Oarrfnlly atotfind. the tramp reraali admirable traits of character mod Renina ( of no mean order. The paper-making , 'fj traap of British Gniana, in South Am- ( U erioa, perhaps, oarrias away the palm of t r ingaannitT as an anhiteot even from the ^ 1? bona. Its abodea are made of regular ^ ' Magna, placed one above an another in a 1 J rpeciea of oireuiar tower. Some of there 1 I bouaea poaaeaa as many aa fifteen to ( 1 ' twenty stage* which all tmmmiaiioats ! , v with each other by means of a hole ; ( - plaoed in the ana tie of each. The can ^ h . ties which shelter the insect are placed ( [; on the oedling of each oompaitmenL . Tbe entire building of this wasp, which ' ( d 1 ordinarily bangs to a tree, is composed of ( a kind of brown paste exactly like ctod- ,, , board ; but it in not known from what ( ,. , source the material is drawn. Tbe taud- ( ' mason wasps of tbe regions of the Ama- , " sons are also artfmna of skill and ingenn- , ity.-no whit inferior to the otlier inwots ; s which we have spoken. The beds of , . stiff; white day, found in the river , - regions of Uracil, furnish the inhabitant* , r wiUt material, whence they manufacture j t eicrllenl pottery ; but the wa«ps make ( out of the same material forma which , rival the skill and beauty of the human t handiwork. Having chosen some biaucl. j i or twig for his nest-building, the indtu- | i trious little builder starts for tbs elay- ( 1 { hsnk st onoe. This it spproschet with s - loud hum. and, losing no time in survey- , ing the gfonnd, instantly kneads litth , r ! |telleta of clay, which it aan cany in its i mouth. This little ball of moist day is . ' I laid on the edge of the oelh and then , 1 spread out around the circular rim by , means of the lower lip. guided by the , mandibles. The insect places itself as- , r tride of the rim, pats the rides with its , fcA, inside and out, smoothing and bar- , f dming it, and then flies off for another , ' day-balL Aa this neat is designed for . . the home of the young, the faithful ] moths waap makes provision for the ana- , tonsnoe of the baby waap before the niwt ' is scaled up. and afUT she has laid her' eggs.

Foiling Iran beneath " ' bis east a pieoe of cardboard that had a railway advertisement on one ride, and ' that was white on the other, he slashed , iu oornern off with an old pocket-knife. * and cut a aoollop in one end. A piece of ' r white paper came from one of his ; pock Ma. The cardboard, white aide onl, , . was slipped nuder his dirty vest, the ' aoollop ju«t fitting his neck. The pioei' 1 of paper was deftly folded and the oor- 1 ' . tiers clipped and plaoed around his 1 creasy neck. Two pins laalenad the paper to tbe card-board. Two more 1 , filed the card -board firmly under the 1 ; vest. Just then the through train came ' ' in. The dinner gong rattled on tbe ' platform. Over the steps of a eoaeh 1 Irom behind the freight oar cam« Mr. ' Tramp. His mother wouldn't haw ' j recognised him. He was bareheaded. ' His shirt front was glossy white.
