 'ilc many aCquaiiitauccs of Mir. and Mrs. Reynolds, prominent members of the First Baptist Church of this city. says the Minnc- :lnoliS Journal, arc telling an amusing story i'll which the two were the chief characters. The scene is laid in gay Paris. Mr. and Mrs. Reynolds recently made lengthy European trip. While III Paris they were patrons of a fashionable hotel For several months prCyiov;; u leaving for the tour abroad Mrs. Reynolds asslduously applied all her elCvS!es to studying the French language. She was an unusually apt scholar When the time for leaving home came Mrs. Reynolds teacher congratulated her upon the rapid manner in which she had mastered tho language, and Mrs. Reynolds personally believed she was proficient enough to cope with the Parislans in their own tongue when tho great metropolis should be reached.
 Mir. and Mrs. Reynolds spent many a pleasant day in Paris, and only have in re- membranes ouc brief halliday of agcnizing misery. IL happened this way: In Parisian hotels the ;,ttacl.Us are Suavc and obiiging One afternoon Mr. Reynolds iourneyed downtown a'on>. When Mrs. Reynolds found herself ready to leave her apartments she turned to the bright-eyed waiting-maid and with the best French at her command, told the girl to tell her husband, when he returned to the room, that she had gone down into the public parlor, where she would wait for him.
 .Oui. maliam,'' replied the girl with q | knowing smile and a low curtesy. It was | evident the glrl had had such commands | given her before.
 | Mrs. Reynolds passed down to the public 1 purlor She waited a ful hour for her hus- band, and by that time became very nervous i over hls nonappearance. She went up stairs and went out upon the veranda. | When nearly opposite her apartments she heard strang go sounds from within. Passing 1 quickly to the window she was thunder struck to see her husband pacing the floor at a lively gait, gcsticulating wildly with | his hands and muttcriug saVagely. Ever and anon he would try the door. It would net o!,Su, Mrs Reynolds ran to his assistance; opened the door; the girl was found, and then followed general eNplana- tious Grs.

THE MOTHER SPIDER.
Whilo It Lasts, Her Maternal Love Is Tel
 ribly Strong.

Whilo It Lasts, Her Maternal Love Is Ter.
 ribly Strong.
 Mother love among spiders is a fleetinR passion, but, while it lasts, it is terribly strong. One insect, the Olios leueos,ts, spins no web, but lays her eggs in some out-of- the-way corner, and wraps about them a large cocoon. This she fastens, by mass of fine threads, to some secure resting place, but if she is alarmed, holds it close to her body with two of her legs.
 4 writer i'll the Scientific American says that he once advanced to examine such cocoon, Which was fastened to a door, but on lis approach the mother spider hastened to cut the fastening threads with her man. dibies, clasped the precious burden to her body ana hurried away with it. After roaming about for awhile, she took refuge on W.!:Gow curtain, and for fifteen days remained there motionless.
 When the eggs were ready to hatch, she cut the edge of the cocoon, and out poured the young, swarming about her. They re- manned with her only a few days, and not until they disappeared did she find food and rest.
 The Lycoso arc tigers among spiders, and when the eggs arc enclosed ill their sac, at tach tho precious parcel to the abdomen, and carry 1t about with them. During tho | season of maternity they are exceedingly fierce, and consider any evidence of curioS- fly on the part of an observer as a direct challenge to attack.
 When tho young are matched, they swarm out over the mother, al.d she carries them about with her for several days. So vo- racious is their appetite that she frequently | falls a victim to it, for they have no con- punction whatever in devouring her. | One of tho ElseirG hangs her cocoonS | across her web, and when she has eaten an | insect encases his body in q like cocoon, and suspcnGS 1t beside her precious eggs Owing to these deceptive signs, mingled with dust, straw aud other debris, it be- comes impossible to distinguish the cocoors containing tho eggs from the others.
 The mother, having thus fortified her young, reiires to a cozy corner of her web and remains there, watching for insects. During ti:c summer, if an observer sees a few threads across the top of a thistle, wild carrot or goldcu-rod, he has only to separate tho blossoms to find within a spiders nest, containing yellow or white eggs. \ small mother spider is in charge of them. :s..l, ..a any intrusion, she will rise on her hind legs and advance to the attack, only leaving her eggs when consistently 1 brushed iXrs.V.

 THE phases of the moon are caused by the different direction of the suns rays with respect to the moons surface.
 RECENT discoveries made by the use of the spectroscope show that all the heavenly bodies appear to be composed of the same chemical elements.
 NUMEROUS observations made in France show that on meeting an insulated metallic or carbon conductor the solar rays com municate to it a positive charge; that the amplitude of this charge increases with the intensity of the rays and decreases with the hygrometric state of the air.
 ACCORDING to the best astronomers of modern times, nothing but the widest desolation prevails on the surface of the moon, and that mountains exist of 12O miles in diameter, the peaks of which rise often from 1000 to 16,00O feet in altitude,' p thus precluding all possibility of our satellite being inhabited.

THEY CALL THIS REFORM.
 Some of the republican orators and papers insist that they mean tariff re- duction much as the democrats demand it, only they want the reforming done by the friends of protection. Perhaps they give intimation of their purposes in the senate bill prepared last year. It may be presumed that this will form the basis of their legislation this winter. A comparison of it's provisions has been made by the New York reform club with the present figures and those of the Mills bill. An examination of the clauses shows that while in some instances the Mills reduction was followed, as a whole the senate measure would add to the sur plus and increase the burdens of protec- tion. A great number of instances might be adduced. All leather manufacturers now pay 30 per cent, and the Mills bill retained those figures, but the republican bill raises it to 35 per cent. Hats are raised from 30 to 50 per cent. and some kinds of woolens from 60 and so to 90 and 10 per cent. This is the sort of re- duction to be expected from the friends Of protection.

A pair of worthieS that used to practice before tho Washington bar were engaged in giving ''straw'' bail and in other ways se- curing the release of prisoners for a small consideration, says a letter to the New York Tribune. They rented q room that formerly had been drug store, not far from the police court, and kept Il light burning there all night for the benefit of 'late arrests" who might wish to obtain bail rather than spend the night in the police station. The drug gist who had occupied the place before them had failed to remove the blue and yellow bot ties from the window. One night two law Sers passing up the street saw the light.

THE POPE TO ARBITRATE AGAIN.
 Pope Leo's success in settling the dis pute between Catholic Spain and Pro- testant Germany on the Caroline islands. to the satisfaction of both, has directed the eyes of other contending nations to the same impartial judge. It is stated that Russia and Austria are seeking the arbitration of Pope Leo in the Balkan question, and that the governments of the United States and Great Britain will refer to him their Behring Sea dispute. A prominent member of the diplomatic body in Washington, said last week to a representative of the New York Herald:
 ''It is good proposal, am sure, and tribute to the eminent personal char acter and disposition of Pope Leo, as we'll as recognition of the exalted benevolence that belongs by constitution and tradition to the sacred pontifical office. The selection of the pope by the American government as the arbitrator of an international question to which the United States IS party would be a matter of much interest to the cabinets of Europe for which the papal question has an inn portance that naturally is not participant ed in by this country. It would fix a precedent certain to be followed by other powers, and might lead in the cours Q of some years toward an important altera- tion in the political .status of the pope, which, I am confident, would be felt as an amelioration of the present condition equally at the vatican and the quirinal."
 In striking contrast with this recogni- ton of the pope's influence as judge of appeal between the nations is the child ish declaration of the Italian organ, the Reforma last week, that the pilgrimages to the vatican are becoming political de- monstratiors against the unity of Italy, and that the pilgrimages are therefore illegal!

THE OUTLOOK.

Ten states are holding elections to- day. Of these the most doubtful are Virginia and Ohio. The former is naturally a democratic state in which the republicans have fighting chance, while the latter is a republican state ill which the democrats have slight hopes of winning. If either state goes over to the party other than the one to which it is supposed to belong there will be much surprise. Of the other states the out look from a conservative standpoint places the two great parties on an equal footing. Iowa is almost as certain for the republicans as Mississippi is for the democrats. The situation in Maryland is different. The Washington core spondent of the New Haven Register says: The state is naturally democratic. But there is such bitter fight being made by the anti German crowd that the democrats may get left. The situa, tion in Massachusetts, from what can be gathered here, is very similar to that il Maryland. The republicans have array ed against them strong independent movement, made up from their owr ranks in support of the democratic can didate. The issue in both states is thu same. It is revolt against machine politics. Nebraska will go republican and New Jersey will go democratic by an increased majority. In New Yorl the democrats will probably win Pennsylvania will of course be republi can, but will not poll her usual republi can majority owing largely to the fac that Boss Quay is unified at the admin istration.

Grafted Skin Changes Color.

An interesting experiment. was lately made on a negro in Leipsic who was suf- fering from a wound in the treatment of which it was found necessary to apply fresh skin to the spot. For this purpose a piece of white skin was taken. from a living person and fitted to the wound, after which it gradually became darker until it was as black as the rest of the patient s body. Subsequently the contrary opera tion was performed. piece of skin was transferred from negro to a white man.
 Not long after the wound was healed, the black skin began to grow paler and in course of time assimilated to the com p1exion of the European.
