The Niger in the WOOdpiIe.

There is a deal of whispering in
Washington about the Preciado case.
The point of interest consists in the
contradictory positions taken by the
President and the State Department in
regard to the Brownsville affair in
August. 1906. Preciado was a citizen
of Mexico living in Brownsville, and
claims to have been wounded in the
hand by soldiers of the United States
in the riot at Brownsville; and there
fore, demands $4,000 damages from
our Government. The State De-
partment denies that American SOL
diers did the injury with the knowl-
edge or consent of their officers, or
after the officers had such notice of
impending trouble as to put them on
their guard ano oblige them to take
precautionary measures. Preciado
replies-that this position is contrary to
the declarations of the President of
the United States, and the testimony
on the subject. In other words Preci-
ado takes the Roosevelt view of the
riot, while the State Department in
sists on the Foraker view. 1t is a
pretty case.

Cleveland and Roosevelt.

At last Grover Cleveland can join
the ranks of those politicians from
whom Mr.. Roosevelt has borrowed his
policies. The President has followed
Cleveland's policy of issuing bonds to
replenish the supply of gold Sin the
treasury. There is this difference,
however, that Cleveland was forced to
act by conditions brought about by his
predecess Or. while Roosevelt's act has
been made necessary by conditions pro-
duced by Republican policies.

The Ants Foo Trade.


Ants eggs come in the main from
Russia. They are the best food obtain
able for goldfish and canaries and other
cage birds thrive on them wonderfully.
They cost about so cents a pint. In
the forests of southern Russia ant nests
abound. The Russian egg hunter does
not do his own collecting there. He
makes the poor ants do it for him. Sc
Letting a hot. sunny day. the first man
erects little piles of twigs, a dozen or
more Of them, near the thickest colo
MES, and then he kicks open all the
nests in the neighborhood. The ants
know that their eggs, thus exposed TO
the sun. would be made sterile in few
hours, and they take them up and bur
ry to place them under the nearest shell
ter. The nearest shelter is of course
the little piles of twigs. and under each
of these there are soon heaped the eggs
from hundred nests. The egg hunter
after smoke and a nap has nothing to
do but gather up his spoil and dump it
in his sack. He ships the eggs in hun
dredweight bags all over the world
