exhibition of a practical character of
the many inoousiateuoes for which the
Mowat Cabinet are so noted. Mr.
Mowat's protection differs greatly from
the protective policy of the Dominion
Government, insomuch as it secures
a monopoly to only three publishing
firms in Toronto ; while the National
Policy proteose all industries alike

A Battle or Ants.
A number of persons were standing
in front of the city Hall, Deaver, the
other afternoon. A large number of
ants were noticed running about on the
stops and ground, constantly aug-
mented by numbers from unknown
quarters. Examination revealed the
fact that the ants were winged and
wore tumbling from the air, Further
investigation showed that the ants
were of two species, and that a battle
begun in the air was raging on the
ground. One of the species , of the
warring insects was large and red,
with wings the size of a house fly; the
other was a small red ant, with a
black head and small wings. They
were in superior numbers and attacked+
their enemies by twos, fours and scores.
Several balls of the ferocious warriors',
when separated showed as many as!
thirty small ants on one largo One.
Here and there could bo seen single
combats, the small ants in every case
victorious. Those that were clinched'
in the air remained clinched on the
ground until one or the other was van-
quished and dead.
But as a general thing they fell to
the ground and at once prepared for
battle. Each side was under leaders,
who massed their forces and marched
them with military precision upon the
ko. Skirmish lines were thrown out.
o lines advanced, retreated, advanc-
ed again, and then the battle beeamo
general. The rules of civilized War-
fare were observed for a while, but be-
fore the fight was over it was a go-a.'tft.
you please affair. Tho small ants
wore in the majority but their oppo-
nents were giants compared with
them and they crushed the pigmies in
their strong mandibles as an alligator
would a gnat
For at least half an hour the battle
raged. The ground was thick with
the dead and the dying, the latter be-
ing dispatched wherever found. At
last the giants were routed. They fled
ignominiously, pursued by the pigmies,
who slaughtered them by scores while
in full retreat, some flying, others run-
ning to escape with their lives. The.
visitors acted as if they wanted to
crow, and probably did, but if they
made any noise the spectators were
not aware of it, if the vanquished
were.
M. De Lesseps commends the French-
man for living on cereals, eight pounds
of which cosi no more than one pound
of the Englishman's roast beef, and for
buying American cottonseed oil at 3
cents a pound, purifying it and selling
it back to America as olive oil at $3
gallon.
