Ruined. by a Spider.

Spiders crawling more abundantly and conspicuously than usual upon the in- door walls of our houses foretell the near approach of rain, but the following anec- dote intimates that some of their habits are the equally certain indication of frost being at hand Quartermaster D1sjon- val, seeking to beguile the tedium of his prison hours at Utrecht, had studied attentively the habits of the spider, and eight years of imprisonment had given him leisure to be we'll versed in his ways. In December of 1794 the French army, on whose success his restoration to lib erty depended, was in Holland, and vic- tory seemed certain if the frost, then of unprecedented severity, continued. The Dutch envoys had failed to negotiate peace, and Holland was despairing, when the frost suddenly broke. Tke Dutch were now exulting, and the French gen erals prepared to retreat, but the spider forewarned Disjonval that the thaw would be of short duration, and he knew that this weather monitor never de- ceived. He contrived to communicate with the army of his countrymen and, its generals, who duly estimated his character, relied upon his assurance that within few days the waters would again be passable by troops. They de- layed their retreat; within twelve days the frost had returned, the French army triumphed. Disjonval was liberated, and spider had brought down ruin on the Dutch nation.

A Sensible Parrot.

Three weeks after the great fire in Chicago, in 1871, saw parrot that had saved itself from the general fate of all household treasures there. It had be- longed to my old friend, Mrs. Kirkland, and was doubly cherished by her daugh- ter. When it was evident that the house was doomed. and the red wall of flame, urged by the hurricane was sweeping to- ward it with terrific speed, Miss Kirk land saw that she could save nothing ex- cept what she instantly took in her hands. There were two objects equally dear the parrot and the old family Bible but she was unable to carry more than one of them. After single moment of choice she seized the Bible, and was hastening away, when the parrot cried out, in a loud and solemn voice, "Good Lord, de- liver usr' No human being, think, could have been deaf to such an appeal i; the precious Bible was sacrificed and the parrot saved. The bird really pos- sessed superior intelligence. I heard him say Yes and Mo-" in answer to questions, the latter being varied so as to admit alternately of both replies and the test of his knowledge was perfect. In the home where he founda refuge there were many evening visitors, one of whom, gentleman, was rather noted for his monopoly of his conversation. When the parrot first heard him, it lis tened in silence for some time then, to the amazement and perhaps, the confu- sion of all present, it said, emphatically, e You talk altogether too much r The gentleman, at first somewhat embar- rassed, presently resumed his interrupt ed discourse. Thereupon the parrot laid his head on one side, gave an 1nde scribably contemptuous Hmm P and added, There he goes again P If there ever was an oiseGu terrible it is the par rot his instinct for discovering ways and means of annoyance is something diabolical. .-..

Shoe Buckles.

At one time the credit of the Prince of Wales (afterward George W. was so low that the common mechanics would not trust him. At certain time, when the prince was preparing for meeting with the nobles of the kingdom, he went into bucklemaker's shop and asked him to trust him for a pair of buckles. The man refused.
 eff you do not trust me-" said the prince, "I will ruin you"
 But the man utterly refused him the buckles unless he would pay for them. The prince went away highly offended, and, to be revenged on the man, tied his shoes with strings, and met the company he had agreed to meet. ..t.
 As soon as the prince entered the house each one took notice of his shoe strings, and admired his new fashion. He told them strings were much easier to his feet than buckles, and much cheaper, and, if all would wear them, it would save millions to the kingdom every year. They at once adopted the fashion, which ruined the bucklemaker, as his business was done and his stock on hand "dead ]" property.

Home POliteness.

That man who is scrupulously polite and respectful to all women in public, but habitually saves coarse manners and vulgar language for his own wife and daughters is no gentleman He is only an imposter. The young man who olls his hair, puts sweet odors upon his pocket handkerchief, and bows with charming elegance to Miss Arabella Sprisgins and her lady friends, and goes home to sheer at his mother, disobey her wishes, and treat her with familiar discourtesy, is pinchbeck imitation only of gentleman. Genuine good manners and gentle breeding should be- gin at home. As 8 rule, the men in 8 community who are the most trusted are the best men at home When g. man opens his front gate, only to meet his wife's face at the door radiant with pleas ure, and hears the shout from the eager children, Papa is coming, it is safe, as rule, to lend that man money. He is honest, and will repay it if he can.

What GunpOwder Does.

A writer in the Journal of Science warns spectators on the population question that they must henceforth cease to regard war as one of their positive checks" Gunpowder contains on an average 75 per cent. of saltpetre or ni- trate of potash, equivalent to 1O.2 per cent. of combined or available nitrogen. Of this 1922 per cent, 9.98 per cent, or practically the whole, escapes in the form of free nitrogen, and is consequently rendered useless. Assuming the total production of gunpowder to be at, least 100, 100000 pounds annually, this is shown to mean the destruction in ad- vance of 500, 900, ,0OO pounds of bread a year. Every ounce of gunpowder used in war, celebrations, etc., means the ab- solute unrecoverable loss to the world of a certain quantity of food; diminishes the fertility of the earth, and makes the struggle for existence steadily more diff fcult. There is here furnished an addi- tional argument against Fourth of July combustion of gunpowder, and arbitra- tion advocates may also fairly cite it against war. A great war not only ex- tinguishes large numbers of useful lives, but does so at the cost of potential life. If people buried every year 500, ,OOO;0 pounds of bread Tn the earth they would be guilty of frightful prodigality but then the nitrogen would still be availa- ble for the future. When they burn 100, ,000, 900 pounds of gunpowder, how ever, they perform an infinitely more wasteful act, as they permanently di- minish the amount of food the earth is capable of yielding.

TO THE WIND.

Eternal minstrel! who through every land Harpest wild melodies from door to door, Thy lays heath palace caves are not more grand Than in the smoky chimneys of the poor. I fSaddest of harpers! of thy songs can none Back to the lip a vanished smile recall? No, there is not of all thy ditties one But wakes sigh, or bids tear to fall Thou singst of home to those that houseless
 rove, Past friends to those mankind despise and s. scorn,
 Thy songs tell trembling age it once could love, And bid unwilling youth feel it shaE mourn i; Thou sing'stof weed grown graves with messy
 stones, Which we in life's rough race have left
 behind
 But thou dost not neglect them, and thy tones 2. With kindred music wake the sleeping mind !; Thou singst of our own graves which thou
 shalt see
 Of endless change which leaves thee still the
 same,
 Of all we are not, and yet wished to be In brighter hours ere hearts and hopes grew tame.
 Pilgrim impalpable! thy viewless feet Through ages still must roam from cline to
 cline,
 But even thee at last bourne shall greet Thy head shall rest upon the tomb of Time.

Pioneer Journalism.

The editor of a newspaper just started in the wilds of Mcrtana says iu his sal utatory Sitting on nail keg, writing editorials on log by the light of pitch pine knots, with owls hooting, frogs singing, and the tender leek shedding it's fragrance around it; cutting stove wood with a meat-axe, and whiting spaces and quads with jack-kn1fe. Brethren, did you ever do this :? If not, what do you know about pioneer jour nalism?" Editor Holly, when he started his Mirror at Kilbourn City, Wis, occupied the only building within circuit. of ten miles. It was log cabin built for h1s office. A dense woods sur rounded him, and he often said that the wolves came down and "howled melod- iously at his office door, begging for papers and old composition" It was not safe to leave O roller anywhere within reach, and the wolves were so ravenously fond of the glue Gnd molas- ses that they would come in through the windowless openings and steal a roller out from under the editors head if need be. Have it they would, if it were to be had. Holly's experience here in the woods alone with one boy, from the time he commenced building his cabin to the time time when the railroad com pany commenced to build it's shops and the town, would make an interesting book. His experience is that of many publishers who have started papers in the wilderness to be ahead of some rival when the country began to develope.

Praise Your Wife.

Praise your wife, men For pity's sake give her little encouragement; it won't t hurt her. She made your home com fortable, your heart bright and shining, food agreeable. For pity's sake tell her you thank her, if nothing more. She don't expect it; it will make her eyes open wider than they have these ten years, but it will do her good, and you too. There are many women to-day thirsting for words of praise, the lan- guage of encouragement. Through sum- mer's heat, through win ter's toll, they have drudged uncomplainingly, and so accustomed have their fathers, brothers and husbands become to their monoton- ous labors that they look for and upon them as they do the daily rising of the sun and it's daily going down. Home every day may be made beautiful by an appreciation of it's holiness. You know, if you can take from your drawer clean shirt when you want it, that somebody's fingers have ached in the toll of making it fresh and agreeable, so smooth and lustrous.

Singular Death in a Prison.

The Coroner's jury, at Chicago, Ill.,, in the case of Gus Reed, a negro convict, who died recently under peculiar cir cumstances in the Penitentiary, render ed it's verdict to the effect that he died in the Solitary Department of the prison from pulmonary apoplexy, brought on by persistent yelling while gag was in his mouth that the gag was put in his mouth by Stephen Reed and Patrick Leasure, acting under the orders of their superior officers, and that the officials were justified in giving such orders be- cause of the unruly conduct of the de- ceased. The case attracted some atten- tion because of the alleged extreme cru city practiced on this man and other con- victs.

S- knew her not 1n those three years, but Mrs. Tollman was the recipi- ent of various hampers of city delicacies from her, and would acknowledge the same by letter.
 One'of these, dated three years after the beautiful Miss Cameron left s., after elaborately thanking that young lady for hamper of dainties, added ,
 Do you remember my nephew, John Furberp He left me the day after you did, and fretted more than little. But he took turn for good, heaven be thanked. He worked himself up, and to-day he writes me he has made friends with his father again, and is to be taken partner in a commercial house.

 She had folded the letter and was dress ing for the opera, when visitor was an nounced.
 "What a barbarous hour," she mur- -mured ,snot looking at the card. "In 8 few moments, Jane."
 She was robed in her heecy dress of white lace, over pale blue silk, had clasped diamonds on throat and wrists, and in the little ears, when as she took the opera cloak from the maids hands, she looked at the card
 "John Furber."
 A great heart throb sent the blood over her brow and neck ; then it faded, leav- ing only soft tint upon the fair cheeks, and in the dark eyes light of happiness harmonizing we'll with the smiling lips.
 She looked like some visitant from an- other world, in the radiance of her beau ty, as she came across the wide drawing room to the window where he stood.
 He had not heard her light step, but he turned when she was near, showing the stamp of his better life in his noble face.
 He held out his hand, looking earnest ly into her face, and seeing she only spoke happy truth as, taking it, she said:
 '' I am glad to see you.''
 "Leonie," he said, "you gave me hope, three years ago, that has borne me above temptation and suffering to position where am not ashamed to look any man in the face. Leone, you bade me- -...4..... s..- ~.. ... ..-.

 "And I obeyed you, my love, my dar- ling. have come for my reward, Leonie, loving you with all my heart, daring now to ask for your love in return"
 So, society had ripple of sensation in fashionable wedding, when John Fur Der married Miss Leonie Cameron.
 But only you and I, reader, know the romance of that summer in S., or how John Furber redeemed his man. hood for Leonie's sake.

A Bad Case of Usury.

The Virginia City (Nev) Enterprise says: We are told the particulars of a case of young man who is being eaten up by interest at about as lively rate as though he were being devoured by 8 devil fish. His case is reminder of the celebrated horse shoe nail problem. It appears that ill 1876 the young man, not then of age, was the keeper of restau- rant in this city. On one occasion he required some money, and lawyer boarding with him loaned him $50, the young man saying that, as interest on the sum, he would not charge the lawyer for his board until he paid him back his money. The lawyer said this was all right, and next day brought the boy 8 note, to be signed by him, in which in terest on the $50 was charged at the rate of $1. 40 per day, the lawyer saying that this was about the value of what he was eating each day. The boy objected strongly to signing the note, but was finally induced to put his name to the paper. The lawyer went on eating-the boy not finding it in his power to keep going and pay the $5O-till the restau- rant busted out. Finally the young man. who had gone to work in some res- taurant in town, was sued on the note by the lawyer, who obtained judgment with interest at the rate of $1. 40 per day The young mans wages, amounting to $115, were attached and gobbled, yet the note was far from being paid. Now the lawyer is going after his victim again, and the principal and interest yesterday amounted to just $725.5O, not saying anything about what the lawyer ate and the $116 he got by attaching the young mans wages.
