DR.. William A. Hammond says that
water used for drinking purposes should
never be below fifty degrees. We can al
most always get it even in the hottest weather
as cool as this by letting it run for minute
or two from any household faucet, or draw
ing it from any county well. If not, there
is no objection to cooling it to the
point mentioned. The East India monkey

An Emperor's Student Days.

mon pupil in the public school at Cassel,
and played and studied with the other
scholars. At the final examination he
was, indeed, only tenth in the list; but
then he was two years younger than his
mates, and was rightly considered to have
done so well that his tutor was ;mmedi-
ately knighted. There is no examining

him, with his little note book, writing
down, like a hard worked reporter,

lectures on the great German authors or
on the genius of our own Shakespeare.
The prince was anxious also to study
subjects not just then in the curriculum.
and for these the professors attended at
his rooms.
By the professors the prince was
treated with an almost servile adulation,
and he won their esteem and love. be

OF the relics of Gen. George Washing
ton none, perhaps. exceed IN interest or
are more valuable on account of their
associations than the collection now
owned by Mr.. Lawrence Washington, OF
Marshall. Fauquier county, Virginia,
who inherited them from his father,
Col John Augustine Washington. the
last Of the family in ownership of Mount
Vernon. This gentleman inherited them
from Judge Bushrod Washington. and
he from Gen Washington. These relics,
kept at Mount Vernon from the time of
Washington till that property passed
from the possession of the Washington
family to the Ladies association, are
more intimately associated with Wash
ington's home and. having been for
nearly century in the possession of his
male heirs, are probably more intimately
associated with his name than any other
collection. and while every article in it
is highly interesting there are two pieces
of surprising interest not only TO Aneri-
cans, but also to the people of France.
The first in point of interest Is full
length engraving of Louis XVI, presented
to Washington by that unfortunate mon
arch, whose support of the American
colonies in their struggle for independ-
ence so largely contributed to his own
destruction by the impetus given to
liberal ideas This engraving (the only
one of its kind, the plate having been de-
stroyed with that INTENT. to make the
present more of personal compliment.
was accompanied by an autograph letter
from Louis, which was burned with
number of other valuable papers about
the close of the late civil war
The other relic deserving special notice
is a statuette of Neckar, to the pedestal
of which are attached two brass plates.
On the upper plate is the inscription,
"Qui nobis restituit rem. and on the
lower, Presented to George Washing
ton, President of the United States of
America, by his most dutiful, most

taing, a citizen of the state of Georgia,

Far up in the mountains of Ceylon
and India there is n spider that spins a
web like bright yelowsh silk. the cen
trail 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 you may dash right
into it, the stout threads twining round
your face like a 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 hi large body and long legs
is anything bus pleasant. If you forget
yourself and try to catch him, bite he
will, and. though not venomous, his
jaws are as powerful as birds beak,
and you are not likely to forget the en-.
counter.
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 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 winds his stout threads around the
unfortunate captive. He usually throws
the coils about the head till the wretched
victim is first blinded and then choked.
In many unfrequented dark hooks of the
jungle you come across most perfect
skeletons of small birds caught in these
terribiFsnares, the strong folds of which
prevent the delicate bones from falling
to theground after the wind and weather
have dispersed the flesh and feathers

A Little Child's Presence Of Mind.

Ralph Ball, little fellow years of
age, is the hero of the day in Carbon
dale, Pa. Several children were playing
around an unprotected well, when Eddie
Widner decided to take drink from it,
As the water rises within foot of the
surface the little fellow thought he could
reach it by lying on his stomach and
putting his head down to the water. but
in trying this feat he lost his balance
and plunged head first into the spring,
which is over six feet deep. In his fall
he turned a complete somersault. coming
up head first, but as he went down he
uttered cry that attracted the attention
of a playmate, Ralph Ball, who is only
years of age. The latter fastened to the
place, and, with precocious presence of
mind that would have deserted many an
adult, he took in the situate at glance,
and, Selling the already half drowned
boy, he held his head above the surface
of the water until the united voices of
the children drew a man who was work
ing near by to the rescue. Eddie was
restored to his parents rather the worse
for his dangerous bath, but was soon
completely resuscitated. Chicago Times.

What John" Has Done.

At least in one way the public gener-
ally have been benefited by the influx of
Mongolians into this country. The Chi
nese at one time threatened to com
pletely monopolize the laundry business
throughout the United States. There
was only one way for the American
laundrymen to fight them, and that was
by doing superior work. The Americans
realized this, and rose to the occasion.
Every device for improving their mode
of washing and ironing clothes was
rapidly taken up. Steam laundries
multiplied everywhere, and their sys-
TEN was gradually perfected until now
no laundry workmanship is finer than
the American On the other hand the
Chinese have not made the slightest
effort to keep up with the American
system. They have no idea of progress,
and the few people who happen to pa
tronize them are still sure to have row
with John and to run a very likely
chance of losing their linen if they
should happen to mislay the pigtails
