How Old Spiders Live.

Old spiders, which have neither web
nor the materials to make one, often
hunt about to find out the webs of other
spiders, younger and weaker than them
selves, with whom they venture battle.
The invader generally succeeds, and the
younger spider is driven out to make a
new web, and the old spider remains
in possession until a stronger spider in
vades the web and drives it out. When
thus dispossessed the spider seldom ven
lures another attack, but tries to subsist
upon the few insects that may fall acci-
dental1y into its clutches, and eventually
dies of hunger.-London Standard.
Macaulay was 4S when ne issued the
first and second volumes of his History
of England" and the third and fourth
did not appear until he was 55. Good as
are the essays of his early manhood they
pale when compared with the work OF
his maturer years.

WHERE STORMS ARE NEEDED.
The Island of cuba Suffering Severely
From DrOuth.

HAVANA, March 1.-THE drouth still
prevailes. Its effects are most severely
felt in the department of Santiago de
Cuba Small rivers are dried up and
heavy losses in cattle has been sus-
tanned, owing to the fact that it is i'm
possible for the cattle to get food or
water. The drouth will naturally inter-
fere with the sugar crop, the yield, of
course, being much reduced through
lack of rain. The loss of cattle, too,
will effect the crop, oxen for labor in the
field being very scarce.

There are comparatively few weekly
papers in the country that pay for poetry.
One can almost count them on ones fin
gers. These papers require that contri-
buttons shall reach certain standard Of
excellence, and even then the poems
must be ''timely." II is singular that
papers that pay nothing ut all get very
excellent work. have known poems
rejected by the "pay" journals to date
an almost worldwide reputation from
their publication in the gratuitous col
umn.
The leading magazines pay good prices
for poetry, but much that they publish is
far inferior, as poetry, to that which ap-
pears in the weekly press at scantier
rates. The most valued contributor sell
dom gets more than three poems q year
into the magazines, and these, paid for,
say, at the rate Of $50 each, which is q
good price, do not prove bonanza.
Writers Of newspaper poetry fall into
ruts, which, seemingly, unfit them for
better work. One sees but seldom in the
great magazines the names Of poets who
appear almost weekly elsewhere. The
young writer, who has but a frail hold
on the paying papers, finds that he sends
in too much poetry, and too often; and
when he has overcrowded one pigeon
hole Of the editorial desk, his occupation
languishes. Editors, as q rule, will nc
cept just so much Of one authors work,
and writer's learn, by experience, that
they must not milk the cow too often. -

A poor country congregation found
itself badly in want Of hymn books.
The clergyman applied to London
firm and asked to be supplied at the
lowest church rates. The firm replied
that on condition the hymn books con
tanned certain advertisements the con
gregation should have them for moth
ing. Necessity knows no law, and the
minister sorrowfully complied, think.
ing to himself that when the advertise
ments came they could be removed
from the leaves The hymn books ar.
rived, and joy Of ioys-they contained
no interleaved advertisements. At the
thanksgiving service the good parso1
joyously gave out the Christmas hymn
and the congregation sang the first
verse with fervor, When they reached
the last line they found that this wa'
what they had been singing.

The greatest need at present is for con-
certed action among women. Never min
CLING together as men have done, they are
in general as ignorant Of life, its tempta-
tions and possibilities as of their own capaci-
ties. That women are harder upon each
other than men are upon them is the wicked
est lie ever taught aud one that the slightest
observation explodes. 1t has seemed to keep
them apart and prevent independent, straight
forward action When they begin to get ac-
quainted, as in clubs and societies, the mu-
tual surprise and delight at finding SO much
earnestness and sisterly feeling is something
really pathetic. Many a shy, stiff, narrow
woman expands under the sense Of comlade-
ship and sympathy like flower brought
from the cellar into the sunshine, and blos-
SONS ous in a way as surprising to herself as
it is delightful to her friends. Like Gloriana
in one of Mrs. Whitney's stories, she knew
there were ''good times in the world, but
never expected to be in them,n and now she
learns how to contribute her own share to
them. More than all other means Of growth
are these associations, and the influence Of
the many acting as the one will be the most
powerful factor in that enlightened woman
hood which will be the salvation Of society,"
Hester NJ. Poole in Good Housekeeping.
