The nlssatisfied Salesman.

1t is customary fo- the commercial trav-
elers to visit the home office of the institu-
tions they represent about the first of the
year, and renew their old contract with
their firm or MAKE new one. If they have
done a successful years business they are
likely to call their employers attention to
the fact, and hint that an advance in sal
airy would be the proper thing. If they
are good statesmen, and their requests are
moderate, their wishes are usually grant
ed. A representative Of a Chicago hard
ware house got a raise in salary the past
week When he suggested the prOpriety
of such a step to his employer the latter
remarked:
why, we gave vou a big raise year
ago" 81 know that" replied the young
man, land want another now. l think
am worth to you all | am asking" do
you, indeed?' responded his employer.
and further remarked, "Ill tell you hon

are never satisfied, and that you are one of
that number" True" said the traveller,
land never intend to be. You will, sir,
pardon me for saying if you had been salts

The Longest Funeral.

Which public funeral in England has
been attended by the greatest number OF
persons?
That of the Duke of Wellington, the vic
tor of Waterloo who was buried in st.
PauPs cathedral on the 18th of November,
1852, when a multitude of all ranks, es-
timated at a million and half persons,
were congregated along the line of the
route, distance of three miles, to witness
and share in the imposing spectacle.
On the night of the nth of November the
coffin was taken to the Horse Guards from
Chelsea, where the body had laid in state.
Bye O'Clock next morning-the morning
of the funeral-the troops were mastering,
the Duke of Cambridge in command. The
funeral cara six wheeled one-dragged
by twelve horses, was cast from guns capt
ured in the battles recorded on both sides
of it. The procession was so long that af-
ter the Rifles, who led the way, had started,
it was an hour and half before the car
started. and half an hour later before the
extreme rear moved.
Eighty-three Chelsea pensioners took
part in it. One hundred and twenty thou
sand people were gathered in Pail Mall
The tiers of seats, rising range above range
under the dome and in the transept of St.
Paul's, held g, 900 spectators of the highest
rank in England and the continent The
dukes coffin was lowered through the
floor and rested on the top of Nelson's
tomb until the 18th of April, 1858, when it
was placed in it's present sarcophagus. -

That thou art done with earthly pain and sin.
Somewhere within his ken thou hast place.

Somewhere thy soul sees higher heights To

And somewhere still, there may be valleys dim

FanCi.ul DeriyatiOns.

The San Angelo CTex,) Enterprise says:
THE term 'greaser,' as applied to Mexi-
cans of the lower class, was not started, as
many suppose, as Specification of disre-
SECT, but was applied by witty war CORE
spondent in 1916, just after the battle OF
Pala Alto, to those MeXicans who had
forsworn allegiance to their own country
and in preference to fighting taken the
task OF loading and unloading provision
trains, which then consisted mostly OF
bacon. In this way they gained the name
of the 'xreaser brigade" Whatever the
term implies, it is much older than The
Enterprise supposes. 1t was known to the
United States volunteers who came to
what is now the Indian territory in 1881,
at the end of the Black Hawk war. The
story that the name Meverick, applied to
yearling cattle. was given on account OF
the head OF the san Antonio family of
that name is equally fabulous. 1t was in
use in Louisiana before thai state was a

How the Spider Builds.

Watch a common house spider spin its
web. Il seems to take pains, before begin
ming, to select a spot where there are
chances Of obtaining plumber and where il
will be secure. II then discharges little
drop of glutiuOus fluid, and creeps up the
wall, joining the thread from one wall to
the other The first thread thus formed is
drawn tight and fixed at each end with
other threads. 1t is upon this outer thread
that the durability of the whole fabric de-
pends. The webs foundation completed
;he spider next makes a number o threads
parallel to the first, and then eros hem
with other threads, the sticky substance OF
which they are formed serving to bind
them, when newly made, to each other.
1t now commences to double and treble
the threads that border its web, securing
the ed rs as it does 50. Lastly, it forms 8
kind of tunnel with webbing. This is tt
serve as a retreat where it can conceal it
self from it's enemies, and also from its
prey, and is generally placed in the angle
of the walls. When the spiders work is
done it often happens that the approach OF
some large animal or the passage of the
housemaid's broom will destroy in a min
ute the labor of days. In this case as sooI
as the danger is passed away the spider pa
tiently begins to repair the web.
For this purpose she spider is provided
with a store of the glutinous matter OF
which the web is made When possible
the spider prefers the mending business
