In the Right Car,


/ Yesterday afternoon Cottage Grove
avenue cable train was hailed at Twenty
fifth street by two ladies. The train
stopped A man on the grip had turned
half around to converse with friend on
the seat behind him. The two were occu-
pying four seats. One of the ladies' who
hailed the car tapped the forward man on
the arm and asked if he would kindly sit
back with his friend and allow them to
occupy his double seat. He could not do
otherwise, SO he complied, but he egrumb-
led the while about women invading the
smoking car when there was plenty of
room for them in the car behind The
lady who had asked the favor overheard
the cultural remarks, but she said moth
ing. Pretty soon she turned on the man
who had made the quiet objections
There was a cigarette between her lips
"Will you kindly give me light?" she
asked, as she reached out her little hand
for his cigar. He gazed at her in amaze
ment, but he handed over his torch. The
lady took light and passed the cigar
bac with thanks. Then she gave her
friend light. The rude objector wilted.
He will never again claim that the smok-
ers' seats are sacred to the men. The lady
in question knocked him out.-Chicago

AS the early pilgrims used to wear a
scallop shell in the front of the hat in
token Of their having made pilgrimage
to the Holy Land, SO the Montenegrins
have adopted a national head dress
which has peculiar significance.
1t is a round, flat topped cap of red
cloth; round its side, and just overlap
ping its upper surface, is stitched black
band. In corner of the red circle thus
left at the top is embroidered semi
circle, in gold thread, into which is often
worked the initials of the prince.
This cap has symbolical meaning.
When the old Servian kingdom was bro
ken up, and the southwestern Sclavs be-
came subject to strange races, the wild
mountain district of Montenegro alone
preserved its independence; SO its inhab-
itants draped their red caps with black,
in mourning for their enslaved brethren.
The corner OF gold on the red cloth is
meant to represent Montenegro-the one

rapidly in the course of 100 years that
there are 2,708 males of the family now

in the shape of high position. Of the re-

are Princes Galitzin. These statistics

A correspondent of La Nature, a
French scientific journal. relates that his
young brother had made pet of a
chicken of the Houdan variety. Every
morning in coming out of the house the
young man brought with him handful
of crumbs or of grain or of something
else that chickens like, and little by lit
tie his Houdan pet acquired the habit of
following him about the place.
In grove near the house there was a
bench When the young man reached
this bench he invariably seated himself
and the fowl, jumping up by his side
picked the food from his hand and was
petted by being stroked on the head and
back.
This had gone on for quite long time
when the young man left home to go to
college. For the first day or two the
chicken seemed not to be inconsolable
over the loss of it's friend, but took its
food with the rest.
After few days, however. the fowl
seemed to become aware that its friend
was not coming back. and it was seized
all at once with an unconquerable mel
ancholy. 1t fingered morning after
morning under the windows of the house
as if waiting for its master to come out
Finally it betook itself to the bench
where its master hal been accustomed
to feed it, and there it remained, its head
under its wing, almost motionless, day
and night. 1t was useless to try to tempt
it with food; the chicken refused to look
up when the most tempting handfuls OF
grain or dough were thro&a down be
fore it. Its eyeli,ls were closed, and its
intention TO die Of hunger WAS so evident
that it was deemed merciful to kill it

With Intent to nsceire.

The Breakfast Table is informed of a
new idea of shoe manufacturer, which
is reported to have been the means Of
largely incfeasing his business. The man
ufacturer in question sepds out all shoes
of his make which are intended for ladies'
wear devoid of any stamp on sole or
upper by which the sizecan be told. The
reason for this is due to request from
some of his retail customers to that effect.
When the shoe gets to the retail dealer
he may, if he chooses to do so, mark on
the proper size: but he may, if he is un-
scrupulous enough, mark the shoe SO as
to make it appear smaller than it really
is. That is. if shoe were G he may
mark it at 2IC. 1t seems rather strange
that a shoe should sell more rapidly be-
cause it is marked wrongly, but If the
practice did not bring some definite finan-
cial return it would not, in all probability,
be pursued.-Boston Advertiser.

FRESH EGGS EVERY DAY.

A good story is told of grocer not
far from Boston town who had GUS
toner that must have fresh eggs every
day. The grocer weary of having the
eggs returned as not fresh, tried put

sent to the customers house. By this
means, it is said, some grocers be-
come so expert as to be able to OBJ
tain fresh laid, Eastern, or Western
eggs, all from the same basket, with
our Boston grocer-man it worked to a
charm, until one morning when pre-
pairing the eggs to send his trouble
some customer he forgot the day of
the month and dated the eggs ahead.
At evening he was visited by the
gentleman, who producing one of the
eggs remarked, II fnd," said he,
checking a smile, "these eggs were

lustrales how difficult it is to supply

never yet been done. For this rea-

Far up in the mountains of Ceylon and
India there is spider that spins d web
like bright, yellowish silk. the central net
of which is five feet in diameter, while
the supporting lines. or guys as they are
called, measure sometimes ten or twelve
feet long, and riding quickly in the early
morning J Ju may dash right into it. the
stout threads twining around your face
like lace veil, while, as the creature
who has woven it takes up his position
in the middle. he generally catches you
right on the nose, and, though he seldom
bites or stings, the contact of his large
body and long legs is anything but pleas
ant. If you forget yourself and try to
catch him, bite he will. and. although
not venomous, his jaws are as powerful
as birds beak, and you will not forget
the encounter.
The bodies of these spiders are very
handsomely decorated, being bright gold
or scarlet underneath, while the upper
part is covered with the most delicate
slate colored fur. So strong are the webs
that birds the size of larks are frequently
caught therein, and even the small but
powerful scaly lizard falls a victim. A
writer says that he has often sat and
watched the yellow and scarlet monster,
measuring, when waiting for his prey
with his legs stretched out, fully six
inches, striding across the middle of the
net, and noted the rapid manner in which
he wound his stout threads around the
unfortunate captive. He usually throws
the coil about the head till the wretched
victim is first blinded and then choked
