What Wasps Feed Upon.

The wasp is not vegetarian like the
bee. and our cement-maker has before
her the problem of supporting her
young with meat rather than with
bread. AS her eggs are laid out in hot
weather and as enough food must be
stored in the cell with the egg to mature
the young insect, the question is how to
preserve the meet fresh for so long a
time. She meets the difficulty thus ::
After tube is finished except one
end, which is left open, she flies off on
hunt for spiders. She finds a fat, +,
healthy one. pounces upon it, stings it
and carries off and places it in the mud
cell. She repeats this process until she
has placed as many spiders in the tube
as, according to her judgement, will
be needed She then lays an egg in the
cell and walls up the opening.
The remarkable thing about this per
formance is the magic effect of her
sting. Whether it is the result of a
subtle poison OF whether it is special
spot in the spider 5 nervous system
where the sting is inserted we do not
know. Certain it is that after being
thus stung the spider lives on in para
lyzed condition for weeks and even
months. 1t can move only slightly and
remains helpless in its mud sepulchre
until the wasp egg matches into vora-
cious grub, which at once falls to and
eats with great relish the meat thus
miraculously preserved.
Whether the wasp sting renders the
spider insensible to pain or not is
question not yet settled. However, the
chances are in favor of the theory that
it does. Anyway, we need waste nc
sympathy on the spider the most blood
thirsty of all the little people of the
fields and woods. There is sense OF
retributive justice in the thought of
spider helpless and at the mercy OF
small insect which 1t would have
mercilessly devoured had it been
able.
So we need not accuse our alert, in
dustrious cement maker of any un-
reasonable cruelty if she. like us, insists
upon meat diet for her young, nor
need we have any fear Of her sting, fol-
she seldom uses it as weapon of offense
or defenses. s.-Chautauquan

readers who cannot afford or do not have access

Attention is also called to The Republic g
Sunday Magazine. Its hall tone illustrations

REED " 1900.
The Ex.Speaker is Against Imperial
ism.--Condemns the War
Policy.

A Portland. Me. dispatch Of recent
date says: Look out for Thomas
Bracket Reed in 1900.
This remark is heard in many parts of
Maine and New England. where
opposition to McKinley's policy of i'm
perialism has its strongest hold.
The ex Speaker is now pronouncedly
against the war for the subjugation of
/ the Filipinos.
In railroad train last night Mr.. Reed
took part in discussion with two Port
land men and plainly expressed his
sentiment in regard to the war in the
Philippines One of the friends with
him. who is a radical expansionist, re-
marked that to withdraw our troops
from the Philippines now would
humiliate our nation before the world.
Mr., Reed replied:
"You don t think those Filipinos
would chase our soldiers 1000 miles if
they should start for home, do your
The Portland man replied that it was
not fear of the Filipinos, but humiliation
in the sight of other nations that was
referred to. Whereupon Mr.. Reed
said:
Il have always observed that with
individuals the fear of humiliation is
exactly in proportion as they deserve it,
and l believe the same principles holds
good with a nation and with a party.
Some people seem to be afraid that these
Filipinos will put their tongues in their
cheeks at us. They have done that
already. They have watched our failure
as others have. don t know how long
it will be before the American people
get tired of spending $50, 900, 900 year
trying to conquer these people, but it
does not seem to me it will be very long.
can conceive that freedom is just as
dear TO them as it is to us and that they
will fight for it just as long.
The suspicion that Thomas B. Reed
resigned his seat in the House of
Representatives and took up his residence
In New York that he might be an avail
able candidate for the Presidential
nomination in 1900 was strengthened
today when it was reported that one of
the most prominent life insurance COM
panies in this city has ordered 100, 900
campaign buttons for I. B. Reed for
President in 1900.
Many of these buttons were distributed
today. They bear portrait of Mr..
Reed, with the words. True and
tried above the portrait, and 1900
underneath. Each button is pinned
through small American flag.

The South.

In reply to a comment Of the Macon

nal says:
Why should we not feel friendly to-
ward every section, class or community
of our common country2
For the South especially THE Jour
nal confesses a friendly feeling.
Has not the South contributed its
quota to the greatness of the nation-in
its material products, in the beauty of
its women and the manhood of its men
Has it not endured the curse of car
petbaggers1 Has it not for years paid
its proportion of $3.50. 900 900 annually
in pensions, of which it receives not a
cent?
And in spite of this has it not con.
tinued to contribute to the country g
prosperity with its cotton, its sugar and
its manufacturers
When the shackles were struck from
million slaves did not the South alone
bear the burden of their altered lives
and of the problem of their maintenance
Is it not today struggling alone with the
race probleml
II is hard to be truly great with a
broken back. yet, standing up grimly
under its burden of disabilities after tn,

Man ha -nnated. Here.

Prospects are now very favorable that
the stave factory, which we stated last
week was seeking a location here, will
be secured for Van Buren,.
The representatives of the company
which proposes erecting the plant met
the members of the Commercial League
last Tuesday evening and laid before
them their proposition, which appears
very reasonable one; namely that the
people of Van Buren secure for them,
rent free, a five year lease on five acre
tract of land, on which they will erect
their own buildings, and put in side
track for handling cars of raw and
finished material The members of the
League considered their proposition
very reasonable one and have begun to
look toward securing lease on suitable
tract of land, two or three of which are
now under consideration, the most
accessible being the old Long Bell mill
site east of town. The gentlemen took
drive through this section and stated
that Van Bnren furnished the location
they had been looking for and that
within thirty days after arrangements
had been completed they would have
the plant in operation. The plant here,
we understand. will be somewhat on the
order of Il finishing plant, as they have
already a number of mills where the
material is gotten out in the rough.
We hope the League will be able to
secure them the desired location without
much trouble.
