4 Nation Ruined by a Spider.

It is said that when spiders are seen
crawling more abundantly and con-
spicuously than usual upon the indoor
walls Of houses, rain may shortly be
expected but the following anecdote
intimates that some Of their habits
are the equally certain indications OF
frost being at hand.
Towards the end of the last century
Quarter-master Disjonval, seeking to
beguile the tedium of his prison hours
at Utrecht, had studied attentively the
habits of the spider. and eight years
of imprisonment had given him leis-
ure to be well versed In its ways.
In December of 1894, the French
army, on whose success his restora-
ton to liberty depended, was in Hol-
land, and victory seemed certain if the
frost, which then ragged with unprece-
denied severity, continued. The Dutch
envoy had failed to negotiate and Hol-
land was in despair, when the frost
suddenly broke
The Dutch were now exulting, and
the French generals prepared to re-
treat but the spider warned Disjonval
that the thaw would be Of short du-
ration, and he knew that his weather
monitor never deceived him. He con.
trived accordingly to communicate
with the French general, who duly es-
timated his character, and at once re-
lied upon his assurance that within
few days the water would again be
passable by troops.
The retreat was delayed. Within
twelve days the frost had returned
and the French army triumphed. Dis
ionval was Immediately liberated, th'

Rig Sheen Ranches.

The wool growing interest Of Mon
tana is almost exclusively confined
to the belt of rich grazing country ly-
ING between the Yellowstone and Mis-
souri, rivers and extending westward
to Fort Benton and the headwaters OF
the Teton and Sun rivers. The sheep
ranges proper are divided into aocks
numbering from 1000 to $4,000 head,
and men ofsmall means are engaging
in the business with certain profit to
themselves-many Of them starting
with 1000 head or less. The sheep
growers are proving more direct and
positive benefit to Montana than the
cattle men, for the reason that more
money is required to conduct the BUSH
ness prohtably, and it gives employ
ment to a much greater number Of la
borers. Sheep require constant care
and attention, while cattle require lit
tie. and are allowed to roam at will
until the rounding-up season arrives.

season of unexampled prosperity fol

Hudson Bay.

We come now to Lieutenant Cor
don's observations upon the natural
history of the country, and first OF all
as to its human inhabitants. These
are very scanty, and, with the excep-
ton of few white men at the traders
post, are solely Eskimos. On the
north side of the strait they are quite
familiar with the ways Of the white
men, and seem to be highly pleased at
the prospect Of increased intercourse
with them. Occasionally one is met
with who has mastered the English
tongue, but not often. Many others
understand well enough what's said
to them in that language, although
they can not be persuaded to speak
it. They are particularly fond OF any
article Of civilized clothing and the
head-man at the North Bluff manifes-
ted no small pride at the possession OF
a stand-up collar, which he displayed
to the utmost advantage. In charac-
ter they are doeile, amiable, and will
ing to work. When landing the stores
and coal at North Bluff they worked
all day along with the men, carrying
heavy weights up over the rocks, and
toiling away as cheerily and heartily as
could be desired, asking no other re-
Enumeration than biscuits, Of which
commodity they are inordinately fond.
These people have no farinaceous food
Of any kind, and, as a consequence, the
children are not weaned untilthey reach
the age of three OF four years. The
families are small, there rarely being
more than two or three children, and
although early marriages are the rule
their numbers must be diminishing,
because signs of their presence were
met with everywhere, while the people
themselves were found at only three
six places along the straits, and there
are only some five or six families
known between Cape Chudleigh and
Nachvak. Along the Labrador coast
the Eskimos gather in small settlements
around the Moravian mission-stations
Main is considered the largest settle
ment, and its Eskimo population does
not exceed two hundred souls. Those
at the stations are all educated, being
able to read and write in their OWL
language, and according to the mis-
sionaries, are regular attendants a
church, and very fond of music-tw'
excellent and hopeful traits certainly

A BarreI Hammock.

The season for hammocks Is here,
saws a writer in an exchange, and l
will tell you how to make comforta-
BILE. inexpensive one. Bring your old
-four barrel from the cellar or store
room, knock it to pieces, clean and
raint the slaves. Procure a rope four
ines in length of the place where II
is to be suspended, and in size a little
larger than a clothes line Now halve
the rope, double each piece in the mid
die. and commencing two yards OF SO
from the end, weave it over and under
each stave about three inches from the
end of each one, which viii bring the
rope crossed between each; do both
sides the same and your hammock IS
complete. One end of the rope should
be fastened up higher than the other.
At first this may not seem firm, but
when there is any weight on it, the
rome becomes etaut7 and secure.

It seems curious that, though the
press in England is declared to be
free, the publication Of the Scriptures
is still under an ancient restraint.
Only the presses of the great univer-
stiles can print copies of the Bible;
and they sometimes seize on all the
advantages secured them by their
valuable monopoly. In speaking Of
the Revised Version of the Old Tesla
ment. the London Times says: ut is
announced that the Old Testament is
not to be published separately, except
in a somewhat costly form, and that
in the cheaper editions it will be
bound up and sold as one volume with
the New. They who have the New
already by itself must buy it over again
with the Old. Though buyers OF the
Revised New Testament have no lega
redress, they undoubtedly are threat
ened with a breach of moral faith.

With radiant beauties untold,
They will revel in meadows and mountai ms
They will dance by the old ocean side

There are only two regular savings
banks in Chicago, and the deposits in
such banks in the whole state OF lii

is partly due to the fact that Western

does, and partly to the large number

A London doctor has published
some curious comparative statistics
on the longevity of public and pro-
fessional men. He found that the
average age at death of the twenty
five most prominent American states
men during the last hundred years
was 90. The average of an equal
number of English statesmen was &c
years - practically the same. He
thought the latter did more work at an
advanced age. The difference in favor
of English, as compared with Ameri-
can, political life was brought out by
comparing the ages at death of mem
bers of the British Parliament with
those of the United States Congress
who died between 1860 and 1884.
OF our Senators, SO gave an average
of 81 years; 146 Representatives aver
aged S. years, and the average for
both was So. 121 members Of Parlia-

slightest pretense to civilization is an
earnest of assured progress. An ex-
tensive bed of coal has been found in
Mexico, near the line of the Mexican

between FL Paso del Norte and the
City of Mexico, and has given ground
for the belief that the difficulties
which Mexican railway and mining
interests have to encounter from scar

In the central agricultural districts
of Russia, the whole number of inhabit-
ed houses is nearly 100000 and Of
these only about $4,000 are built of
stone. In the manufacturing prov
inces there are $500 stone houses in a
total of 100000 dwellings. These
figures give an idea of the extent to
which wood is used for BODYBUILDING
in Russia, and the demand is pretty
constant, for fire is so frequent that,
according to trustworthy estimates,
wooden Russia is wholly burned down
about once in every seven years. A
great deal is also used in the con
struction of boats to ply the Russian
waters, as one-quarter of the entire
number of vessels thus employed are
destroyed annually.
