He Was Well Repaid.

A few years ago gentlemanly APP
pearing man frequented celebrated
cafe in Paris and every morning called
for a cup of coffee and a roll. One
day he went out without paying and
this happened several times. The
proprietor was notified, but he an
swered: Serve the gentleman as
usual, and do not pay the least atten-
ton to the BILL" For one year this
went on, when. suddenly the customer
disappeared. The proprietor had al

he obtained possession OF common
bar of washing soap and proceeded 10
astonish the jailers. With the nail OF
his index finger he began to dexter.
ously carve the soap into the shape OF
the ..human form divine" and within
an incredible short time, considering
the magnitude of the undertaking ana
the unbalanced condition OF his nina,
had produced wonderful model OF an
Alpine hunter. The figure, which Is
now carefully treasured, is said 70 DC
equal TO anything ever executed by
either Marcou or Vidouquet. 1t repre-
sents a man with his right arm out
stretched the fingers OF the hand en-
circling the neck OF duck, which Is
as carefully reproduced and as true tc
nature as the figure OF the hunter.
The left hand hangs by the hunter
side, holding Il shotgun, while at MS
feet lies the figure OF dog wistfully
gazing at the game his master hold
aloft. Taken all in all it is mos
remarkable work of art.

TRAP-DOOR SPIDERS.
Their Marvellous Ingenuity In Building
Their UNDERGROUND Homes.

Besides these uses. the Trap-door
SPIDERS nest serves rs nursery.
Within it the mother weaves her egg
bag or cocoon, which is simply a
pretty silken sack containing the eggs.
--r..is is suspended like hammock be-
tween the walls of the burrOw.
In due time the eggs are Matched
out, and brood OF Il hundred or more
Trap-door Spiderlings occupy the nest,
with their mother until they are old
enough to set up housekeeping for
themselves.
No doubt they have jolly times sport
ing along the silken chamber, tumbling
over one another, playing all sorts OF
spider games, and feasting to the full
u,ron juices of the insect prey that the
mother Trap-door brings home.
There are stories, which l do not
wholly credit. that these spiderlings
are not always good-natured and at,
fectionatc one toward another but
quarrel as one sometimes sees even
boys and girls quarrel.
These quarrels are apt to end seri'
ously. In fact it has been whispered
abroad that, once in Il while, a big
brother will eat little brother or /
little sister. But such cannibalism ha:
never been satisfactorily proved, ant
for one | am disposed to think The
story Il slander.
BY and by, when Nature teaches the
| little fellows that it is time to leave
the home roof and start in business fol
themselves. they may be seen, upo,
some bright spring morning. creeping
from the open door and scattering
through the neighborho0d.
In little while, if one will cxamin
the vicinity, he will see miniature
tubes. each not bigger than darnin!

every one II perfect miniature OF tn

There is nothing more remarkabl
in nature than the fact that these bah
spiderlings, without any education O
experience, but acting simply from a
impulse, which is known as instinc
can construct an object so complicate
and perfect as the Trap-door spider
nest. Rev. II. G. McCook in Youth

To PREVENT undesirable immigra-
ton, or rather the deportation of those
shipped from Europe at public expense
to get rid of them, is undoubtedly the
right not only of this country but of
every other. But the immigrant who
comes here of his own will, seeking to
better his condition, is an advantage
to this country, and if he proves other
wise it is our fault and shame. This
country has largely been made what it
is by the combination of various
nationalities, and even of races, in one
homogeneous population. We have
thus Americanized Englishmen, Irish
men, Scotchmen. Germans, Dutch and
Frenchmen. OF late years larger
numbers of Swedes, Danes, Norwe-
gians, Russians, Poles and Italians have
been seeking our shores. Some of these
possibly are not so desirable materia
for citizenship as our earlier importa
tons. But it was the providental benefi
that this country received from the earl.
Pilgrims and Puritans that it wa
grounded SO firmly in sound principal
that we could digest and assimilat
almost anything that could come after
We have done SO up to this time, All
here is no indication that we shall nc
be able to do 80 hereafter.

ME question whether German should
be taught in the lower grades OF the
public schools is enlisting more gene
raj interest than any other feature OF
our public school administration. Ev-
cry intelligent citizen must recognize
the high place which the German must
hold in any scheme of general culture.
But its value is almost wholly literary.
It unlocks the treasures of German
literature and philosophy and science
to its possessor. To DO able to read ii
and to speak it are very desirable ac-
,omplishments; but they are by nc
means necessary to fit the pupil for the
practical duties of business or social
life In this country.

THE love of money will destroy the
tie of blood; any reprobate passion
will do it. and brothers and sisters
will quarrel for ever about the division
of little property, and form new al
liances OF spirit and feeling with nom
relatives, to vex and to ruin their own
blood relations. Bad Us this seems,
1t is demonstration upon large
scale of a fact that we ought all to
know, that the permanent tie OF love
and friendship is not material. but
spiritual and moral, and that there is
no security whatever for the former.
unless it be confirmed and supported
by the latter,
