1t is generally supposed that instinct
unerringly teaches birds and insects tho
best way in which to build their homes or
nests ard also to provide for their off
spring. The following incident, recently
under personal observation, will show
that instinct is not always infallible:
a friend placed three small empty vials
in an open box on shelf in an upright
position in Close contact, and they were
uncorked. a short time afterward it was
Il matter of surprise to find that these had
been appropriated by a female mud wasp.
She had placed goodly number of spiders
in the center vial, doubtless intended 10
serve rs food for her future brood, then
proceeded TO deposit her eggs in those ON
either side. She next closed tightly the
mouths of all the reueptacles with a hard
lime cement. Having finished her work,
she chen doubtless went on her way, salts
fed all had been done for her offspring
that thoughtful mother could do.
But just think of the sensations of those
little wasps when they come into exist
eEce, for, while starving in their scaled
cages, they can plainly see, through the
impGnctrablo glass walls, the bountiful
supply of food which was provided for

HE GOT HIS SHIRTS.


A LHuGha5Ie Trick II Princeton So.
dent Played Upon His Tutor.
In "Princcton-Old and New" by
James W. Alexander, he has this charac-
teriStic passage:
1.-The mode of life was simpler in those
days than now, but the same humor which
still makes collegiaDs so comic ctTcrvcsCed
30 years ago. When, for example, William
Pennington, son of former governor Of
New Jersey and himself afterward speaker
of the national house of representatives,
roomcd next door to Senior Tutor Top
ping, it was the custom for each man to
hang on the outside knob of his door the
bag containing his soiled clothes for the
laundry.
bennington stuffed his own shirts one
day i'll Tutor Topping's bag and waited
for the day when the clean linen was re
turned and laid out on Topping's bed.
Then, knowing that two of the younger
tutors were in Topping's room, Pcnning
ton knocked at his door. On entering he
put on an embarrassed air as if hCSitating
to speak in the presence OF the other tn
tors.
Topping in lofty way said: These
gentlemen are my friends. l have no Sc
eretS from them. Say what you wish.
Pennington still hcmmed and hawed,
but, again urged to speak, blErtcd out: 1t
is not My fault, Mr.. Topping. did not
want to say anything about it now, but as
you insist L must ask you to please return
the shirts lent you, AS L am in need of
them
''Topping's rage and horror at being
thus addressed before the younger tutors,
who looked up to him as II Mngnus ApoI-
To- may well be imagined. He began to
upbraid Pennington, who interrupted him
by saying: It's no use, Mr.. Popping, try
ing to deny the fact. see the shirts there
on the bed with your own things The
tutor stood aghast, but Pennington stop
ped to the bed and picked out his own
shirts marked with his name"

marlborough Victory.
At O'Clock Marlborough launched the
great attack. Slowly at first, but gather

long lines OF horsemen came on. The air
was full of the clangor of scabbard on
stirrup. The squadrons were just stretch
ing themselves out into gallop as they
reached the summit of the ridge when
they were smitten by the fire of tho
French infantry and artillery. So deadly
and close was the Vollcy that the leading
squaGrons went down before it, and for
few wild minutes, under the canopy of
whirling smoke, Marlborough S horsemen
were in fierce confusion.
That was tho moment for q counter

Yallard's center was broken AS with the

RINGERS AMONG THE BEANS.

nucnccd Poker Game.
"PcrhAps l shouldn't go into any retro
spcctions that might reflect upon the doc
tors chances of election" said Major
Droilier, but there's one thing that has
always prcjudiccd me against him. 1t is Il
small matter, and perhaps my proof is not
conclusive enough to establish q case
against him before an ordinary jury, but
from the point of view of any sporting
mas it certainly would look bad for him.
We were down in the Red river country
together in 1871. and time hung heavy on
Our lEluds during the evenings. The doe
tor fed lis lots of quininc to keep down the
swamp levers and gave lis wholesome adj
vice about diet. particularly cautiuning us
against fresh milk from the neighbOrhoOd.
OF course we played poker, and, rs l rccol
lCCt it. the doctor was an invCteratc loser.
He didn seem TO know the commoncst
rudmcnts OF the game, and was an i'm
patient player as well as IL sullen loser.
We played with shotgun wads for chips,
and there were less than 500 in the camp.
Now comes the singular and SuggeS-
tive chain of circumstances, which makes
me arraign the doctor We had been TAX
ing our quinine in powdered form and the
stock got low Doc made reQuiSition on
st. Louis for more, and it seemed slow
coming. One night when he was a heavy
loser, and l was tho banker, as usual he
pretended to get mad at the gun wads,
said they Were grimy old hoodoOS, ana ut
the close Of the game chuckcd en- all into
tine fire.
Next night when we wanted to start "a
game he suggested that we should get 800
white beans from the cook and Use them.
L consented and counted out the beans at
10 cents each. When we came to finish
up. | had to- 30 down into my clothes
when l felt sure that l ought to be ahout

my pocket and said nothing. Next day l

Venice without its waters would be u
far less picturesque place than it actually
is. And such II state Of affairs, we are led
to believe, may eventually como about.
The regular increase in the delta of the
Po has been studied by Professor Mari
nelli Comparison of the Austrian map
of about 1928 with the records of surveys
made in recent years shows that the mean
annual increase since 1923 has been about
three-tenths of square mile, and from all
known data it appears that the total in
crease during six centuries has been about
1913 square miles.
The increase is continuing, and the
gulf of Venice is doomed in time to dis
appear. No iInmediate alarm need, how
ever, be excited, for Professor Mnrinell
calculates that between 100 and l20 cen
turtles will elapso before the entire north
ern Adriatic will have become dry land
