THERE was no doubt that
Joseph the impregnable,
= Joseph the. 1oftily in
different, had become Joseph the
subdued, Joseph the devoted.
The astounding fact was patent
to his whole family, from his
mother, who hitherto had been
the only woman whom Joseph
considered worthy of the least
attention, to the tiny sister,
whose excessive and eXuberant
affection had been 1avished upon
a tolerant rather than an
appreciative brother
Not the least amusing feature
of the affair was the prompt
ness. as well as the completeness,
of Joseph's surrender. One look
from a pair of soft blue eyes,
just one glance, and the flag
of his independence was hauled
down; the gates of the citadel
We're flung wide open; and the
whole garrison turned out with
a riotous roll of the conquered
drums, a joyous Haunting of
the lowered colors, to do homage
to the victor.
Joseph's father openly re-
joiced in his sons overthrow,
promising himself much plasure
in watching the effect it would

SUccORS A WOUNDED ANT
Lord Aveling Convinced That the Tiny Insect Is Really Pos
 sessed of Reason.

Lord Eveling, better known as Sir John Lubbock, the famous scientist writes: Tn one of my nests was an ant which had come into the world without antennae. Never having pre- viously met with such a case, watched her with great interest, but she never appeared 10 leave the nest. At length one day I found her wander ing about in an ain.less sort of man. ner, apparently not knowing her way at all. After a while she fell in with some ants of another species. who di- rectly attacked her. at once set n.y. self td separate them, but, whether owing. to the wounds she had received from her enemies or to my rough though well-meant handling or to both, she was evidently much wound cd. and lay helplesslv on the ground. After some time anuther ant from the same nest came by. She examined the poor sufferer carefully, then picked her up and carried her away into the nest. It would have been difficult for anyone who had witnessed the scene to have denied this ant the possession of humane feelings. In face of such facts as these it is impossible to re- gard ants as mere exquisite automa- tons. When we see an ant hill, ten ated by thousands of industrious in- habitants. excavating chambers. form ing tunnels, making roads. guarding their home, gathering food. feeding the young, tending their domestic ami mals--each one fulfilling its duties it is difficult altogether to deny to them the gift of reason, and the pre- ceding observations tend to confirm the opinion that their mental powers differ from those of men not so much in kind as in degree"

 We dared SO no farther. Sweet phil osopher, inspired of Heaven, could not bear the look of her, and rose quickly with dim eyes and went out of the open door. A revelation had come to me- Mere de Dieu! how l loved that woman so fashioned in thy image! She followed me, and laid her hand up- on my arm tenderly, while I shook with emotion.

 1t was the first day of the Indian summer, a memorable season that year, when according to an old legend, the Great Father sits idly on the noun tain-tops and blows the smoke of his long pipe into the valleys.

supply the demand. Constant improve ments in the Russian navy, which the little Japs seem to have taken so much enjoyment in putting out of business, naturally call for the strongest sort of chains. Besides this, the double track ing of the Siberian railroad and the con- struction of the Baikal section demands great consignments of the American made product
 With the Japanese the case is different. The islanders need strong absolutely unbreakable article in order that quick pulling in of anchors on the big war ves- sels may be made easier. Another req son for the necessity is on account of the railroad which is being built in Korea, and the one which the mikado proposes to construct in Manchuria soon.
 Sentiment plays no part in the prob lem of where to buy the chains. and it IS a gratifying tribute to industry in the United States to know that both the na- tions engaged in conflict against each other find America the best place to pur- chase these necessities. The American made article is superior to that made in either Germany or England, the two countries which were once foremost in the manufacture of chains, and also be- ing cheaper, Japan and Russia both find 1t a money-saving scheme to purchase their chains in the United States. despite the fact that each knows the other is using exactly the same article.
 A deficient cable, in which perhaps only one link shows defect, might bring disaster to ship, and possibly cost hun dreds of lives. For this reason every chain or cable that leaves the plant of the big chain making concerns must under- go the most severe of tests. Long sec tions are subjected to specified pulls and then the chain is tested on testing ma chine which cares for 90 feet at time. bringing to bear any tension up to 25O.- 900 pounds. If any link in a batch of chains is found to possess any defect whatsoever. the entire number of chains made from the iron in which the defi- ciency exists is condemned and thrown away. or put into an inferior grade.
 The chains are tested according to the diameter of the iron in the link. A quar- ter-inch chain is not intended to stand strain of more than 600 pounds. but it is, as a rule, subjected to a test of 1 500 pounds. and should not break with a. strain of less than 2,5O0 pounds. Chain cables. such as are used on warships. are given tests of from 100000 to 250,OO0 pounds. and should not give way under strain of less than twice that weight. The corroding action of salt water has weakening effect on the chain. however. and shipmasters find it necessary to con-

Profits Of the Packers.

There has been great deal Of dis
appointment because the Garfield re-
port shows that the profits Of the
packing industry only amount to
about two per cent of the volume of
business transacted. There is no
doubt, however, that the report Is cor
rect.
The census reports compiled by the
government in 1900, before the agita-
tion regarding the beef trust" began,
throw considerable light on this ques-
ton. 1t appears fDom The census that
the packing industry is conducted on
a smaller margin of gross profit than
any other industry in America. The
gross margin Of profit of S71 flour and
grist mills in Illinois, in the census
year. was nearly seven per cent on
the volume of business. The gross
margin of fifty,one wholesale slaugh-
tering and meat packing establish
ments in Illinois was only about one
third as large. or a little more than
two per cent on the volume of busi-
ness.
The millers have not been accused
OF being in a trust" and combina-
tons would seem impossible in a busi-
ness where there are several thousand
mills in the United States competing
acti, tly for the -four trade, but 1t ap-
pears that t4e gross profits OF the mill
ers are larger than the gross profits
OF the packers. 1t may turn out that
the agitation regarding the packing
industry will show the same result as
