FAMILY LIFE IN ANT TOWN.
Helpers. Nurses and Slaves DO the
Household Orudgery.

After a nights rain. above the inter
section of the brick walk. one may see
In the morning. here and there. a little
heap of sand with a hole in its center
about as big around as a match. and
going in and out of this portal hurry
ing lines of brown ants. 1t will be well
worth ones time TO stoop down for n
moment or two. for a community of
ants is an interesting study. says the
indianapolis News.
Perhaps you have failed to notice in
the earlier days of summer a swarm
of insects which you carelessly called
gnats. These were in all likelihood
male and female ants. and this was
their wedding dance. The males fall
and die. and the females. plucking off
their W wings. for which they have
no further use. enter the ground to
lay eggs for new colonies.
The eggs are white and cylindrical.
The sexless ants, called neuters or
workers. pick up these eggs and carry
them to special chambers, where in
two weeks they become larvae. Stu
dents of ant life say that a troop of
nurses now cares for the larvae. feed
the infants. give them a daily sun
bath and keep them clean. These nurs-
cry ants are at first white. then gradu-
ally change to brown. but they are as
yet only embryo. When the time comes
the workers tear off the envelope pro-
tecting them. Each one is set free.
the nurses feeding and caring for it
until 1t is able to walk and never
leaving 1t until it is able to care for
itself. In time the males and females
rise into the air. the males to perish as
their fathers did before them and the
females TO return to the ant hill to
lay eggs for a new colony.
A troublesome little ant is the blood
red ant which invades our homes and
is specially fond of sweets. 1t is said
of this species that it makes special
attacks on colonies of small black ants
and forces them to do all the house
keeping about their ant hills. The red
ants are said to take great care of
these slaves. which are taught to do
everything for their red taskmasters,
to lick them clean, to brush them. to
carry them on their backs and to rear
their young for them.

PRESSING HINTS.

IL you desire to press a dress
trimmed with buttons or n plack-
ct fastened with hooks and eyes
this suggestion may help you.
Place a heavy bath towel folded
several times upon the ironing
board.
Arrange your dress, buttons
down, and over it place a damp
cloth.
Iron over this and you will not
be able to detect marks or smooth
glossy spots caused by the but
tons.
Treat the placket in the same
manner.

Life does seem hard" Mrs

conversation. eTYe Just had a let

can't go"
@Why not7" asked Mrs. Brown
"Oh, it would be perfectly impos-
sible. There's the sewing and the
cleaning. besides everything else
I've got to stay here"
Suppose you died suddenly.
What then?"
"0h, then, Of course, they'd just
have to get along somehow"
eThen why not live suddenly and
let them get along somehow, Just
the same7"

American Bankers association.
Visitors to the south should try to
get at first hand some idea of the race
question. Your acquaintance with it,
If you live in certain parts of the
north, may have been gained from
Uncle Toms Cabin If you are aged,
or more from the columns of newspa-
pers which detail lynchings, if you are
young. When you get on a street car
in New Orleans you will find that there
Is separate compartment for colored
people.
In getting around town you will
notice that the attitude of the colored
people to the white people is polite
and respectful, and you will notice
that the attitude of the white people
toward the colored people is not con-
sfdered unkindly. In spite of the
lynchings of which you have read, you
will be surprised how may colored peo-
pie are left. You will find that they
do not live in a perpetual terror of
their lives, the average colored man
or woman in the south is a better cit
izen than in your own section of the
country.
''You will find that there is no acute
race problem down here, that millions
Of white people and millions of ne
groes live in the same cities and in the
same communities, there being no
considerable amount of friction be-
tween the races. You will find that
the best Of the white people in the
south look upon the best class of ne
groes in a friendly way, as a valu-
able and almost indispensable indus
trial element
"You will find that the best element
of the white people in the south wants
to see absolute justice given to the
negro before the law, that he Is en-
couraged to the thrifty and to learn
those things that will be useful to
him, that he is encouraged to earn,
and respected If he saves.
You will find. that not one in
telligent and thoughtful negro in
fifty wants a ballot in the south You
will find that the negroes feel that
they are far better off since they got
out of politics and leave the voting
to the white people. In New Orleans
and throughout Louisiana and Missis-
sippi you will find large and well-be-
haved negro populations. You will
find an increase among the negro pop
ulation and in spite of the discourag-
ing experiences that individuals will
relate, you will find the gradual ten
dency toward self-government among
the negroes.
1T is true that whisky is almost as
bad for negroes as it is for Indians.
1t is true that the negroes are not
fitted to survive the vices and dissi-
pations of great city. In your own
section of the country it is the bad
front in the newspapers, whether he
be malefactor of great wealth or a
malefactor who wants great wealth. So
among the negroes, both here and else
where, 1t is too often the bad ones who
get into the newspapers and bring
discredit upon the millions of substan-
tiau, respectful hard-working members
of their race.
When you go north you can tell
people who want to come south that
no negro problem makes the south
an undesirable place in which to live,
that there are about as many bad ne
groes in the cities of the north as
there are in the cities of the south, for
we drive away a good many of our
bad negroes from the south and they
go north"
The Colorado statesman., 1912-02-03

There are about 100000 foreigners
now in the south, and $4,000 came here
last year; a large majority of these
foreigners are ignorant, and only a
few are members of a Christian de-
nomination. If they are not Chris.
tianized they will heathenize the south.
Let the foreigners come into the south
in large numbers and the white peo-
pie of this southland will have more
than a negro problem on their hands.
If the foreigner comes in large num-
bers in the south the negro will leave.
This the southland people do not want
in sense, for tLey cannot use the for
eigner in their business as servant
like they can the negro. So they real
ly prefer the negro to the foreigner as

# Fermentation Is an action set up by
various kinds of germs. and Prof.
Fernbach found the germ that would
convert certain plentiful starchy mate
rails into fusels oil, and from this fusel
oil he obtained cheap isoprene. It
was this isoprene which DR.. Matthews

William Ramsay and his associates
believe that rubber can be made in
this way; at cost OF about "a cents
