A Pet Wasp.

We have heard of training almost
everything, but we were surprised when
we read in the Christian at Work some
time ago of lady tanning wasp. She
found one on her window which ap-
peared to be dead, but it was only
chilled by the frost, and when she took
it upon piece of paper and put it by
the fire, as soon as it became warm it
flew to the window again, where it
stayed all day. The next morning it
was again chilled, so it could not move,
and she put it near the stove agsin.
where it did as it had done the Gay be-
fore. So she continued to do every
morning for some days. But one day
she was surprised to find that it flew up
on her shoulder instead of going to the
window. She put her finger near its
head and it crawled upon it. From that
time she began to feed it with pieces of
apple, pear, aud after that it would fly
to the lady many times during the day,
and the two became great friends.--

There is story told of young physi-
clan of this city, who was connected at
one time with the Emergency Hospital.
1t has caused many smile at his expense.
He had not been long stationed at the
hospital when a woman was brought in
suffering from severe scalp wound.
The blood was yelling out in great jets
and was fast dyeing her golden curls a
rusty red, and the doctor was engaged in
hastily clipping her hair, when his pa
tient exclaimed, "Oh, doctor, don't"
Thinking he might have hurt her, he
said: "Oh, never mind; that's all right. :"
mo, it's not" responded the lady with
some warmth, 'for you are cutting my
wig" And so he was. Washington Pest.

WHEN THE NEW WEARS OFF.

He was youth, and she, maid,
Both happy young and gay,
They loved-and life to them was fair
As one continuous May.
The croakers saw this happiness,
And said, "Ah, love is blind;
You're happy now, but care will come,
When the new wears of, you'll find"
They married, and then their life grew rich
With calmer, ripper joy;
They were as man and wife more fond
Than when as girl and boy.
Their "friends" could not endure the sight
And said, with worldly wit,
sit will not be so bright and fine
When the new wears off Bit"
All, well the new wore off, of course,
And then, what did they find?
An oldness which was better far,
For love is not so blind
As selfish care, and loving hearts
New joys will always meet,
So, when the new wears off. they'll find
Old love the more complete.

Six Hundred Feet Of Frost !

take charge of the digging operation at
the wonderful well. These scientific
gentlemen toiled away at their work for
several years, but at last abandoned it
when depth of 3S2 feet was reached,
with the earth still frozen as hard as
a rock. In 1874 the academy had the
temperature of the soil at the sides of the
we'll taken at various depths. From the
data thus obtained they came to the
startling conclusion that the ground was
frozen to a depth exceeding 600 feet.
Although it is known to meteorolo-
gists that the pole of the lowest known
temperature is in that region of Siberia,
it is conceded that not even that rigorous
climate could force frost to such great
depth below the surface. After figuring
on the subject for over quarter of a
century geologists have come to the con-
clusion that the great frozen valley of
the Lena River was deposited, frozen
just as it is found to-day, during the
great grinding up era of the glacial
epoch.-iS Louis Republic.

SOnOma's Seven Moons.

There have been many explanations
offered in times past as to why the name
of Sonoma was given to this valley by
the native tribe of Indians, who, upon
the advent of the white man over 100
years ago, peopled this section of the
country by thousands. OF course we all
know that Sonoma valley in aboriginee
means 'Valley of the Moon" but just
why that name was bestowed upon it is
another question, and one, too, which
we believe has never been satisfactorily
answered. Recently, in talking to an
aged Indian who has resided on the old
Nick Carrigan ranch for mnny years,
and who was an old man when General
Vallejo settled in Sonoma fifty years ago,
and must now be something over 100
years of age, he stated the reason the
valley was called Sonoma was because it
had sheep muchee moon," translated
into good English, many moons). Fur
ther inquiry developed the fact that be-
tween the town of Sonoma and the Bella
Vista vineyards, distance of four or
five miles, the moon, when it is full, can
be seen by the traveller to rise seven
times in succession over the mountains
in the east, owing to their peculiar for
nation. This phenomenon has been wit
messed by many old residents in the
early evening at the rising of the full
moon. This, no doubt, has been OBJ
served by the Indians, and hence the
name, "Valley of the Moon. "-Sonoma

Very few people realize how much the
dentist has done for mankind. To
mention one thing only, the perfectio
to which the manufacture of false teeth
has been carried has practically abolished
old age-that is, old age in the sense
that l used to know it, says writer in
the Globe Democrat. You see none of the
helpless, mumbling old men and women
that you formerly did. This is not be-
cause people do not attain the age their
parents and grandparents reached, but
because the dentist has prevented some
of the most unpleasant consequences of
advancing years. Men of seventy no
longer either look or feel old, because
they are not deprived of nourishing food
at the time when they need it most.
Estimates have been made showing that
the average length of life has been in
creased from four to six years by the
general use of false teeth, and this does
not appear in the least cxtravagant when
one thinks of the difference in the nutri-
ment accessible to one with fine set of
molars and one condemned to gum it
through his declining years. .-rD

about ten rods across. had just come
to the edge of the glade, and had opened
my mouth to call the pony when a
panther sprang on his back from the
limb of a tree. His spring almost
knocked the pony down, but he was a
stout little fellow, and he got his feet
and came dashing straight at me. The
panther was fairly on his back, but the
motion gave him enough to do to hang
on. The pony dashed for big beech
with low spreading Inns, and at two
jumps he was relieved of his burden and
the panther rolled to the ground within
four feet of me, screaming out in way
to lift my heels off the ground. 1 ex-
pected to be attacked, and on this oc-
cosion had no weapon with me. The
beast had got more than enough, how
ever. One of his eyes were put out, his
shoulder broken, and he must have been
badly bruised up. He rolled around for
while, screaming in pain and anger,
and then skunk off without having seen
me.
1t was N connection with a panther
that saw my father perform a feat
which is recorded in pioneer histories.
One day in October he and 1 were out
hunting. 1 had Jagged behind to pluck
some wild grapes, and, coming to a
spring on hillside, father knelt down
to quench his thirst. He was hardly
down when large male panther sprang
on him from limb about ten feet above
the ground. The yells of surprise father
gave reached my ears and / fastened my
footsteps. 1 came up to find him bat
tling barehanded with the beast. I had
my gun, but, for fear of killing father,
was obliged to stand by as a spectator.
Father had leaned his rifle against tree,
but, owing to the activity of the panther,
could not reach it. He had a hunting
knife in his belt, but declared afterward
that he totally forgot its presence. The
panther snarled and father shouted, and
they seemed to be whirling in circle
most of the time. The real situation was
this: The panther aimed to spring and
pull father down, but father ducked and
lodged, and at every opportunity got in
kick or a blow. Had the beast re-
manned quiet three seconds / could have
put bullet into him, but he was NOV
ing about like creased lightning. Once
father caught him by the tail and flung
him ten feet away, but he gathered him
self up and was back before l could fire.
My presence was known, and pretty soon
father called out:
''Don't fire! Get my gun and stand
off bit and be ready for this fellows
mate when she comes!
carried out this order, and there
fore did not see the finish of the fight.
Father got the panther by the back of
the neck and the tail, and carrying her
to rock thirty feet away he beat her on
the stone until she was dead. The mate
did not show up. The combat lasted
fully twenty minutes, and fathers home
spun suit was cut to pieces, as if with a
knife. He had thirty eight claw marks
on his body, each of which drew blood,
but none of them was serious, and he was
not laid up for even day.-NeD York
