A Queer Battle.

A traveller in South Africa tells Of a
singular combat that he witnessed. He
was musing one morning with his
eyes on the ground when he noticed
caterpillar crawling along at rapid
pace, followed by hundreds of small
ants. Being quicker in their move
ments, the ants would catch up with
the caterpillar, and one would mount
his back and bite him. Pausing. the
caterpillar would turn his head and
bite the ant and kill his tormentor
After slaughtering a dozen or more Of
his prosecutors the caterpillar showed
signs of fatigue. The ants made a
combined attack. Betalling himself to
stalk of grass, the caterpillar climbed
up tail first, followed by the ants. AS
one approached he seized 1t in his
jaws and threw it off the stalk. The
ants, seeing the caterpillar had too
strong position for them to over
come. resorted to strategy. They be-
gan saving through the grass stalk.
In few moments the stalk fell, and
hundreds Of ants pounced upon the
caterpillar. 1t was killed at once.

The next week the old inquiry was
made, and the people rejoined. 1--WE

"If you know you do not need me to
tell you" And again an abrupt close
to the services.
The third week the people were more
wary and replied, "Some of us know
and some do not know" And now
they expected to trap the man, but he
was wiser than they thought. LET
those who know tell those who do not
know" came his utterance, and the
people were trapped instead. Boston

A Rats Tail.

The great naturalist Cuvier says that
there are more muscles in this curious
appendage than are to be found in that
part Of the human anatomy which is
most admired for its ingenious struc-
ture-namely, the hand. To the rat, in
fact, its tail serves as a sort of hand,
by means of which the animal is en-
abled to crawl along narrow lodges or
other difficult passages, using it to bal
ance with or to gain hold. 1t is pre-
