a vast extent of territory as ours and In which the relation of debtor and creditor has a peculiar character of its own incident al to ease or difficulty as the case may be of collections Thus we find

name from them When the thorn are green they are soft and filled with a sugary pulp which is greatly liked by a kind of small black stinging ante which are never found except on these trees aud the trees It seems cannot live without the ante at least in that part of the world Tlte ante bite a email hole near the tip of one of each nalrof ttiorn then gradually eat out the Interior of the two The hollow shells make capita! house for their young ones and never go without tenants How do the ante live after the houses are cleared of food The tree attend to that On the stem of each leaf is a honey well always full where the ants can sip to their con tent Thewe wells supply them with drink The leaves furnish the neces sarysolid food in an abundance of small yellow fruit like little golden pear They do not ripen all at once but one after another so that the sol diers have a steady supply of ever ripening fruit to eat and are kept busy all the lime running up and down the leaves to see how their crops come on When an ant finds a pear ready for eating he bite thestem bends back the fruit and breaking it off carries it in triumph to the nest It would be a cowardly ant that would not fight for a home like that and these ant are no cowards Just touch a limb so a to Jar it and the valiant little soldiers will swarm out from the thorns In great numbers and attack the Intruder with jaws and stings Not a caterpillar leaf cutter beetle or any other enemy of the tree can touch one of it leave without paying the penalty Thus the tree thilvts where it would otherwise be destroyed and the ante

free ventilation beneath (secur ing the warmth of the building by very tight Doors Another simple precaution of great value is to have the pit or juk which almost every family ha for th? reception of refuse matter co arranged that no foul vapor can escape This can bear ranged by having a double elbow Iu the pips leading to It so that there will be a constant stratum of waler In the elbow to Intercept any uauseoas or un healthy gases as they escape By al lowing uu animal or vegetable matter to decay arouud the house and by keeping lhe ground dry by proper drainage with suvh other little
