Mr. t.rrUy'n T??ri't?nt of Siirecli. j
\ > ? 'y brilliant Irish holy some years
K.ro arranged that Mr. Leeky should
ncot an able ami famous Irishman of ,
\-ry advanced opinions in polities. It .
w is intended that they shouhl ex- .
hango views, ami the Irishman had a j
good deal to say a bunt Mi. Leeky *s
later work and was well aide to put
what he had to say in the most effective
language. The door opened and i
Mr. T>eky was atmouneed. lie was intrfitfticed
to the Irishman, and before
1 he latter had time to say anything the
historian, began a polilieal harangue
which he kept going without cessation
the whole time lie was there. The ,
Irishman at tirst tried to break in with [
a word, but lie was swept away, as it
wore, in the unceasing How of Mr. ,
I.ook.v's language: so after a time In?
sat in amused bewilderment, waiting
until nature Rave out. Itut when Mr.
I.eoky felt he was getting exhausted he '
rose, from his chair, shook hands with
the hostess ami her guest, keeping 011
talking all tiie time. They came out
with him to the top of the staircase,
but could not get a word edgeways
even then, as he talked all the way
down to the door and was even in an
unfinished senteneo when the door was
shut behind him. They looked at on eh
other and roared.?Freeman's Journal.
The Soldier Ant.
(
The bon is the king of beasts, but all
of his mngnitieent strength and feroc- 1
!ty would avail him nothing when ho !
faced a mere ant. Hut this ant is not 1
1110 usual kind whieii peacefully goes
about its domestic duties day by day.
It is the terrible driver or soldier ant,
said to be the most invincible creature
in the world.
Against llieso tiny enemies 110 man 1
or band of men. 110 lion or tiger nor
even ii herd of elephants, can do anytiling
but hurriedly get out el* the way. i
Among the T'a rot so natives a favorite. '
form of capital punishment is to coat
tlie victim with grease and throw him . |
before the advancing army of soldier ; j
ants. The quickness with wliich the ' ,
poor wretch is dispatched is marvelous j
when *t is considered that each ant r j
can do nothing more than merely tear t j
out a small particle of flesh and carry |
it off. Vet in a surprisingly short time
the writhing victim will have been
changed into a skeleton.
