Insisting on His Rights.

Travelling in Japan becomes rather sert-
Gus business when the magnates of the coun-
try are also on the wing, for they think it
beneath their dignity to mingle with ordinary
mortals, and therefore engage the entire first
class accommodation for themselves. When
applying for tickets one is frequently met by
the reply: ooh, you can't start tomorrow,
for INV Lord So-and-So will be on board.
Won must wait a week" "But what if some
other erandss should chance to 60 next
weeke' ssFor your sake I hope no lord will
be travelling" The Hon. Lewis Wingfeld
saws in ''The Wanderings Of Globe Trotter:"
On one occasion my ire was kindled and
fear was rude, for by missing particular
local boat should lose tho weekly steamer

told, and therefore must delay my trip.

Third class, by all means, but the luggage

small knot of the elect, the lady and her

India.
 Far up in the mountains of Ceylon and In dia there is @ spider that spins 8 weblike bright, yellowish silk, the central net of which is five feet in diameter, while the SUD- porting 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 around your face like a lace veil, 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 pleasant. If you forget yourself and try to catch him, bite he will, and, though not ve- nomo,ls, 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 hand
 somely decorated, being bright gold or scar
 let underneath, while the upper part IS cov-
 cred 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 scally lizard falls 8

 has often sat and watched the yellow and
 scarlet monster-measuring when waiting
 for his prey with his legs stretched out, full

 the net, and not the rapid manner in which
 he winds his 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 unfre- quented dark hooks of the jungle you come across most perfect skeletons of small birds caught in these terrible snares, the strong folds of which prevent the delicate bones from falling to the ground after the wind and weather have dispersed the flesh and feath-

 The exercises at the East Pearl street Methodist church yesterday evening, which were in the nature of @ celebration of the centennial of Methodism were of very in- teresting sort and were greatly enjoyed by a vast number of people. The address on the Struggles and Successes of East Pearl street church," by MT. John s. Sanford, was an interesting resume of the history of the church from it's inception to the present day. MT. E. c. Hills address on "the Future of Methodism" was an able effort while the Rev. MT. Goodenough, the pastor, handled his subject, the Mission of Methodism" in a scholarly manner in a way that convinced his hearers that his views on the subject were sound and well taken.
 At the prohibition meeting Saturday even- ing ways and means were discussed for fur- thering the interests of the constitutional amendment which is to be voted on in October next.
 While Judge L. P. Deming is away on his visit to Califor mia he is taking photographic views of the Yosemite Falls and other pic- turesque portions of the country, which he will use to illustrate his lectures during the coming winter.
 It was estimated that between 3, ,OO0 and 4,000 people took occasion to ride on the Fair Haven and Westville road yesterday afternoon and last evening.
 Next Thursday Ernest O. Rowe, Burt Dud- ley and George Burlington will set out on 8 bicycle tour up the Hudson to Lake George. They will go on their bicycles all the way.
 The Fair Haven friends of prohibition are to take vigorous steps towards getting out a full vote in the Quinnipiac wards and will appoint numerous committees to make a house to house canvass. Arrangements will also be made to have a large quantity of campaign literature distributed.
