HAVE MANY GOOD QUALITIES
Wasps Are by No Means Merely the
Annoying Singing Creatures So
Commonly Supposed.

The human view of wasps seems to
be lacking in breadth. Because they
are given to singing us we fail to do
Justice to their virtues. One scientist
who has given much study to the mat
ter SAYS that the main doctrines of the
wasp are eff any wasp will not work,
neither shall he eat; :" and every wasp
TO labor according to his capacity, and
receive according to his needs in a
free community"
Division of labor, 1t is believed goes
a long way in the nest. Some of the
workers seem to be specially employed
as foragers and soldiers; others appear

while yet others are engaged as paper
makers and masons
Wasps are at all times particularly
fond Of honey. Indeed they have "A
very sweet tooth for sugar in any form.
toward the end Of summer, therefore,
as beekeepers well know, they will
force their way into beehives as open
robbers and carry off by main force
as much as they can gorge of their
winged neighbors' honey.
The drones Of the race, instead of
being idle and luxurious creatures, are
sober industrious and well behaved
members Of the community. They
clean the streets OF their own town
with exemplary diligence; they act as
public scavengers or sanitary officers
And they have their reward for, I'M

But Letitia shook her head. And
when after a half hours arguing,
pleading, beseechment, Albert Crafts
disconsolately took his hat and went
home he was no nearer to winning
Letitia's consent than he had been any
time these last ten years.
In the usual course of events it
would have been a week before AL

second day after his latest disappoint-
