In the morning the immigrant had
a good wash and brush up and Il full

en- five to his companion and sent him
about his business. He had conceived
a great idea, and wished to have as
few confederates as possible. Asking
a policeman who was the greatest
wool broker IN Sydney. and getting
the address, he went straight down
to the office. where his peculiar earn
estness soon got him an audience of
the busy broker. No one in Sydney
at that moment dreamt of war be
tween France and Germany, and wool
was being sold merrily at ninepencc a
pound.
We'll, my man. what can I do for
you?" asked the broker.
Il want you to tell me- said the
poor immigrant, what the price Of
wool would be in Sydney should war
break out between France and Ger

About three to four shillings." said
the broker.

NEW B0sToN NOTION.

| A man aroused the curiosity of Bos- l ton last winter by spending much of his time in a tent on Huntington avenue. It now appears that he was expert
 menting with theory of outdoor life as a cure for tuberculosis. It differs
 somewhat from other similar plans He is ready now to pitch his camp for con-
 sumptives. This camp will consist of
 ten piano box tents, arranged in cir
 cle with an open-air fire in the center,
 and surrounded by a duck wall eight
 feet high. Each of these tents will be
 a consumptive's home; a consumptive will sleep there, even through the cold est weather, with no other protection than plenty of felt blankets, felt sleep ing-boots and two gallon jug of hot water. The tents will be lined with weather paper The flaps will open to- wards the fire, the ten tents making. a little circle about a clean gravel court. The people who live there will wear one heavy suit night and day. They will each of them take one quick soap less bath q week. and will eat three good hearty meals a day with coffee in the morning and hot chocolate any time of the day or night. Their bill of fare will include milk, eggs, vegetables, bread and butter and meat-chiefly beef, mutton, or pork broiled on spits bers, or boiled down into soup.
 This is quite as sensible as some of the other cures" and doubtless we shall soon hear that if is as successful

dent means of exit in case of complica- tion with European powers. The po- litlcal importance of such canal has been further enhanced by the new port of Alexandrovsk, which has been con- structed on the Marman coast in Kola bay. This naval port can accommodate the largest war vessels, and is. owing to the Gulf Stream, almost ice free. The port of Alexandrovsk and the canal referred to supplement each other, provided the latter is made suf- ficiently wide and deep. Only small number of locks will be necessary. The terminus of the canal at the White sea will be at Saroskaja, on it's western coast. The entire distance between St. Petersburg and Soroskaja is very near ly 600 miles, of which rather more than half-306 miles--is through the lakes, and 295 miles through rivers which are being regulated.

4 SOCIAL INNO YAIION.

The very rich find it hard work to have as much fun as they have money, and their efforts to have fun are occa- sionally a little strained. What is call ed "a social innovation" has just been

REJECTED RUI S4TISFIED.

| Brother Bryan is experiencing the in-
 gratitude of a republic. Interviews l with the Democratic editors of Kansas as to the probable choice of the Demo- crats of the State in 1904 show a re-
 markable desertion from Bryan. Of the expressions obtained, Tom l.. John son of Ohio has the first choice for
 President, with percentage of 31h
 per cent. Schley, Bailey of Texas, and
 Bryan follow with 121a per cent. each.
 The scattering preferences include
 Cleveland, Stone, and Hill.
 That what has happened has made
 some impression on Brother Bryan is
 indicated by some remarks which were
 made by him at the Platte County
 (Kansas) fair. He said: would rather be right than be president. In 1896 and 1900 the majority of the voters of this country said by their ballots that they did not want me as their ruler, and l think I Would be imposing upon them by giving them an opportunity to vote against me again. Twice I was de- feated and while I do not say I was defeated honorably am satisfied, and do not intend to try to force myself in to the race again. If the American people ever decide that they wish to try Bryanism I could not refuse to grant them their desire, but for the present at least, the presidency Is the least thing on my mind when I go to bed at night.
 Of course it is always better to be right than to be president and when man can't be president it is great satis faction to him to feel that he is right. If Brother Bryan should ever discover that he has been wrong while trying to be president he would have a bad quar- ter of an hour. Now he is cheerful and as becomes a man who feels that he Is right.

place of trowel. The cell is about the | length of her own body, and is hollow, like a little mud hut, with q round hole at one end, This is the home or radle of single young wasp, soon to be
 tatched from an egg which his mother will place in it. As each of the young ones will have a similar little home all
 to hmself, and as there are no work
 CTS to help their mother to feed her
 children, she stocks each cell with food
 in advance, that each occupant may at-
 tend to his own wants from the time he
 emerges from the egg. Spiders seem to
 be the most desirable food so soon as
 the cell is ready; the wasp catches one,
 stlngs 1t just enough to paralyze it and
 places it inside. Then she catches an-
 other and another, stinging them and
 storing them away one at a time until
 the cell is full of living but paralyzed
 spiders. But while engaged in this
 work she deposits an egg on the body of one of the victims and from this egg
 will be matched the young wasp. for whom all the trouble has been taken.
 When the cell is full, the mother closes up the opening with bit more mud, and here her responsibility ends as far as one child Is concerned. But there are other children to provide for, and she proceeds to make another mud cell adjoining the first, stocks it with spiders deposits an egg, and closes up the end as before. After making seve- ral cells side by side, she often builds another tier on top of these and per- haps another above these again.
 The object of the wasp in stinging the spiders is not positively known. Some authorities claim that her object is to prevent the struggles of the victims and to make it possible for her to store them easily away, while others assert that by thus paralizing them without killing them she. provides meat which will keep fresh until the young wasp S ready to eat it.
 In a few days the egg in the first made cell Is hatcher and out comes a | small, white, legless grub, which be- gins to breakfast on the spider to which | it was attached. It eats him up, legs | and all. and does the same with the others, growing rapidly until the cell lately filled with spiders is now occu ped by one large larva. This creature, | having nothing more to eat begins to | turn It's attention to work. It begins | by spinning a silk lnng to the cell, and | proceeds to make coverng for it's own body. The material it uses is nued which exudes from it's lip in fine thread and which hardens when exposed to the air. The covering in which the larva envelopes it's body is white at first but soon changes to brown color and becomes very brittle. Inside this brown case the creature un- lergoes a great transformation, and finally becomes a wasp, which gnaws through the wall of its cell and pushes ts way out into the world. If it is a 'emale she soon begins to build mud nuts like the one she herself emerged rom, and after providing her future children with enough food to see them ;afely to wasphood, she dies and leaves he orphans to shift for themselves
