FlNER THAN SILK.
4,O00,0 900 Strands OF a Spiders Web to
Equal a Hair.

1000, 900 Strands OF a Spiders Web to
Equal a Hair.
LAS fine as silk" is a common phrase
TO typify extreme ineness or delicacy of
texture. But if you want a smile that
will discount that one. say las fine as a
SPIDERS web" There is nothing of tex
lille kind so fine as that. The strand spun
by a spider is as much smaller than a
thread of silk as the latter is smaller than
a telegraph pole. This seems like exag-
z eration when you casually look at the
spiders workmanship and then at the
silk work. But you never saw a single
strand in the SPIDERS thread. The strands
are SO fine hat you couldn't see them
with the naked eye. What you really
see when you look at the spiders delicate
thread Is a cable composed OF thousands
of strands, n the way the little animal
makes this cable is one Of natures great
est wonders.
If you LOOK closely at a spider during
its business hours o viii see that its
thread comes from a circular spot near
the extremity. In this spot are from
four TO six knobs, the number depending
upon the kind of spider. IL you happen
TO have a particularly good pair OF eyes
you can distinguish these knobs. Each
of the knobs is full of minute holes, so
small that a good microscope is necessary
in order to see them. Through these
holes the delicate strands are spun.
About an eighth of an incl from the
holes the strands are Joined together and
the result is the SPIDERS thread, with
which all Of nc are so familiar.
One authority on this subject, Reau-
muir. calculated that it would take 900
spider strands to occupy a space equal 10
the point of a needle, while another, Leu
wenweck, estimated that it would take
Z, 000. 900 of them 10 make n Thread as large
as a hair. -PtttSburg Telegraph.

IL Looks Like Speaker Mullone.
There is every reason to believe that
Mr.. Mullone will be nominated for the
Speakership by the Democratic eau
Gus tonight. This will be a wise and
popular conclusion for the Demo
cratic Assemblymen to arrive at. They
will please the party in the strongest
Democratic section of the State, and
they will conform to the traditions OF
the Legislature, which prescribe that,
except in extraordinary cases, a first
term man shall not be chosen to pre-
side over his seniors.
Withal, the caucus by selecting Mr..
Mullone will secure for the Assembly
a courageous and able presiding Off
GER, one who will be fair to friend and
foe alike; one who will neither fear to
secure all proper advantages to his
W party nor to render to the minor
ity all the courtesy and privilege that
is their due.
Mr.. Mullone is a man Of unblem-
ished repute; he is a man of sub
stance, he has skill an experience in
public affairs. He is the man for the
Office, and we hope and believe his
colleagues will chose him to fill it,.

At the end Of a busy day it is often
a painful reflection that little or moth
ing has been accomplished, in spite
of all our pains. Heart and brain and
hands have been filled to thei utmost.
There have been no idle minutes in
which to sit down and rest, yet we
cannot show what work has been
done, what business finished that is
not to be recommended on the NOR
row.
Al such times there may be comfort
in the thought that there has been
inward growth of no less Importance,
although its results canno be IS ac-
curately weighed and measured as
can the commoner duties of life.
A day is not wasted OH which, amid
the friction of innumerabie petty
trials, we learn lessons OF patience.
Time in which we study q gracious
forbearance is not spent in vain, al
though we had planned To spend it in
labor which would have showed their
finer achievements. 1t is not even in
vain that we conquer a rising anger
before we can quietly begin the study.

A New Industry.

The Hertfordshire Canada Stan
ddrd says that a fundamentally in
clined young farmer, who lives in an
isolated district with a colony of his
own sex, wrote to a friend in New
York to select a suitable girl and send
her out to him. An attractive dam
sci was sent out to him, and he was so
pleased with her that he invited his
friends to meet her the night before
the wedding. The party was SO struck
with admiration that he was offered
$50 for his interest in the maiden,
which he accepted, and another man
led her to the alter the next day. The
farmer at once wrote for another girl,
and m was quickly dispatched.
This time he was offered a bonus of
$50 besides his outlay, and another
man took the prize. A third time he
wrote and a third time a young
maiden arrived, but, though besought
with offers, he refused to part with
her and was speedily married.

pEATH OF sRNAToR PLuMR.

AT 6:45 Sunday morning Senator
Plumb was stricken with spoplexy.
At 11:3O he was a corpse. He has
served the people of the state of Kan
sas as a Representative in the United
States Senate continuously since
1875. He was well known for years
as one of the most pushing, hard
working members of the Senate. His
death may well be attributed to over
work.
His remains will be taken to his
home at Emporis for interment ac-
companled by committees from the
Senate and the House Of Representa-
tives. The Senate committee will be
PETER, Dolph, Paddock, Ransom and
Pasco; the House committee, Funs-
ton, Dockery, Ssyers, Breckenridge,
Henderson, Cogswell and Besl, rep
resenting the states Of Kansas, Mis-
souri,, Texas, Kentucky, Iowa. Masss-
chusetts and Arkansas.
Senator Plumb's successor will be
appointed by Governor Humphrey to
serve during the present Congress.
The death of Senator Plumb will
add to the interest that will be taken
in the election next fall, as the eleC-
tion of a United States Senator will
devolve upon the Legislature elected
at that time.

SENATOR PETER.

The Atchison Daily Champion may
Justly be regarded as the leading Re-
publican paper in the state Of Kansas.
Il is no friend Of the Peoples party,
but cannot be classed with the ma
chine organs which represent the
worst elements in the Republican
party. AS an honorable exception to
the general rule of subjecting the
representatives of the Peoples party
70 Misrepresentation and abuse, we
take pleasure in reproducing in The
ADVOCATE the following article from
the Champion:
As one of our exchanges-the Kansas City
Star-says: "Senator PETER is not bril-
liant man, perhaps, but he is honorable.
faithful and industrious, and he will be re-
Spected at Washington as SuCh."
That il 10 true the senator is full Of vaga-
ries, and in some things quite cranky, but
he is q man of unblemished private charaO-
ter. He is not liar; he Is not a promise
breaker; be never made dollar dishonesty
in his life; he never prCHted by land, cattle,
mining or other deals brought to his notice
through official position; he never black
mailed corporations and sold his influence
for cash consideration; he never pretended
TO be q prohibitionist and at the same time
kept himself pickled in rotgut; he never
Rambled for money; he is not poker
player; he is not a genteel bummer--a
rounder; he 10 not an adulterer or liber-
tine; he is a sober, upright, truth-speaking,
honorable, high-minded gentleman; and,
intellectually, he is far superior to many
who are ridiculing and maligning him, and
when it comes to true manhood, all ques-
sions Of politics aside, there is not one of
the entire horde Of brawling assailers who
10 worthy to unloose the latchet of his worn
and dusty shoes.
The Champion, while widely disagreeing
with Senator PETER in his financial and
economic vagarles, and while thoroughly
disapproving of many Of his past public ut
terances, deems IL a high privilege, in the
spirit Of comm IN fairness and decency, to
cay these things Of man whom the farm
ers Of Kansas, in conjunction with thou
sands of other good people, have seen ht to
send to Washington as their junior United
States Senator.

A ONE-sIDED DOCUMENT.

A careful reading of the presidents
message leaves the impression on Che
mind that if it is remarkable for any
thing at all, it is for what it leaves out
as to existin conditions rather than
for what it reveals. The president
indorses the tariff humbug which
places the burden of taxation onIsthe
poor while it exempts the rich in the
same proportion. He grows eloquent
over the immense products of the
farm, but conceals the fact that every
bushel of grain has been produced at
a loss to the farmer, Notwithstanding
the unprecedented foreign demand.
While treating of the American hog,
he might have included the Tewkes-
bury system of American Hogracy,
which sold the bodies of psupers for
dissection and tanned their hides to
make fine gloves for American dudes.
While lecturing Russia for its treat
ment of the Jews he might have told
us how the Jew money power has
financially conquered the United
States and would eventually own
the whole world if it was permitted
to retain its present control of the f.
nances Of the world. This power has
the control of the bonds issued by
the late Southern Confederacy, and
expects to secure decision by the
United States supreme court which
will make these bonds, including
interest, a lawful debt against
the United States. The president
might have told us how 57,0OO,OO0
acres Of land are now being stolen
from settlers in New Mexico, under
the guise of Mexican claims on lands
that were purchased from Texas
and on which Mexico has not had the
shadow of a clam since Texas
achieved her independence in 1886.
Or he might have explained the SER
vice that is being rendered to Ameri-
can capitalism by using the military
to oust the Tulare colony in Califor-
MIA In fact, there are a great many
things left out of the message, to
which the president might very ap-
propriately have called the attention
Of Congress and the people at large.
