ANTS HAVE FIVE NOSES.
The 8tnie of Smell le Very Important
to Theie Inieets.
In their nntenune, or feelers, nuts
hnvu live noses, each of which has Its
own duties to perform.
Ono iioho tells tho ant whether It Is
In Its own nwit or thnt of nn enemy;
nnother noso dlscrlmlunlos between
odors of nuts of tho sumo Hpeehm, but
of different colonies; n third misnl or
gnu rervos tho puriwwo of illmeriiln
tho scent laid down by tho nut's own
feet, so thnt It mny bo nble to rutracc
tho way cpillo oaslly; a fourth nose
smells tho lnrvmi nnd pupao, and the
Ufth homo detects tho presence of nn
enemy.
If nn nut bn deprived of n certain
nose, It will llvo pencwibly with ene
mies, but If It retains Us fifth none. It
will light tho alien to tho death. There
Is a difference In the functions of nose
ono nnil Mono lire, although they np
pear to Ixt Homewhnt nllke.
This senso of smell does not romu
till the nuts are threo days old. If.
therefore, ants only twelve hours old
nro placed among others beUmglng lo
different colonies, they will grow up
ltillo amicably ami nut iinilerxtnnd

Announcement
FE Have bought the Johnstone Toggery stock at a great bargain. It is abso
lutely necessary for us to raise a large amount of money now to do with this
stock what we much desire. It is our purpose to maintain the Toggery as a
MEN'S STORE and the old store will perhaps bo maintained as an
exclusive ladies' and children's store. To arrange the stocks as is needful
to carry on the two stores, we must sell from both the stores a large amount of goods.
We announce, in the Toggery store, a Fifteen
Days Re-arrangement Sale beginning Sept. 1 0th.
We are not starting the sale sooner because of just having closed our year's
business in our other stores.
