and hoping as he goes from one disas-

lesson. they keep on finding chances for
him to throw away. To raise such a
person is simply TO add to the height
from which he must fall. To protect
his reputation is simply to furnish him

him. The sooner he gets down to the

4 Wasp's Wisdom.

NaturalIsts have decided that many
insects have senses which human be
ings lack. That OF location. shown by
the wasp. for instance, is remarkable.
One species builds its nest In sand
bank that is only a part OF SeVerai
acres of such soil. and when It leaves
in search Of food It covers the nest
so carefully that no ordinary eye could
discover its location-that IS to say, II
is just like all the surrounding ioca.

The factor which Is overlooked by
those who fear the ascendency OF any
ouixotic notion Is the existence of the
average man. This individual Is not a
striking personality. but he holds the
balance of power. Before any extrava-
CANT idea can establish itself II must
convert the average man. He Is very
susceptible and takes a suggestion SO
readily that 1t seems TO prophesy the
complete overthrow of the existing or
der OF things. But was ever conver-
sion absolute? The best theologlans
say 10. A great deal Of the old Adam
Is always left over. When the average
man takes up with n quiXoic notion
only so much OF II Is practically
wrought out as he Is able TO compre
hend. The old Adam OF common sense
continually asserts itself. The natural
corrective OF quixOtism is Sancho Fan
zaism. The solemn knight. with his
head full of visionary plans, Is follow
ed by a squire who Is as faithful as
his nature will permit Sancho has no
theorieS,and makes no demands on the
world. lie leaves that sort OF thing to
his master. He has the fatallsm which
belongs to ignorant good nature ana
the tolerance which is found In easy
going persons who have neither ideals
nor nerves. He has no illusions. though
he has all the credulity Of ignorance

uuman Breath and Bees.

Bees are revived by human breath,
even when apparently dead. An old
writer on the subject describes how,
during a very wet May, be discovered
a hive which had been working well
previously whose tenants seemed to be
dead. but by putting a few or them
into his hand and breathing upon them
for several minutes he at last observed
some motion at the second joint or
their horns. BY perseyering be re-
vived them all. and they became the
best hive In his garden. He is, how
ever, careful to remark that those who
use pomatum. perfume or hair powder
should not make too free with the In
sects during the process Of restoration.
The secret. of course-though at one
time the thing was regarded as mirac-
ulous-is In the warmth conveyed: but.
besides this. there is no doubt that bees
are reused by human breath. to which
they have such an antipathy that they
are much more easily handled II the
operator draws his breath gently and
takes care not TO direct II against them.
