ANTS KIDNAP THEIR FOES.
Raid Neighboring Villages and Carry Off Many Prisoners.
Dr. H. C. McCook tells of a species of kidnaping ants which make organized attacks on other ant villages for the purpose of capturing slaves. Here is an account of the attack:
"At last the muster is complete. Mysteriously, but effectively, the signal 'Forward' is given, and the column moves from the hill. There is no regular alignment, but a show of solidarity, a holding of the ranks within close compass and touch—a 'rout step,' in fact. There is no general; there are no subordinate officers, but such is the sympathetic unity that they seem to move in response to one will and command. If every warrior is a law unto himself the law so binds and animates and compels all alike that the ends of an organized cohort are served."
"Assault, battle and pillage follow quickly upon the sortie. The objective point of the march is not far away. A hundred yards distant is a Fuscan village. The route thereto lies across the edge of a grove, over a footpath, along a fallen tree, under whose shelter and shaded by tufts of grass is the devoted commune. It is feeble in numbers, and there is a bare show of defense as the freebooters hurl themselves upon the hill and plunge into the open gates. The villagers flee at the first onset through unassailed or secret passages. Some run the gaitlet through the assailing ranks. All who can carry a part of the family treasures—eggs, larvae and pupae. Like their Broddingnagian brothers of the human race, when disaster befalls their first care is for their offspring. The fugitives mount into nearby clumps of low wood plants, whence they look down upon the devastation of their homes—with what feelings? For one must suppose that the midgets do feel, though sometimes he would fain hope otherwise.
"Meanwhile the invaders issue from the gates, bearing in their jaws the Fuscan young and occasionally an adult. They take the home trail, but not in ordered ranks. It is go as you please now. They are welcomed back by their black confederates, who receive the captives and take them—their very own sisters perhaps—into the domestic quarters. The soldiers hurry back to the scene of action, for their work is not yet finished."—Harper's Magazine.
FACTS ABOUT ANAHEIM.
Sketch of the industries and Resources at the Most Beautiful Part of California.
The City of Anaheim, with a population of 2500, is situated in the northern part of Orange county, in Southern California, 12 miles from the ocean, 43 miles from the foothills, and 1481 feet above sea level. It is 27 miles from Los Angeles, the second largest city in the State of California.
The climatic conditions are the most favorable for outdoor life to be found in Southern California. The temperature is extremely uniform, seldom rising above 96 degrees in summer, or falling below 32 degrees in winter. The abundance of sunlight and the absence of sharp frosts and cold winds make it a place especially acceptable to those desiring to escape the severe climate of the east.
The country is very attractive. It is practically level, with just sufficient slope from the hills to afford adequate drainage. The roads are level, well graded, and well kept, affording excellent opportunities for cycling and driving. The soil is a rich sandy loam which never bakes, making it a very easy ground to work; thus lending itself readily to the cultivation of berries, nuts, oranges, etc.
The variety of products, and the possibility of procuring small tracts of land at low figures, and on easy terms, make our section of the county very attractive and advantageous for truck raising, or for farming on a small scale. The following are a few of the products: oranges, lemons, walnuts, grapes, peaches, apricots, sugar beets, berries and vegetables of all kinds.

The Saracens and the Moon.
The Saracens called the moon Cabar the Great, and the crescent still surmounts the Turkish mosques and is emblazoned on the green standard of the prophet. Schlegal mentions a story that Mohammed "wished to pass with his disciples as a person transfigured in a supernatural light and that the credulity of his followers saw the moon, or the moon's light, descend upon him, pierce his garments and replenish him.
"That veneration for the moon which still forms a national, or, rather, religious characteristic of the Mohammedans may perhaps have its foundation in the elder superstition or pagan idolatry of the Arabs."

FACTS ABOUT ORANGE CO.
The census bureau has issued a bulletin on agriculture in California which we quote from extensively in another part of this issue. One of the interesting features of the report is the paragraph giving the number of farms and acres of farming lands in the five Southern California counties. The pre-eminence of Orange county is apparent:
Counties. No. farms. Acres.
Los Angeles .6577 896,063
Orange .2350 569,038
Riverside .240 127,007
San Bernardino .2250 219,132
San Diego .2698 809,419
But it is in the acreage of irrigated lands that Orange county takes easy precedence over the other counties of Southern California:
Counties. Acres.
Los Angeles .85,644
Orange .41,549
Riverside .32,947
San Bernardino .37,877
San Diego .16,022
The area of Orange county is 780 square miles; that of Los Angeles, 3880; that of Riverside, 7008; that of San Bernardino, 20055; and that of San Diego, 8400 square miles.
Orange county thus contains one-fifth the area of Los Angeles; yet its irrigated lands approach in area to one-half those of its neighbor to the north.
Riverside embraces nine times its area; yet it irrigates 9000 more acres. or a fourth more than the belaued county on the east.
San Bernardino is 25 times its size; yet its irrigated acres exceed those of this jumbo county by nearly 4000, approximately ten per cent.
San Diego is eleven times its size; yet it irrigates 25,000 acres more than the county on the south—300 per cent is the former's irrigated area as compared with that of the latter—almost the irrigated area of San Diego and Riverside combined.
Orange county possesses the finest system of irrigation, the most secure water rights that exist in Southern California. That is what we have said many a time and off. These figures prove it. It is the handsomest and most productive county that lies outdoors and is settling up faster than any other in the State.

WALL STREET BROKERS.
What the Public Eyes to Keep Them In Business.
Wall street brokers hold themselves a million miles higher in caste than bookmakers. And they are right. They are the creme de la creme of finance. Bookies are the scum. Yet there are many bookmakers in the street, and not a few of them are backers of brokers. Some are big operators, supporting brokers by their commissions. There are 1,100 members of the Stock Exchange, and these represent brokerage and commission firms whose partnerships aggregate no less than 1,452 ablebodied men. It is safe to venture the assertion that each member of the exchange and his partners would turn up the nose at an income of less than $20,000 a year. Hence!
At $20,000 each year these brokers clean up net about $29,000,000. There are some 500 Stock Exchange firms which pay $3,000,000 annually for the rest of their offices. These firms employ 7,000 clerks and assistants, bookkeepers, runners, etc., at an average wage of $1,500, which makes $10,500,000. Thus we have in three items alone $42,500,000 that must come out of the pockets of customers to keep the great machine well oiled. That is to say, the public pays the sum of $42,500,000 annually for the privilege of supporting in splendid style 8,452 people in order that they may try their hands at telling which way a stock will go—New York Press.
HEALTH
"I don't think we could keep houses without Thedford's Black-Draught. We have used it in the family for over two years with the best of results. I know you had a doctor in the house for that length of time. It is a doctor in itself and always ready to make a person well and happy."—JAMES HALL, Jacksonville, Ill.
Because this great medicine relieves stomach pains, frees the constipated bowels and invigorates the torpid liver and weakened kidneys.
NO DOCTOR
is necessary in the home where Thedford's Black-Draught is kept. Families living in the country, miles from any physician, have been kept in health for years with this medicine as their only doctor. Thedford's Black-Draught cures biliousness, dyspepsia, colds, chills and fever, bad blood, headaches, diarrhoea, constipation, colic and almost every other aliment because the stomach, bowels liver and kidneys so nearly control the health.
THEDFORD'S BLACK-DRAUGHT
The Irish type of beauty that cannot usually be described. There is anasion, an air of something akimess almost in every real Irish something interesting that has attention more than mere skiliness. "I have been in most of Europe," says a traveler in "but never did I see so many beautiful women as I saw in Ireland." They were not visitors. No mistaking the wonderful grief of 'Dark Rosaline.'"

MODERN UTOPIAS.
European Countries In Which Pauperism Is Unknown.
Denmark claims that there is not a single person in her domain who cannot read and write. On the northeast coast of New Guinea the island of Kutaba, surrounded by a wall of coral 800 feet high on one side and from 50 to 100 feet on the other, maintains thirteen villages of natives, to whom war, crime and poverty have been unknown since the beginning of their traditions. The most peaceful and comfortable community in Europe is the commune of the Canton Vaud, in Switzerland. Nearly every one is well off, and there are no paupers. Finland is a realm whose inhabitants are remarkable for their inviolate integrity. There are no banks and no safe deposits, for no such security is essential. You may leave your luggage anywhere for any length of time and be quite sure of finding it untouched on your return, and your purse full of money would be just as secure under similar circumstances. The Finns place their money and valuables in holes in the ground and cover them with a big leaf. Such treasure is sacredly respected by all who pass it, but in the rare event of a man wishing to borrow of his neighbor during his absence he will take only the smallest sum he requires and place a message in the hole telling of his urgent need and promising to repay the amount on a specified date. And he will invariably keep his word, for the Finn is invincible in his independence.
Agneta Park, near Delft, in Holland, is another Utopia example. A tract of ten acres has upon it 150 houses, each with its little garden and with certain common buildings and common grounds. The houses are occupied by the employees of a great distilling company, who form a corporation which owns the park. Each member owns shares in the corporation and pays rent for his house. The surplus, after all expenses have been paid, comes back to him as dividend. If he wishes to go away or if he dies his shares are bought up by the corporation and sold to the man who takes his place—Detroit Free Press.

Origin of the Letter V.
The Letter V may be regarded as the initiated remains of one of the symbols used by the ancient Egyptians in their hieroglyphics or picture writing. Common animal in their country was the two horned sand viper, a representation of which stood for V. The rabid proverb: All sunshine makes desert.
Many a hard working young woman spends her noon hour in an endeavor to get a little rest to carry her through the remaining hours of the day. She is weak and weary, but she cannot give up the occupation which supports her. She must go back to the office and the typewriter, to the store and its daties, with tiresome customers to wait on and exacting employers to please.
For people who are weak and run down there is no medicine so valuable as Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. It cures diseases of the stomach and other organs of digestion and nutrition. Many diseases in organs remote from the stomach have their origin in a diseased condition of the stomach and its allied organs. When the stomach is "weak" there is a failure to properly digest and assimilate the food which is eaten. Hence the whole body, and each organ of it, suffers from lack of nutrition, that as a consequence of "weak" stomach, there may be "weak" lungs, "weak heart," "weak" or torpid liver, "weak" nerves, etc. By curing diseases of the stomach and other organs of digestion, "Golden Medical Discovery" enables the assimilation of the nutritent necessary for the requirement of a healthy body. It increases the activity of the blood-making glands, and so increases the supply of blood which is the vital fluid of the body.
There is no alcohol in the "Discovery" and it is entirely free from opium, cocaine, and all other narcotics.
Sick and ailing people especially those suffering from disease in its chronic form are invited to consult Dr. Pierce by letter free. All correspondence is held as strictly private and secretly confidential. Address Dr. R. V. Pierce, Buffalo, N.Y.
There is no similar offer of free medical advice which has behind it an institute of national note such as the Invalid's Hotel and Surgical Institute, Buffalo, N.Y., presided over by Dr. Pierce, its chief consulting physician, with the assistance of nearly a score of skilled specialists.
"The Wonderful Medicians."
"I must again send a few lines to you to let you know how I am getting along since taking the wonderful medicine which curd me two years ago," writes Miss Bertha Robert, of East Benton St., Louis Mo. "I still continue in very good health and think there is not a better medicium on earth than this body could want." I took five bottles of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery and it just made me feel like a new person. It gives a person new life and new blood. I can now work all day long without feeling least bit tired. In fact I feel like a worm."
My mother was also cared by it of a very bad state of somach trouble about three years ago. I thank you a thousand times for what you have done for me and for your kind advice.

Life and Sun.
All the energy of life is derived ultimately from the sun. A little of this comes indirectly through lightning which in passing through the air forms ammonia and oxides of nitrogen. These being carried by rain into the ground, are the constant source of nitrogen for vegetable and indirectly for animal life. A much larger quantity of energy is well known to be taken direct from the sunshine by plants and used in their anabolic processes. This energy is appropriated by animals in their food, and whether in the vegetable or in the animal it assists in any alternations of the system before it is completely dispersed.

Origin of the Letter V.
The letter V may be regarded as the infiltrated remains of one of the symbols used by the ancient Egyptians in their hieroglyphics or picture writing. A common animal in their country was the two horned sand viper, a representation of which stood for V. The insects ultimately found that for the practical purposes of everyday life it was a waste of time to use elaborate heroglyphics and invented a kind of northland to meet the occasion. In this snake was reduced to a V with dash (V—) to represent horns and body.
The Phoenixians adopted this letter, and from them we get our V by loss of the dash, leaving only the two little horns of the original picture. This snake is still common in Egypt and is probably the one mentioned in Genesis 16:17. Dan shall be a serpent by the day, an adder in the path, that biteth the horse heels, so that his rider shall fall backward." Travelers tell us that it is still addled to this applaudable habit.
Beauties of Ireland.
Dublin can and does boast of many superlatives. It has the widest street and the largest public park in Europe, the first horse show in the world and the largest brewery, but certainly the safest of all its claims is that advanced in behalf of its women. It is really no exaggeration to say that in city in the world will one see so many beautiful women as one does in Irish capital.
There is something too about the Irish type of beauty that cannot be really described. There is an expression, an air of something skim to sell almost, in every real Irish thing interesting, that holds the attention more than mere skin deep beauty. "I have been in most capitals Europe," says a traveler in Ireland, but never did I see so many really beautiful women as I saw in Dublin, and they were not visitors. There was a mistaking the wonderful gray eyes 'Dark Rosaline.'"
The Bridal Veil.
The origin of the bridal veil is a disputed question that will probably never be settled. Some see in it nothing more than a milliner's substitute for the usual flowing tresses which half concealed and half revealed a bride's beauty as she knelt at the altar. This opinion is countenanced by the fact that Elizabeth Stuart was not thought to require an artificial veil, as nature had given her an alliance of hair.
Others see its origin in the veil of the Hebrews' marriage ceremony or the yellow "danimeum" of old Roman brides.
A third source is the old "care cloth" of the Anglo-Saxons, a square vestment held over both bride and bridegroom till they received the nuptial benediction. So runs the use of the church of Sarum and the Hereford missal.
Lastly, it has been held to be merely an amplification of the colf which medieval brides wore between the garland and their hair. Margaret Tudor wore this under her coronet on her marriage to the king of Scotland.

ELY BROTHERS,
Warren St
We sat at the table—the alderman, the doctor and I. The subject of dieting was brought up in conversation. "No man," said the alderman, "can tell me what I ought to eat without knowing my habits of life, my temperament and all—is that not so, doctor?" "Perfectly right," said he, "what suits your stomach may not fit mine, and yet nine men out of ten are presumptuous enough to tell you what you ought to eat." "Yes," said I, "they don't appreciate that there is just as great a difference between two men's stomachs as there is between their brains. Overwork some men's stomachs and they will easily respond to the task, just as some men's brains can take care of endless details, but the majority will break down with the overload." "Indigestion," said the doctor, "is not a disease but an admonition—it is the red persist. Bitters and alcoholic medicines are poor means for stimulating the stomach to perform a larger share of work than it ought. The effect on the stomach is like the spur to the weary horse—it weakens him and shortens his life. A rational treatment," continued the doctor, "is moderate eating of wholesome foods, and only those which the person likes. Occasionally, say, once a week, a dinner pill should be taken which should be entirely of vegetable ingredients—like Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets—that will not purge, but act gently on the liver, stomach and bowels. To my mind the main dependence for curing permanently the indigestion which has become chronic—the 'heart-burn,' the sour eructations, the worst cases of dyspepsia—is that alterative extract made from medicinal herbs that Doctor Pierce calls his 'Golden but it simply goes to work in the right way—correcting the liver, purifying the blood and assimilating the food so that the stomach takes up its labors with activity and refreshed powers. It fills the arteries with the pure, rich, red blood of health. It tears down, and carries off old, inert and half-dead tissues and replaces them by new. It builds firm, healthy flesh. It makes the muscles strong and elastic and steadies and tones the nerves. It cures debility and weakness of every description."
W. Walter McGloshen, of Reinbeck, Iowa, writes: "I took only four bottles of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery and two vials of his 'Pleasant Pellets,' and these remedies did me a world of good. I am thankful for your kind advice and praise the medicines highly. Will recommend Dr. Pierce's medicines to all my friends as the best medicines ever made for the troubles for which they are recommended. There is nothing equal to them for stomach troubles."
C. P. Spencer, of Plano, Okla., wrote: "I can hardly express my thanks for the benefit I have received from taking Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery and 'Pleasant Pellets.' They worked like a charm in my case. Am in better health now than for some time, and will not fail to recommend your medicines to my suffering friends. I hope you will receive my thanks for the good your medicine has done me."
She—“I just know you don’t love me as you did.” He—“But, darling, how can you think that?” “Because you are not half so foolish as you were.”
Children’s Coughs and Colds.
Mrs. Joe McGrath, 327 E. 1st St. Hutchinson, Kan., writes: “I have given Ballard’s Horehound syrup to my children for coughs and colds for the past four years, and find it the best medicine I ever used. Unlike many cough syrups, it contains no opium, but will soothe and heal any disease of the throat or lungs quicker than any other remedy. 25c, 50c and $1, at J. P. Hatzfeld’s, Anaheim.
‘How did you get your black eye, Sambo?’ “Well, boss, yer see I wus out a-lookin’ for trouble, and dis ‘re eye wus de fust t’ find it.’”
Tragedy Averted
“Just in the nick of time our little boy was saved” writes Mrs. W. Watkins of Pleasant City, Ohio. “Pneumonia had played sad havoc with him and a terrible cough set in besides. Doctors treated him; but he grew worse every day. At length we tried Dr. Kings New Discovery for Consumption, and our darling was saved. He’s now sound and well.” Everybody ought to know, it’s the only sure cure for Coughs, Colds and all Lung diseases. Guaranteed by J. P. Hatzfeld, Druggist. Price 50c and $1.00. Trial bottles free.
“Did you ever engage in an automobile race?” “Yes, once.” “How did you come out?” “On crutches two months later.”

Hatzfeld’s drug store.
Evolution of the Bed.
Bedstead originally meant “the bed place.” The truckle bed was the first advance on the bench, and then the tester suspended from the roof. Then came in the Arabian bed—a name perhaps derived from the crusades. The four poster came from Austria in the fifteenth century. The late Queen Victoria always carried her bedstead about with her, and so did the nobles in the middle ages. The coverld or counter-

THE SANDERS-ARNOTT DISC PLOW.

Evolution of the Bed.
Bedstead originally meant "the bed place." The truckle bed was the first advance on the bench, and then the tester suspended from the roof. Then came in the Arabian bed—a name perhaps derived from the crusades. The four poster came from Austria in the fifteenth century. The late Queen Victoria always carried her bedstead about with her, and so did the nobles in the middle ages. The coverlid or counterpoint, whence comes counterpane, was often splendidly embroidered. Yet the beds at this time were often only sacks of straw. Feather beds came from France in the fourteenth century, but straw was in general use long after. Blankets of wool were not introduced by Blanket of Bristol, who made them, for the word, in the sense of a coarse woolen fabric, existed before.
Very Absent-minded.
The celebrated German historian Theodor Mommsen was the most absentminded of men. Once while going from Berlin to Charlottenburg, a half hour's journey, the trolley car in which he rode went off the track. The rest of the passengers took another car and went ahead, and the stranded vehicle was abandoned till help could be found. Mommsen remained reading his book. An hour or two later the sound of jacks, levers, derricks, etc., arpused him. Rising from his seat, he went to the door and, with the most complete unconcern imaginable, remarked, "I suppose we have come to a standstill."
