THE SOUTHERN WORLD, JULY 15,1882.

jieople represented moved, talked, laughed
and cried just like real people. The scene
was that of a dining-room in which a family
was gathered around the table.
“That’s our house!” exclaimed May.
“ Yes, and there's Mamma, and Fapa, Clara,
and everybody else—and me, too. How
strange! ”
As she spoke a petulant voice cried out,
“ Now, I want that big sugar cake! ”
The voice came from May in the picture.
“Don’t be selfish, dear," said Mamma in
the picture.
“ I want it," whined Mny several times.
“ I supjKjse slic’d have to have it, for peace
sake,” said Mamma.
“No, indeed, she shall not,” interposed
l’apa; “ give the cake to Susie.” Thereupon
Mav began to kick and scream so hard, thal
Papa carried her from the room.
The second picture showed the same little
girl quarreling with a very small boy about
a trifling toy. Finally she seized the toy,
knocked the little fellow over in the strug
gle, and ran away, without even stopping to
see if he were hurt.
A third picture displayed another in
stance, in which the selfish child was shown
off to very bod advantage. Indeed, a fourth,
fifth, and sixth, represented some naughty
action of the same little girl.
“Howdid you like it?" asked the strange
lady, when the entertainment was over.
“ It was all me,” replied Mary, looking
very much ashamed.
The fact was, the scenes exhibited had
really occurred at Mary's home during the
past week, and, of course, Mary had been
the principal actor. And now that she had
seen herself as others saw her, she realized
wlmt a very wicked girl she was.
“ Will you try to have a better panorama,
next time?” asked the lady, kindly.
“ Yes, ma’am, I will,” May said earnestly;
and then she began to rub her eyes, and the
hall disappeared, and her guide too; and the
little girl found that she was still lying in
her bed—the panorama had been ail a
dream.
Dut Mary never forgot that dream. It did
her more good than the severest scolding
could have done. So she tells us now, for
that happened a great many years ago, and
little May has grown to be a sweet old lady,
Insects as Talk cm.
“Two ants,” says Buchner, "when they
are talking together, stand with their heads
opposite to each other, working their sens!
live feelers in the liveliest manner, and tap
ping each other’s head.” Numerous exam
pies prove that they are able in this way to
make mutual communications and even on
certain definite subjects. " I have often,”
says the English naturalist, Jesse, “placed
a small greeu caterpillar in the neighborhood
of an ant’s nest. It is immediately seized
by an ant, which calls in the assistance of a
friend after ineffectual efforts to drag the
caterpillar into the nest. It can be easily
seen that the little creatures hold a conver
sation by means of their feelers, and this
being ended they repair together to the
caterpillar in order to draw it into the nest
by their united strength. Further, I have
observed the meeting of ants on their way
to and from their nests. They stop, touch
each other with their feelings, and appear
to hold a conversation, which, I have good
reason to suppose, refers to the best ground
for food." Hague writes a letter to Darwin
that he one day killed with his fingers
uumbv of ants who came every day from
hole in the wall to some plants standing on
the chimney piece. He had tried the effect
of brushing them away, but it was of no
use, and the consequence of the slaughter
was that the ants who were on their way ini
mediately turned back und tried to persuade
their companions, who were not yet aware
of their danger, to turn back also. A short
conversation ensued between the ants,
which, however, did not result in an imme
diate return, for those who had just left the
nest convinced themselves of the truth of
the re{>ort.
Curtis Guild, in “Abroad Again” gives
many bloody recollections of the Colosseum
but he says amid them all comes to us
record of another character, that of a prac
tical joke that is recorded to have been per
petrated by the Emperor Gallienus, son
of Valerian. The story runs that the empe'
ror’s wife, having been cheated by the jew-
eller, and demanded a terrible punishment
upon him, and one that should be a warn
ing to all jewellers in future of the danger
of cheating an empress. Gallienus assented
the fellow was arresetd and sentenced to be
thrown to the wild beasts in the arena. He
was dragged there, half dead with fright,
when the next games took place, and at
the appointed time, when his part of the
performance was to occur, was thrust forth
into the ring, where half-fainting with ter
ror be sank down upon the red sand as the
bronze portculluB of the wild bcusts’ den
was hoisted, when instead of a hungry lion
springing upon him, or a terrible tiger leap
ing forth, out walked an old hen 1 In reply
to the indignant demand for an explanation
by the empress, her imperial consort de
clared that to be simple; for as the man had
according to her account, terribly cheated
her, so he had been terribly cheated in re
turn.
A Missouri woman wns astounded when a
man took her suddenly In his arms and
jumped into a pond with her; but grateful
when she learned that her dress had been
in a blaze, which the leap extinguished.
