A Spider Story.

l observed very curious thing one
day in the meadows. A strong wind
was blowing from the west, the air was
clear and warm, and the chimney swal-
lows were unusually busy about and
above my head. There was quite q
swarm of them, and they came down
in body with the wind, apparently
feeding on something too small for me
to see. After watching them for some
time as the company of birds had near
ly passed by, l raised my gun and shot
one Of them, and on opening its mouth
found it to be full of small spiders, all
freshly caught and most of them still
alive. But how could spiders, being
wingless fly through the air in the
fashion that the actions of the birds
would indicate? l looked more closely
about me and soon found out. By gaz-
ing intently against the clear sky in the
direction of the sun, could see small
black bodies drift by now and then,
with a long. slender, glistening fila
ment stretched TREMENDOUSLY into the
air. These bodies were spiders with
their legs closely wound around them
and the threads were their webs, which,
rising by the warm air from the earth,
were blown along by the wind, and car
ried their spinners with them. The
lifting power of the heated air and the
weight of the tiny aeronauts made an
equipoise, and l drew picture to my
self of how the venturesome creatures
started. could see the spider crawl
to the top of a tall spire of grass, and
sending out his almost imponderable
thread as boy does his kite. and then
feeling the tug and pull of it until his
sense told him it would bear his weight
and finally letting himself go.-Cor. ~

The Contagion of Scarlet Fever.

In 1862 case occurred in a New
York boarding house. As soon as the
child was able to be moved it WAS
taken away, and the rooms occupied
by the family were thoroughly cleansed.
In three days afterward another family
moved into the same apartments, and
in two days child belonging to the
latter was taken with the disease. DIR.
Flint then related the case of Miss G.,
the daughter of q deceased New York
physician, who had been well-known
and highly esteemed in the community.
Having entered the Protestant sister,
hood of St. Barnabas, she was called
upon to nurse child suffering from
scarlet fever; and after she had finish
ed her attendance on the child, she
hung up her clothing to air for several
weeks. She then gave away the waist
of the dress that she had worn. and
put the skirt away in trunk. 1t was
in February, 1870. that she nurSed the
scarlet fever patient, being in attend
ance for ten days. In January, 1871,
she wore tho skirt for the first time,
and one week afterward was herself
attacked with acute diffused nephritis
and pulmonary 9dema, which proved
fatal The lesson of these cases, there
fore, was the necessity for effective dis
infection in all cases of scarlet fever

An Indian Delicacy,

The Indians scattered along the foot
hills of the Sierra, says Nevada cor
respondent of the San Francisco Chron-
tcle, are quiet, inoffensive people.
They do not appear to be governed by
any tribal laws, yet adhere to many Of
their old traditions. The tide of indus
try and civilization sweeping over and
around has left them greatly modified
by the contact, and although they re-
tain the original characteristics of the
race, in some respects they are much
improved. One or two men of superior
ability and industry form a nucleus
around which others less ambitious
gather. Here they fence tract with
logs and brush sufficient for their re-
quirements of haymaking, pasturage,
etc. They invariably build their cabins
upon the most slightly point, even when
the spring that furnishes their water is
half way down the hill. This habit has
no doubt descended from a warlike an
cestry, and is no evidence of an aes-
thetic delight in hazy valleys and misty
mountain tops. Their gardens are not
an assured success when water is plen-
tiful and the weather propitious. They
canuot always wait for their maturity.
Many of them are industrious and find
remunerative work at wood chopping,
sheep shearing, etc.
Although they often indulge in the
food of civilized nations, the acorn is
still favorite article of diet in every
well regulated wigwam. The process
of converting this bitter nut into any,
thing like palatable bread is curious.
Under the branches of grand old pine
l found them at work. They had
shucked and ground in the usual man
ner large mass of acorn meats; a
number Of circular watts had been hol-
lowed out of the black soil, much the
shape of punch bowl. Into these was
put the acorn pulp. At hand stood
several large clothes baskets filled with
water, and into these they dropped hot
stones, thus heating the water to the
required temperature. Upon the mass
of crushed bitterness they carefully Ia
died the hot water, making it about the
color and consistency of thin cream.
Not a speck appeared to mix. A bux-
ON nuhaIa stood by each vat and with
a small fir bough skillfully stirred the
mass. removing any speck that floated
on the surface. The soil finally alb
sorbed the bitter waters, leaving firm
white substance of which they make
bread.
/ asked to taste of it, at which they
said something in their own language
and all laughed. l asked again, and
after more laughter l was handed
small piece on a fig leaf, and
found it sweet and palatable. They
began at once to remove it, and SO
adroitly was this done that but small
portion adhered to the soil. They
spread it upon the rocks, and in short
time it was fit for use. This, l am
told, they mix with water, pat into thin
cakes and bake before the fire

Twenty Years After.

When the war of the rebellion broke
out. James a. Drake, native of West
chester county resided in New Orleans.
He was drafted into the confederate
army and deserted soon afterward.
Subsequently he enlisted in the federal
army, and was taken sick in Virginia,
where it was reported that he died.
His only sister subsequently became
Mrs. Lyman Cobb, wife of the cashier
of the Yonkers Savings bank Mrs.
Cobb made every effort to ascertain
something definite about her brother's
fate, but could discover nothing. For
twenty years Mrs. Cobb has believed
her brother was dead.
On May 20last letter addressed ITO
Any War Veteran was received at
the Fort Wayne, Ind. postoffice con-
tanning inquiries about a brother of the
writer who was supposed to be in that
vicinity. The letter was handed to a
veteran, who read it, and gave it to
Fred Drake, the mailing clerk at the
Fort Wayne postoflice. The writer
was James A. Drake, and the clerk
was the brother for whom the writer
was inquiring.
Mrs. Cobb. of Yonkers, was informed
of the existence of the long-lost brother
in New Orleans and she Immediately
wrote to him. Yesterday she received
a reply informing her that he is desir-
GUS to meet his relatives, from whom
be has been separated such a long
time. He will come north this summer
and enjoy happy family reunion.-M

Mosquitoes Under the Microscope,


We have long held the opinion that
the mosquito is an unmitigated scoun-
drel, who could give our own lively flea
six stones and beating over a long
course, but we are now convinced. A
gentleman has examined Mr.. Mosquito
under microscope, and his descrip-
ton is, to say the least, startling. 1t
appears that in the "bill'' of the little
beast alone there are no fewer than
five distinct surgical instruments.
These are described as a lance, two
meat saws, suction pump, and a
small Corliss steam engine. 1t appears
that when "skeeter' settles down to
his work upon a nice tender portion of
the human frame the lance is first push
ed into the flesh; then the two saws,
placed back to back, begin to work up
and down to enlarge the hole, then the
pump is inserted, and the victim
blood is siphoned up to the reservoirs
carried behind, and finally, to complete
the cruelty of the performance, the
wretch drops quantity of poison into
the wound to keep it irritated. Then
the diminutive fiend takes tiy round
just to digest your gore, and makes
tracks for q fresh victim, and if the
first one has been of unusual good
quality, he returns to the same happy
hunting-ground. The mosquitoes mar
velous energy, combined with his port
able operating chest make him at
once terror and pest. Our English
skin grazers are doves in comparison
with them.-Lonadon Sportsman

The Wrong Image.

Nature had done q great deal for
him; he looked like q dude that had
been made to order. He was taking
his first afternoon stroll in the most
recent of his spring suits, and evident
" enjoyed to the full the many chances
which were cast toward him. He was
Somerset to fremont, and he could not
possibly resist the temptation to ad-
mire the effect of his new clothes, as
his image was reflected from the win
dows- From each of the windows he
turned away with such look of mild
and gentle satisfaction as did one good
to see. He was evidently laboring I'M
der the delusion that no one knew that
he was using the windows for mirrors,
though in reality his attempt to exhibit
interest in the articles in the store was
calculated to deceive only the feel lest
minds. The looking-gla upon the
corner drugstore did not escape his
attention, and it was evident that he
could not deny himself the pleasure of
side view of his ideal dude profile
and miracle of collar.
Now, there are peculiarities about
that lookingg-glass, and one of them is
that it is set at such a strange angle
that when one looks into it he can
never be sure what part of the city he
will see reflected there. So it happen.
ed that when this immaculate youth
turned his head toward the mirror, at
the infinite risk of saving his head off
on the edge of his collar, he saw, in
the exact spot where he expected his
image to appear, the apparation of
man. slender and unhealthy, looking
like himself, but clothed in rags, and
with nose whose ruddy hue would
have stopped an express train at one
thousand yards. This startling spec
tacle was too much for the weak nerves
of the dudelet, and but for the Excess
sive tightness of his neither garments
and the stiffness of his shirt and collar
he must have fallen on the pavement
and broken himself in two. With re-
viving consciousness his hand sought
his nose, and an expression of relief
came into his eyes as he found it of the
usual size. A friendly window also
showed him his image as his own fond
fancy had painted it; and so he recov-
cred, but for the rest of the day timid
look came into his eyes, and the shad-
owy semblance of blush rose to his
cheeks whenever he turned his eyes
toward plate-glass windows.-Boston

THURSDAY, JULY 3, 1884.
Men and Women.

1t has long been deplored, says the
London Times, that when brothers and
sisters meet in the holidays they have
so few topics in common; that is, SO
few derived from their several courses
of study. They have nothing to say
to one another, unless it be such talk
as they might have without any educa-
ton, and in which they are possibly
beaten by those who have had none.
Yet it can not be denied that there are
studies more proper, and more easy, to
one sex than the other, and that what
we find to be- the custom must be in a
great measure our rule for the future.
There is here or there female prodigy,
but women are certainly not at home
in the dead languages. A lady will
tell you, no doubt with truth, that she
has read through the Eneid with her
father. Try her. She can not con-
strue line. Few women can put up
with philology. The bare mention of
derivation gives them the fdgets.
They can not, like men, spend an
evening in harmonizing dates and
periods. They are without the calm
partially which the historian must at
least assume, unless he is content to
advocate a cause. They are wanting
in the judicial power necessary to all
action as well as opinion. They must
be nterested-that is, made partisans.
On the other hand, they have immense
power for the acquisition and mastery
of details, especially if at all of pict-
uresque character. They can make An
agreeable and instructive narrative out
of the stuff a philosophic or constitu-
tional historian throws aside. But OF
almost every work of the intellect and
the higher faculties they seem doomed
to fall short. The "nobler" sex. as it
is arrogantly and unfairly called, has
SO far always the advantage. That
women can feel as noble as men, and
act as nobly, none can doubt. But
when it comes to the trial OF strength,
the poem, the history, the essay, the
speech, or what not, they are beaten.
Here they have a fair field and no
favor. yet they are distanced. This
natural difference must always be a
difficulty in the common use of ex-
aminations, schools, or other acade-
mic appliances. The universities are
at present adapted to the case of men.
1t can hardly be contemplated that they
shall be neutraliZed SO as to aim at q
mean between the sexes. Special hon
ors for the several subjects 60 some
way to meet the difficulty, but there is
hardly a subject, unless it be pure
matthew atics, that can not be treated
in masculine or in feminine style,
as may be required.

Women as TelephonistS.

Three years ago the United Tele-
phone company began to employ wo-
man, says the Pail Mall Gazette.
Chiefly for reasons of economy" we
learn, but beside this there are other
advantages. If boy IA years old is
employed as telephonist his voice be-
fore long becomes hoarse and indis-
tiuct; with a girl this is not the case.
The female voice is always clearer,
and as clear voice (beside good earl
is one Of the chief requirements of a
telephonist, women are naturally pre-
ferred. They are admitted at the age
of 16, the majority of those at present
employed by the United Telephone
company being between the ages of 16
and %. From the number of two, with
whom the experiment was begun, they
have risen to over hundred, who per-
form their duties to the satisfaction OF
the company. Preference is given to
the daughters of professional men;
this, however, is no strict rule. There
are no preliminary examinations to be
passed before admittance into the tele-
phone office. The different ranks are
the clerk in charge, who has the super
vision of room, in which are en-
ployed from six to fifteen clerks; the
deputy of the clerk in charge, the first
and second class operator, and the
learner According to these ranks the
payment varies; as q rule, however, IL
shillings to 16 shillings is the weekly
pay, which sometimes rises to fl, and
in rare cases to 25 shillings. The hours
of work are from 9 till 6 or 10 to re-
spectivcly. No case of illness has oc-
CURED on the staff since the commence
ment of the work. The general state
of health is also satisfactory. and Mrs
Merlin, the lady superintendent of the
whole staff, is of the opinion that the
girls are on an average well satisfied
with their situation and fond of the
work. 1t is perhaps a disadvantage
that telephonists have to talk all day
long; but this very fact is said to pre-
vent them from indulging in disputes
and gossip and makes their work COM
paratively quiet-a point upon which
some subscribers to the exchange have
been known to entertain a different
opinion. The aspect of telephone Of
flee is curious enough to an outsider.
A number OF young girls sitting before
a cupboard-like structure into the
apertures of which they are busily chat
tering, holding in the meanwhile an in
strument like an ear-trumpet to their
heads, would appear ridiculous enough
were it not well known how indispens-
able the telephone has become to civil
