The Good Spiders Do.
IBoSton Budget


DR.. C. Keller, Of Zurich, claims that
spiders perform an important part in the
preservation of forests by defending the
trees against the depreuations of
aphides and insects. He has examined
a great many spiders, both in their
viscera and by feeding them in captiv-
ity, and has found them to be voracious
destroyers of these pests; and he be-
lieves that the spiders in a particular
forest do more effective work of this
kind than all tho insect eating birds
that inhabit it.
He has verified his views by observa-
tons On coniferous trees, a few broad
leaved trees and apple trees. An i'm
portant feature of the spiders opera
tions is that they prefer dark spots, and
therefore work most in the places which
vermin most infest, but which are likely
to be passed by other destroying agents.

some ten or twelve days. They were here
again very quietly in the fall. just before

The Howard voice method will be rep

Howard of Boston, during May aud the

pretty well established in nearly all the
larger cities. and is said TO accomplish rapid
and unusual results, especially in securing
that artistic quality and full vigor of tone
which is now, the world over, displacing
insipid delivery of even decade ago.
Mr.. Howard claims that the fine efforts
of the vocal organs which evolve the
artistic tone may actual Y be felt by the
finger, and. therefore, guided with GER

some command of each one; that, com

color concentrates itself. Her shoulders

Her student life has been marked

feeling. She is member of the
First Presbyterian church of Buffalo. She
was deeply loved by her teachers, more for
her solidity of character and amiability of
disposition than for exceptionally brillian;
intellectual traits. though her average of
scholarship was good. The best portrait of
Miss Folsom now in Washington is large
one, which hangs in the Presidents bed
room. Miss Folsom was very ayerse to
giving sitting to the photographers when
she was here and has great horror of pub
licity. When she was in Washington last
a number of paragraphs were printed about
her school life, which she traced To one OF
two of her school friends She quarrelIed

Miss Folsom expected the engagement
would become known, as the fact wa,
