ON THEIR WEDDING DAY
Time Of Turmoil and Tragedy fer
Many Of the Small Creatures
Of the Earth.

A recent epidemic Of ants in differ
emit parts Of the country is really due
to the fact that the ants we're cele-
brating their wedding day. remarks
the London Times. They were out on
their marriage flight and honeymoon.
Generally speaking. there are three
kinds of ants in this countryside
workers, the winged males, whose life
is q short and merry one; and the
young queens, who live in charge Of
the queen mother. In the summer,
when the weather Ia favorable, the
winged males and the young queens
leave the nest for the marriage
flight. The latter race away pursued
by the ardent wooers, who fall in
their thousands to enterprising swal-
lows, missing their way and dropping
to rest their tired wings on any OBJ
ject within reach. But the young
queen flies on. She is strong of wing,
for her husband must be the best Of
the crowd. The crowd Of pursuers
dwindle from myriads to thousands,
from thousands to hundreds, to dozens,
until at last only one is left.
That was the meaning Of the plague
Of ants. It was the marriage festival
and the winged ants we saw In u
gardens we're the unlucky crowd C
mourners left behind, trying to find
their way home. On her return t
her new-chosen nest, the queen spends
the afternoon chewing off her wings.
These are now useless, seeing that
she must no more leave the ant-hill.
Henceforward she spends her days
f%uriously laying eggs.

preached, This matter was the plans
for county hospital, 1t was stat
ed that there We're petitions being
circulated asking the county COM
missioners to provide accommoda-

ris suggested that the proposed ex-
penditure of $1,000 for the accom-
modations was entirely too small to
warrant the calling of an election
and proposed that a better plan
would be to petition the commission
ers to appropriate this amount and
save the expense of from $500 70
$500 for holding an election. He
said there was no doubt but that the
commissioners had ample authority
to make such an appropriation. Fol
