The miners of Colorado who have
built cabins on the mountain sides know
what q pest the small, brown wood
spider proves to be. They throw their
webs over your best clothes, cooking
utensils and in every corner where you
can get them in your eyes and mouth.
Not only that, but they will drop into the
frying pan, water bucket or upon the
table when you are eating. But nature
furnished us aremedy and friend when
she gave US the spider hawk.
The name is given by miners to q
small, steel blue wasp about three
fourths of an inch in length. He can
easily be recognized by the quick, ner-
vous stroke of his wings. The wasps build
q nest up among the rafters of your cabin
Of wood pulp or furze from the outer
coating of old dead trees. Then they
are ready for business. Every few min
utes you can see your hawk climbing up
the rafters with spider, sometimes car
rying one four or five times his own
weight.
Sometimes they get a spider 80 heavy
that they will fall many times before
they succeed in reaching their nest
They never give up, but keep on trying
till they succeed. When the spider Is
safely placed in the nest the female

a NEW OCEAN RECORD.
The City Of Paris Again Reduces the
Time Half an Hour.


New YORK, July 28.-Ths City Of
Paris, still hying the British flag, though
practically admitted to American regis
try, won back the record pennant yes
terday on her arrival at the bar at l ;02
o'clock. She hadl crossed the Atlantic
in days, 10 hours and 5s minutes, so
minutes less than the best previous trip,
that Of the Teutonic, ended on Aug, 10,
1895 days, 10 hours and 81 minutes.
The City of Paris also made new
record for days run. The best pre-
vious record was made by the Teutonic
in August last year-5i7 knots. On
this trip the City Of Paris made 519
miles on July "a and $40 miles on the
26th On each of the four full days she
did better than 900 knots, an unpre.
cedented performance. Additional in
terest is given to the record by the fact
that it ia thus once more restored to the
Inman line (now called the American
line), and is likely to be fought for more
earnestly than ever by the White Star
people, and that the Clyde ship builders
are again raised above their Irish rivals,
the makers of the Teutonic and Majestic.
Had the City of Paris maintained the
speed OF her best day through the trip
she would have crossed the ocean in B
days, hours and 32 minutes.
The latest trip of the City of Paris was
noteworthy in many ways 1t was the
first trip since she was disabled in
March, 1890, on which she seemed to be
'limbered up" again to her old style OF
progression. Her daily runs were large.
and she was obliged to slow up for four
hours and three-quarters on July 25 be.
cause Of heavy fogs. If it had not been
for this the City of Paris, it is thought,
would have lowered the record by at
least two hours

WELLlNaroNs FAMOUS BALL.
Bellies and Beaux Who Really Danced
the Dance Of Death.

the Dance of Death.
The Duke and Duchess Of Richmond
were living in fine hotel on the Rue de
la Blanchissere which stood on It's own
grounds and had fruit and flower
garden extending to the city ramparts.
Their graces moved in all the society Of
Brussels, and entertained great deal.
The duchess, who had issued $50 invita-
tions for the ball, proposed to recall
them when she heard that Napoleon's
army was advancing. But the Duke of
Wellington, to prevent alarm, requested
that the ball might take place.
Nevertheless, many English families
were frightened away from Brussels,
and post horses were kept harnessed in
the Duke Of Richmond's stable, in case
bad news from the scene of the conflict
should make it advisable for his chill
dren to be sent to Antwerp. The ma
jority Of the people of Brussels were
violent Bonapartists, and were prepared
to entertain Napoleon in great style
should he force the British army to re-
treat and enter their city in triumph.
So it was that the Duke of Wellington
and many of his officers went to the ball
after the business Of the day had been
attended to. While the merry couples
were flying around dispatch from the
front was handed to Wellington. He
asked the Duke of Richmond for a pri-
vate room where he might consult with
some of his generals who were present,
The duchess dressing room was the only
convenient room safe from intrusion.
Candles were hastily lighted on the
dressing table, at which Wellington sat
with map before him, and having ex-
planned certain points to his staff they
all rejoined the company. They left the
house before 10 o'clock and succeeded
in doing SO without attracting any at
tention. Very few, if any, of the
dancers guessed how near at hand was
the crisis which was to decide the fate
of Europe, and it never entered the
heads of the young girls that some of
their partners were dancing the "dance
of death" ."-Manchester Times.

The kaleidoscope is of wonderful as
sistance in geometrical drawing, and
people who suppose that this little toy
is of no use will probably be surprised
to learn that the greatest portion of the
geometrical designs employed in art and
architecture are copied by the artist
from the figures produced by the kaleid-
oscope. The instruments employed are
somewhat larger than the toys sold in
the shops, and some Of them are fast
ened upon stands in such way as will
enable the craftsman to retain his in
strumont in the same position for a con-
siderable length of time, and thus give
him an opportunity to make copies Of
the figures produced.-St Louis Globe

A Madman Fatally Attacks a Priest
with a Razor.

DURoEos, July 2s.-While mass was
being celebrated in the cathedral yes
terday small man entered. He ran up
the altar steps to the priest, caught him
by the vestments, drew a razor and
drew it across his face Some of the
worshippers ran to the rescue. Two men
secured the priests assailant, but before
they could restrain him he had drawn
the razor gcross the priests throat He
then turned on the rescuers and slashed
one OF them in the neck and the other in
the arm. Both let go and the man ran
down the middle aisle. Near the door
al old peasant woman caught him by
the arm and dragged him to the floor,
where she held him until q policeman
came to her aid and arrested him. The
priest will probably die. The two men
who tried to rescue him are severely
wounded, but will recover, When
asked his motive the assassin merely
said that ths priest and archbishop were
not fit to live because they deceived the
people. The police say that he la eithas
an anarchist or madman.

DUBLIN, July 2S.--In addressing

ahe Nationalists were in reality labor
members of parliament. In Ireland
they had, secured the,greatest triumphs
~ Che history of theI labor world, and
fhey were now ready and willing to
help the labor party of Great Britain to
obtain similar results from the Tory
elasses. Mr.. Davitt's words were cheered.
They apparently were intended to indi-
cate plainly to ..s, the labor t mem6srs
tionalists would support the labor pro-
gram if by.so doing they could make
sure of the labor members to vote
through thick and thin for home rule.
