IN A QUIET NEIGHBORHOOD. Buying a Lot In the City of the Dead. Caxte in a Cemetery. “Yc«r first real estate? Sad. sad! But we’re all got to come to it. But isn't i: a satisfaction to liave a few feet in a we! kept place like this? Why, I grow fonder and fonder of it every day. Surveyed and built up most of it myself, you s <. Theres a monument for you! Ilow i j* to your liking? Pretty heavy. Ah. but it s lasting—no stained surfaces, noging< r bread work to crumble off. Take mv ad vice, young man, and when vou'buv your monument don't invest in niarbl- . Taint worth twopence a ton. except t> the dealers. Nothing like granite." The superintendent led the way alo : : the eastern limits of the cemetery tlien paused as if to get his bearings, Ii strange combination of business tact a: 1 harmless gossip made the reijorter f»*<-i little like a grief stricken purchaser of a burial spot. "Now. let me see about what you'd naturally want,’’ said be, eyeing hi-com panion critically, as if sizing him up sons to save himself needless trouble. "You see everybody lias liis special likings, ami we have to sort of estimate a customer’s tastes before showing him a lot. All sorts of jieople apply to us, and we haw to use a good deal of tact and judgment so as not to offend present lot owners or new customers. We have to discrimin ate even in the grave! If a negro comes to me I've got to sell him a lot, but I've also got to put him in his natural ele ment. If I didn’t there would l>e Ned u pay.” “•But that, I should think, is a difficult task. Suppose such a person as you rel < r to wanted a line lot in what you call an aristocratic neighborhood, how would you get around the matter?” "Oh, bk“ss you, that’s easy enough. Nobody knows what lots are for sale bin myself; and if a man selects a lot where I don’t think he belongs, why. the 1< -t already sold. See? It doesn't look just light, but it's got to be done. What would one of your wealthy aristocrats think if I should sell a little lot next to liis big one, and the owner of the little lot should erect it §25 white bronze tomb stone right under the nose of liis §5.000 granite monument? War in the camp right off! I tell you there isn't a popu lar cemetery in Chicago that hasn't its South Side and its West Side, its Michi gan avenue and its South Clark street. You notice in laying out the cemetery we group a number of big lots in 111>* most conspicuous places. Caste lines are inevitable, even in a graveyard. "Well, show me a lot where a poor devil of a scribe would naturally belong,’ - said the reporter. "Yes, in just a minute. Going to bury wife or child? Oh, not married! But 1 suppose you’re going to be. Now. here’s some nice sightly lots at §00. But then there's no provision for growth of family or extensive local im provements. Being buried here is a good deal like having standing room in a theatre; you kind of feel os though somebody wero going to tramp on your toes all the while. And if you should become as rich as Jay Gould you couldn't put up a monument. The lot': too small; you'd have to be content with a headstone. I want to sell you a lot that you’ll be satisfied with hereafter and your children be proud of.” "Let me see something a little better, then.” interposed tho apparent purchaser. "I’d advise you to j?o into a new sub division. where the improvements that have been made are good, and bide fu ture developments. It is hero just as it is down town. New streets and stibdi- visions outshine the old ones. Now. here’s a mound”—by this time they bad arrived pretty nearly at the west side of the cemetery—"where the lots are large and open. There’s plenty of room her : the grade is high and tho drainage good. But I seldom bring the likes of you here, because it’s a sort of foreign settlement. You notice how the ‘sens’ and ‘oskis,’ and alts’ predominate. You’d scarcely feel at home here if I’d sell you a lot. Be sides, the locality has one great and per manent drawback. Yonder are the single graves in plain eight. You wouldn't like to live always in sight ot the poorliouse, ami you'd scarcely want to be buried in view of potter ’s field. No, I know vou wouldn’t bo satisfied here. You'd better put. a little more money in your ground and get something that v. i:l rise in value rather than deteriorate. Ah. I have it, Just come over here.” The superintendent led the way to the southeast, near a pretty expanse of wa ter. Consulting his book, he picked out a particular lot and pointed it out with satisfaction. "Now. here you are.” said lie. "1 couldn’t show you anything better in the whole cemetery. Price i .oderate. neighbors of a high class, near public drive, where you know things will alwavs be kept in order. This lot will be worth twice its present value a year from now. One hundred and twenty- five dollars and room enough for a dozen interments besides a monument. ^ ou can’t do any better. Just let ine put vour name down for it now and jou can arrange the details at the down town office. Look at the monuments going up all around you here. I an t have bet ter data bv which to judge of the local ity Right across the driveway yonder is' one of the largest lots in the cemetery. We've put a fancey price on it just --o as to induce some capitalist to buy it and put up an expensive monument. That 1 lend additional tone to the neighborhood and all the lots around will feel the in fluence. It would pay to buy this lot purely as a business investment. Chi cago Tribune. An Aquatic Spider’s Diving Beil. Y bile their nearly constant abode is the water, they are, like most other spiders, air breathers; consequently they need some special provision fur providing themselves with air while living under the water, and fur this purpose they pos sess the art of constructing a kind of diving bell. It is an interesting sight to witness one of them making his air cell. Clinging to the lower side of a few leaves, and securing them in position by spinning a few threads, the spider ri-es to the level of the water, with its belly uppermost, and, doubling up its hind legs, retains a stratum of air among the hairs with which its body is covered. Then it plunges into the water and aje pears a- in the first stage of the making of its silvery robe. Going immediately to the spot it had chosen, it brushes its body with its paws, when the air de taches itself and forms a bubble under the leaf. The spider surrounds this bubble with the impermeable silky mat ter furnished by its spinnaret. Returning to the surface, it takes in another layer of air, which it carries down and adds to the first one, also ex ten : ’g the envelope over it. Tho process is k ; >t up till the "diving bell” lias reached the proper size ami is finished. The ideal form of the construction is that of a thimble, but it often assumes an ir regular shajie. like an inverted sack. When the spider lias taken possession of its redoubt it remains quiet in it, head down, watching for the appearance of an insect. Perceiving one, it seizes it and returns to its lodge, which it has se cured against intruders by spinning threads across it, to devour its prey at its leisure.—M.

It is very strange that so strong and unkind a prejudice against the left hand has lived and increased for centuries when there is no natural or physiological reason for it. I mean to say that if you examine the skeleton of a person who was strong, healthy and well formed in life, you will find that the bones of the left hand and arm are just as many and just as large and perfect as those of the right. The study of physiology will rIkiw you too that the muscles and ligaments and cartilages that fastened that person’s arms to his body and gave them the power of mo tion were made to do their work just as well on one side of the body as on the other. If the left side were the weaker of the two, it was because of failure to exercise it as freely as the other. Monkeys and cats and other animals, to whom paws are in a certain sense bauds, would smile derisively, I imagine, if you should suggest to them that paws were rights or lefts, or that the paw on the one side could do more than its mate. When, therefore, a boy or girl says that he or she can throw a ball, handle a racket or do anything else, only with the light hand, it is a direct admission that a monkey or cat is physically better equipped than (hat boy or girl. And yet i’ is the general belief that human beings are the most perfectly formed of creatures. First attempts to use the left hand are always awkward and discouraging, but in ordinary cases persistency will grad ually strengthen the least used member and teach it to act as ably and sturdily as the right, till finally there will be two perfect hands instead of one to answer promptly the call of the master of all our powers—the will.—J. F. Herrick in Harper’s Young People. A Winter in Iceland. Although the climate of South Iceland is cold, the winter is scarcely what one would be led to expect from the northern situation. There is not much snow. A few inches usually lay upon the ground, crisp and hard, but not the piled up drifts of a New England winter. Accordingly it was possible to make horseback excur sions to the farms round about, and to see the winter life of the people in the country. This season for the Icelander is a time of comparative rest. As nothing can be done abroad lie stays of necessity at home, but bis life W no mere hiberna tion. He sleeps n great deal, for liis house is insufficiently lighted and the nights are long, but by daylight he has occupations enough. He has boats to build and oars to shape, saddles and har ness to make and to mend, or he sorts the wool which the women spin into yarn and then knit into stockings or weave into coarse homespun or flannel, like wadmal. A busy sound of whirring wheels often greets the ear when you enter the farm house, and you find the women all at work at the end of the long room. Another duty devolves on the heads of the household at isolated farms. There are good elementary schools in many place- throughout the island, but in re mote districts the children must be taught at home. In summer the time is occu pied with out-of-door work, but in the comparatively idle days of winter the father, or not infrequently the mother, teaches the children of either sex the common branches. IcAtnd is perhaps the l*est educated community on the face of the earth; throughout the length and breadth of the land there is nobody who cannot read and write, and the general knowledge of some of these obscure fish erman farmers is sometimes well nigh appalling.—William H. Carpenter in The j Atlantic. The Sons of Malta. These Maltese are a curious mixture of Moor, Italian. Greek and Arab, and I know not what else. They speak a pecu liar language, which has no grammar, but since the British occupation every ' shopkeeper speaks English, and he lies in wait for the innocent tourist as the spider did for the fly. He does not hesi tate to implore you "just to enter and look at his goods;” but beware of his al lurements if you would escaj>e with a full purse, for he has a truly tempting display.—Malta Cor.
