THE INDUSTRIOUS WASP.
He Has Many Useful Trades and Mover
Neglects His Work.

He Has Many Useful Trades and Mover
Neglects His Work.
Wasps act as architects, builders, car
penters and paper-malers. They go
abroad into the fields and gardens in
search of provisions; with exemplary
care for the public welfare they eat out
the sunny side of your peaches and
carry away meat from the lamb chops
in your larder. Man, base man, who
robs the busy bee of its hard-earned
honey and Stays the gentle calf for the
production of veal outlets, usually
speaks of the socialist insects as rob-
bers and depredators. But he forgets
that the generous and public-spirited
wasp does not levy tribute ON his april
cots for itself alone. 1t is the commits
sary of the republic. Each worker hur-
ries back to the nest the results of his
fruit hunting or his marauding expe-
ditions, and shares them among his
fellow subjects with that distributive
justice which Aristotle preached and
which nobody in our human commune
ties practices. He carries out the prin-
ciples of the Fabian society.
Every successful wasp, when he re-
turns to the nest with piece of prime
beef or wingless fly, or cargo of
sugar saved for the community from
the grocer's barrel, pcrches on the top
of the dome among his assembled fell
lows, and, disgorging all his spoils, di-
vidcs them equally among nurses and
paper-malsers. His two main doctrines
are: "Ifany wasp will not work, neither
shall he eat" and ''every wasp to la
bcr according to his capacity and re-
ceive according to his needs in a free
community"
Division of labor, l believe, goes u
long way in the nest. Some of the
workers seem to be specially employed
as foragers and soldiers; others appear
to be told off as nurses and guardians,
while yet others arc engaged as paper
makers and masons. 1t is even said
that these last work by definite shifts
q know not by what authority and
that they each have a space of about a
square inch allotted to them to fill with
cells, on which no neighboring worker
is permitted to encroach with impuni-
| ty. But these are perhaps the fictions
of imaginative observers. At any rate
the eight hours act is not yet in opera
ton; wasps work early and late OF
their own mere notion.

LEARNING TO SWIM.

Easiest and Quickest Way for Girls to Ac-

The best way to teach boy to swim
Is to toss him over the side of boat
with rope about his waist, and let
him plunge and tumble in the water
until he catches the movements of
arms and legs that carry him lightly
along the surface. A girl should be
sent to swimming school If there is
such convenience in her town or city
Or if at the seaside many girl who
was never in the salt water before can
quickly acquire this most graceful and
serviceable accomplishment by very
simple method A comfortable flannel

many miles away from any consider
able body of water.
This strange crab is native of Hin
least. and perhaps in others, the young
grass fairly swarms with myriads Of
them.
They burrow in the ground. They
can run with considerable swiftness
even when carrying in the long claws
which serve for both arms and hands q
bundle of grass or young rice stalks
as big, and sometimes even bigger,
than themselves.
Nature is very generous with all her
children, giving to each one just the
powers and faculties which it needs to
enable it to provide for all its wants.
So this humble inhabitant of the table
lands of India is provided with capi-
tai moving machine in the shape of a
pair of remarkably sharp and strong
pincers.
To harvest his abundant crops, the
comical-looking creature assumes sort
of sitting posture, so that he can use
| his pincers to advantage. He works
very rapinly, using one pair of claws to
! cut and another to bind his sheaves at
the same time.
AS soon as he has gathered all he can
carry he scuttles off with it, IN funny
sidcwise fashion, and with an air OF
solemn Importance that is n very
amusing contrast to his clumsy mo
tions and queer shape.
But the human inhabitants of the
districts preferred by this queer little
mower and reaper do not find him at
all amusing. They say that one OF
these crabs will destroy an amount OF
young grass and rice in one year which,
if allowed to reach perfection, would
keep laboring man in health and
strength during that time.-H. e

tical beginning.
Wade into the water until it is waist
deep, and then ask your brother to put
one arm under your body about the
waist line and place his other hand un-
der your chin. Then lift your feet off
the bottom and lie in the attitude
shown in the picture. Have never a
bit of fear, you are well supported,
your face is out of the water, and you
will feel your body lifted up by it as
though pushed from beneath. Now,
with arms and legs stretched to their
full length, make the first stroke.
Draw your hands up to your chest, the
finger tips nearly touching, the palms
turned out. Then sweep your hands
out in the half circles through the wa
ter until they stretch out straight on
either side from your body. Your legs
meanwhile must also be drawn up until
your toes almost touch, then stretched
out quickly, the feet far apart. When
your hands are drawn up against your
chest your knees must be simultaneous

Go through these movements for at

are beginning to trust it. After that
you will feel yourself moving along an

Never go with any but a person who
