A gentleman who while reading the newspaper, felt bothered by the buzzing of a wasp about his head, knocked it down. It fell through the open window and lay on the sill as if dead. A few seconds afterwards, to his great surprise, a large wasp flew on to the window sill, and alter buzzing around his wounded brother for a few minutes, began to lick him all over. The sick wasp seemed to revive under this treatment and his friend then dragged him gently to the edge, grasped him round the body, and flew away with him. It was plain that the stranger, finding a wounded comrade, gave him “first aid” as well as he could, and then bore him away home. It is said that Queen Alexandra’s rule against the admission of divorced, women to the Court of St. James co tinues to be quite as strict as the late Queen Yido.-ia’s. Some American women whose matrimonial adventures have been discussed in New York and W shington recently found the doors of the palace shut to them. ‘To-day’ says that one of these who was refused admission to court was the mother of a prominent Anglo-American peer.
