THE SAND WASP. Ingenious Manner In Which This jn sect User a Haminer. The deliberate use of a tool by a lit tle sand wasp nmight well be supposed to indicate reasoning power, says an exchange. A well k!. -:n naturalist, Dr. Peckham, watched a wasp dig a 1ole in the earth and deposit therein an egg, together with a spider which she had stung into paralysis to feed the grub which should be hatched in due course. Then she filled up the hole with sand or earth and jammed it down with her head. When at last the filling was level with the gr)uiid she brought a quan tity of fine grains of dirt to the spot, picked up a small pebble in her mandi bles and used it as a hammer in pound ing them down with rapid strokes, taus making this spot as hard and firm as the surrounding surface. Before we could recover from our astonishment at this performance she had dropped her stone and was bringing more earth. In a moment we saw her -pick up the pebble and again pound the earth into place with it. Once more the whole process was repeated, and then the lit tle creatures flew a.way. "The whole of this performance," writes Sir Herbert Maxwell in "Memo ries of the Months," "is so unexpected that even Dr. Peckham's high reputa tion as a scrupulous observer might fail to convince skeptics that he had not been deceived, but similar behavior on the part of a wasp of the same spe cies has been recorded independently by Dr. Williston of Kansas univer sity." BARBAROUS ENGINES. Man Traps and Spring Guns Once In Use In England. We were reminded the other day of some of the incidents of country life of former years by the offering for sale at a London auction mart of a couple of man traps. These engines were once upon a time part of the chattels of well nigh every considera ble landowner and every energetic gamekeeper. Another implement was the spring gun, which turned on a swivel and discharged itself as soon as one of the connecting wires was stum bled against, the muzzle of the gun turning in the direction of the tres passer as indicated by the wire, the guilty party generally receiving a coat ing of pitch if of nothing worse. The man traps sold the other day were probably the first some of the attend ants at the sale ever saw and were of the old formidable pattern-that is to say, they resembled a glorified gin. They measured seventy-four inches long and were just about three feet in height, so that they would catch a poacher well above the knee, and once nipped there he would remarn till his cries or the ordinary round of the keepers led at once to his release and capture. The spring gun gave its alarm, and watchers were speedily In attendance. There was something very barbarous about the use of these en glnes, which were not so very long ago quite common. In fact, people need not be very old to have seen ,boards bearing the legend, "Beware of man traps and spring guns."-London Field. Her Opinion of Boys. A little girl wrote the following essay on boys: "Boys are men that have not got as big as their papas, and girls are women that will be ladies by and by. When God looked at Adam he said to -himself, 'Well, I think I can do better If I try again,' and he made Eve. Boys are a trouble. They wear out every thing but soap. If I had my way the world would be girls and the rest dolls. My papa is so nice that I think he must have been a little girl when he was a li'ttle boy. Man was made, and on the seventh day he rested. Wom an was then made, and he has never rested since."-Philadelphia Inquirer. Romance of a Statue. The statue of Charles I. which now stands In London was sold to a brazier during the commonwealth with the un derstanding that it should be broken up. The bu.yer, however, saw a chance to make money and burled It instead. To cover his action he made a large number of bronze knives and forks, which were eagerly bought by both royalists and Puritans as souvenirs. When the monarchy was restored to power the statue was dug up again and bought by the government to be placed in its present position, where it has remained since 1674. Striped Suit; Lively Walk. Once in my callow days I accepted- a wager that I could wear a prison suit and walk from Buft'alo to Cleveland without serious molestation. It took me over four days to get thirty miles. I was arrested nine times, and at Dun kirk I came near being mobbed by a Sunday school picnic and was com pelled to discard my uniform for citi zen's clothes. Yet I was a free man and innocent of crime, and there was no law defining what I should wear so long as it was male attire. - Elbert Hubbard in Philistine. Rusty. A little three-year-old miss, wille her mother was trying to get her to sleep, became interested in a peculiar noise and asked what it was. "A cricket, dear," replied the mother. "Well," remarked the little lady, "he ought to get 'himself oiled."-Young People's Paper.

'il, see::as at first glance like a sat:sfacttry e::piana tion of the undeveloped state of his civilization. It is nevertheless not true t:at the Indian lacked inventiveness. IIe has left at least two worthy monuments of his capacity for invention, althoug?i our own civili::ation has ca:ivertcd them from articles of ne(essity into what are practically p:aythin-s. These two evidences of the Indian genius are the birch bark c:;noe aind the snowshoe. For beauty and utility in the uses for which it was designed no product of the white mau's art working with the same materials could have surpassed the Indian canoe. The snowshoe, as the Indian designed and made it, moreover, is a distinct work of art and, like the violin of the older t masters, seems incapable of improve-% ment. It may be argued that those are arti cles of the simplest'kind, but the gen ius that inspired their invention and construction is none the less worthy to rank with that which manifests itself in our own civilization in works of an ampler but not more beautiful design. -Boston Globe. SECRET INK. Writing Which May Be Made Invisi ble or Visible at Will. There are several ways in which two persons can correspond with each oth er unknown to even the people before whose eyes the very letter is held. Ovid taught young women when writ ing to their lovers they should use new milk as ink. This when dried is invis ible, but by scattering coal dust or soot upon the paper the writing becomes legible. Ansonius adopted this method when writing to Paulinus. Diluted sulphuric acid, lemon juice, solutions of nitrate and chloride of cobalt or of chloride of copper write colorless, but on being heated the char i.cters written with the first two be come black or brown and the latter green. When the paper becomes cool the writing disappears and leaves the paper blank again. Saltpeter dissolved in water and equal parts of sulphate of copper and sal ammoniac dissolved in water are two good invisible inks. There are also some inks which are t2visible when dry, but visible when moistened with another liquid. Thus a solution of muriate of antimony washed with tincture of galls becomes yellow, green vitriol ink washed with the same solution turns black, nitrate of cobalt washed with oxalic acid turns blue, arseniate of potash with nitrate of copper green, solution of gold with muriate of tin purple. Gambetta's Table. There is a curious story told of the table at which Gambetta wrote. A previous owner, General Lahitte, min-[ ister for foreign affairs in 1849, dis missed his confidential servant because :; he believed he had stolen a large sum, of money In 1,000 franc bank notes. - Years afterward, when the table had to be repaired, the joiner employed for the work found the missing bundle of bank notes between the mahogany b:>ard of the table and the drawers be lomw. They had lain there unnoticed for fourteen years. Unfortunately the st:ory does not go on to say that the poor servant and his mistaken master were alive at the time of the cuseovery a:ad that the one's character was clear ed and the other's confidence restored. Kaiser's snub of the Bismareks. The marriage of Counat Herbert Bis march and the Countess Hoyos took place at Vienna, and it was on this oc casion that the kaiser took a step which was one of the falsest steps of his life, a step equivalent to the malev olent boycotting cf the Bismarcks. By order of his majesty Count Caprivi, the new chancellor, wrote to Prince Reuss, German ambassador at Vienna: "Should th.e prince (ex-chancellor) or his family make any approach to you pray confine yourself to conventional forms of courte sy. This order is also to be observed by the staff of the embassy. I may add that his majesty will take no nor tice of the wedding."-London Chroni cle. The Talismanic Moonstone. The remarkable peculiarity of the moonstone is that, while in all other gems Internal seams are called flaws and detract from their value, in the j moonstone they are called "magic mir- 1 rors, because those favored mortals who are gifted with the illumination of the astral light can by its aid read on those surfaces of milky white the reflections of the past and the promises of the future."

'I he Most Intricate and Cumbroa Vehicle of Thought Extant. Chinese has been described as "the most intricate, cumbrous and un wieldy vehicle of thought that ever ol)i:ih ned a:uong any lpeiple." There are eighteen varieties of it, besides the court dialect, and until recently no European knew more than three of these fluently, while it may be doubt ed whether any Chinaman ever fully understood them all. In what is commonly called Chinese there are 30,000 recognized written 1 character, yet there is no alphabet and practically no grammar. Even this immense number of characters may be indef-iitely extended, for a learned Chinese scribe, if he does not know a sign which lie thinks entirely suitable to the word he. desires to ex press, coins one. There is a Chinese printed book In the British museum with thirty-two different samples of these fancy oharacters. Basque is the most difficult of Eu ropean languages to acquire, chiefly be cause of the arbitrary adoption of ex traneous words into its sentences. This "character marks no other European tongue, but it is one which also ren ders American Indian languages very troublesome to learn. Gaelic is also difficult, for it has no affirmative and o present tense. A POSTOFFICE BABEL. :anguages Necessary to Singapore's Mail Delivery. Singapore is the only British post -office which employs letter carriers for each language. Within that city there are so many different races who re -ceive correspondence addressed in their -own vernacular writing that proper de .livery is extremely difficult. So hard is it that in some districts it has been found necessary to send the postmen upon their rounds in sets of three. One of these is a Malay in charge o' all packets for Europeans, Jews, Ar menians, Malays, Arabs, Parsees and Japanese, which are presumably ad dressed in European script or In writ ing akin to it. The second of the trio is a Chinaman, who deals with corre spondence bearing Ideographic charac ters, wh"Ile the third is a Tamil, who takes out letters addressed in the writ ing of his own race as well ae any in . Telegu and southern Indian writing. These cosmopolitan postmen have, of -course, often to consult each other as . they deliver the mails, but sometimes -even their varied linguistic attainments . .have to be supplemented by a Sikh who understands Hindoostanee, Per sian and northern Indian characters, THE CAUSE OF SURF. Why Waves Always Become Preak. ers in Shallow Water. Long and oseilatory waves run by ;gravity,. the first agitating the water to nearly the same amouht at all depths, while the chief disturbance due to the latter confines Itself to the upper layers of the water. These oscillatory waves, the most typical example of which is perhaps furnished by the "swell," or regular rolling waves which continue to run'in deep water af ter a storm, will break on a shelving shore when their height is about equal to the depth of water. When the depth Is sufficient to allow 'the oscilla'tiols to proceed unimpeded no progressive motion takes place, each column being kept In Its place by the pressure of surrounding columns. If, however, free osciflatlon is pre vented, as by the interposition of a rock or by the shelving of the shore, the columns in the deep water are not balanced by those in the shallower, and thus they acquire a progressive motion and form "breakers." For this reason waves always break against the shore, whatever Is the direction of the-wind. The Ship Rigger.. Even compared with the work of a - crcus acrobat the job of a shlp's rigger is extremely perilous, for wthereas the circus performer is safeguarded in ev ery way possible and the ropes and supports are thoroughLy tested the rig ger's duty is to ascend masts often made extremely perileus by rot or dan gerously Impaired by storms. Extreme -coolness and caution are necessary, and the men engaged In this calling are a clear headed, hard handed .lot, who take risks cheerily and work with an instant understanding of their busi .ness. T'hking into consideration the ex tent and character of their work, com paratively few meet with accident. New York Herald. The Explanation. Balty Moore-How was that Iat -cook you had?

A person's character 1s inseparabl rom him. Never can he extrical i1mself from its dominion. It is h' )artner for life.

Not] ng that we do but serves to make t mnown to those whose perception teen enough to decipher its meanin; Even the method of handling a do( narks the personality of the indivi mal. Let us see how many ways there a )f opening a door. There are at lea: iix of them. The door may be opene abruptly or it may be opened slowl; It may be opened gently or promptl; and it may be "knocked at" for of )f two reasons-first, because the pe ton about to enter the room may t loubtful as to the desirability of dois o without tapping first of all, or, se )nd, because the door won't open ui ess he nearly smashes it off its hinge For instanap, consider the case of ti sian-oh, yes, it may be a woman fc that matter-who comes in withoi any ceremony whatever. The hand turns quickly, and he stands befoi you almost before you have time 1 look up from what you are about. It altogether illogical or absurd to b lieve that such an individual (so qui( and determined in doing a small thhz like opening a door) should be ene getic, brusque, bluff, perhaps tactles but nevertheless "hearty" and able 1 go about everything he does with will in right good earnest? Or take the opposite way of do opening-the cautious, slow manni of entering a roem. It takes tl person some time to turn the hand] and he seems to be quite a long tin before he appears to view. What w. Buch a person be like? Well, a persc who takes upward of half an hour open a door will take in all probabili a solid year and a half to do anythiz else. In other words, he will be sloi tardy, anxious and much inclined put off doing what he should do todi until tomorrow-or, at least, until i late today as he possibly can. Such person generally needs his battl, fought for him by a forcible, spiriti individual. The gentle, timid, quiet soul opei the door noiselessly. You don't evi know that he or she has come into tl room at all. Their footfall is almo inaudible, and save for the testimoi oe your sense of sight you would s that noboby else was present. Ti person is wanting in strength of el actor, lacking in decision, so do n put your faith in him too mtzch. I will back out of difficulties and shou not be relied upon in any great degret On the other hand, the brisk, prom turn of the door handle, followed most immediately by the opening al cosing of the door, suggests anim tion, resolution, alertness and depen ablity in an emergency. Thoee people who bang at the do are uncouth, unrefined and more v. orous and well intentioned than subi or discerning. Those, however, wl tap gently possess feeling and a sensitive and tender hearted. Afirthf people perform a regular tattoo on tl door, while sober minded individui rap seriously and deliberately. Some people regularly burst the do open. If it does not yield to gen1 pressure at once they throw the weig of their whole person against it al literally force it open.
