The Spiders Bridge.

One chilly day 1 was left at home alone
and after was tired of reading Robinson
Crusoe caught spider and brought him
into the house to play with. Funny kind of
playmate, wasn't it? Well, l took wash
basin and fastened up stick in it like a
liberty pole or a vessels mast, and then
poured in water enough to turn the mast
into an island for my spider, whom l named
Crusoe, and put on the mast. As soon as
he was fairly cast away he anxiouly COM
the main land. He'd scamper down the
mast to the water, stick ont foot get. it
wet, shake it, run back up to the top again.
Pretty soon it became serious matter
with Mr.. Robinson, and lie sat down to
Think it over. AS in a moment he acted
as if he wanted to shout for boat, and
was afraid he was going to be hungry, /
put little molasses on the stick. A fly
came, but Crusoe wasn't hungry for flies
Just then. He was homesick for his web
in the woodshed. He went slowly down
the pole to the water and touched it all
around, shaking his foot like pussy when
she vets her, stocking on the grass, and
suddenly thought appeared to strike him.
Up he went like rocket to the top and
and commenced playing circus. He held
one foot in the air, then another, and turn
ed round two or three times. He got ex-
cited and nearly stood on his head, before
l found what he knew, and that was this,
that the draught of air made by the fire
would carry q line ashore on which he
could escape from his desert island. He
pushed out web that went floating in the
air until it caught in the table. Then he
hauled in the rope until it was tight, struck
it several times TO see if it was tight enough
to hold him, and walked ashore. thought
he had earned ms liberty, so put him
back in his wood-shed again. ufi .t.f s,. o..

A Safe Explosive.

The Hoosac Tunnel contractors have
at length discovered an explosive, the
handling of which will not cause in
slant death to miners. An idea of its
safety, compared with similar agents
that have hitherto been used with such
fatal consequences, may DE formed
from the fact that it requires three
revolutions of an electrical machine to
discharge it, whereas most of the others
could be discharged with half a revo-
luton. Since the boring of this tunnel
was commenced, many lives have been
lost through a failure to procure an
explosive that might be carried from
place to place without being cause of
continual apprehension to the men
employing it. No matter how great
and useful an undertaking may be, it
is always unpleasant to be reminded
that il has been accomplished at the
expense of much human life. The
assurance that the remainder of the
work of the Hoosac Tunnel is likely to
he done without further sacrifices is,
therefore, encouraging.

The Tomb of Tantalus.

The following interesting article is
taken from the AthenGunl of q recent
datet Among the famous sights of
Rmyrna which are seldom seen by cas-
ual visitors are, the Tomb of Tantalus,
on the opposite side of the bay. and the
Lake of Tantalus, in the chain OF Siby-
lus. According to the classic histo-
rians, besides the rock cut image of Cy-
belle, there was once here a city of Tan
talus, which was destroyed by an
earthquake. Since the eruption of We
suvius the lakes have been sensibly af-
fected. This lake, the crater of a vol
cano supposed to be extinct, and amid
volcanic formations, is reputed to be
fathomless, although an English naval
officer settled that point many years
ago. At this time of the year it is a
place for picDics from the summer
town of Bournabut but now sight seers
aud tourists are proceeding tkither be-
cause the two peaksIabove the lakes are
visibly sinking. Not only this, but
two assures have opened, from one of
which warm water flows, and in the
other ruins are to be recognized of a
fine city. Such is the local report We
have received. On the other side of
the city of Smyrna are the volcano
peaks of the Two Brothers, and it is
much to be feared, after the late DIS
turbances of the district, that some
fearful earthquake again awaits the
city.

The London Ecosaon,ist contains
very careful editorial on The Aemer-
lean Cotton Crop, of 1671-72,r which,
it will be remembered, was ,377 1855
bales short of the crop of the previous
year. After comparing the yield of
cotton in recent years with that of the
same staple before the war, and re-
marking that though America does
not hold the same relative place that it
then did in supplying the markets O
world with cotton, its place is still far
the most important and affects the
Economist proceeds: bar ~
I" But the effect of the market is not
manifested exactly in the old way.
This effect now appears to be traceable
to the unusual magnitude of the
fluctuations which are observable in
the crop. The difference between 1870
II and 1S71-72, as we have seen, was
1875, 900 bales, and there was differ
ence of l, 19S, 900 bales between 1901
and the previous year. To all appear
ance such large fluctuations Were I'M
know before the war. The highest we
notice was in lS60-61, when the crop
was !, Ol3, 900 bales short of the highest
recorded crop of 1853, TO bales in the
previous year, and previous to that the
maximum variation was about zoe, 900
bales. The consequence is that though
the average crop may now be relative
ly rather smaller than before in rela-
ton to the total supply, yet the limit
of variation is wider, and permits OF
changes which are quite as great in re-
lation to the supply as were the smaller
changes in the crop when there was
practically no other supply but Ameri-
can. If this extreme variability should
be permanent, in consequence of some
popularity in the conditions of free Ia
Dor, it will have a most disturbing eff

deal of anxiety must be felt by all in

Moonlight Reflections.

When standing by lake side in the
moonlight, you see, stretching over the
rippled surface toward the moon, bar of
light which, has shown by its nearer part,
consists of flashes from the sides of sep
arate wavele:s. You walk, and the bar
of light seems to go with you. There are,
even among cultivated people, many who
suppose that this bar of light has an OBJ
jective existence, and who believe that it
really moves as the observer moves-oc-
casionally, indeed, as l can testify, ex-
pressing surprise at the fact But, apart
from the observer, there exists no such
bar of light; nor when the observer moves
is there any movements of this glittering
line of wavelets. All over the dark part
of the surface the undurlations are Just as
bright with moonlight as those he sees
but the light reflected from them does not
reach his eyes. Thus, though there seems
to be a lighting of some wavelets and not
of the rest, and though, as the observer
moves, other wavelets seem to become
lighted that were not lighted before, yet
both these are utturly false seemings. The
simple fact is that his position in relation
to certain wavelets brings into view their
reflections of the moons light, while
it keeps out of view the like reflections
from all other wavelets.- Herbert Spencer.

How Trees are Killed by Lightning

All who have examined tree which
has been destroyed by thunderbolt."
will have noticed not only how the layars
of the wood have been shattered and sep
arated into strips, as if full of wind
shakes" but also the dryness. hardness,
and brittleness of the wood, as though it
had been through the process of curing in
a kiln. This is attributed to the instantan-
eous reduction of the sap-the moisture
within the woodAinto steam. When this
moisture is abundant, as in May or early
June. the amount and force of the steam
only bursts and separates the layers and
fibres, but rends the trunk in pieces or
throws off portion of il, down. line of
greatest power or of least resistance. And
when the amount of steam thus suddenly
generated is less, owing to the drier con-
dition of the steam from continual evapor-
alton and leaf eXhalation, there may be
no external trace of the lightning stroke !,
yet the leaves will wither in few days,
showing that the steam has been rendered
incapable of conveying supplies, and the
tree will neither partially or entirely die

HYGIENE Pie-Crusts.

A long trial proves the thorough adapta-
bility of oatmeal for that purpose. Take
No. | meal if possible, wet with half its
measure of hot water 1t can be easily
rolled thin enough; it will swell but little
in baking. II is not so white as those
pie-crusts made of white -four, and to the
unaccustomed eye not SO attractive, though
that is matter of taste. To my notion
they are far preferable, even in appearance
to the crusts soaked in hog S lard which
here in the city have earned themselves
the suggestive soubriquet of =" scab," and
they are certainly far more wholesome
than any shortened pie crusts whatever.
To avoid unaccustomed appearance, how
ever, tart pies, and fruit and berry pies of
many kinds can be made without an upper
crust, or the upper crust can be removed
after baking. Blackberry. raspberry, plump
peach, grape, and many other kinds of
pies can be made in this way. The crust
bakes very quickly, so that any kind of
fruit that requires much cooking should be
cooked before it is put in. 1t also makes
very pretty ornaments, cut in various
shapes, with cake cutters, and laid upon
the surface of tart pies is agreeable to the
taste, and very few persons would notice
tie difference when made without an upper
crust. As people come to recognize its
wholesomeness they will probably be brave
enough to eat ii openly.-,Science of

PARADISE IN IMMATURE.
Benenceut E2ects Of woman Suffrage
In Wyoming.


. Laramie Letter to the New York Post.l
Laramie City is one of the most in
viting in its appearance of all the new
cities we have seen since leaving
Omaha, and the people are OF an ex-
cellent class. One feels at home as
soon as he gets here, and no longer
feels it SO great a wonder that people
are "content to live away out here
among the Rocky Mountains" The
fact is, since the opening of the Paci-
fic Railroad, this and other places
along its line, once so far away, are
now comparatively near even to the
dweller on the Atlantic coast. There
is one thing which, perhaps, explains
the admirable condition of society in
Laramie City. Women vote in Wyom.
ing Territory, and hold office, They
vote at the same time and places as
the men; and we are told that there is
no. commotion or confusion at the
polls. On the contrary, the highest
respect is shown by the men to the
women voters, and we are assured
that if any one should offer the slight
est disrespect or insult to a woman at
the polls, he would be summarily
dealt with on the spot. Women act
as jurors, and one gentleman who was
instrumental in bringing about this
state of things gave us an interesting
account of the moral influence which
women jurors have exerted over the
sterner sex. 1t appears that the
women, unmindful of their high duties
and solemn responsibilities, endeavOr-
ed to prepare themselves for the work
of each day by humbly seeking Divine
assistance, by prayer-a service which
it was understood was not especially
observed by the men. The result is,
however, that in a short time all the
Jurors began the duties of the day by
joining in the religious services of the
morning. Our informant also told us
that Western man never brings for
ward the argument that the voting by
women is going to occasion discord
and unhappiness in the family. He
would be ashamed to thereby admit
that he was unwilling to have his wife
hold opinions, lest they might differ
from his own; and a Western man
never brings forward the argument or
statement that it is no place for women
at the polls, because of the vileness of
the place or of the persons there as
sembled, for he would De ashamed
to thereby admit that he or
the masses of his sex are so low that
they are not fit to meet women in
public. And so the woman question
seems to be nearly settled for the pre-
sent in Wyoming. at least in Laramie
City. / ought to add that one happy
result of the prominent place which
has been accorded to women in Lara
mic has been to entirely rid the place
of drinking saloons, women of ques-
tionabIe character, blacklegs, and the
for the prison and the halter.
