A Strange Pet.

Perhaps the strangest pet ever kept by Q
man was a wasp which Sir John Lubbock
caught in the Pyrenees and resolved to
tame. he began by teaching 1t to take its
meals on his hand, and in very short
space of time it grew to expect to be fed In
that way. Sir John preserved this pet
with the greatest care. True, it stung him
once, but then it had every excuse for do
ing SO. Sir John was examining it while
on railway journey, and, the door being
opened by ticket collector, he uncere-
moniously stuffed it into a bottle, and the
outraged Spaniard, not feeling quite at
home during the process, gave him gen.
tie reminder as to the proper way to treat

fever, such as blood-poisoning, the in

fevets, when the temperature of the

given. as they would not cool the blood,
but might help to heat it.
Some fruits have cooling properties,
as they contain cltrlc acid, and this

give measured quantities of cltrates

the uncertain action Of fruit.
Fruit and fresh vegetables are anti

There have been many abuses, a
good deal of corruption and much be,
trayal of trust in our public life, and it
is wholesome sign that public opinion
has become aroused and sensitive TO
these things, says the Journal of Com.
merce. even though it begets undue
suspicion and incites to exaggeration
and lack of discrimination in criticism,
Abuses are to be cured by exposure
and denunciation and not by soft words
and extenuation or smoothing over
offenses. Abuses are due to the con.
duct Of men, and it may be that Of
fenses must come, but it is wholesome
to pronounce woe unto those by whom
they come. If there has been much
sharp criticism Of late, the public men
who have fostered or tolerated wrongs
are responsible for it.

1t is maintained that the title "hon
orable'' in this country is conferred
rather loosely upon all officials holding
distinguished public office. Custom has
Endorsed its use as related to members
of Congress- Governors, State Senators,
Judges and the courts of record, high
Federal officials and the Mayors Of the
larger cities. 1t is insisted that title
simply indicates that the person has
held or does hold an Office deserving Of
honor and respect.

variations in thickness according to
certain maladies, and the length of the

President Roosevelt's inheritance tax
suggestion scares no one in England.
They have it there; they have it grad
uated and they know tEat it is not
dangerous, says the New York World.
The British estate duty" runs from
one per cent. on estates of less than
$25o0 to eight per cent on estates of
more than $5.Oo0.OO0. II Mr.. Rookie
feller's estate were some day to be
.settled" in England and were to be
1nyentoried at 0o,0O0.0oO, it would
pay $40,O00,OO0 in death duties to the
crown, thus far reducing general taxa
tion. The British income tax was
fourteen pence In the pound the last
year Of the Boer War. An income Of
$50, 100000 would that year have paid
$1,450,000 to tighten general taxation.
And why not? President Roosevelt,
by the way. said nothing about the in
come tax. That which is denounced as
wild radicalism IN our Republic Is the
plain common sense upon which con.
