WASPS AND SPIDERS.

Is the Texas Spider a More Intellectual
Creature Than His Northern Brethren?
Mr.. Seth Green takes deep interest
in those interesting little insects known
as wasps. He does not do so uninten-
tionally, ike the boy does who shakes
the limb of peach tree with wasp's
nest on it, but deliberately, in the in-
terest Of science. Not long since Mr..
Green, who appears to be man Of
means, having abundance of leisure
time on his hands, observed a mud
wasp skirmishing around the nest of q
spider. Mr.. Green says the wasp crept
noiselessly up to the nest. Did he ex-
pect the wasp to call out in loud
voice to the spider that he had war;
rant for the arrest of that identical in
sect? The next political move of the
wasp was to pull the web nervously a
few times, as if there were a fly caught
in the tolls. The spider was not we'll
posted about the management of con-
yentions. Instead of either sending
out friend to investigate, or refusing
to submit his name at all, he rushed
out in pursuit of the nomination, or
rather the fly. Instead of receiving
the nomination by reclamation, the spi-
der was very much discouraged at find
ing a formidable opponent in the wasp,
who quietly ran him through, and
then bore him off in triumph. The
most surprising thing to the or(li-
nary mind is that the spider should
allow himself to be deceived SO
easily. If there is a professional
statesman among the insects, it is
certainly the spider. He is always
spinning out plans to capture the
fat taxpayer. That is the way he
makes his living, and in fact, he
does not know much else. The ant,
not the spider, received a compli-
mentary notice from Solomon for in
dustry and sobriety. The bee is
often used to represent the toiling
masses, while the spider never dis
plays any energy whatever, except in
getting up campaign plans and manipu-
lating conventions. The old trick of
strong candidate inducing his rival to
submit his name to the convention,
so he can be slaughtered in order
to make room for his suggestive
friend, is so old and transparent that
no Texas spider would ever allow
himself to be taken in that way. It
is credibly reported that the Texas
mud wasp has to actually capture
the live fly and place him in the web
of the spider, and even then the
spider frequently refuses to come out
and allow his name to be used in
the convention. The great question
that excites the people just now is,
whether it would not be better if both
the wasp and spider were Simultaneous

LEPROSY.

Two Sad Cases of the Terrible Disease
That Have Lately Appeared in New
York.
Several weeks ago in these columns
was given the sad story of young
lady of fashion in this city who had
been visited with strange disease
diagnosed as leprosy by her physician
and by experts, one of whom was a
member of the visiting staff of Mount
Sinai hospital-in consequence of a
wild nights frolic with couple of adj
venturous companions in an opium den
connected with Chinese laundry on
Third avenue. The diagnosis of lep-
rosy has been sustained, not only by
the concurrent opinions of all the ex-
perts who have been called into the
case, but also by the whipcord enlarge
ment of the ulnar nerve. This signifi-
cant symptom was already distinctly
defined under the finger when, ten days
ago, acting under the advice of her
physician, the beautiful patient sailed
for Europe with view of consulting
the best medical authorities in the great
foreign centers of scientific activity.
Another case of the same kind, not less
sad than the preceding one, nor less
certain in its symptoms, although of
obscurer origin, is now under the OBJ
servation of a group of practitioners.
The victim is a promising and brilliant
actress, as beautiful in person as she is
fascinating in manner, of English ex-
traction, and belonging to family that
has already furnished somewhat dis
tinguished netabilities of the stage.
The young actress arrived in this city
about a fortnight ago, and is staying
with her mother in private, denying
herself in her morbid sensitiyeness to
all her former friends and ac-
quaintances. The history of
the case, as furnished by her
attending physician, is as fol-
lows: In the latter part of June last,
on the eve of her departure from the
city with a light eomedietta and comic
opera company, the young lady, whose
name is withheld for obvious reasons,
noticed one morning at her toilet a
strange purple blotch, rather larger
than the ball of her thumb, beneath
her right eye. 1t was of irregular con-
tour, and extended from apointmidway
beneath the orbit some distance be-
yond the external margin. Rehearsals
were in progress. She was studying
very hard, and she attributed the APP
pearanee to late hours and overwork,
Smoothed and painted it over with
rose-water and bismuth. and thought
no more of it for the day, other than
to be careful that the painting was
efficient, Contemporary with this she
began to berestless, troubled with want
of sleep. and when, at last, the longed-
for oblivion came, disturbed and full of
starts. Twice in the days of these
embryotic days of the disease her
mother was awakened by stealthy foot

WHERE MOTHERS ARE MASTERS,
The Curious Laws of KinshiP Observed
by the Malays of NIid-Sumatra.

The Curious Laws of Kinship Observed
by the Malays of Mid-sumatra.
Although we have long since ceased
to accuse the dwellers on the opposite
side Of the globe Of walking about with
their heads downward, we do find
some of our most stable customs turned
topsy-turvey by our antipodes. Prof.
E. B. Tylor, in his address before the
British Association, mentions some
strange rules of relationship observed
by the Malays of Mid-Sumatra:
"Among these people not only kin
ship but habitation follows absolutely
the female line, so that the numerous
dwellers in one great house are all con-
nected by descent from one mother
one generation above another, children,
then mothers and maternal uncles and
aunts, then grandmothers and ma
ternal great-uncles and great-aunts,
etc. There are in each district several
sukl or mother-clans, between persons
born in which marriage is forbid
den. Here, then, appear the two
well-known rules OF female
descent and eX0ganly, Dub now "01oiiS
into view of the remarkable state OF So
cietv. that. though marriage exists, it
does not form the household. The
woman remains in the maternal house
she was born in, and the man remains
in his; his position is that OF an au-
thorized visitor; if he will, he may
come over and help her in the rice-field,
but he need not; over the children he
has no control whatever, and were he
to presume to order or chastise them,
their natural guardian, the mother
brother (mamak). would resent 1t as
an aifront. The law of female descent
and its connected rules have as yet been
mostly studied among the native Amer
leans and Australians, where they have
evidently undergone much modlllca-
tion. Thus, one hundred and fifty
Years ago, Father Lafitan mentions tharl
the husband and wife, while in tact
moving into one another's hut, or set

matriarchal idea by the fiction that
neither he nor she Quilted their own
maternal house.

The use of condiments in stock food

French and English agricultural pa

only of special foods, but of condi1

fowls. Several reports go to show
that there is economy in feeding
cheap molasses to hogs during the
completion of the process of fattenino.
