WASP AND ITS PREY.

As DR.. Darwin was walking one
day in his garden he perceived a
wasp upon the gravel walk with a
large fly nearly as big as itself which
1T had caught. Kneeling down, he
distinctly saw it cut off the head
and then taking up with it's feet
the trunk or middle portion of the
body, to which the wings remained
attached, fly away.
But a breeze OF wind acting on the
wings of the fly turned around the
wasp with its burden and impcded
ITS progress. Upon this it alighted
again on the gravel walk, Deliberate
ly sawed off first one wing and then
the other, and having thus removed
the cause of its embarrassment, flew
off with its booty.

The judgment of President Taft
has proved to be sound in his eX.
pressed belief that a material saw

that by the application of sound
business principles TO the prob

saving can be effected without any
of the baneful effects predicted by
many who deplored the "parsimon-
ions policy" of the new admins
tration. Mr.. Meyer is the first
member of the cabinet to report to
the president his estimates for the
next fiscal year, and he has effect
ell a saving, as compared with the
