Female Spiders Kill the Swains Who
Come to Court Them.
There are the spiders, who live
and die in tiie shadow of a. unique
law, which deciare.- that the female
shall be in all things stronger and
wiser than the male, it is impos
sible to find elsewhere in nature
such an astounding sex relation, for
it is the chief object of the male
spider to escape being devoured by
the female -pider to whom he has
elected to surrender his heart. His
whole structure is designed to aid
and abet him in this perilous under
taking. lie is small —indeed some
times minute —strong of limb, agile,
wary to an extreme. As a natural
result his personality is not pre
possessing. lie is no expert spin
ner. He goes his way through life,
now' and then weaving an inade
quate web —a poor, lopsided affair —
to snare the one or two gnats which,
are all he needs as sustenance for
his diminutive body.
At length, at the proper hour, he
discovers the silken castle of a fe
male and, observing it, hesitates,
profoundly meditative. In this he
is not alone, for others, too, have
obeyed her silent summons —have
come from far places to group
themselves discreetly near her.
There is one suitor perhaps pos
sessed of great valor—even so, for
days his courage fails him, but at
last valiantly this troubador ad
vances and twangs one of the
strands of her web. By this he
strives to discover her temper, to
discern her mood. At last, overcome
by his own temerity, lie risks all and
goes up her silken ladder, stumbling
over his own multifarious legs, so
great is his ha.-te.
She watches him, immobile, a
tiny sphinx made of velvet; then
there is a sudden rush, a fatal wrap
ping of the entangling mesh—and
an ogre drops aside the body of a
gallant knight, sucked dry. It was
not auspicious this venture, and six
more suitors may meet a like fate
before one succeeds in soothing her.
No. the lot of a spider is not a
happy one.—C. William Beebe in
Atlantic Monthly.
An Amazed Woman.
A woman who had an Arabic
glass cup of the fourteenth century
and did not know its value took it
to the British museum. After due
consideration the expert, to her sur
prise, said that, though the museum
did not want it, it might be worth
■52,000. The woman shuddered, be
came she had been'carrying in a
crowded London omnibus a bit of
glass worth so much money, and it
had miraculously escaped smashing.
Finally. wanting money more than
Arabian glass, she sent the object to
an auctioneer's. Fancy her amaze
ment when, starting at $2,500, the
Arabic cup went by leaps and
bounds and was finally knocked
down for the nice sum of $6,500.
The bidding of two rival collectors
did the business.
Watch Papers.
When thick watches with remov
able cases were carried it was the
custom for watchmakers whenever
they cleaned a watch to place in the
bottom of the loose case an engrav
ed label with their names and ad
dresses, on which they would write
the date of the repair. Frequently
these labels were elaborately en
graved. Sometimes they contained
maxims or verses around the out
side. This habit gave rise to the
fashion of placing in the cases
verses and devices, tokens of friend
ship or love, sometimes written on
paper, but more frequently painted
or worked on satin. All these were
designated as watch papers irrespec
tive of the material of which they
were composed.—Exchange.
Most Ancient Condiment.
Mustard is the most ancient of
condiments. The Egyptians regard
ed it as an aid to digestion. The
Asians ate it freely. It wms sold by
peddlers in Solomon’s time. The
Normans and Anglo-Saxons in the
earliest times never went to war
without an ample supply of prepar
ed mustard. It was their food and
medicine. The plant seems to thrive
in all parts of the world and is
eaten by every civilized nation and
many heathen tribes, either as a
spring salad (the young leaves are
most delicious) or a seasoning pre
pared from the ground seed.
Power of the Press.
A soap millionaire and an actor
manager were talking business.
“I,” said the actor - manager,
•‘have discontinued the use of pos
ters. My announcements appear in
the newspapers exclusively. I have
heard that those who don’t read the
papers don’t go to the theater.”
“You are wise,” said the soap
millionaire, “and I do like you.
Long since I discarded every form
of advertisement save that of the
press, finding that they who didn’t
read a newspaper had no use for
soap.”
OiO PERFECT HUMAN EYE. j
Too Much Care Cannot Be Given Those •
Hard Worked Organs.
Measurements of human eyes
demonstrate that there is probablj I
no such thing in the world as an ,
absolutely perfect eye. That would j
be a miracle which nature with all :
her infinite ingenuity has never per
formed. No human face among all
the world’s 1,600,000,000 may be
held perfect, either artistically or
physiological!). To the owner of
the face this is relatively an tin;'.im
portant matter, but to the owner of
the pair of eyes an error of < ne
three hundredth of an inch in the !
curvature or dimensions of the eye- j
balls'may make their all important;
function abnormal, resulting in eye !
strain with its attendant piiv-icai ■
ills.
The eye responds to the slightest '
physical force in the world—that
is, light wave.- which are hundreds:
of millions of times more infinitesi
mal than sound waves. The eyes
are the hardest worked of all or
gans, and the safety and existence
of human lives frequently depend
directly on their accurate working.
The harmful results of eye strain,
never wholly absent throughout
life, may begin very early in child
hood, even in the second year.
Many little children, for instance,
are constantly tearing their clothes,
hurting their feet and legs, stum
bling and falling, because their eyes
are so faulty that their estimates of
the size, location and nature of ob
jects are not correctly made. Adults
who have been blind and are sud
denly given good vision require
years to learn to see with accuracy
of safety in action. Probably 6 per
cent of children are left handed,
left eyedness causing left handed
ness. From six to ten years of age
many children show an incompre
hensible “nervousness,” twitching of
the hands and face, fickle appetite
and various disorders, all usually
due to eye strain.
Yet almost all of these cases of
eye strain can be relieved and
should be relieved in early child
hood. The importance of correct
ing this condition early in the
child’s school years and the influ
ence of the child must be apparent
to every parent and teacher. —Jour-
nal of the American Medical Asso
ciation.
What Papa Put Up With.
No matter how smart and intelli
gent your little boy is, he is sure to ■
drive you mad some evening with
the following sort of thing:
“Papa!”
“Well, what on earth do you want
now ?”
“Papa, didn’t Adam have more
than one name ?”
“Os course he didn’t have more
than one name. Now, please don’t
bother me any more; I’m reading.
One more silly question and you’ll
go to bed. Do you understand
that ?”
“Yes, of course. But can’t 1. ask
you something about the same ques
tion?”
“Yes; what is it?”
“'Was ‘Adam' his first name or
his last name ?” Cleveland Plain
Dealer.
Savona.
The history of Savona is that of
a long struggle with the Genoese,
ended in the sixteenth century,
when they seized the town and ren
dered its harbor useless by sinking
vessels filled with stones at the en
trance. In 1746 it was captured by
Sardinia, but was soon back again
under the control of Genoa. The
ancient Savo where Mago stored his
booty in the second Punic war,
Savona was the birthplace of the
popes Sixtus IV. and Julius 11. and
the home of the ancestors of Co
lumbus, who bestowed its name on
one of the first islands he discovered
in the West Indies.—London Stand
ard.
Then the Other Spoke.
In a Great Western railway car
riage, on the way to London, a
youth had disturbed and annoyed
the other passengers by loud and
foolish remarks during a great part
of the journey. As the train pass
ed Hanwell Lunatic asylum he re
marked :
“1 often think how nice the asy
lum look- from the railway.”
“Some day,” growled an old gen
tleman, "you will probably have oc
casion to remark how nice the rail
way looks from the asylum.” —Lon-
don Answers.
Why She Believed.
“What sort of a chap is that fel
low’ who has been calling upon
you ?”
“He’s the luckiest fellow in the
world.”
“How do you know?”
“Tie told me so.”
"And do vou believe all he tells
vou ?”
believed that, for he told me
it just after I had promised to be
come his wife.”—Houston Post.
DARK OF THE MOON.
An Effect That Is Produced by the
L.jht From the Earth.
Many people have wondered why
the part of the moon that receives
no sunlight is often visible to us,
the term being the "old moon in
the young moon’s arms.” The dark
part is easily seen as a copper col
ored globe reposing in the bright
crescent. This that we see is noth
ing more or less than the earth
shine on the moon. We appear the
same way to the moon when we are
in that phase, and our dark part is
where the moonshine appears and
the bright part of the sunshine.
The reason the copper color ap
pears is because light has to trav
erse the atmosphere of the earth
three times —once on coming from
the sun to the earth, once when re
jected to the moon, and again on
being-reflected back to us. Our at
mosphere the peculiar
property of absorbing the blue rays
of this white light and allowing only
the red and orange to go through,
thus causing the appearance of cop
per color by the triple absorption.
An odd thing connected with this
phenomenon, though having noth
ing to do with it, is this: That part
of the moon which appears dark to
us is the same part of the earth
that appears light to the moon
at any specified time, and thdt part
of the moon which appears bright
to us corresponds to the portion of
the earth appearing dark to the
moon.
Os course it is well known that
the moon gives out no light what
ever itself, the moonshine being
merely the light of the sun on the
moon reflected to us. The same ap
plies with the earth in its shine on
the moon, save that we do give out
glows, no doubt, around great cities
at night, on account of the enor
mous number of lights. One thing,
however, in which moonshine excels
the earth shine is its constant char
acter. Where the earth possesses
varying clouds the old moon never
has any at all.—St. Louis Republic.
Stone Cake.
In very unusual seasons the peo
ple of Rajputan, in India, are de
prived of seeds and succulent roots
of grasses. Under these very ad
verse conditions the barks of trees
and even ground up rocks are re
sorted to principally to give bulk to
the scanty meal and thereby to stay
the pangs of hunger for a longer
time. A soft stone found on the
Bikanir-Marwar border of Jaipua is
largely used in that part of the
country to give bulk to the meager
meal. This stone is friable and
easily ground into fine powder. It
contains an oleaginous substance
which has some nutrient qualities,
and the people have found that
when finely ground and used in
proportions of about one-fourth to
three-fourths of hour it does not
impair digestion for a considerable
time.
Reading the Thumb.
The nail phalanx of the thumb is
the index of a person's will power.
The other phalanx shows the
amount and quality of his judg
ment, reason, logic. To be properly
balanced both phalanxes should be
of equal length. If the will phalanx
is a trifle shorter than the other the
equipoise is still maintained. But
if either phalanx is considerably
larger than the other one’s nature
is made up of conflicting elements.
There is either too much will with
too little judgment to curb it or
too little determination to give ef
fect to the dictates of reason.
Wherein They Differed.
Dr. Emily Blackwell, one of the
pioneers of her sex in medicine,
heard a young physician deliver a
fierce diatribe against opening the
doors of the profession to women.
When he ceased she asked:
“Will you please tell me one rea
son why they should not practice
medicine ?”
“Certainly, madam. They haven’t
the muscle, the brawn, the physical
strength.”
“I see, sir. Your conception of a
sickroom is a slaughter house. Mine
is not.”
In the Name of the Law.
A mayor in Paris finished a mar
riage ceremony recently with the
words ‘“You are united.” The wed
ding party had just left when he re
membered that he had omitted part
of the formula and that consequent
ly the marriage was invalid. He
promptly opened the window and
shouted after them, “I say, you
know it is in the name of the law
that you are united.”
Bright Officer.
“Did you get his number?” mur
mured the man who had been run
over bv the auto, to the policeman.
“No?’
“Well, what kind of a looking
car was it?”
“I don’t know. I was trying to
get his number.”—Life.
