VVIII-ll ll klvyllluilvnl Us V Vvv vvv -u-v-u There are many species of ants which are incapable of managing their own nests or of rearing their young, and these in consequence impress into their service the workers of other species of ants and leave all the rough work to their captives. Periodically the master ants set 01! on a slave hunting expedi- tion. They nd out the nest of a special ant whose aid they need. They raid it and, overcoming its defenders, enter and bear oi! triumphantly the pupa. _ These are carried to the masters nest, where they are speedily hatched, and knowing no other home and forced by instinct. to work they toil industriously for their masters. So lazy and dependent upon \ their willing slaves do the master ants` become that at length they are unable to feed themselves. Food has been placed before these lords of the ant cre- ation, and they would not even take the trouble to eat. Then some slave ante were introduced. They tidied `up the place and fed their masters.

Kilbourne, surgeon United States army, before the Association of Military Sur- geons of the United States, he advocated the theory that the physical power of a race or people-and consequently their capacity for work-is measured by their average stature. For every inch of height between ve and six feet the ex- treme breathing capacity is increased eight cubic inches. the vital capacity being at its maximum at 35 years. A table of measurements of 190,621 native white Americans, accepted for the mili- tary service of the United States, shows that the number of men below 68 inches in height is but little greater than that of the class above 73 inches. The most numerous class is included, between 67. and 69 inches, and this standard class would have a eater chest girth than the average. he mean height of 185 United States naval cadets above the age of 23 years was 67.80 inches. As these men are drawn from all. parts and classes of the United States they repre- sent very nearly the typical physical development of the American people at 25 year of age. 11-.--.. 1'7:n.-...._- Anunn`un:`na 4-Lab 6|-A 'n_-u-:'vAAIaa sup TO as THE MOST_ IN- TELLIGENT or-' msac1's.f V IJ\I5 VI He was found by two men, standing, with one hand on the root of a fallen tree, steadying himself with. a lathin the other and swaying as if walking, but not stirring his'fe'et-a dazed, tot- tering wreck of hip former self, mur- mnring in an incoherent way: " u~n--.. u_-....u I3`.-- |.-..-a rm.-- `.... -1!

Absorbed into the body of the people, these multitudes must irretriev- ably evolve an inferiority of type. To realize the result of such a contingency let it be considered that the loss of an inch in stature might bring in its train the loss of national ascendancy. Let us take care, then, that the state shall suffer no injury.-Bcston Transcript. The V Popular Bide Bomb.

Neglected Children. Mr. J. J. Kelso, the Superintendent of the Department of Neglected and Dependent Children, has compiled a valuable statement in regard to the number of. emigrant chil- dren received in the Province of Ontario from Great Britain. In the period between 1872 and 1898, 28,945 have been brought in. Of these, 6,611 came under the auspices of the Marchmen-t_ Home; 6,536 from, Dr. Barnado's Homes ; 1,471 from Dr. Stephen- son s Home ; 4,400 from Miss Rye s Homes; 3.897 from Miss MacPherson s Home ; 1,400 from Mr. J. W. C. Fegan s Home; 2,500 from "William Quafrier s Homes ; 1,000 under the agency of Mr. Middlemire; and 130 under the auspices of the Gurthured Roman Catholic Emigration Society. Of the total. 19,267 were boys and 10.678 girls. In addition, Mr. Kelso writes, over 10,000 children have been placed in homes in other parts of Canada ; but On- tario has always been regarded as the most desirable province for this class of work.-- As to the effect of the immigration work, Mr. Kelso is of the opinion that if it is car- ried on with discretion it need not be injur- ious to the best interests of Canada. He confesses that "there has been some poor work in the past and some undesirable fea- tures ; but there has -also been much that is good and commendable. He is of opinion that the law passed in 1897 by the Legisla- ture of Ontario making the inspection in England more thorough and efhcient, will have a wholesome -effect. He pleads with the people of Ontario to give the new law a fair trial and to extend their sympathy and cooperation to the work.-Packet.

The two former are winged, and their sole duty in life is to multiply their species. Immediately after pairing the male ants die, and the queens, re- nouncing the pomps and vanities of this world, heneeforward devote themselves to the duties of maternity. To the lot of the neuters falls` all the work. Some` of them are told of! towait on the queens, whom they feed and care for with the greatest attention. Each batch of eggs, as con as they are laid, are carried away and deposited in the hatch- ing chambers open to the rays of the sun. The workers nurse the ant babies when they appear, putting them in the warm upper galleries by day and re- moving them at night into the snuggest lower chambers. ._, LI. _I --_____I _._.....l__. soc. and sum; anaruggisu.

It is these cocoons that are sold as ants eggs; the real eggs are so minute that even the ants themselves could not pick them up in their mandi- bles were not several fastened together by a natural gum. Queen ants, accord- ing to Sir John Lubbock, live as long as ten years, while Dr. Dallinger states that worker ants live from four to six years. The queen ants are treated with the utmost reverence, and _while the oorpse of a worker ant is usually imme- diately disposed of the body of a queen is often preserved as long as 18 months after its death. 1. _,__ -S_.__.I_ _._j A.____ :Tryiour'-1 Rheumatic Specific or Kidney and Liver Pills BEWARE OF SPURIOUS IMITATIONS!

Part of the nest is above the ground and part below it. These houses are often 40 stories in height, and are built` of stones, leaves. sticks and earth. The subterranean part is honeycombed into passages and cells and all the tunnels and galleries run into one common center--the public hall of the ant colony. The government is a republic, and various colonies have been known to mass together for the purpose of defense. A Swiss scientist has discovered -a regular empire of ants, covering an area of 800 square yards, and containing 200 colonies or republics with a population of 40,000,000 ants.
