A MUSICAL SPIDER.
How He Was Mystifed and Pleased by
Tuning Fork.

How He Was A1ystified and Pleased by y
Tuning Fork.
A gentleman in California has been
trying experiments with spider, and
he seems to think that the spider en-
joys certain sounds even after he finds
they are not caused by the buzzing of a
fly caught in the web. This is what a
San Francisco paper says about it:
"a gentleman was watching some
spiders when it occurred to him to try
what effect the sound of tuning fork
would have upon them. He suspected
they would take it for the buzzing of q
fly. He selected large, ugly spider
which had been feasting on flies for two
months. The spider was at one edge Of
it's web. Sounding the fork the man
touched thread at the other side and
watched the result.
'sMr. Spider had the buzzing sound con-
veyed to him over the telephone wires,
but how was he to know on which par
ticular wire it was travelling? He ran
to the center Of the web very quickly
and felt all around until he touched the
thread against the other end Of which
the fork was sounding, then, taking
another thread along, just as a man
would take an extra piece Of rope, he
ran out to the fork and sprang upon it.
Then he retreated little way and
looked at the fork. He was puzzled.
He had expected to find a buzzing fly.
He got on the fork again and danced
with delight. Evidently the sound was
music to him"

ACQUITTED THEMSELVES.
a Good Story About Three Namsless Jug
tices Of the Peace.

- G0Od story ABOUT Three N0moleSs JuS-
tices Of the Peace.
A good story is told by the New York
Sum of the adventure of three police
justices and detective employed by
one of the societies whose operations
are intended to brace up the law It
seems that shortly before the holiday
season began a man who had been
active in politics for many years died,
leaving his family almost wholly I'M
provided for. His home had been hand
somely furnished, and the widow, COM
quarters, determined to sell the heavier
articles of furniture. Three members
OF the board of police Justices took a
hand in the sale. Among other devices
for helping their friends widow was a
rattle for her grand piano. The JUS
tees organized the friendly enterprise,
promoted the sale Of tickets, and when
a sum representing the value Of several
such pianos had been gathered in, they
superintended the drawing.
This took place one evening in Har-
lem store. That was where the detect
i've came in, though some people are
bold enough to say that it was Com
stock himself At all events, the
guardian OF morality, whatever his
name, thought he saw a chance for Il
grand coup, and accordingly descended
upon the store, made his way through
the interested crowd, and formally ar
rested the three justices for conducting
a lottery. The detective might have
been martyr to his zeal if blank Won
derment had not paralyzed the spec
tators and before indignation could as
sert itself the justices had mastered the
situation. A police justice is author
lied to hold court at any placs and time
that occasion may require. The de-
tective had forgotten this: but the three
Justices hadn't, and one of them having
mounted q table, opened court and sum
moned his colleagues to the bar to plead
80 the charge laid against them.
Then the spectators began TO see fun
in the episode, and when they laughed
the detective nervously tried to pass the
proceedings off as a joke--that is, the
trial part E[e insisted on the arrest,
and the justice on the bench (5able) In
sisted that he should swear in his evil
dence. This done, the prisoners made
their defense, and the presiding justice
promptly discharged them. Then he
got down, another Justice climbed upon
the table and reopened court, called the
case Of the justice who had lately been
presiding, heard evidence and defense,
and discharged the prisoner. Then the
drawing for the widows piano was re~

A Bold and Winning Trick.

YolkhovslSy, a Russian exile, while
lect,lring at Hampstead, Eng, related
desperate artifics TO which he once re-
sorted. A police official once searched
his house for compromising papers. AT
the time there was in his possession a
certain document the discovery Of which
meant serious danger not only to him
self. but also to his friends. Volkhovsky
was desperate, for it was quite certain
that the document would be found.
But daring trick saved him. He codly
handed the document to the official,
who scarcely glanced at it, and handed
it back. Thus after the most minute
search, the official, his nose blackened
with SCOT and his hair decorated with
feathers-for he had even examined the
stove-pipes and the bedding had to de-
part empty-handed.
