circular in form, are then strung thick with
tiny pearls of dew that glitter in the sun.
No lace is SO fine. Could any be wrought
that would equal them in their filmy delicacy
and ightness, it would be worth a princes
ransom. But for such work mans touch is
all too coarse 1t is possible only to our
humble garden spider, known to scientific
people by the more imposing name Epeira
diadema. These spiders belong to the family
of Arachnidse, and the ancients, who were
great lovers of beauty, observing their webs,
invented the pretty fable of Arachne
Arachne was a maiden who had attained
to such expertness in weaving and embroider-
ing that even the nymphs, leaving their
groves and fountains, would gather to admire
her work. They whispered to each other that
Minerva herself must have taught her; but
Arachne had grown vain as she grew dex-
ferrous, and overhearing them, denied the i'm
plicatlon with high disdain. She would not
acknowledge herself inferior even TO god
dess, and finally challenged Minerva to a trial
of skill, saying: "If beaten, l will bear the
penalty" Minerva accepted the challenge,
and the webs were woven Arachne's was of
wondrous beauty, but when she saw that of
Minerva she knew that she was defeated;
and, in her despair, went and hanged herself.
Minerva, moved by pity for her vain but
sllillful opponent, transformed her into a
spider; and she and her descendants still re-
tain portion of her marvellous gifts of spin
ming and weaving

In the fundamental element of size, Venus
and the earth are almost alike, our earth be-
ing 1900 miles in diameter and Venus 1900
The force of gravity on the surface of the
latter is very nearly nine-tenths of what it is
with US. Its density is almost the same frac-
ton of that of the earth. These facts show
that if transported to the surface of Venus
we should feel more at home, so far as some
essential features of experience are concerned,
than on any other planet known to us. We
should weigh just about nine-tenths of our
present weight, and should find distances
bearing much the same ratio to our muscular
power Of walking that they do in this world;
while in all probability the surface rocks and
earth, if such be formed there, would be COM
pacted and constructed like those we daily
see around us. This would not be the case on
planets so much smaller than the earth as
Mercury or Mars, or so much larger as Jupi-
ter, Saturn or Neptune
Again, the year on Venus would be about
225 days in length, good deal more like what
we have on the earth than is the case on any
other planet. In the length of the day we
should find a still more homelike experience
as the difference would be imperceptible ex-
cept to careful observation. Venus rotates
in 2S hours 81 minutes % seconds, and the
earth in % hours Sc minutes seconds. The
day, of course, depends a little on the motion
of the sun in the sky, but the difference be-
tween this as seen on our earth and from We
nus would not appreciably affect the similar
ity of the days in each. These hkenesses to
the length of our day and year and to our
worlds density would cause similarity, in
all probability, in mountain form and vege-
tation. In fact, so far, Venus is nearly the
twin sister of our world

How Darius Was Made King.


IN the year four hundred and ninety-three-
The date sufixed with a large B. c.
Csmbyses the king of Persia, was dead,
leaving no son to reign in his stead.
Then seven young men of high degree,
The nObleSt Of all the nobility,
Said, lone Of US rightly the king must be-"
One was Darius of royal stock,
Who afterward on the Behistun rock,
Carved his exploits In a way no doubt,
Wind and weather will never rub out
Carved them in true Assyrian style,
Angular men ranged in single file.
But which OF the seven the crown should
wear,
Was a very undetermined affair.
However, then, the same as today,
Where there's a will there's ever a way
And this was the plan they fixed upon:
To mount their horses at break Of dawn
and ride toward the rising sun,
And the first that neighed, the rider, he
Was the one predestined the king to be.
So at break Of dawn like seven Fates,
These noblemen at the palace gates.
Mounted their horses, one by one,
And slowly rode toward the rising sun.
AZ they passed along in the array.
Upon the sun, the god Of day,
and one of the horses stopped to neigh,
q well bred horse, good morning. to say.
Darius turned pale, a natural thing,
For the neigh Of his horse had made him the
king

The Domesday Book.

The original Domesday book mot Dooms-
day is still in existence and uninjured in
the Record office, Fetter lane, London. It
was compiled by order Of William the Con-
queror, having been commenced in 1850 Some
say 1885 and finished in 1856 1t contains a
survey of all the lands in England except
Northumberland, Durham, Westmoreland
and Cumberland, and is in two volumes, a
large folio and quarto. The folio contains
$50 double pages of vellum, written in small
but plain characters The quarto contains
450 double pages of vellum, written in large,
fair characters. Only three or four pages
are devoted to London The covers of both
volumes are cut from the same parchme1 ut
skin Bound in massive board covers and
kept with religious care under glass case,
the precious volumes seem likely to continue
their existence throughout the ages.

Be Merciful to Yourself,

And heed the appeals for assistance Put
forth by your liver, when the organ is out
Of order. Among these are distress in the
right side and through the right shoulder
blade, yellowness of the skin and eyeballs,
furred tongue, sour breath, sick headache,
and, above all, irregularity of the bowels.
The mercy you extend to the afflicted organ
is wisely shown by prompt course of med
ication with Hostetter's stomach bitters,
most genial of alternatives, and the hepatic
gland early reciprocates the deserved at
tention by resuming its secretive functions
actively and regularly. Among the accom-
panying good results are renewed diges-
ton, freedom from headaches, and a re
sumption of activity of the bowels. All
bilious SYMPTOMS disappear, and appetite
and sleep improve. Benefcent are the
effects of the bitters in nal srial disease,
kidney disorder, rheumatic ailments and
nervousness.

Making the AImnnac.


The almanac, in some form, has been not
only a convenience but a necessity since time
began. The moment that any occurrence
became thing of the past it became indis-
ejsnsabIe that it should be classified accord
ing 20 its relation to other events that had
been contemporary or had preceded it, to
prevent confusion of memory, or, if the pc
nod had become one of written record, OF
history. For this classification the sun fur
slisfed a convenient means by its disappear
aGce and temperance at regular hours. The
primitive man, as savage tribes do still,
counted by suns and moons to the extent that
his feeble knowledge of figures permitted. A
more advanced state of civilization brought
q recognition of the fact that the solar year
contained a certain number of days, that Is,
365JL, divided into thirteen moons or months.
On this basis the almanacs of modern Chris.
eian people are based AS the extra six hours
cannot be counted every year, day is added
every four years, that the beginning of the
year may so occur as to commence all the
seasons at the same epoch
The ancient Greeks, instead of this quad
rs1niai adding of day, added month from
time to time, which brought back their sea-
ssons 90 the normal condition. This is still
the system of the Chinese and the East
Indians. AImanacs based on these systems
are solar in their general scheme and
lunar in detail There is the almanac OF the
Arabs, which is exclusively lunar. Each
month begins with the new moon, or nearly
at that date, making year with an average
length of about 364 days and eight hours.
This system was that of the Persians and Ar
Daenians in ancient times, and is retained by
ell M1ssulman nations Julius Cesar re-
formed the calendar, and his system re-
sl1Gined in vogue till changed to the present
form by Pope Gregory XIII in 1882.

Some Motions OF One Earth.

The earth revolves on her axis in twenty
three hours, fifty-six minutes and four Sec
onds. This time is required for one rotation
from star round to the same star again.
The revolution is, therefore, called a sidereal
day. While the earth mas been turning on
her axis she has been advancing in her orbit,
and it will take her four minutes on the aver
age to come in the same position in regard to
the sun; thus, adding four minutes to the
length of the sidereal day, gives twenty-four
hours for the solar day The time of the
axial rotation has not varied the hundredth
part of a second in two thousand years. 1t
may, therefore, be considered as invariable,
and is, consequently, adopted as funda-
mental unit in astronomical measurement.
