THE LAST GLADIToRIAL CONTEST IN THE
COLISEUM. 404 Honorious was Emperor.
At that time, in the remote deserts of Lyb-
la, there dwelt an obscure monk named
Telemachus. He had heard of these wild
scenes in the far-off Coliseum at Rome.
Depend upon it, they lost nothing by their
transit across the Mediterranean in the
hands of Greek and Roman sailors In the
baths and market-places of Alexandria, in
the Jewries of Cyrene, in the mouth of ev-
cry itinerant Eastern story teller, the fes-
tive massacres of the Coliseum would doubt
less be clothed in colors truly appalling, yet
scarcely more appalling than the truth
Telemachus brooded over these horrors I'M
til his mission dawned upon him. He was
ordained by heaven to put an end to the
slaughter of human beings in tie Coliseum
He made his way to Rome. He entered
the Coliseum with the throng, at the time
the gladiators were parading in front of the
Emperor with uplifUed swords and the wild
mockery of homage, '1Horitawi tie salutant >
Elbowing his way to the barrier, he leape
over at the very moment when the combat
ants rushed at each other, threw himself
between them, bidding them, in the name
of Christ to desist. To the blank astonish-
men succeeded imperial contempt and pop
ular fury. Telemachus fell slain by the
swords of the gladiators. Legend may
adorn the tale and fancy fill out the picture,
but the solid fact remains-there never was
another gladiatorial fight in the Coliseum.
One heroic soul mad caught the flow of pop
ular feeling that had already begun to set
in the direction ofhumanity, and turned it.
He had embodied by his act and consecrat-
ed by his death the sentiment that already
lay timidly in the hearts of thousands in
that great city of Rome.

ALYRIC FOR CRITICS.

In speaking of persons faults,
Pray don't forget your own;
Remember those with houses of glass
Should never throw a stone.
five have nothing else to do
But talk of those who sin,
IT'S better we should look at home,
And from that point begin.
We have no right to judge man
Until he's fairly tried;
Should we not like his company,
We know the world is wide;
Some may have faults-and who has not
The old as well as young,
Perhaps, for aught we know,
Have fifty to thy one.
I'll tell you of a better plan,
find It works quite well,
To try my own defects to cure,
Before of others tell.
And though 1 sometimes hope to be
No worse than some know,
My own shortcomings bid me let
The faults of others go.
Then let us all, when we commence
To SANDER friend or foe,
Think of the harm one word may do.
To those we little know;
Remember that curses sometimes.
Like our chickens, "roost at home;''
Don't speak of another's faults until
We have none of our own.

ON SPECTATOR AND GENERAL ADVERTISER
A MOTHERS LOVE.
A PRACTICAL ILLUSTRATION OF ITS POWER,

A Mothers Love What potent thing
it is ! 1t will melt the heart of the most
hardened criminal when no other influence
would be effectual. No one but mother
knows it's full meaning, but every one Can
appreciate it if they will. 1t is known,
| though, that it means sleepless nights care,
inconvenience, and, if necessary. want,
hardship, and death. But the subject has
been too eloquently treated by the sweetest
poets and the ablest writer's to furnish al
essay for these columns. Too many practi-
cal illustrations occur in everyday life for
| it to be dwelt upon, so that it is unnecessa-
ry to speak of the subject further in order
to make the reader understand the full
meaning of what is to follow.
Mrs. Henry Schualen, of Ashland, Ky,
writes that her daughter has,been cured of
deafness which resulted from chronic Ca
tarrh She tells how she had lost all hope
of her daughter Cher ideaD being cured, and
how overjoyed she is at the result. After
trying many remedies she says Peruna
brought cure and that the doughter's
hearing is restored. She concludes by
speaking in the most fattering terms OF
Peruna, and then describes in the most
lovely manner the happiness it has brought
her, and reviews the distress she expert
enced while her daughter was afflicted.

Spider Life Wonders.

Boston Adrertiser: The lecture of last
evening in the Lowell Institute course by
Prof Wood dealt with the phenomena of
spider life. He began with humorous &C.
count of the courtship of the spiders. The
feminine is fiercer and much larger than
the male. There is peril to the latter in
paying his addresses. Glove me or die"
is not a phrase Of poetry or sentiment with
the male spider, but is often literal state
ment of the tragical fact, and his usual ex-
perience is that he loses some of his legs in
the rebuffs which he receives. In one tribe
of spiders the female is 1900 times larger
than the male. Accordingly, said the lee
turer, there is never any occasion among
them to hold woman's rights convention.
The spider thread is composed of innumer-
able small threads or fibres. One of these
small threads has been estimated to be one
1000, 000th of the thickness of hair. The
spider pins three kinds of thread. One
kind is of great strength, and of this the
radiating or spoke-lines of the web are
made. The CROSSINGS, or what sailor
might call the ratlins, are finer, and are
tenacious-that is, they have upon them
little specks or globules of a very sticky
gum. These specks are put ON with even
interspaces. They are set quite thickly
along The line, ana what, IN the 1lrst IN
stance, catch and hold the legs of wings of
the fly. Once caught in this fashion the
prey is held secure by threads flung over it
somewhat in the manner of lasso. The
third kind of silk is that which the spider
throws out in mass or flood, by which it
suddenly envelops any prey of which it is
somewhat afraid, as, for example, a wasp.
A scientific experimenter once drew out
from the body of a single spider 5, $50 yards
of thread of spider silk-a length little
short of three miles. Silk may be woven
of spiders thread, and it is more glossy and
brilliant than that of the silk-worm; being
of a golden color. An enthusiastic ento-
mologist secured enough oft for the weav-
ing of suit of clothes for Louis XIV.

ANCIENT JAMESTOWN. Changes in the
James river have made an Island of James
town, completely separating it from the
mainland, and about all that remains of the
first English settlement of Virginia is the
dismantled tower of the old church. II
was here that Pocahontas embraced the
Christian faith, and was baptized by the
name Of Rebecca. The fount used on that
occasion now stands in the chancel of Christ
church, Williamsburg. Here also Poca-
hontas was married in 1913 to John Rolfe.
A low brick wall encloses the ground occu-
pied by the ruined tower and foundation of
the church; and tombstones, some broken
and scattered, some leaning against the
wall, and all with inscriptions nearly if not
quite illeigible have long since ceased to in
dictate where lies the dust of those who
bore their names. Two hundred yards be-
low the river bank is the stately old man
sion built by John Amber over a hundred
years ago. 1t is the only residence on the
Island, is in fine preservation, and occupied
by Col. H. D. B. Clay, formerly of New
York, who owns jamestown, which con-

three miles in length and three-quarters of
