when summer warmth has awaken
ed the maternal instinct Of the insect
world the mud dauber wasp may be
seen gathering mortar at the margin of
stream, pool or puddle. Filling
her mandibles, which serve as
both spade and hod, she
bears the load of mud to some
rough surface, rock or wall or board or
beam. She spreads and shapes her
mortar, until, after many visits to
the mud bed, she has built tubular
cell about an inch long and three
eighths OF an inch wide.
Then her huntress instinct awakens
and her raids upon the spider realm
begins; for within this cylinder the
mother mason will put single egg.
In course of time, says a writer in
Harper's Magazine this will hatch
into a ravenous larva, whose natural
food is living spiders; and these the

On this errand she may be seen hawk

herself. If the occupant, expectant of
prey, sallies forth to seize the intrud-

Now It may be possible for you to

that you know just how much tail It

This must be made very light, and

near the center drive four slender
nails one inch long, so that a candle

nn,u TO Wash Ribbons.

The washing of ribbons is not al
vavs attended by the best results. The
following is milliner's method and
most successful: Put the ribbon into
a basin of warm water, rub on some
good white soap and wash as you
would anything else. While still wet
iron on the right side with a hot iron
and when dry rub between the hands
as if washing it until all the stiffness
is out. then iron again to remove the
wrinkles. When ribbons are washed
in this way it is difficult to tell them
from new.
Nearly every woman knows from
experience how difficult it is to wash
successfully crocheted shawl and
have it look fluffy and in prime condi-
ton when dry. One woman made
triumphantly successful experiment.
She put the shawl into a pillow case,
tied a string around the top, and then
washed it in plenty of soap and hot
water

Queer.

In my geography find some things
immensely queer,
Such as the folks that lie in bed all
day, all night. all year.
They run along, now fast, now slow
but have no feet at all,
And do not seem to hurt themselves
If something makes them fall
Perhaps they have an arm, or two, OF
three, or even more,
And though they have no threats nor
tongues they sometimes fairly
roar.
Their heads are very small indeed
their mouths are very wide,
None of them owns a penny, yet all
have banks by their side.
Such folks, with neither fingers, nor
hands nor eyes, nor ears.
Nor legs, nor backs, you must agree
are surely rather queer.

College Life in Scotland.

American college boys and high
school boys would have found student
life at the old Scottish universities
very different from the free and easy
good time they are used to at their
own seats of learning. In the early
part of the eighteenth century the stu.
dents at some of the Scottish universi-
ties could not shoulder or push" each
other. could not stand at the gate. on
the stairs or in the corridors of the
college buildings for fear they would
dispute with each other, could not
play or loiter up and down in any of
the courts while the classes were in
progress, nor play ball, billiards or
bowls. A student, no matter how old
he was-even after he had become a

Our Friend the Robin.

1t Is very easy to begin the tanning
process with the robin, for the young
birds, when they first leave the nest,
are glad enough to pick up a few
crumbs, not having yet trained their
eyes TO the constant search for in
sects. They are then easily induced
to come near the human" who pro-
vides them, and with little quiet
perseverance will soon take the food
from the hand.
But the father bird has to be reck-
oned with. and even the mother bird
in autumn will drive her youngsters
out of the garden, If possible, to in
sure their finding a domain OF their
own before the winter
Her mate is apt to appear in his
wrath when the young robins are
fully fedged-haying left the nest for
a week-and scatter them all, includ-
ing the mother, with beak and claws.
He does not approve of any spelling
of the children, and insists upon their
spreading themselves separately over
the country, in order that they may
learn at once to earn their own main
tenance. Probably he is right, for ev-
cry robin has it's own 100 yards or so
OF garden or wood in winter time, and
woe betide any newcomer which ven
lures on another's ground.
This is doubly wise provision of
Nature to insure food for each robin.
