\ HOUSE Full OF SPIpERs.-The
queerest companions for man are those
of an old man in New Orleans. He has
a mania for spiders and in his rooms are
more than 500 of every shape and color.
The ceilings are hidden by the webs that
the spiders have spun. Occasionally the
old man throws handful of flies into
the webs, and is greatly delighted at
seeing the spiders seize their struggling
victims

THE following verses were recently
written by Transvaal Boer to stimulate
his countrymen In their contests against
the English forces. They are now sung
before going into action. The authors
name 10 unknown. This translation was
made from . copy In Dutch OF the song
that has Just been received from the
Transvaal.
When came Kleinfontein's bloody day
In all the fury Of the fray
There was one thought that ruled us all.
And that Was this-"The foe must fAllP'
For all men dearly loved their land.
Not one but scorned the tyrant's hand.
And 90 our song must ever bc,
"we will DO free.
And on our side the right shall be-"
To yield our freedom 10 no task.
Il II no wonder that We ask
Only that rights to Us belong.
Only that tyranny 10 wrong,
Can we not keep our sad. sore landf
Yes. yes, We will forever be-
We will be free,
And on our side the right shall be.
This In our own. our darling land.
A fathers wise aud careful hand
Made these dear plains pleasant home,
To which the invader now has come.
But still We hold our precious land.
And all our weak but fearless band
Cry, "Yes. Ii must be-forever be.
We will be free,
And ON our side the right shall be. T"
The trembling fields our fathers sowed
With tears; their crimson blood that
flowed,
Their heavy sishs that move us still.
Shall steel anew our souls until
We clasp each other hand in hand.
And cry. Forever frees our land.
We will be free,
And ON our side the right shall te."
The emblem that our fathers gave.
The tree Of freemen. not OF slave,
Shall never kiss . conquered earth.
Twill grow and bloom DER our hearth.
Its roots will make mighty band
To clasp together all our land.
And then our song will ever be,
"we will be free. =.
And on our side the right shall be-"
A little while We may be chained,
But hard Lost fights may be regained.
The land that smiles may melt in tears.
And tells Natal the tale Of years.
But shall We never understand
The Ore that Ssndlawana fsnnedl
II meant. I'VE will forever be-
We will be free, :,
And on our aide the right shall be. u

TRAINING scHnm FOR NfIRsFs.

To the Public: After the generous and cordial
response that has been made by the public to
their appeal for pecuniary aid In establishing
the Illinois Tranine-SchooI for Nurses" the
Board Of Directors feel 1t to be their duty to
state publicly and officially how Tar the enter
prise has been developed, and what remains to
be done to insure its success.
When the project was first discussed and the
initiatory steps taken, the BourG felt 1t must
begin in a very humble way, and work and wait
patiently until i public opinion should be
formed by small SUCCESS that would justify them
in undertaking something larger. Bur that
public opinion is already formed, and the enter
prise has met with go mich encouragement and
success that the Directors feel they may safely
establish it III once un ii more permanent basis
and III n more Independent manner than was ut
first contemplated. So, although $4.0oD hate
been already contributed, thej- propose to con-
tinue tn solicit until I'LL shall have had the cp-
portunity OF helping tn establish an institution
that is to benefit A.. Six thousand dollars more
would place the school in Il home Of Its own and
tend TO make it. in process Of time. Que OF the
leading institutions OF the Northwest.
In conclusion, the Dnard of Directors tnkc
pleasure in announcing thut the Superin-
tendcnt and two head nurses have been en-
gagged. and that the school will be opened on or
abt,ut the lst of May.
Eighteen applications for admission as punt
nurses hnvG been already received. and every
thing bids fair for m nuspicious commencement

THE DROUGHT IN TURKEY.

There was IN Turkey, years ago,
A fearful drought Ms all must KNOW
The Turks to Allah prayed Tor ruin,
On hands and knees, but oil IN saIa-
OF weather-prophets quite Il score
Were strangled-srilI it wouldn't pour.
At last the Turks met III despair.
When one arOSe-thC NiScSl there-
And said: :. We need more help. we DO;
Let's start the Jews a-pruying, roo!'
No sooner said than done. That day
Each jew wus ordered out to pray,
On penalty uf 1enth, for rain:
Bat, like the Turks, they prayed in vain
The sun grew hotter. and the ground
The thirsty Turks. despairing more,
Assembled as they had before.
- II this keeps on" the WISE man SAID,
" In my opinion, We'll be dead.
hut there's another curd to play:
Make ull the dogs Of Christians pray
At once each Christian was at work
A-praying, guarded By Turk
Who an tho Prnphtt'S beard had sworn
To kill cnch dog Of them BY mora
Unless it raiued. ST. iii TINT night
The Christians prayed with main and might
The morning broke, and, 10! the rain
Came down iu Hoods, nor would it delgu
To ceusc Till alt the Turks around
Begged it to stop, lest they'd be drowned
. When it had cleared the Turks came out,
Forgetting there had been drought,
Ard u,;lts that Christian dogs could pray
and get all answer right away.
"Our Allah loves us uot!" they cried
ut isn't su," the suge replied:
~ He loves to hear his faithful pray
So much, he kept the rain away.
But, when the Christian dogs knelt dowu,
Great Allah's face assumed fro"n;
10 listen TO them he wouldn't dciEn.
And so, to shut them up-sent ruin"
