The question is propoundcd in Science" Is 1t
true that while one holds his breath it impossible
for him to he stung BY wasp Connections
correspondent replies: IL have picked up hun
drcds Of live wasps, holding my breath at the mo-
mcnt that the wasp gmsped, and have never
been stung under such circumstances" This
would appear to settle it. In order to render the
sting Of the wasp innocuous oil that one has to
do is TO hold ones breath. Thus at one fell
swoop the wasp is shorn Of his power TO iniure the
human race and rendered as harmless as the lady
bug or the cricket And such simple eXpcdent,
too. No man has ever been discovered def
to hold his own breath. The future Of the wasp's
sting certainly will be dark, provided that this
rcath-holding scheme becomes generally known.
or course President Cleveland and Governor
Hill in case they see Science" will congratulate
themselves and govern their respective breaths
accordingly the next time they meet. Zach OF
these gentlemen has frequently complained Of the
others mplained that it uncommonly
venOmOus and invariably loaded Now IL was
rumorcd last winter that the Governor intended
to down TO Washington TO visit the President
before the season was over. But the Governor
didn't CO. Perhaps he will 20 during the present
season. If he does we think we see the President
unostcnt TAT iously, but with all his might, holding
in his breath he aircctionatcly graSps the hand
of his dear Democratic brother and welcomes him
to the Whitr House. Nh cleveland can readily
do this without attracting Mr.. HIS attention.
For the Governor will be too much occupied in re-
tanning good grip on his own breath.

If there were no other reason sympathy with
sister Republic should be sufficient TO induce
the United States TO be represented az the
Trench Exposition next year. The Senate
wisely passed the necessary bill yesterday.
The reasons why many European Governments
hold aloof are well known. Because they do
America to gain commercially and otherwise
by good showing at the Exposition.
The majority in the Assembly have been
forced to make the High License bill party
measure. Accordingly caucus has been called
for next Thursday evening. The attitude of
the Democrats was SO clearly shown on We'd
nesday that no other course was open to the
Republicans. There arc not few Democrats
in the State who heartily approve High License
the recent mass-meetiDgs in Ncw-York and
Brooklyn have shown this plainly: but the
political alliance between the liquor dealers
and the Democratic party is so binding that no
Democratic voice in the Assembly is raised in
favor of this judcious legislation. The Re
publicans' duty is clear.
"Rcfonner" Benedict Of the Government
Printing Office had an extremely narrow escape

Senate took him in hand and his shortcomings

ing important and muchncedcd documents is
shamefully behindhand; yet Mr. Benedict goes
calmly on discharging efficient employees Dor

that he has managed his Office well because he
has saved few cents in buying ink. He can
