the jokers on the corner, carrying with him a
fresh outburst of laughter. The transfer crowd
is much increased by the arrival Of a large,
stout, portly old doetor-woman. How she rides
IN one of our Kindergarten" cars is a wonder.
she Is erect, her jovial, vigorous, rudy face is
turned toward heaven she walks, her tread
Is heavy and quick, and she has
something OF professional air and the swagger
of doctor. Her small, bright eyes see everything
she Is very 5ensible-lOoking, vital and strong,
and she is clad in au old plum-colored dress of
damask stuff brought from the old country, a
clean blue gingham apron and a clean shawl
Her portrait would be worth about thousand
dollars to hang in grand room or gallery.
The transfer car is continually boiling over and
foaming its passengers out upon the muddy
ground. Passengers are continually stringing
out across the mud, from other cars, towards It..
Drivers are hallooing as they round the corners
near the transfer, and are trying to whistle to
each other with their mouths full of tobacco,
and are holding up two or three finger to the
transfer car conductor, to show how
many passengers they have for him. The
Illinois car-drivers ought to be provided
with fish horns; their difficulties are great In
stopping the other cars
On rainy days the transfer car cannot hold
half it's patrons, who press against the lee side
OF the car trying to escape wetting and wait
there in deep melancholy and in much trepida-
ton lest their drivers go off and leave them
laundering and splashing after their cars In the
mud, a circumstance that often happens.
The transfer car is in its glory when great
show with Its attendant multitude is in town.
Then legion of people swarm about the trans
Ter car and jump upon passing oars without
paying any fares whatever. Quite uselessly on
such an occasion does the driver count the heads
of his fares and the nickels in the box. ''Put
your fares into the bax, there!" is an entirely
useless command of his. He therefore gives up
the fares and doggedly drives on without further
attention to what is transporting behind him.
His carload of people look perfectly innocent
those who have not paid their fares look rather
more innocent than those who have. We cannot
have transfer office in comfortable building,
and we cannot have car tickets, probably be-
cause we are In our "grizzle." MARY DEAN.

A Temperance Story.

In the Police Court this morning an
incident occurred which for years has
never had Il parallel in that place. An
old man. over seventy wears of age,
prosecuted his wife for drunkenness.
They have been married over thirty
seven wears. and until lately have lived
most happily together. For the past
few months, however, the woman has
been drinking. and has almost destroyed
the once happy home The old man
was placed on the stand, and with
quivering lips and tear-bedimmed eyes
told the wretcheG tale. ''She is a good
woman and love her. but want her to
stop drinking We have little adopt

to his wife, ..makes her life terrible. l

The Mother Spider.

A Hartford lady who was OUT IN the
woods in Massachusetts, few days ago
caught big spider bearing large
whitish ball filled with spIder-eggs. 1t
was female spider Ohey devour their
cood-for-nothing husbands, and thus
make them serve some good purpose),
and she fought for her ball OF eggs as
she would for her hatched-Out children.
These mother spiders fasten these I'M
wieldy balls to their bodies and carry
them around. If separated by accident
or force, they will seize and try to save
the impcriled packet of eggs and re-
fasten it to the body. Our CORE
spondent makes this quotation from
Wood Natural History
The Lycosid:e, or wolf spiders, are
all ground 1ivers, and take their prey
in fair chase instead of catching II i'll
nets. They are mostly found among
herbage, low bushes, fallen leaves and
similar localities; and if they should
happen to feel alarmed, they run for
safety under stones, MOSES, rocks ana
into any accidental crcvice in the earth.
The family includes an immense num-
Der of species, which are found in
almost every part of the world. The
female is extremely fond of her eggs
and young. She envclops her eggs in
silk, and forms them into globular
ball, which she always carries about
with her until the young are hatched.
When the time comes for the little
spiders to make their appearance in the
world, the mother tears open the en-
velope, and 50 aids her young to escape,
AS soon as they are fairly out of the
egg, they transfer themselves to the
body of their parent, where they cling
in such numbers that she Is hardly vlSl-
BILE under her swarming brood. They
remain with their mother through the
winter. and in the following spring the
Young dispcrse to seek their own living.
About June the female has made up
her little packet OF eggs, incloscd III
snow white silken envelope, and carries
this burden about wherever she goes.
Nothing will separate her from her
eggs If the packet is forcibly re-
moved, she remains on the spot. hunt
ing in every direction, and evidently
suffering great distress; and if the
white ball be laid near by, she soon

Mid Atlantic Telegraph stations.

hm!j.r<' JouynqI takes up the re-
cent bold plan of Mr.. w. c. Anderson
for founding ..deep sea lighthouses
rs a hopeful scheme. (which, if car
ried out, will fulfil want that has
long been acknowledged as a necessary
one.
Mr. AnderSon's plan, as recently ex-
planned TO the London Society of En-
%inccr>. Is to construct a hollow cylin-
der of riveted iron work 290 feet long,
TO consist of two scctions-the upper
part to be 40 feet long. destined to rear
its head above the waves and fitted As
'ln ordinary lighthouse, while the re-
'naining portion of the tube is to be
haiIaStcd SO as to sink below the water
line and counteract the force of winds
and waves on the exposed part. The
whole apparatus is to be anchored in
deep water by heavy steel cables. The
inventor claims that it would be easy to
tow such structure to the spot Sc
lc.tcd for it. and then by admitting wa
ter to the lower section it would AS
sumo an upright position and ride the
waves like a bottle. The English jour
nal referred to saws: Owing to Our
in~ular position we are dependent for
our storm warnings on our tran>atlan-
t. ncighborS; but if it becomes possi-
Ill" to found n floating telegraph sta
tion. say one tn puSand miles from our

discussed. but no engineer has yet de-
vi~"d. unless it lie Mr.. Anderson. any
structure which would remain station
