STUPIDITY OF A WASP.
A Story Showing That Instinct Is Not
 Infallibla

It is generally supposed that instinct unerringly teaches birds and insects the best way in which to build their homes or nests, and also to provide for their offspring. The following incl dent, recently under personal observa- tiOn, will show that instinct is no: al- ways infallibla:
 A friend placed three small empty ylals in an open box, on a shelf, in an upright position, in close contact, and thsy were uncorked. A short time af- terward it was q matter of surprise to find that these had been appropriated by a female mud wasp. She had placed q gCOdly number Of spiders in the center vial, doubtless intended to serve as food for her future brood; then proceeded 10 deposit her eggs iD those on either side. She next closed tightly the mouths of all three recep- tacles with hard lime cement Hav- Ing finished her work, she then doubt lsss went on her way, satisfied all had been done fC~ her offspring that a thoughtful mother could do.
 But just think of the sensations Of those little wasps when they come into existence, for, while starving in their sealed cages, thsy can plainly see, through the impenetrable glass walls, the bountiful supply of food which was provided for their use.-Scientific American.

THE TERRITORIAL VOTE.
B.odie Carried nsioriiy Of inc
 CouHfieS.

The extent of Wilson's majority and the precise complexion Of the Twen- tleth legislature are the only two doubts growing out of the late terri torial election. Republicans are claim jug at least eleven members of the as seInbly and there is hope that tie, if not t majority, may be secured There will be three and possibly four members of the council. It is a pleasing, though unprCftable fact, that Brodie carried more counties than Wilson, but the majoritieS were too rneager. The Brodie counties are Apache, Navajo, Coconino, Maricopa, Yuma, Pima and most likely Pinal. Wilson received majori'ties in MOhave, Yavapai, Cochise, Graham and Gila. Two counties crossed suit C0cOnino gave Brodie a majority and elected the democratic ticket. COchise went for Wilson and swelled the republican strength in the legislature.

HARDSHIPS ENDURED BY
SOLDIERS AT MANZANILLO
a RETURNED VETERANS STORY
Fed on Bacon, Hardtack and COfft e.
INADEQUATE Hospital Fa-
ciIitieS.

The fact that our soldiers suffered un-
necessary hardships from the misman-
agement and ignorance of those In au-
thority during the war with Spain. is
matter of history This Government has
been in virtual possession of Cuba
since July and there is now no excuse
for failure to properly provide for the
comfort of the troops stationed there.
That this has not been done is attested
by a private of Company F. Fourth Regi-
ment of Immunes, stationed at Manan-
zanillo who reached Washington last
night.
He comes TO this city for the purpose
of being treated at the Government hos
pital. His leg was injured while engaged
in erecting quarters for the company,
and on account of the lack of hospital
facilities had TO be sent here
When asked by Times reporter re-
garding the treatment received by the
troops now stationed in Cuba he said:
I'VE have been in Cuba since the 10Th
of October and have had nothing to eat
since we reached there but hardtack and
bacon. For breakfast we have coffee,
hardtack and bacon; for dinner. bacon.
hardtack and coffee; and for supper hard
tack, coffee and bacon. On Thanksgiving
Day we had Il very elaborate dinner by
the addition of one potatoe to the reSu-
lar bill Of fare.

Women who are educated in medicine
would be the first TO laugh at such state
ments It's only the woman Of the adver-
tisements. the woman for revenue only,
and who s. not physician, who can al
ford TO make such amazing and rid!cu-
lous claims.
But this side issue has led us somewhat
a-field from DR.. Pierce and his great host
Of women correspondents. To these the
doctor stands sort of father confesor OF
things physical. Every letter is read pri-
vately. answered privately, and its con-
tents guarded as sacredly becomes
such confessions. And many women
are naturally sensitive about their all
ments, even the replies are mailed, care
fully and securely sealed in perfectly
plain envelope. without printing or ad-
vertising upon 1t, that There may be no
third party TO this correspondence.
Any sick woman can have the benefit of
consultation by letter with DR. Pierce alb
so!utely without fee or charge OF any
kind.
More than half q million Icyalid women
have been successfully treated by DR..
Pierce aided by his staff of skilled spe-
cialists. through the medium of CORE
spondence. In this way disagreable ques-
tionings and abhorrent examinations and
local treatments are avoided.
The world at large knows of DR.. PIERCE
chiefly as the inventor of the two we'll
known remedies, DR.. Pierce's Golden Med
ical Discovery and DR.. Pierces Favorite
Prescription. And it is probably the case.
that in general DR. Pierce's remedies are
classed with all the other patent medi
cines," and Dr. Pierce himself ranked
with those doctors whose degrees are
purely honorary or assumed. and no more
stand for medical knowledge or expert
ence than the familiar title of major
in some sections OF our country signifies
that the bearer of II is familiar with siege
and battle. DR.. Pierce does not belong to
the class of doctors whose titles are by
courtesy He is a doctor by choice. a
doctor by education, doctor by prac-
tice and experience. He is more than
that; for, although there are no officia!
grades and ranks in the medical profes-
sion. as in the military. which are marked
bv titles and by chevroHs. yet as a man ad-
yances in the practice of medicine as his
knowledge becomes exact and certain, as
his skill becomes developed and perfect
ed SO he achieves rank among his fel-
| lows and is held in honor by the public
Such rank DR.. Pierce has achieved, and
as a specialist In the treatment of dis
eases of women he stands at the head OF
| his profession in the United States.
DR. Pierce's remedies differ from most
medicines in the fact that they contain
! no alcohol, whisky or other intoxicant,
and are absolutely free from opium and
every other narcotic drug. For no other
medicine prepared exclusively for the use
OF women. as is "Favorite Prescription,
| can such a claim be truthfully made.

New York, Dec. 9.-Four policemen had
a fierce struggle with giant madman in

The madman is John Crinnon. dfty-two

Criunon was released from the Asylum
for the Insane at Wards Island two
months ago as cured and became night
watchman in the BalmoraI Hotel. in
Lenox Avenue. between 18th and 18th
Streets. He showed no signs pf insanity
until three nights ago. when he went
through the hotel which is the home of
several weI-known persons, and cut
every water pipe flooding the place from

He then went 10 his rooms on the top

Dr. v Pierce and Some of the Prominent Specialists

with its surgical ana mechanical apph-
arces and operating rooms. In such 4 COM
parlson you see at Il glance that there Is
no institution equal to DR.. Pierce's in ,he
whole country: that for anyone else TO Of
fer what he offers is to promise what
cannot be performed; that no other insti-
tuition has equal facilities for the treat
ment of chronic diseases.
In the work Of the Worlds Dispensary
and Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute
there Is real philanthropy as well as real
medical and surgical skill. The best rec
ognition of the philanthropic aspect of
this work comes from the citizens Of Buff
falo DR. Pierce's home town, who elected
him State senator and later gave him
seat in Congress. From the latter posi-
ton DR. Pierce resigned before the eXpi-
ration of his term. That he should pre-
fer 10 give mp a high and honorable po-
sition I'm the councils Of the nation to
serve the sick is conclusive evidence of
his devotion 10 their interests and of love
for his profession. Perhaps we can offer
our readers no better summing up of DIR.
Pierce and his work than that of Presi-
dent Garfield who said: He is one of
the best men in the world, and he is at
the head OF one of the best institutions
in the world"

ing Dr. Pierce's laboratory with that OF
any other institution For instance, since
DIR. Pierce has advertised to give free
consultation by letter many have Initiated
the advertisements and make an exactly
similar Offer AS far as the advertise
ments go they make just as good show
ing as DIR. Pierce. But go to these other
establishments and ask to see the doc
tor who, gives medical advice, and you II
find, nine times out of ten, that there Is
no doctor connected with the establish
ment. Where there is a doctor he is prob
ably some medical failure, selling his pro-
fessional title to the medicine firm for
small consideration. Compare this with
DR.. Pierces institution, the Invalids' Ho-
tel and mgica Institute, with its stan
nearly a score of graduated and expert
enced doctors, busy every day in actual
practice; it's great special laboratory and
dispensary, from which special medicines
and auxiliary treatment are sent out dali
