Turner. y%rjc. __ 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.” Local Paragraphs.

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 don Scraps. 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. —London Mail. 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.
