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.
