Bequeathed Money to Buy Candy.
From Oakland Echoes

One of the very earliest settlers of Oak
land, Cal, was George w. Teasdale. Be
ing somewhat eccentric. he left peculiar
will when he died, twenty-three years
ago. He bequeathed all the wealth he
had, the sum of $500, to the school chill
dren of Los Gatos, to be placed in
bank at San Jose, and the interest to be
drawn annually for the purchase of can
dy, to be distributed equally among all
the boys and girls of the schools of the
town.
For the first few years after Mr.. Teas
dale's death the exact terms OF the strange
will were faithfully carried out, but Of
late years the scholarship of the school has
late years the scholarship of the school
has become so large that the money was
found to be inadequate for the purchase of
sufficient candy for such most of young
sters.
The situation was perplexing until Mrs.
Emma G. Cole, the head teacher of the
school, proposed that the distribution only
take place every alternate Decoration
Day, and her proposition heartily met the
approval of the trustees.
The only request of any kind made in
connection with the gift was that his lit
tie friends would see that his grave was
never neglected or destroyed. On every
Memorial day, 1t Is a beautiful sight to
see the children decorating his grave with
the choicest flowers that the beautiful
gardens Of Los GatOs produce.

Buzzard's Bay, July S1.-The man who
thinks the President OF the United States
takes a holiday from June to October,
spending five months out of the precious
twelve doing nothing, alters that opinion
after taking the boat to Marion and
spending a few days there at the little
hotel.
From the time the President arrives up
on the Oneida the first day of July I'M
til he departs upon the same boat many
months later, there is a constant string
Of visitors to the little place on the Mas
sachusetts coast. The clearinghouse
do a business that raises them to the dig
nifty of hotels, and the landlords of the
public obstetrics become naughty, as be-
fits men who turn away guests" every
day all summer.
Half of the string Of people are politi-
clans who have favors to bestow upon the
President-and to ask Of him. The other
half are attaches of the government, who
are expected to report at Gray Gables as
religiously as at the White House. 1t is
the Little White House moved north for
the summer.
And that reminds one Of a Marion story
told to-day at the wharf. A cabinet Of
portfolios called on the President the day
before he left Washington. rs there any
thing you will wish TO consult me about
before fall?" asked the secretary.
"Oh, no." said the President, easily,
nothing until 1 see you at Gray Ca
bles."
'But, Mr.. President, ] was intending to
spend the summer at Newport"
"Oh, very well,' replied the President.
"But you can report to me every week at
Marion"
Secretary Thurber has resigned himself
to the inevitable and is occupying a Coz
tage at Silver Shell Beach, not over a
few minutes from Gray Gables, whittier
he repairs every day for letter-writins.
There are days when he and the Presi-
dent are closeted all day in the study with
the window looking toward the lodge
Other familiar cabinet faces are those
of Secretary and Mrs Carlisle, who are
visiting Assistant Secretary Hamlin at
Marion. The Olneys, too, are here, or
nearly here, having a very nice place
along the shore, where they entertain Mrs
Cleveland frequently, Mrs. Olney driving
to the station to meet her with her car
riage. Nobody drives far here. There are
sc many little stations scattered along aud
so many landings that train or boat IL
taken, and then d carriage or private
yacht meets you.
The youngest man at Marion is Mr.. Jo-
seph Jefferson. At a dance at Gen Tay-
lor's summer villa he led the Virginia reel

scribed after which the wasp took wing
and disappeared, presumably bent upon a
repetition of the performance elsewhere.
But she had not simply buried this cater
pillar victim, nor was the caterpillar dead,
for these wasp cemeteries are. In truth,
living tombs. whose apparently dead in
mates are simply sleeping narcotized by
the venom of the wasp sting, and thus
designed to afford fresh living food for
the young wasp grub, into whose Vopa-
cious care they are committed.
BY inserting my knife-blade deep into
the soil in the neighborhood of this bur
row l readily unearthed the buried cater
pillar, and disclosed the ominOuS egg of the
wasp firmly imbedded in its body The
hungry larva which matches from this egg
soon reaches maturity upon the all-sutif-
cient food thus stored and before many
weeks is transformed to the full-hedged,
long-waisted wasp like it's parent.
The disproportion in the sizes of The
predatory wasps and Their insect prey is
indeed astonishing. The great sand-hor-
net selects for its most frequent victim
the buZzing cicada, or harVest-fiy. and in
sect much larger than itself and which
il carries off to its hong sand tunnels by
short fights from successive elevated
points. such as the limbs Of trees and
SUBMITS of rocks to which it repeatedly
Tugs its clumsy prey. In the present in
stance the contrast between the slight
body Of the wasp and the plump dimen-
sions of the caterpillar was even more
marked, and / determined to
ascertain the proportonate weight
of victim and victim. Con-
structing a tiny pair of balances with a
dead grass stalk, thread, and two disks
of paper, / weighed the wasp, using small
square pieces of paper Of equal size as my
weights. l found thatthe wasp exactly
balanced four Of the pieces. Removing the
wasp and substituting the caterpillar.
proceeded to add piece after piece of the
paper squares untileI had reached a total
of twenty-eight or seven times the number
required by the wasp, before the scales
balanced. Similar experiments with the
tiny black wasp and It's spider victim
showed precisely the same proportion. and
the ratio was once Increased eight to one

The peculiar feature of the piling of
stones above the completed burrow was
not a mere individual accomplishment of
my wire-waisted wasp. On several occa-

queer ways in Mexico.

From the Chicago News
At some of the Mexican theaters they
have aplan of charging a real Q2h cents
for each act, says a writer in the Arena,
and as there are usually FIVE and the bur-
lesque afterpiece one who cares to see Il
all pays IS cents. Thus one who does not
like the play pays for the act he sees and
quits and those coming in late only pay
for as many acts as they attend. Where
the seat is more than rs cents IL is at the
same rate of one-siXth of the whole
charge for each act. While this custom
is convenience to the audience, it is
said that it pays the management also,
as many go who would not be willing to
pay for a whole evening without know
ing that they would be pleased.
Even in the City of Mexico stores and
places of business as a rule are shut from
IL to 2 o'clock and a plaeard CLOSED
hung on the door The church bells are
numerous and large and are rung by be-
ing turned over by hand, which is easily
done, as the bells weight is exactly bal
anced by wood. When not being rung
the bells hang with the mouth part upper
most. In some towns, as Guadalajara,
every half hour. The cabs in the City of
Mexico are divided into three classes,
designated by little colored tin flags which
they carry The blue-hag rates are $3.50
an hour or rs cents a passenger; red-hag,
81 an hour or so cents passenger, and yell
low flag, so cents an hour.
The street cars are first and second
class, the first painted buff and the others
green. The street car lines not only carry
freight cars, box and fiat cars, cars for
sheep and goats, but the hearses are
street cars, with raised dais and cata-
falque beneath a four-pOst canopy, sur
mounted by a cross and painted black or
white. Long lines of cars filed with
mourning friends generally follow, all at
a high rate of speed.
The men of Mexico embrace each other
upon meeting, and If an elderly lady kisses
a girl on one cheek the spectator may
know that the younger one is unmarried;
a salute on both cheeks shows the girl
still a maiden.

dean OF the faculty. The presentation of
the diplomas was by the president of the

the public to the exercises.
Mr.. Spear had n fine subjectin' What We

points for statesmen and politicians in
his discussion of Americas foreign
policy" The young orator is sound on

In addition to the literary treat there
was a fine program of music which was
