The young woman. as is intimatsd. may be permanently injured by the little grain of rice It Is not even supposa- hie that any one thought of harming her or thought of any possible danger that could result from their alleged sport They only. thought of having q little fun for themselves by doing what none of them would have appreciated If they had been the victim. Tn 8 case of this kind 1t is not possible to nx the blame, on any one person but if it could be done and the guilty person severely punished it might go long way towards breaking down a custom which should certainly be made unpop- uiar and distasteful as well as unsafe to the perpetrators.

SUNDAY. sEPTDMsHR I, 1907.

As The Chattanooga Times views the
 latter the Georgia, Railroad COmmis- 5sion appears to have embraced in its own proper person the powers of the execative. the Judicial and legislative departments of government. It pro poses to make regulations, pass upon constitutiona1ity of the same and then put them into execution. We seem to be approaching an era of close eorpor- ntion in government as well as in our commercial and industrial systems. After awhile we will have to get back to the original doctrine of the fathers that the people who are the least gov armed are the best governed, the freest and the happiest."
 The Times is likely to get itself Ahauabashed if it intimates that gov

 The ceremony which had been per- and MT. RicAard Sauthwick, was fol- lowed by a reception at the home of the bride, after which the bridal party accompanied the bride and groom to
 The 6ld-fashioned custom of throw ing shoes and rice at the happy eou- pie was resorted to and many shoes direction of the couple but no dam age was done until a grain of rice penetrated Mrs. Southwiek's ear, in and causing such pain that the hon. eymoon was abandoned.
 If there is one habit or custom that should be smashed out of existence this is the one. It is one of the relics of an age of superstition, idolatry and ni-barbarism. It Is senseIess, inexe cusable and altogether idiotic. There are still to be found among civilized people some of the customs which were in vogue among our far-away ancestors centuries ago. and this one fingers in some parts of the country as one of the surviving customs of q time when witcheraft was firmly believed in and when superstition ruled humanity. The belief that throwing old shoes, rice and other trash at c newy-mamied couple brought good luck was then universal, and there are those who keep up the custom, even though they may have no faith in it's efficacy.
 The practice is not only sensefess but often dangerous. It has not been long since we read of a young bride who was seriously hurt by being hit on the head by a shot flung ct the couple by some idiot in the crowd In another case the newly welded couple had gOt- ten into the carriage to begin their wedding trip when q missile struck one of the horses. causing e runaway and seriously injuring one or both the occupants of the carriage.
 This Arkansas incident Is but another of the results of this useless custom.

NOR example, there is the Pronuba moth,
"a but half-inch in length, which pos
sesses faculty for doing remarkable
things.
1t is at night that she performs her strange
nilsson, and we must witch the white yucca
lily if we would see her at work.
She scrapes the pollen from this with her
front feet and rnaxillary palpi, then holds 1t I'M
der her head with her tentacles while she visits
the other stamens.
When she has secured pellet the size Of
pins head she pierces the ovary Of the flower
with her long oviposltor, and lays her eggs III
the midst of the embryo seeds.
But what does she want of the pollen dust
Al. that is her secret, which we about to
discover.
Now that her eggs are laid Madam Pro
nuba alights so that she can insert her uncoll-
ed tongue and tentacles into the stigmatic open
ing of the pistl which leads to the ovary. As
she does this she jams the pilfered pollen upon
the style and so fertilzes the plant.
This insect is not the only winged visitor
that helps to fertilize certain blossoms. There
are other moths and butterflies and bees as
we'll that do the same thing, but they are usual
" inveigled into the service by the promise of
nectar, and probably quite unconscious of
the fact that their tipping obliges them to dis
tribute the ripe pollen of their flower hosts.
The yucca offers no treat to the Pronuba
moth; still she comes unbiJden, and Intentional
~, not accidentally, gathers the hte-glvlng dust
of the plant places it upon the opening of tn
pstil, and so insures the ripening of the seeds
Does she realize that without her aid these
could not developy and that her children in the
ovary of the flower would then perish! For
strange as it may seem, a portion of the yucca
seeds serve as food for the Pronuba larvae
while the remainder reproduce the plant.
How many of us ever consider the wasps as
other than buzzing terrors to be avoided at all
hazards Still, when studied, we find that the
work which they do is remarkable; much of it
is performed instinctively, but these small IN
sects at times show an intelligence almost be

For instance, Professor and Mrs. Peckham
once saw solitary wasp, Ammophila urnaria,

If wasps, are interesting, ants are still more
so. OF course, we all know that an ant colony
contains queens, males, workers and soldiers.
Then, in some nests, there are slaves also For
that slavery exists in the ant world is beyond
question.
According to Sir John Lubbock, this Gus
tom was probably at first the result OK having at
different times an oversupply Of stolen eggs,
larvae and pupae in the nests, which Matched
before they were needed for food, and that these
stranger ants were suffered 70 remain and WORK
for their captOrs.

feed itself, make Its own toilet, care for its
young, or, in fact, perform any Of the duties OF
tho nest aside from fighting and laying eggs.
/ once saw such colony an route to It's
new home and the black slaves carried not only
the eggs, larvae and pupae of their mistresses.
but the mistresses as well
When we discover a colony IN which there
are two varieties OF ants. II does not necessarily
follow that one Is servant TO the other, as there
is a very small ant with a very long name which
persists IN making its home in the walls OF
larger ant, and greatly TO its hosts annoyance.
Our common garden ant is frequently
found upon the stems and leaves of plants,
hobnobbing with those wee pests, the plant-hce
or aphids We soon learn there Is a reason for
this strange companionship.
These plant-ice have two honey tubes on
their backs, from which a sweet liquid Is ex-
uded The ants beg for this in quite human
way, and pay for the treat by guarding not
only the aphids, but, in many cases, their eggs
as well. The sphids called the COWS OF
the ants and are often maintained in droves
by he latter.
