
ing each other. The lunch was served
on one plate for each couple, placed In
the girls lap.
Looking Into the Future.
At twelve o'clock they all went
down cellar where the girls were to
see their future husbands. A dark
cloth hung before a corner, and this
was lifted to allow each girl to turn
to view her allotted mate. All they
saw was a pumpkin with holes for
eyes, nose and mouth, with candle
inside. A nice future husband, In
deed! sz ~ 81
