WE FEEL no especial interest in Mr. kel-
logg, but the reason for Withholding his certlil-
cate OF election on the part Of the governor Of
Louisiana is simply untenable and the act
may be classed among the ''so-called south
ern outrages." Mr.. Kellogg was elected by
several thousand votes, this is not disputed,
but it is set up that there is some technically
of the law defining citizenship in Louisiana
which Kellogg has not complied with. If
such contests are to be decided by state
governor, then there is no use in the require
ment that each house of congress shall be
the Judge of the qualifications of its members.
1t is an assumption of the authority that con-
gress alone possesses.

"will you walk into my parlor 2" said
the spider to the fly; but the Rev. DR..
McCook asked the spider to walk into his
library, and there make itself at home. His
idea in this was TO captiyate the spider so
as to use it for the benefit Of science.
When the Record reporter stepped into
the pastors study a move, sight met
his eye. The rear end OF the apartment
was occupied by 4 long table covered with
sticks and bottles, and reaching from floor TO
ceiling was a network Of webs OF the finest
texture, with lines crossing and recross-
ing. II was an odd sight to view the study
OF a prominent minister furnished in be
coming style, yet with the walls and cell
ingS, everything in fact, containing spiders
and their webs. The reverend gentleman
was a. enthusiastic over his pets as the
horseman is over his fleet and fincly-formed
animals. "Now." said the pastor, it is
my intention TO write book. which will
soon he published. and therefore | desired
to learn something Of the cocoon life Of
young spiders, and also something relative
10 their movements and actions Immediate
" after they leave the cOcoons. Spiders are
not at all sOciable in their habits or man
svarms as do ants. bees, or some other
insects. They only come together
when drawn by some accident TO the
food supply. An interesting feature is that
all the actions Of the spider are instructive.
Within an hour after one has been born it
begins to spin cobweb OF the regulation
pattern. and with as much eXactneSs as an
adult. For q time the young make no at
o, t,1
their webs are completed. 1t i astOnish-
ing with what rapidity the silken strands
are attached to every object in the room.
You can print for me, too" said the
Doctor, ''that the person who kills spider
deserves the Seyerest sort Of condemnation.
Spiders are a benefit to mankind. They
harm no One.'
"But they sting badly" interposed the
reporter.
"Well, sometimes they raise the flesh q
little, but they do no great HARM" imme-
distely spoke up the champion Of the in
sects. q have seen As many as fifty or q
hundred flies in one web. and a couple Of
hundred mosquitoes. That is the way
they keep us from annoyance"
an you Kill spider, ii is said. it will
rsin," said the reporter, recalling q boyish
notion.
The minister laughed, and said there
were dozen superstitions concerning the
insects. One Of the most prominent was
that il you brushed of from your clothes
spider known as the money-Spider YOU
would lore some money.
The reporter agreed to allow sill such
spiders the fullest liberties, and left Mr..
HcCoOk alone with his pets.-PhiIadelPhia
