Tbe ant* which are really protective to plants are not those which obtain their food. Indirectly for tbe most part through the aphides, from the vegeta ble kingdom, but those which are real ly carnivorous. These are numerous In temperate climates, nnd their useful ness to agriculture and sylviculture Is j Incontestable. Thus the Held ant is ;i i great Insect destroyer. A nest of this ! species Is capable of destroying as many ns twenty-eight caterpillars and grasshoppers a minute, or 1,000 an hour, nnd such a colony is at work day and night during the pleasant seuson. In tbe arid plains of America the beneAcent work of unts Is revealed In tbe Isles of verdure around their bills. There are plants hospitable to ants, which furnish them sheTOr and often food, within tbe cavities of which tbe Instincts of tbe ants prompt them to take their abode. This Is the case with several ferns, among them the Polypodium nectarlferum, the sterile fronds of which bear neotarle# on their lower face and are. moreover, of a shape favorable to sheltering tbe In sect. ef ■ Tralee* Sant. “I used to wonder why It was that I noticed so many young women lugging suit cases all over town.” said the man on tbe street corner. "At first I thought perhaps they were Independent young persons who were on their way to tbe Grand Central station or to the ferry boats to take trains, but then 1 no- | i(ped them In parts of the town where they couldn't possibly be making for a railroad station, since they were go ing In the wrong directions. Now I have learned who these women are. Moat of them are trained nurses. When they leave tbe hospitals or their homes to attend a ease they pack their uni forms and other necessaries In these suit cases, which they carry with them. 8o when you see a young wom an carrying a suit cane and bound In a direction away from a boat or railroad station It's very likely she’s a trained nurse and Is either starting out to at tend a case or Is returning from one.” —New York Press. muoh iim eating the delicious blooks. ; Mr. and Mr*.

A world without mistakes und with out suffering would he a world without real men and women, without litera ture, without music, without painting or sculpture nnd without love, and even without history, for history Is a record of struggles toward better and higher things. Without obstacles to overcome nnd errors to correct men nnd women would lapse to a level with | beasts In mentality. Intellectual and spiritual development would cease and souIh not reAned by the Are of ordeals would die of something akin to fatty degeneration. The races would perish of ennui or Inunlty. After all.

The famous Russian monarch, consumed with curiosity as to the distance be tween Asia and America, started. In 1725, the first of the expeditions that at Inst revealed those haunts of the bear, the beaver, tbe ermine and tbe senl. But Captain Cook told more about tbe Islands than did all the Rus sian explorers before him. The Price. If one sets one's heart on the ex ceptional, the far off—on riches, on fame, on power—the chances are he will Ik; disappointed. He will waste his time seeking a short cut to these things. There is no short cut. For anythiug worth having one must pay the price, aud the price is always work, patience, love, self sacrlAce—no prom ise to pny, but the gold of real service. HI* Kline. An unpopular man who was reftised membership In a certain urlstoeratic club had the audacity to write to the club secretary demanding tbe name of the man who blackballed him.
