Ant Colonic.
An nut nest or colony arises from
eggs laid by one or more "queens."
The developing young are tended by
the sexless neuters, or "workers." The
maggots, or larval nnlfc. are fed by
them, often nourished out of the
nurses' months, and are us carefully
watched In respect of the temperature
and other conditions of the nurseries
as are infantile human beings. When
full development occurs the pupne
change Into ants, which arc either
winged or wingless. The lnttcr are the
"neuters," or workers. They may de
velop big Jawfe and appear ns the "sol
diers" of tho colony. Those which niv
winged are the founders of now colo
nies. They are of both sexes and they
produce the eggs whence tho new gen
erations will be evolved.

Wives are still obtained by purchase
in some parts of Russia. In tho dis
trict of Kamyshin, on tho Volga, for
example, this is practically the only
way In which marriages arc brought
nbout. The price of a pretty girl from
a well to do family ranges from $100
to $200, and In special cases a much
higher sum is obtained. In the vil
lages tho lowest price is about J?2fi. It
is customary for the fathers of tho In
tending brido and bridegroom to hag

A ROYAL FEATHER CLOAK.

Wlirn King Kalnk.um of Huwnll vis

very ntixlous to exhibit to the Japanese
his famous royal fenther iioak. It
did not lot 1; well draped o r the regu

based on Iluropiiwi n.ll.tr.ty u.oJils.
It was out of the question to wear it
drnped o'er brown cuticle, ns was the
ancient f onion. Finally It was de
cided to let Hubert, one of bis nttend
mts, wear It. William X. Armstrong,
the king's attorney guncral, said: "This
additional yorvioe delighted Robert,
who now, according to n confidential
statement made to his Japanese nt
temlnnt, was 'keeper of tho royal stand
ard,' 'groom of the feather cloak' and
'valet in ordinary.' While in the Im

was scarcely equal to the dignity that
was his. In bis capacity of valet ho
preceded the parly to the palace as
signed to them, and discovered there

ho consumed until they nnived. llo

AN ODD PROCESSION.
Tlnr Worm Tlint Trnvcl In a IjOiik
Scrpcnttlkc MnRM.
The sclara. of the genus tipulx, n
tiny wormllke creature which Is found
In the forests of Norway and Hungary
during the month of July or early in
August, gather in huge numbers pre
paratory to migrating in search of food
or for a change of conditions. When
setting out on this Journey, they stick
themselves together by means of some
glutinous mutter nnd form n huge ser
pontllLo inns, often reaching n length
of between forty and llf ty feet and sev
eral inches in tlilckmw. As the solum
Is only on nu average of nbout three
thirty-seconds of an Inch In length,
with no appreciable breadth whatever,
tho number required to form a continu
ous line of the size nbove mentioned Is
incalculable.
Their pate Is of course very slow,
and upon meeting an obstacle, such ns
a utlch or stone, they cither writhe over
or around It, sometimes breaking Into
two bodies for the purpose. A cele
brated French naturalist says that If
I tho rear portion of this snakellke pro
J cession be brought into contact with
I the front part the insects will keep
' moving round In that circle for hours,
never seeming to realize that tlie are
getting no further on their Journey. If
tho portions bo broken In two, the pro
cession will unite In a short time. When
j the peasant meets one of these proces
sions, he will lay some obstacle In front
j of It. If it passes over it, it is a good
om'en.

IVliut Converted Illiu.
This story regarding u converted bar
barian Is told in the English papers:
A negro clergyman was entertained nt
tea by the president of a college. The
guest, who came from west Africa, re
tailed some particulars of his early
life, when n ludy asked him how he
became a Chrlstlau. "Tho story of
Jezebel converted me," he answered.
"You know, we are told the dogs did
not touch the palms of her hands. Well,
that convinced me of the truth of tho
narrative, for we never eat the palms
of the hands In my country. They ure
too bitter."
