The old custom Of having the minis
ter and the sehoolteacher board
round" is not wholly forgotten, as is
seen in an incident reported by the
Florida Times Union. The parson is a
successful circuit preacher, who in his
younger days was sent as a missionary
to Florida. The town was off from any
railroad line, and was sparsely popu-
lated. The new minister gathered the
people and told them that he intended
to establish church; that churches
brought schools, schools settlers and
settlers prosperity.
Il have no money he said, "but
intend that you people shall care for
me. What can you do for the preach
er? I don't intend to put the burden
Of my living ON any ore family, but
upon all Of you, turn and turn about.
1 will not go, however, where the latch
string is not hanging out of the door.
What can you do for the preacher?"
One old lady. who had . din rccoi-
lection Of small church in the piny
woods Of Georgia when she was a girl,
said:
q kin eat him, but can't sleep
him."
That's good" responded the parson.
Now, who's next?"
"Well, II Sister Jenkins is gwine to
eat him, I'll agree to sleep him, but l
can't wash him"
"rhats good. Who nextg"
Here another sister spoke up: "Well,

much on billed shirts"
Whether any one was found to "bile"

The testing of the intelligence Of
ants is a favorite study of naturallsts,
and recently there have been published
accounts of some interesting expert
mentS to determine the seat of the rec
ognition sense. 1t is well known that
ants, not only of one species, but Of
one community of the same species,
are able TO recognize oae another, while
to members of other colonies or species
they are markedly hostile. In this last
investigation the author rejects the
theory that there is a Language sense"
in The antennae of the ant, stating
that these organs are employed in feel
ing objects of all kinds, both animate
and inanimate. He believes, however,
that the antennae have some sense Of
smell, and accordingly he anointed ants
of one community with infusions made
from their friends and foes. When an
ointed with the former. the hostile ants
were not attacked as long as the infiu-
ence Of the infusion persisted. In fur.
ther corFoboratlon of this theory it
was found that when an ant was de-
priyed of its antennae it would attack
both friend and foe without diserimir
