Reeyes, 770 Pearl St. I have known Mr. Reeves for several years. :, He is a reliable man and very happy over his fortune. 'About four ago," writes Mr. Reeves "I lost the hearing in my right ear and about three or four months ago "my left ear became almost as bad.

During the middle ages Aristotle was practically the only 1 secular author read in Europe, for the prVatly class were the oul readers, and CTMr learn ing was mostly confined , to eeclesla ileal treatises. It was during this pe riod that the English language was developing Into. Its present form. , Aristotle treated , of : every subject which came within the , range . of thought in his' time and introduced many new branches of inquiry which have since become sciences. The terms used by him were adopted by 'every later writer and are still in use all over Europe, although variously, cor rupted. - - The following list will give some idea of the number and power of Aris totle's word coining, which is revived in modern everyday English; Maxim, principle, subject, matter, form, end, final, cause, motlye, energy, mean, extremes, metaphysics. He called his. investigations about animals "histories," whence we call our science, wnlch has tne same ena In view, "natural history," and in our universities the term "faculty",, is a translation, corrupted in Its passage throiiKh the Latin, of Aristotle's term for art. A LIVING SWEETMEAT. Taa War Native Mexicans Eat the Heaejr Bear lag; Aat ;. The honey bearing ant of southern Mexico and Colorado works at night. storing, the honey in curious fashion. After a foraging expedition on . the plants of the Schrug oak the worker ant on its return forces the honey, by muscular contraction from its mouth Into. the. crop and abdomen, of the "honey bearer." This,' crop la walled by ten muscular plates and is capable of great expansion. When filled the abdomen becomes extraordinarily dis tended,' the "bearer" resembling a sac of amber'ccrfored' honey,wttb the head and thorax like small appendages on one side. - The "bearers" being rendered almost helpless by this change of condition, are carefully attended, by the other ants -and kept In suitable compart ments, -where, .clinging to, the roof, they bang, down like" amber globes.: The ants as they need .food apply their mouths to those' of the "honey bear ers." when a slight contraction or tne muscles forces out minute drops, which are licked off and consumed.
