Handling Wasps Without Harm.

1t is a fact not generally known that
if one holds his breath wasps, bees and
hornets can be handled with impunity.
The skin becomes sting-proof, and,
holding the insect by the feet, and Civ
ing her full liberty of action, you can
see her drive her weapon against the
impenetrable surface with force that
lifts her body with every stroke, but
letthe smallest quantity of air escape
from the lungs and the sting will pene-
trate at once. | have never seen an
exception to this in twenty-five years.

ladies with delicate hands to astonish
their friends by the performance of

remark of her sister, forgetting that
laughing required breath. For theory
