"A writer in Nature gives an &C.
count of large spider of a genus COM
mon in Polynesia, which produces a
very strong, thick web. The imported
Pacific Islanders often amuse them
selves on Sundays, when no work is in
progress on the plantations, by wander
ing about the bush armed with q frame
work OF cane in the shape of an elon-
gated cone, fastened to long stick.
This they twist around and around in
the spiders webs till it is coated some
tlmes half an inch thick with the Wis.
cous fabric. They then unite the fast
enlngs and draw out the strips of cane,
when the collected webs appear in the
form of an old-fashioned night-cap.
These curious caps are sometimes a
yard long, and of a yellow color, and at
That length, even when quite thick, will
not weigh an ounce.
If you wish to make an off-hand
estimate of the number of shingles re-
CURED for roof at one-quarter pitch,
multiply the ground surface of the
house in square feet by ten. Example,
a house 20x20 on the ground has 400
square feet, multiplied by 10, gives
1000 shingles; if it is one-half pitch,
add one-tenth more. For close esti-
mate it is better to obtain the square
feet of roof surface (after allowing four
inches on each side for lap of gables,
and ten inches on each cave for lap
over the molding), then multiply by
six, the product will give the number
of shingles laid five and one-half inches
to the weather. If sixteen-inch shin.
giles are to be used, laid five and one
half inches to the weather, divide the
square feet by nine and multiply the
product by eleven. 10 estimate lath,
allow fourteen pieces to the square
yard. In estimating allow twelve inches
for the base board, but include doors

though. Askt me to drink. Not any,

the idea, so | waltzed back and went
up and down before that s. loon for nigh
three hours. I'd found out Bill wasn't
dead an was bad medicine, but it
wouldn't do to let down. Purity soon l
saw man headin' for me. His face
had been patched up until it looked like
the closing out display of a retail dry
goods store. There was so little coun-
tenance exposed that l couldn't guess
what he was a-aimin' at, so l brought
my hand back of my collar and grabbed
my file.

was absolutely impossible that the news
should have reached her. There were
no telegraphs, we must remember, and
no railways in those days-not even
mall-carriers in those secluded districts.
When the story of the girls disap-
pearance was told over the country at
the end OF the next week, the people to
whom the dream had been repeated re-
called it. Nowadays the matter would
only serve as good material for the re-
porters, but the men of those DAYS still
believed that God took an oversight
even of their dreams. Might not this
be hint from him? The Rev. Charles
Wheeler, a Baptist Clergyman of Wash
ington, well known in Western
Pennsylvania and Virginia a genera
ton ago, and Ephraim Blaine, ESQ.,, a
magistrate, father of the present SEN
ator from Maine, and as popular man
IN his narrower circle, drove over to
see the woman who had told the dream.
Without stating their purpose, they
took her and her husband, on pretense
OF business, to the Piymire farm. 1t
was the first time in her life that she
had left her own county, and she was
greatly amused and interested. Thew
drove over the whole of the road down
which Rachel Plymire had gone.
Z" Have you ever seen this neighbor-
hoodP" one of them asked.
" Never" she replied.
That ended the matter, and they
turned back, taking little-used cross
road to. save time. Presently the
woman started up in great agitation,
crying, "This is the place l dreamed
OFF, They assured her that Rachel
Plymire had not been upon that road at
all. 81 know nothing about her."
she said, "but that girl l saw
in my dream came along here;
there is the path through which
the man came, and beyond that
turning you will find the log on which
he killed her." They did find the log,
and on the ground the stains of blood.
The woman, walking swiftly, led them
to the old mill and to the board under
which lay the stained clothes and the
Ratchet. The girls body was found
afterward, buried by creek near at
hand. Rachel lover had already been
arrested on suspicion. 1t was limited
that he had grown tired of the girl, and
Tor many reasons found her hard to
shake off. The woman recognized him
in crowd of other men, and startled
her companions still more by pointing
out another young fellow from the West
as his companion in her dream. The
young man was tried in the town of
Washington for murder The dreamer
was brought into court, and an effort
! was actually made to mt her on the
witness-stand; but even then men could
not be hung on the evidence of dream.
Without it there was not enough proof
for conviction; and the jury unwillingly
enough, we may be sure, allowed the
prisoner to escape. 1t was held as pos
tive proof of his guilt that he immedi-
ately married the sister of the other ac-
cused man and removed to Ohio, then
the wilderness of the West.-Lippin-
colts Magazine.

Death Of the One Man Who Could Readi-
ly Decipher Horace Greeley's
ChirOgraphy.

Mr.. John G. Robinson, known as the
Lightning Proof Reader, was found
dead in bed at his residence in Williams
burg yesterday morning Mr.. Robin
son was born in this city forty years
ago. He attended school in the Seventh
Ward, and entered John A. Gray's
printing establishment in Cliff street as
a copy-boy'' when thirteen years old.
In 1854 he entered the Tribune proof
room. In deciphering manuscripts he
was marvel. He read Richard Hill
dreth's, Horace Greeley's, Count Pu-
laski's, Gerrit Smiths, and other
grabbed manuscripts almost at glance.
When Mr.. Greeley himself was unable
fences, he referred it to Mr.. Robinson,
who looked at it steadily for minute
or more, and made out its meaning. In
the municipal canvass of 1866 a letter
from Mr.. Greeley, written under the
Spingler House heading, was sent to the
night editor of the Tribune. 1t in
closed an editorial article in the same
handwriting, favoring the election of
well-known Republican politician, who
was running on an independent ticket.
1t was the night before election. The
article was put in type. In asserting
the copy before reading the proof the
manuscript fell under the eyes of Mr..
Robinson. Something about it at
tracted his attention. He examined it
as q paying teller would examine a
doubtful bill. "That's not the old
mans handwriting" he said. He was
so confident that it was forgery that
he called the editors attention to it,
and the article was suppressed. So
skillful was the forgery that on the
following day Mr.. Greeley said that
had he not known different, he would
have taken it to be his own handwrit-
ing.
Mr.. Robinson's rapidity in reading
proof-sheet aloud was unparalleled,
and his enunciation was perfect.
Timed by the writer, he has pronounced
696 words in a minute. This is at the
rate of 4l,760 per hour. The words
were pronounced in a monotonous tone
OF voice without accent, and came
from his lips as though sent from the
wheels of machine. Long before the
death of Mr.. Greeley, Mr.. Robinson
was given charge of the Tribune proof
room. He left that journal in 1875,
and accepted similar position on the
Sun.-N. Y San.

DISAPPOINTED HOPE.

She was waiting at the lattice,
Where the snowy-plumed clematis
Translated for her gratis
What the breezes sung and sighed:
And the dainty tendernesses
OF the sunbeams on her tresses
Left her traced in the caresses
OF the golden morning tide.
The linnets were cooing,.
And the dapper bees a-wooing,
And the dews were interviewing
All the tlower-covered fays;
While lightly from the dingle,
The zephyr, lone and single,
Came up to intermingle
In the leaf-entangled maze.
She waits another coming,
Her heart its riches summing,
Till suddenly a drumming
From the gravel walk arose,
A hope triumphant filled her,
And clear the words that thrilled her:
Look here, you, Jane Matilder-
Come and knuckle them ar clothesw

GEoRGIA's VOTE NOT CAST.

ATLANTA, Dec, 1.-The electoral vote
of Georgia is probably lost to Hancock
and English, for the following reasons !;
The Revised Statutes ofthe United States
nroyide, in section 1s5, that the electoral
Colleges of the several States shall
meet ON the first Wednesday in Decem-
her and cast .he vote. The Georgia
code, section 1872, provides that the
Governor shall notify the electors to
meet at the Capital on the first Monday
in December, to be ready on the Wed
nesday following to cast their vote, ;
This the Governor has done, but the
sleotors have not met to-day or voted,
and IT is thought by leading officials and
LAWYERS here that they have no right TO
meet and vote uext Wednesday.
