RATHER HARSH,
Comments on the Proxy Apology

LONDON, June 17.-The News says:
1--WE venture to say that the Prince OF
Wales new departure in substantially
apolOgizing to parliament and to the
country exhibits just difference to pub
lie opinion and will dispose Of the whole
matter. The pain which the unpleasant
process must have cost the prince will
count as part of his cxpiation with
every generous mind"
The Chronicle cavils at the government
and the war office for providing cusll.
ion to soften the prince Of Wales lall. In
stancing the case Of a private who was
degraded for shielding a comradc who
stole a trillc while drunk, the Chronicle
asks: "Why should field marshal, the
prince of Wales, be treated differently
We get nothing in the shape of military
benefit from placing royal persons incoy.
cted posts in the army. The least we ex.
pcct is that they remember that they
wear the queens uniform"

FLY SPECK DECISION.
A Murderer May Get OFF ON
"ShOulSl" for "NIay."

TERRE HAuTE, June 1G.-The use Of the
word should" instead of may" gives a
convicted murderer chance for freedom.
Harry Trogdon was found guilty Of kill
ing Hays Sanders, and a three years
sentence was imposed. In his instructions
to the jury the Judge said:
"You should consider also the state.
ments he makes, whether they are rea,
sonable or unreasonable" etc. The dc

cidcd that the word may should he used
instead of should, and that the instruc

Woods that are In Style.

The latest fashions in furniture
woods in Grand Rapids, the greatest
furniture manufacturing centre in the
world, are set forth thus by the North
western LumhCrman:
Oak leads in point of popularity,
and cnto int The construction of all
kinds of furniture 10 the most cXpen-
sivc. Quartcr-sawed oak is extensively
used for The higher grades and me-
dunn priced furniture, while bastard
sawed goes into the lower and cheap
grades.
Next to oak this season comes white
and birds eve maple, and immense
quantities Of this will be used. Curly
maple is used in yenccrs exclusively,
and often goes into the highest priced
furniture, while white maple vics
with quartcr-sawcd OAK in price. This
lumber has to bc carefully assorted and
very carefully handled during the con
struction process to guard against
soiling, and these necessary details
increase the expenses.

Cloth Of SpIders' Web,

Perhaps the most novel idea in the
textile line 10 that Of an EnglishmAn
named Stillbers, who, 1t is said, has
actually made 3 cloth of spiders web
which has been employed for purposes
OF surgery. A gentleman travelling
through the country. who recently
stopped in Washington, stated That
this man Stillbers has gone quite ex-
tensively into this spidcr-web cloth
making.
The spiders are obtained from
tropical Countries, mostly from Africa
and South America, and are very
large. A peculiar feature of the
business is that tho spiders
spin the best web when they are in
toxicated. To accomplish this liquid
composed of chlorofOrm. ether and
fusel oil is allowed slowly TO eyapo-
rate in the room where the spiders are
housed, and they are thus kept con-
stant!y in q mild state of intoxication.
The temperature of the atmosphere IS
maintained at GO degrees Fahrenheit.
These little creatures, which are usu-
ally so heartily despiscd, are placed
in octagonal cases, and arc fed
daily ON smaller insects Of various
kinds. In one room there are some
1900 of these cases. The spiders lay
their eggs, and about The latter spin
cocoons. These cocoons are gathered
and are prepared for weaving by some
such chemical and mechanical pro-
cesses as are undergone by the cocoon
of the siikworm. The process of
the weaving itself is a closely guarded
secret. Each cocoon is said TO yield
twenty-five TO 100 yards of thread.
The texture of the woven material re-
sembles somewhat ordinary silk, and
after IL is blcached il becomes brilliant
and smooth, Washington ) ar.
