A SPIDERS NOVEL METHODS.
How He Managed to Tie Up the Legs Of q
Fly He Had Captured.

Fly He Had Captured.
Natures Realm.]
On bright summer afternoon last season
I observed fly suddenly stop, futter and
struggle, apparently in mid air. This was
soon explained by little black and brown
spider, shade larger than the fly, darting
down from beam overhead, perpendicularly
above the fly. Reaching the latter he was
but a moment in doing whatever he did to
secure his prey, and he then ran nimbly up
his single cord, which found, although it
was scarcely perceptible, stretched taut
from the beam above to cross rail of fancy
work below.
The spider ascended about 1S inches above
the fly, then quickly turned head downward,
taking hold of the line with his forelegs, as
child would jumping rope, and with a
swaying motion the then struggling fly began
to be swung around something like button
would be in the center of string held by
both hands and rapidly turned by circular
motion. The speed was so rapid that by the
time it had reached circuit of about four
inches in diameter the fly could scarcely be
discerned. In about minute its operation
ceased and the fly was quiet.
I then found on examination that the fly
was still alive. and felt moved to try ifsI
could secure its freedom. Taking it care
fully from the web ine-no doubt to the
disgust of the spider-I found under the
magnifying glass that every leg was closely
tied together in the same manner as farmers
formerly tied the feet of calves together
when taking them to market in the bottom
of their wagons. Taking needle, I tried
to release the legs; but the work of the
spider was too well done, and the fly soon
expired.

Not a Pauper in All Seryia,

The opinion is generally held that there
is nothing entirely perfect in existence.
The opinion holds good in Servia's case. 1t
has had more trouble with its reigning
princes during this century than almost all
the other European countries combined,
and yet-though the fact is not generally
known-it is one of the best countries in
the world, at least so far as the condition Of
its lower classes is concerned. just think
of it, At the last census ESTIMATED in
1S9O), the total population was given at
2,O96, ,O43, of which not a single one was
pauper There is no such thing as a work
house in the country. The inhabitants are
thrifty, their tastes run usually to agricul-
tural pursuits, and even the poorest have
some sort Of freehold property.
1t is certainly pity that country with
its opportunities should be virtually bank
rupt and ruined through its worthless
princes Instead of "Black Georges" and
1'Milans'' it should have men at the wheel
who would still further develope the al

of the present century when, under a peas
ant leader, named George Petrovitch, the
country was regained to the Slavs and
formed into State; Petrovitch, "Kara, )" or
''Black George" as he was variously
termed, being the President or Hospodar.
His government was not a success, and after
period of turbulence, Milosch Obrenovitch
assumed control as king and founder of the
present dynasty.
The first Obrenovitch was a worthy pro-
genitor of a family whose history since they
came into power has been made up of
series of intrigues, murders and impositions
on the people. The present monarch is the
fifth Of the family, and promises to carry
out their characteristics to the full extent
Nevertheless, little King Alexander is
probably the most picturesque figure in Eu-
ropean politics to-day. He is II years of
age, inherits all the good looks which
made his mother celebrated, and, if reports
be true, all the contemplate traits which
have made his father famous. He could
hardly be otherwise, since from his earliest
infancy he has been accustomed to witness
the ever-constant and distressing quarrels
between his parents, from whom he is now
separated. Servia has not the brightest out
look, so far as its ruling powers are con-
cerned. Ex-King Milan was an inglorious
failure, and Alexander promises TO follow
in his footsteps.

IMPORTED ITALIANS DRIVEN AWAY.

Fearing Mob of Strikers, They Are Taken

BISMARCK, N. D., May 3O.-The striking
Swedish and Russian laborers of the Union
Pacific Railroad are very angry over the
importation of gang of Italians from st.
Paul to take their places, and late last night
threatened to mob them.
The Northern Pacific Company became
apprehensive of serious trouble, and at a
late hour sent the Italians post haste to
Mandan, neighboring railroad town five
miles distant. The train was followed out
of the city by the hooting mob. Sympathy
here is wholly with the strikers.

INDIANS IN FULL DRESS.
A single Suit Was SUFFICIENT to Equip Half
Dozen Savages.

A Sinxle Suit Was Sumcient to Equip q Half
Dozen savages.
A group of half dozen Indians espec-
ially attracted my attention, says DR.. G. B.
Gillespie, writing in the Century of Sun
day spent in Coloma, Cal. They were
strutting about in all the glory of newly
acquired habiliments; but with this dis
tinction-that one suit Of clothes was suffi-
cient to dress the whole crowd. The larg-
est and best looking Indian had appro-
priated the hat and boots, and without other
apparel walked about as proudly as any city
clerk. Another was lost in an immense
pair of pantaloons. A third sported moth
ing but white shirt with ruffied bosom. A
fourth Haunted blue, swallow-tailed coat,
bespangled with immense brass buttons. A
fifth was decked with fashy vest; while
the sixth had nothing but red bandana,
which was carefully wrapped around his
neck.
Thus what would scarcely serve one white
man Just as efectually accommodated six
Indians.

stroyed, and destroyed while indulging in
it, for tincture of Peruvian bark is spirits
into which has been drawn all the substance
of Peruvian bark.

suicide In Pekln, Wong Chin Foo.
China, where the population is nearly five
times that of New York and Brooklyn COM
bined, does not amount to as many in year
as those of New York in a week Wong
Chin Foo blames it on our marriage laws,
which in his estimation are too lax in some
respects and too str1ct in others. Either way
the conditions are such as to encourage un-
happiness and, in consequence, increase the
suicides. He also makes a suggestion,
which it is hardly necessary to say will not
meet with general favor in this country. It
is that law be enacted to take the place of
that granting divorce, allowing man when
his wife becomes too old or is an uncon-
genial mate to marry another, but not on
the same basis as the first. By some species
of reasoning, not exactly clear, he asserts
that this Will act as a preventive of self
destruction, while it viii have the effect of
providing for the excess of females In this
country.
L commend the above suggestion to the
consideration of our American wives, who
may possibly hold slightly different opin-
ions, with the information that Wong Chin
Foo is an intelligent and highly educated
man who is not in the habit of talking ab-
solute nonsense. If remember correctly,
he was at Harvard or one of the leading
colleges for several years. When he was
graduated, instead of returning to China, as
was his original intention, he decided to
make the United States his home. Soon
after a series of newspaper articles on Amer
lean institutions attracted such widespread
attention over his signature that his opinion
was generally sought on many different
subjects, but, identifying himself with the
Theosophists, who exploded their little

Globe Trotters of the Future.
Year by year far-off countries draw closer
to u.s. not in actual distance, but in time to
reach them. Fifty years ago it required
weeks to make the trip between Europe and
this country, where now the distance can be
covered in as many days. Japan, the do
main of the Mikado, which required many
months of wearisome travelling, is now
within two weeks of the eastern portions of
the United States. The steamer Empress of
Japan a few weeks since made the run be-
tween Yokohama and British Columbia,
distance of 5000 miles, in II days. If this
development of rapid transit continues, a
trip around the world can be made in the
same time which the biographies of % years
ago conceded bird could make the distance,
while the performances of the Misses Bly,
and Bisland and George Francis Train will
be laughed at.
Hobbies and Insanity.
1t is remarkable to what lengths some
persons will carry 'tfad' or hobby, and the
scientist who intimated the belief that they
who go to such extremes on certain subjects
are in some respects lunatics, was probably
not far wrong. One of the best arguments
in favor of this assertion noticed during
the past week in French newspaper, in

about thirteen years of age, were
charged with stealing quantity of
clothing, ETC., belonging to the Little
Sisters of the Poor. The cases were
continued until to-day.

Fritz Jordan, charged with purloining
candy to the value of So belonging to
w. p. Reid, were also put back until
to-day, the same disposition being made
of Charles Walton, Alex Hall and John
Moorhead, who stole twenty-four pairs
of scissors from store on East Third

years of age each.
