Shared by a Spider.

A St. Louis paper tells an amusing
incident that occurred in a church
OF that city q couple of Sun
days ago. A gentleman was
the owner of very unique
pin in the shape OF a black spider,
the body cfwhich is large amethyst.
This ornament was presented to a
20 pg lady friend, and she wore it on
her dress to service. 1t so happened,
and unfortunately that a young
gentleman near her perceived the
lifelike ornament on the young LADY,
dress, and to all appearances crawl
ing up to her face. A look of terror
overspread his features, and without
any hesitation be endesvored to brush
off what to him appeared q tsrantula.
He missed it and brushed at it again,
when the almost audible smiles of a
few who witnessed the gentleman q
heroic endeavors attracted the young
lady's attention. He became very
red in the face when be discovered
his mistake, and it will be long time
before he attends that church again.

The Ne W York Woman oil
Fashion.

"To succeed" is an American
gospel. It would have been impos
sible, ungratetul, unflial, for girls
reared in such an atmosphere as
this Of commercial New York to be
otherwise than worldly, devoted tc
dress and amusement. That they
have sometimes gone too far is moi
half so much to be wondered at as
that they have stopped at all, con.
sidering their environment, And
yet at this moment, when from press
and pulpit resounds the denuncia.
ton Of the New York woman OF
fashion, I beg to speak a humble
word in her praise. I know not
what angel has guarded her, but she
is, l think, one of the best creatures
In the world. She is pure, good,
loving, an excellent wife and
mother, and the most devoted to
good works of any woman in the
world. Such is my sincere convic-
ton. The New York fashionable
woman has energy, industry and
forethought. She is not behind tie
men in her business capacity. She
looketh well to the ways of her
household,and she is thepatroness of
many charities in which she works
hard. She does mo end' of good
every day of her life. If by your
Struts shall ye know, ,them," look
at her rosy daughters. There was
never in any town set of more
pure, beautiful, good, young girls
than at present inhabit New York.

Honor is like the eye, which can,
not suffer the least impurity without

price of which is lessened by the least

Honor hath three things in 1.-THE
vantage ground to do good, the APP
proach to kings and principal per-
sons, and the raising OF a mans for

The Athenians erected large

AN EXPENSIVE FLIRTATIoN.-There were plenty of seats in the Car, but as he walk ed down the aisle he looked sharply to the right and left until he reached pretty girl who was sitting alone.
 ''Seat engaged, Miss9 ?" he asked, with a knowing wink.
 ''N-no,' stammered the girl, looking around in dismay.
 Down he pumped and braced himself for the campaign. He wss regular pas senger, and held his communication ticket in his hand

 The regular passenger smiled sweetly at the pretty girl, and put up his paste board, out which two sides were promptly nipped. .@SsFs 't% ''

Kate had been pretty as girl-as woman, set off by the accessories of wealth, she was royalty beautiful. Nor was she devoid of feeling.

THE RACCOON.

The raccoon is described as 2 nocturnal animal. while in truth all hours of the day or night are pretty much the same to 1t. Its shrewdness, however, leads 1t to seek the cover of darkness, while exprriencs has taught that fishing is attended with better results when practiced ln the shad- owy and uncertain light of the moon. l have observed it at different hours during the day skulking along the margias of streams, hunting for frogs and turtles or stalking the wild duck and her brood and even feeding in the maize fields. In one instance the writer caught coon invad- ing cautiously the weH-stocked poultry yard at high noon.
 Where only high and dry woodlands or broad expanses of prairie prevail, the rac- coon Is seldom encountered, save as ram- bier. Low, moist grounds, with lofty trees, are preferred, like the well-wooded swamps and lagoons of the south while to the northward, forest slopes, bordering lakes and ponds, or travers. d by brooks and riyulet, are selected The pur ly ever green forests of the north rarely shelter It since nuts, acorns, and other mast are an important factor in the problem of life at certain seasons of the year. Hence its presence therein must be held as accident al. But wherever the coon is established, it wanders over wide stretches of territory in summer, often miles away from its home, absenting itself for days and even weeks, especially during the wooing season. It Is during such excursions that 1t Is me. with in the open prairie, being led thereto, presumably, in search of grouse, plover, and other feathered creatures and thei nests, along with mice, hares and gophers.

But even in his most ex- trvme northern habitat, the habit is by nc means general or constant, as with tn bear, but appears rather assumed, to cor respond with unfinished food supply. l. northern Michigan have found them rae ing over the snow on bright midsummel days, while with the advent of extreme cold or stormy weather, 1t retired agSin t. its peculiar sleep in the recesses of its lair.

list. Our system of selling ev- erything to furnish house complete, and re- ceiving our pay in weekly or monthly install ments is mutually advantageous to the public and ourselves.
 2d. It does not enhance the price of goods like the old, irresponsible cred it system, where the honest man had to pay enough to make good the loss on the dishon- est. We make no losses and can afford to sell our goods at the lowest cash price, charg- ing only a small percentage after 30 days.
 Sd. 1t enables one to furnish a house comfortably or even richly and pay by degrees, thus not feeling it in the least, when it would be utterly impossible to pay all at one time.
 4th. By this system our sales are largely increased, and we can afford to give our customers better and larger assort- ment to select from, besides as our sales in crease our ratio of expenses decrease.
 9th. We never proceed to take our security from person who is sick, out of employment or temporarily embarrassed, but only from those who request us to do so, or who manifestly try to defraud US. Purchasers can rely upon being more leniently dealt with than by any saving institution in the state.
 In fact, we on our part offer the largest as- sortment at lowest prices, and give liberal time for payment. By this means we encour- age all to save their money, in the purchase of substantial comforts. It encourages thrift, economy, ambition and sobriety.
 Not single street in this city, or village or hamlet around the city, but has many in- stances of the benefits to be derived from our stallment plan
 No matter what others practice, the above is our method, and we court investigation upon the part of any one interested.

HE NEWSPAPER IN THE CARs.-Some- times man throws his newspaper down on the seat, and leaves the car. Each man that has no paper wants 1t, and each man
 would grab 1t if alone and unobservsd.
 The man who appears to be looking out of window in the opposite direction is the man who sees that paper more distinctly than any one else. And he, being the man
 who seems least interested in 1t, is really the man who wants it more. As soon as that paper is thrown down it becomes an object of interest. The man who never buys or reads paper wants it, and wants 1t badly. The man sitting next to it looks straight ahead, and doesn't seem to know anything about it. But he is just culver ing with excitement. He is wrought up to the highest pitch, and is prepared to grab for that paper just as soon as the man on the other side of it makes single at tempt. Just at this period 8 man sitting opposite the paper gives it sharp excited look, as though he has seen his name printed wrong. Then he gives another sharper look, and his eyes snap with ex- citement, and he reaches over and picks the paper up to see if he is right. You can tell by the way he handles it that he never paid for it and he gradually gets it up In front of his face, and turns it at in tervals, and is as much at home with it as though 1t is his own. And the other men look at him sourly, and silently condemn nm as being largely poreine in his nature.
