The Enolish Wash.

The common wasp, as rule, keeps
its sting for self-defense. 1t will bite
fly in two with its jaws, if it gets
in its way on a window pane, but it
does not use it's sting even when try
ing to rob beehive, and tackled" by
theh bees. The latter will push a
wasp away five or six times, hustling
it off the footboard, without provoking
it to sting. But if a bee endeavors
to sting the wasp it then grapples
with it and stings back, killing or be-
numbing the insect almost at once.
British wasps are fussy and excitahle,
but not vicious, like many of the In
dian wild bees. However crowded or
uncomfortable they may be, they very
rarely quarrel with or sting each
other, as, for instance, when a num-
Der are on the same window pane,
fretting and anxious to get out. Only
when the entrance to their nest is
threatened do they become actively
aggressive, and then as a rule the at
tack is not begun till the person who
excites their fear interposes between
them and the entrance to the nest.
A setter dog was noticed to turn and
bite itself, whimpering with pain, just
as the party were sitting down to a
shooting luncheon by the side of a
wood in Yorkshire. The dog being
tired, had lain down on the hole of a
wasps' nest, and five or six of the
yellow insects were singing it at
once; but they did not touch the per-
sons sitting close blythe Spectator.

The Deadly Steam Boiler.

The modern high pressure steam
boiler must be counted as one of the
factors of risk to human life in great
cities, no less than grade crossings of
railroads, fire trap buildings, contagi-
GUS disease hospitals in thickly settled
districts and similar elements of po-
tential public mischief. The recent
distressful boiler explosion at Detroit,
which snuffed out thirty or more lives
and incidentally wrecked substantial
factory building, is a sad denotement
of the lurking danger concealed in
many a sub-cellar and outbuilding in
populcus cities
Nearly every modern business struc-
ture now has it's battery of boilers, in
which steam is carried at high pres
sure. The high speed engines and dy-
namos now in use are operated most
economically with steam energy cal
culated to raise the hair of engineers
OF former generation. An enormous
increase of the rate of steam pressure
has followed hard upon the introduc-
ton of steel boilers, and explosions,
which are bound to occur, are in conse-
quence far more dangerous and disas-
trous. Additional vigilance in inspec-
ton and stringency in statutory regu-
lation would not be amiss in limiting
as narrowly as possible the range of
fatal disasters from this cause.-Phila-
delphia Record.

Fasting and Loss of WEIGHT.

During a prolonged fast the loss of
weight is unusually rapid at first, and
decreases as time goes on; death en-
sues when certain percentage of the
loss has been reached, and this per-
centage varies according to the origi-
nal weight. Fat animals may lose half
their weight, thinner ones perhaps
two-fifths; man or woman of rather
spare build, weighing lab pounds.
might therefore lose about fifty-fve
pounds before succumbing. Children
die after a fast of from three to. five
days, during which they have lost a
quarter of their weight. Healthy
adults, however. have tasted fifty DAYS
when water has been taken. A Ger
man physician reports the case of
woman, aged AZ years, who tasted for
forty-three days, taking water freely.
She lost forty-four pounds out of las
pounds, and died from exhaustion.

hlah Shop Rerts In London.

With the gradual improvement in
the Strand rents have been steadily
advancing, but the prices realized by
the shops under the new building of
the Hotel Cecil appear to have touch
ed the high water mark.
There are in all twelve shops, and
the applications for them have been
numerous, and $4,000 a year will be
paid for those of normal size and
position, while $500 year is the rent
of the shop at the corner of the hotel
entrance, which has been taken by the
Hamburg American Steamship Line.
These shops are only twelve feet wide,
but as much as fifty-six feet deep, and
have a frontage both in the Strand
and in the courtyard of the hotel.
The same high rate prevails even
with the smallest shops. There are
two such, measuring no more than 9
feet 8 inches wide and Is feet deep,
and yet rent of s2,5G0 year is being
cheerfully paid for them. Nor are the
leases long, being for the common peri
DDS of seven, fourteen and twenty-one
years, determinable by the tenant at
the end of every seven years.-London

How the Poor Of Paris Live.

"How the poor live" is a subject
which invariably crops up as the win
ter days come upon us, when climatic
conditions drive them for shelter to
any hole or cover where cheap com
fort may be obtained. In London
the Adelphia Arches were famed fol
a most wonderful collection of human
waits and strays, and Paris, it ap
pears, has something analogous a,
Bagnolet, where there is a marvellous
shelter called by French journalist

Poor" 1t has been produced by ex
tensive excavations under hill whose
soil yields material for making plaster
Large fires are kept going to burn this
natural production and produce the
plaster. Around these glowing fur.
naces congregate homeless men, wo-
men and children, undisturbed, if they
behave, by the Paris police. For
years the undermining of this hill of
coy comfort has been going on and
pillars have been left standing at
regular intervals to prevent the top
failing in, which in the glowing fire.
light resembles to some extent the
fairy halls of the Arabian Nights. The
scene is weird in the extreme as the
freight plays upon groups of rag
ged wretches, who bask in the gener-
ous warmth until another winter morn
ing dawns and the excavation work re-
commences, when they must go out in
to the chilly air and scramble for any
stray crumbs which may fall from
the rich mans table in wealthy Paris.

Future of the Holy Land.

Palestine is not destined to be sim

FUNNY WEDDING PRESENTS.
A Novel Token Sent by Grabbed Old
Uncle.

/
| Uncle.
Among other presents received by
certain Gloucester doctor on the
occasion of his marriage was a hand
somely bound album filled with paper
cuttings relating to matrimonial dis
putes and their law.court sequels.
The recipient, man Of violent tenn.
per, was furious, and threatened dire
vengeance against the anonymous
sender, whom, however, he failed to
discover.
How to Be Happy Though Married
was the offering sent by a friend to
London solicitor on the occasion of
the latter's marriage with a lady
whose temper was far from angelic.
Though an excellent book, it failed
in this instance to meet with approval,
and, indeed, was the cause of consider
able unpleasantness between the par
ties.
Not very long since a very stout
lady was led to the altar by a gen.
tlemaT who even surpassed her in the
wedding breakfast some twenty or
more parcels arrived from local chem
lists, all containing various brands of
anti-fat, the gift, as accompanying
note said, "of certain friends desir-
Gus of remaining unknown, who can
think of no more seasonable gift upon

SION"
A certain amateur author, who had.
at his own expense, published a vol
ume of verses, was surprised and de-
lighted at the ready sale of his book,
and the strength of which he gave a
farewell bachelor supper to circle
of friends. Imagine, then, his disgust
when his wedding presents, which
soon began to arrive literally by the
score, were found to consist exclusive
ly of his own poems, which he fondly
imagined had been disseminated
broadcast among the reading public.
A Manchester gentleman, who last
year espoused a lady whose beauty
was non-existent save In the eyes of
her fiance. who was continually harp
ing thereon, received, as wedding gifts
from various friends, who discreetly
remained anonymous, no fewer than
dozen pairs of spectacles, each accom-
panied by a note suggesting that his
sight must surely be impaired, or he
would not have ventured on his pres
ent matrimonial choice.
Although it is now too late, send
you the accompanying ear trumpet.
Use 1t and you may not in the future
be deaf to advice" was the whimsical
message received five months since
by young man who had married con-
trary to his relations wishes from a
grabbed old uncle from whom he had
expectations. Consequently he ignor-
ed the sarcasm and kept the present.

BOYS AS FAkIRS
Pertness and Persistence the Chief
Stock In Trade.

OF recent years large number Of
young boys have gone into the street
sale of trinkets, toys, tricks, etc. In
sense they are immunes. Their
pockets are counters and shelves. Be-
ing boys they attract but little notice
in restaurants, cafes, offices and cor
ridors; consequently they infest these
places, which no grown-up fakirs are
allowed to do. A janitor or proprietor
will kick man into the middle of next
week, whereas a boy prowls about
where he pleases. Every customer
feels that these youngsters are nui-
sances, but none likes to complain
against a little fakir in search of
bread. Pertness and persistence are
the chief stock in trade of a bright
chap who tackles me daily. At first

because some fools have laughed at his
wit"
Here is the way of the world: Num-
berless people hate the very sight of
that boy. He Is veritable bete-noire.
But there is no escape. He pursues
and captures. AS he grows older he
will cultivate a cheek in comparison
with which the indurated hide of a
rhinocerous will be as velvet. In the
chrysalis state he will be provocation
and an affront. Until about twenty
he Is to be grievance, vexation, a
plague and curse to the world in gen.
eral. Then let us skip thirty years.
He is fifty, power in the financial
world, leader in politics, billion
aire. He has swept everything before
him. All his past sins are forgotten.
His youth is held up to mankind as
having been a model of sobriety, en-
ergy, perseverance, push, indomitable
courage, will power, brains and am
bition; 1t is an example for all young
men to emulate. None remembers
that his fakir days were many a |

Fame his bust is marked-SUCCESS |

Waiting For the Horse to Yawn.

A New York young man just back
from trip in Canada was telling his
friends of the times he had had.
I'VE took a horse and a blackboard, ,
said he, from Xavier station out into
the woods for days shooting. When
we got there, of course, we unhitched
the horse and took off the harness.
Then we went hunting.
"At might, when we came to hitch
up, hanged if we knew how to do it.
In about an hour we got nearly all
the harness on, but the old horse
wouldn't let us put the bit mn his
mouth. We couldn't drive him without
that!
Charlie said: Say, have you lots
OF cigars?'

to do with it?'

down and smoke till that brute
yawns!' And we did it."-New York
