When Maflk Twain was editing
the Virginia City “Enterprise”
writing copy one day and mining
the next, a superstitous subscri¬
ber once wrote and said he had
found a spider in his paper. Was
this good or bad luck? Twain re¬
plied to him in.the “Answers to
Correspondents” column as fol¬
lows: “Old Subscriber: the find¬
ing of a spider in your .copy of the
‘Enterprise’ was neither good or
bud luck. The spider was merely
looking over our pages to find out
what merchant was not advertis¬
ing, so that it could spin its web
across his door in anticipation of
leading a free and undisturbed ex¬
istence forever after.”

Beef Was Second.
A man in a condition of inebriety was
walking up n small side street when
he saw on a restaurant a board w r ith
file words: "Eleven to 3, beef, mutton,
vegetables, cheese; 5 to h, soup, joint,”
and so on. “Ilelloo! Eleven to 3—de¬
cent price!” he said to himself. “That
sounds all right.” lie walked in, placed
a shilling on the cashier’s desk and
muttered thickly: "A bob on beef.
D’y’ear?” Then he zigzagged out. An
hour later he made his way back to
the establishment. As he entered one
of the waitresses was given her order,
"Mutton one, beef two.” “Confound it
all!” remarked the backer of beef.
“Just my luck—a secoud again!”— Lon

Mount Rainier’s Shadows.
There are some wonderful shadow
effects produced by nnd upon the gi¬
gantic snowy cofie of Mount Rainier.
It sometimes happens that the sky as
seen from the city of Tacoma just be¬
fore sunrise is covered with a dome
-irf- ftU i jn) 1 1W,"n, 1 * ipyj. jyove rore '
while behind the peak, toward the east,
the sky Is clear. In such circumstances
the rising sun casts the shadow of the
great mountain upon the cloud curtain
overhead In the form of a vast blue
triangle, the point of which rests upon
the apex of the peak. At other times
the shadow of the earth can be seen
creeping up the cone in 4 distinct
curve, while the flush of sunset stains'
the snow above the line of shadow to
a deep pink
The Foot of a Horse.
The foot of a horse is one of the most
ingenious and unexampled pieces of
mechanism in animal structure. The
hoof contains a series of vertical and
thin laminae of horn, amounting to
a-bout 500 and forming a complete lin¬
ing to it. In this are fitted as many
laminae belonging to the coffin bone,
while bath sets are elastic and adher¬
ent. The edge of a quire of paper, in¬
serted leaf by leaf into another, will
convey a sufficient idea of the arrange¬
ment. Thus the weight of the animal
is supported by as many elastic springs
as there are laminae in all the feet,
amounting to about 4,000. distributed
in the most secure manner, since every
spring is acted on in an oblique direc¬
tion.
May and Marriage.
“Marry hi May and you'll rue the
day" is an ancient old world proverb.
The superstition dates right back to
ancient Rome, for the poet Ovid al¬
ludes to It in one of his books. It is
especially believed in Scotland, owing
no doubt to the fact that the ill fated
Mary, queen of Scots, married Earl
Bothwell in this month, and it is cer¬
tain that no more unfortunate wed¬
ding ever took place. It seems a pity
that this genial season of flowers and
sunshine should have such a black
reputation: but, as every one knows,
it is easier to get a bad name than to
lose it. “Marry In May and you’ll rue
the day” is likely to remain a popu¬
lar belief for a very long time to come.

Old Time Bathing.
What would mixed bathers In Eng¬
land think of Blackpool as it was a lit¬
tle over a century ago? When ladies
went to bathe, a bell was rung to an¬
nounce the fact, and any gentleman
discovered on the parade after it had
sounded was fined a bottle of wine.
When the ladies had been bathed and
completed their toilet, the bell was
rung a second time, and the gentlemen
had their turn.—London Chronicle.
