We have had an unusually
large Mating season, and our
most popular goods have been
the jointless or seamless Dam
ask Mattings now SO generally
used. There is nothing cooler
or more pleasant than a matted
house, provided you get good
qualities. Poor mattings being
about the meanest things you
can put on the floor.
The seamless Mattings, be-
ing the same on both sides, or
reversible, gives you the oppor-
tunity to get double wear.
And the styles this season are
very pretty, in self colors of
plaids and stripes.
The 5o-cent qualities are re-
duced to IS cents.

The Red Man in Literature

Cooper is said, by Bradner Matthews
to have been the first author who intro
duced the red man into literature. This
has been disputed, and it is alleged thai
"Chateaubriand, who visited the new
world in the year of Cooper's birth, Ger.
tainlY did not neglect the noble savage.
But here are some mistakes. Chateau
BRAND was in America in 1891, when
Cooper was years old. His "Atala, y
a tale of Indian life, appeared in 1901.
Cooper's first novel appeared anonymous
ly in 1919, and his Last of the Mohi.
cans" in 1926. But Thomas Campbell
had introduced the Indian to English
literature in his Gertrude of Wyoming, u
which appeared in 1909. But Alexander
Pope's lines, beginning "Lo, the poor In
dian" appeared about 1889, more thar
fifty years before Cooper was born; and
it certainly refers to the red man Of
America, for the poet adds that his
"humbler heaven" is place
Where slaves once more their native land behold
No iends torment, no Christians thirst for gold.
The Christians" here mentioned were
the Spanish invaders of America,

How much Spiders Know.
New York Telegram.l

Experiments ON the mental powers of
hundreds of spiders have been made by
Messrs. G. w. and E. G. Peckham.
Evidence was given that the faculty of
smell is fairly developed in all but three
out of twenty-six species, but the posi-
ton of the organ of smell was not
found and is not known. Loud sounds
were apparently unperceived; the epei-
rids were sensitive to the sound of a
tuning fork, while the spiders that dc
not make webs gave no heed to it.
Love of offspring was manifested in
all spiders by eagerness to receive back
cocoons within twenty four hours, though
few recognized them after a longer pc
Rod, and none seemed able to distinguish
their own cocoons from another spiders
or from pith balls of the same size.
Sight appeared to be good, though from
familiarity only through touch cocoons
were found with difficulty, even when
within three-fourths of an inch. The
color sense seemed fairly developed, with
preference for red. The authors dis.
credit the notion that spiders feign death,
accepting Darwin's explanation that the
habit of lying motionless has been &C
quired in different degrees to serve diff
ferent nurnoses.

Not long ago Gen. Corse received
complaint from well known woman of
letters, who passes the winter months in
Boston, to the effect that her copy of the
Atlantic Monthly was invariably delayed
much after the time when it should
naturally be received. When finally it
did come to hand the leaves were always
cut and it bore the appearance of having
been read in transit. She was inclined
to the belief that some one connected
with the postofice, a carrier, perhaps,
was in the habit of taking it home to
read before delivering it. The complaint
seemed reasonable, and an inspector was
detailed to look the matter up. He soon
discovered that the postoffice and its en-
ployes were guiltless in the matter, but
that the janitor of the hotel in which
the lady had her apartments was in the
habit of retaining her Atlantic for a
time for his own perusal..
