There are enough cases Of the grip in New

destined to third extensive visitation of the
malady this winter, especially in view of the fact
that other places already suffering severely
The doctors do not know much about the cause

they frankly confess their ignorance One thing.

THINKING ALOUD.

Peculiar Adventure of IN Earl in n Car
ri.Eo-iIis Own Medicine.
The habit of talking aloud was pc
culiarity OF one of the carls of Dudley,
and Of this habit an amusing ancctlotc
is told i'll the Sheffield Telegraph. Lord
Dudley, being invited to the house of u
friend, had ordered his carriage at an
early hour, having some miles to travel
before lie could obtain his accustomed
rcposc. TO his modification, after re-
pcated inquiries for Lord Dudlcy's car
riugc, it had not arrived.
One of the guests, seeing how much
his lordship was disconnected by the
event, very politely offered him Il scat
in his.
The gentleman in question had to
pass his lordship's house on his return
home, and, though he was almost Il
stranger to Lord Dudley, his rank and
position i'll the country were, of course,
we'll known to him. Nevertheless, they
had not been seated in the carriage
more than twenty minutes when the
peer, who had up to that moment main
tanned most perfect silence, observed
in low but distinctly audible tone of
voice:
- 'NAJ ''OiiI bNCSpISt OILcr.
l don't know the man. 1t was civil,
certainly; but the worst is, suppose
must ask him to dinner"
lie then rclapsed into his former state
OF taciturnity, when, after few min
utcs, the gentleman, pretending to be
afflicted with the same failing and i'm
itating his lordship's tone, observed:
Perhaps he'll think did it to make
his acquaintance. Why, 1 would have
done the same to any farmer on his
estate. / hope he won't think it neces-
sary to ask Inc to dinner, for shan't
accept his invitation"
Lord Dudley listened to him with
earnest interest, Immediately co,nprc-
hcndcd the joke which he himself had
provoked, offered his hand with much
hearty good will to his companion,
making every proper apology for his
involuntary rudencss, and from that
night the travellers became inscparable
friends.

BREAKING IN NoRTHERNERs.

SIN New Orleans formerly" said
lady from Louisiana who accompanied
the congressional party that visited Dc
trOit Il short time ago to Il Free Press
reporter, 1.-The old traditions of French
society prevailed. Young women never
went out in the street before they were
sixteen years old without an escort.
They never went without their mothers
to the thcater nor riding, nor were they
allowed to sit with young men in the
parlor unless their mothers were pres
cnt. / remember young fellow from
Baltimore invited young woman to
the opera. She said she would be most
happy to go. When he came in Il car
riagc her father and mother came down
stairs and got into tho carriage with
her. He was surprised, but supposed
they wero going on their own account.
On arriving at the theatcr he found that
they did not intend to pay for their
tickets, and he had not money enough.
Luckily, he saw n friend from whom he
borrowed, but you can imagine his NOR
LITIGATION ct being caught in such o
scrapc. lie invited no more young wom-
en- to the opera. He couldn't afford to
take the whole family. Another northern
gentleman asked n young lady to ride
and went around to the house with n
horse and buggy. Where's your car
riage?' asked the young woman.
There it is, said he. But that won't
hold US ALL she exclaimed mamma
and you and mel! So he had to go ana
get n carriage and driver. AS he had a
salary of only six hundred dollars II
year he found this sort of thing too cx-
pensive. BESIDES, he never got any fun

listening to every word he said"

file applications for building permits
AS soon as the contractors and builders
come to understand that thcy are liable

permit, l am sure we shall have no
further trouble in knowing just what is
going on throughout the city in the way

Mr.. Coleman grants permits for all

SILK FROM SPIDER WEB.
And from the Output of other Animals
Besides silk Worms.

And from the Output of Other Animals
BESIDES silk Worms.
There arc Il number of animal fibers
other than that OF the silk worm which
have been tested ut various times in
weaving. Practical attempts have been
made by different persons to weave the
web of the spider, but the spiders web
Is SO much finer than the web of the
silk worm that such efforts have at
tanned no mercantile Importance.
The web of the spider bears the same
proportion to the web of the silk worm
in strength chat tho latter does to Il
broonsticlS, explains the Cincinnati
Commercial. The spider makes thou
sands of strands. In spite of all the
impcdiments in the way of weaving il
many yards of spiders silk have been
woven, and an entire dress of this silk
was presented to Queen Victoria a num-
Der OF years ago, when experiments
were conducted on somewhat extern
sive scale in weaving the web OF one of
the tropical spiders, which promise
more than do orr ordinary spiders of
the temperate zone.
but the experiment was finally aban-
doncd. Another creature which has
furnished exhibits of silk to curiosity
hunters is ''pinna," that weird silk
weaver of the ocean, which weavcs IL
byssus of sillScn threads by which it at
taches its shell to the rocks This is
huge nollusll which is found in the
Mediterranean. The silk of the pima
cannot become of practical Importance
because of the difficulty of promulgat-
ing the creature or of obtaining suffi-
cicnt material from it.
Another difficulty in the way of the
practical use of this silk of the sea lies
in coloring it. Like most things of the
ocean, it resists all efforts to dye it.
