One Industry of tho Pesky Ant.

Out in Burma and the far east,
where sandalwood is worth it's weight
In silver, the pestiferous ant is valu-
able assistant to the loggers of that
precious timber. The hard and fra
grant heartwood alone has value, but
as the tree grows this valuable heart
is overlaid by soft and worthless lay
er forming two-thirds Of the trunk.
When tree is felled and cut into
lengths the loggers let the timber lie.
At once the ants begin work upon the
soft wood, which is sappy and sweet
enough to attract them. In a few
weeks, less than a month in the case
of the largest butts, the ants deliver
the heartwood free of all the worthless
sapwood.

INTEREST FIGURES I'm THE
UNIFIED STATE

According to the Wall Street Jour
nal, 9TH" question arose recently be-
tween the commonwealth of MaSSachu-
sets and Il prominent trust company
rs TO whether in borrowing money the
commonwealth should pay interest
ii figured on the SDcallcd New York basis,
or whether it should DC paid by the
old method Of months and days, the
commonwealth claiming that the New
York idea was unfair.
Cup to about six years ago the GUS
tom in Boston was TO figure interest by
months and days. but owing to the fact
that many loans OF p rston banks were
carried by New Tork correspondents.
the bank found that they had loans of
like amounts, carrying the same rate
of interest, which did not show the
maturity; hence the system was
changed To conform 40 the practice of
the New York banks. This system is
based on the assumption that there are
800 days to the year. and that given
amount of money will earn in six DAYS,
If put to work at 6 per cent. one one
thOusandth of the principal. The as
sumption is correct SO far as if goes.
but inasmuch as these are 3G5 DAYS in
an ordinary year and :,66 DAYS in lean
wears. and the borrower is called unnu
TO pav interest," no; by months and
days, but by actual DAYS, if will he
seen that the Irn,i.rS have creatrd fo,.
themselves an additional interest enro-
ing power. varying from five TO six
DAYS year. On Il loan of say $40 600 -.
600, ut an averages rate of + Der cent
this would amount to S9T.7i7.1s for an
ordinary year ana S53. BIB. 33 for lean
years.
"Whila the practice i now Uniform
among banks, irust c,un,nirs and
BROKERS' and all others who are lenders
of money. still tbp olljr,tious of tho
United States government are tiunred
on IL 30 day basis: that is, that =

earn $50 in 3G5 DAYS ASSUMING thero.

Women Fishernen-FIemis Style.


On the coasts of Holland, Belgium
and northern France the fisherwomen
are a familiar sight, with their great
hand nets and quaint costumes Many
Of the towns have distinctive cos
tunes by which their women can be
recognized anywhere. Those Of Maria
Kirke, near Ostend, wear trousers
and loose blouses, while their heads
and shoulders are covered by shawls
They carry their nets into the sea and
scoop up vast quantities Of shrimps
and prawns, with an occasional crab
or lobster and many small fish, They
often wade out till the water is up to
their necks, and they remain for hours
at time in water above their knees,
rarely returning until their baskets
are full.

SCHOOL BOARD MEETS
BOARD Of Education Touches or Bond
Issue Of $4,000 To Be Submitted
To Voters at November Election
Voters Who Favor Bond issue Must
Also Vote for Special Tax Levy.

Also Vote for Special Tax Levy.
The BOARD Of education met In reg
ular session last night in the second
ward school building, President Chas
a. Young presiding The members
were all present except Fl. L Alex1
ander.
There was not much business trans
acted but the reading of the minutes
consumed a long time owing to the
fact that the lengthy notice and pro
clamation to the voters of the Mar
~tinsburg school district relative to the
bond issue of $50, 900 that will be sub
mitted to the voters at the election on
November 8, had to be read by the
secretary.
Current bills were passed amount
ing to about s2100. This embraced
teachers salaries of 1886 for the
second month of the school term; $142
for janitors' salarlessfor a like period;
$50 to librarian of public library for a
months salary, electric light, etc.
Superintendent Brindle was present
and reported that the city schools are
in a flourishing condition. He also
said that in accordance with an action
Of the board at the last meeting in re.
gard to the congested condition OF the
third and fourth ward schools, Miss
Clara Lord and Miss Ruth Miller, the
substitute teachers, had been assist
Ing in those schools for the last two
weeks to the entire satisfaction OF all
concerned.
The necessity of the voters voting
for the bond issue at the coming cleo
ton was pointed out at the meeting.
II the levy should not carry the bond
issue would also fall even thought it
had a majority of the votes. Therefore
it is necessary for the voter to mark
an X for both propositions.
Under the old state law bonds
could be issued without a vote for a
special levy to pay the interest on the
bonds, but under the new law it re-
quires a vote for both bond issue and
special levy. In other words IL the
bond issue carries and the special tax
levy does not there can be no bond
issue, and no school building would be
erected next year, although there is
such a crying need for one in the
third ward, for the reason that the
maximum levy of IL 1-2 cents on the
$500 for the next year will barely
pay the running expenses of the
schools Independent of the teachers
salaries. But 1t is to be Understood
that the school taxes will not be in
creased one cent.
The present school tax is 4S cents
on the 800; Is cents for ordinary
running expenses, 5 cents to pay off
Indebtedness on the fifth ward school
building and 2S cents for teachers.

AT GILBERT SCHOOL.
Faculty Will Try to Find Way to Ad.
 init Catholic Pupils.

Winsted, Sept 11.-As a result of the feeling aroused here yesterday when five young girls, who had been graduated from St Anthony's paro- chial school were not allowed admit tance to the Gilbert school and in- formed that before they could take the entrance examination to the school, 1t would be necessary for them to spend one year in public or private school in accordance with the will of the founder, William L. Gilbert, 1t is probable that a way will be-found to relieve the trustees from the obnoxious provision and that the matter will be satisfactor- fly arranged. The faculty, trustees and all others, both in and out of the school, are unanimous in con demning the, clause of the will and no blame is laid to them for the existing conditions. Dr J. E. Clarke, principal of the school from the time of its establishment until the present time, apparently handled this question in a most satisfactory way, ignoring the provisions of the will without tthe knowledge of the trustees, and the present situation was sure to arise whenever change was made.
 Attorney w. c. Manchester, one of the trustees, was in Hartford yes terday and took advantage of the opportunity to consult legal authori- ties regarding the question. MT Manchester says that he believes that by a court decision or act by the legislature the restrictions put upon the trustees by the will of MT Gilbert can be removed, and that pending such action the trustees can be relieved from enforcing them, Father Andrew, pastor of St Joseph's 8 church and principal of St An thony's school, stated yesterday that he would defer action in regard to providing high school instruction for his school until he hears further from the school authorities. He thinks the restriction very unjust and he believes that if they are en- forced the children are entitled to public high school instruction from some other source.
 There is considerable misunder> standing regarding the plan that has been in force up to the present time, as Dr Clarke is now abroad, and Rev Father Leo and Judge A. H. Fenn, who were the parties to the agreement, are dead.
