Upon one occasion two gallants who were
paying attentions in the same quarter
rushed savagely upon each other and
fought for twenty-five minutes, during
one round remaining clinched for six min
utes. The combatants appeared tired at
the close of the battle, but after a short
rest were perfectly well and fought num-
ber of times subsequently. Indeed these
combats seem to be quite as harmless as
the average French duel, for at another
time eight or ten specimens of the very
quarrelsome Dendryphantes capitalus were
put in box, and after two weeks of hard
fighting there was not one wounded war
rior to be found.
If the male courts too persistently, the
female eats him. If there are any mon
archs in spiderdom corresponding to the
king of Dahomey, one of Professor Peck
hams spiders would be a valuable acqui
sition to his army of amazons. The order
to which the specimen belongs is known to
science as Phidippus morsitans. One day,
being in particularly bad humor, this
virago sprang upon two promising young
members of the so called sterner sex and
killed them, although they had offered her
only the merest civiiities

SPIDERS LOVE AND HATE,
An Observer Tells About Their Wars and
WoOings.

Love and jealousy are fruitful sources of
tragedy, especially among spiders Every
reader knows by this time that among the
superior animals the affections and pas
Bions play much the same part they do
with human beings, but it remained for
Professor G. w. Peckham and wife, of Mil
waukee, to give us all the details of spider
courtship, and truly it is wonderful
They are governed in their preferences
for one another by aesthetic considerations
similar to those which prevail among hui
man beings, the handsomest, the bravest
or the strongest of any given number of
suitors having decidedly the best chances
Of winning favor.
With those animals among whom the
question is determined, as in the lnightly
days of old, by wager of battle, there is Of
course no room for dispute, but with in
sects like the butterfly and the spider,
where a more civilized form of courtslip
is observed, the point is not so easily set
tied. Butterflies for instance, are not
provided with any weapons of offense or
defense, and while the spiders are formi-
dable to other animals they can produce
little effect upon each other.

in reducing the price of pork. The

Facts As to Chilli.

The war-ike aspect that relations
with Chill are assuming gives interest
to facts in regard to her population
and revenues The population of Chilli
or Chile, according to the Handbook of
American Republics, February, 1891.
which states that it is from official re-
turns of 1889, is 1865, ,92e. This does
not include an estimate of $4,000 abor-
igines and an estimate of about 500 $50
of the population from which no re-
turns were received, which would raise
the total to s,ll5.sl5. This is much
less population than most persons, on
being asked to state it, would guess or
estimate, assuming that they have no
accurate knowledge on the subject,
and this is probably true. The same
authority gives the area of Chile as
29S, $50 English square miles; the value
of its exports at $50 ,0o6. .42l and of its
imports at $50. .2S1 oil, or total value of
foreign commerce at Sl1s,25s, ,sS2. Its
yearly revenue (1ss9) is 54 sos AGA pesos.
A pesos is worth .912 in U. S. money,
which would indicate an annual rev.
enue of SAG, ,9sO,759 The idea of Chile
doubling up her fists aud showing fight
against the United States with its pop
ulation of 2,4s0, $40; area of 8, sol .404
English square miles, a foreign COM
merce of Sl,747 500, ,4O6 and yearly
revenue of S45s, 544 ,22SSS, seems rather
ridiculous.

The Milton Globe is too narrow
minded to even consider the liberal
views of the Commandments
upon the court house question. The
Globe would answer the question in
the negative whether the taxpayers
think otherwise or not. 1t is due
the Globe, however, to remark that
its views are the natural production
of the presumption that its judg.
ment is in all things infallible and
much superior to that of any other
property owner and tax payer in the
county-hence its intolerance.

A BRIGHTER OUTLOOK.

Reasons For Eelief in Higher Wheat
Prices.
Farmers who have held their wheat
for a higher price can be confident of
being on the right side, if the present
export rate keeps up The receipts at
primary points are rapidly dwindling
to the figures of year ago, while the
export demand keeps steady, and it is
several million bushels more each week
than it was a year ago. 1t will be in
August before the first Of the new crop
is available and long before that time
the American surplusswill be limited
in amount. Wheat opened with a bet
ter demand in Liverpool the first of the
week and has continued so. It is claim
ed by many that wheat worth a dollar
bushel in this country would not af-
feet the European demand, and that
the grainis considered cheapby foreign
buyers, After Feb. 1, a duty of 10 cents
a bushel is to be taken off of wheat in
Germany, and that will undoubtedly
induce heavy buying in this country.
Early in the winter the German mar
ket was largely overstocked will, Rus
sian grain dealers, who knew that the
prohibition ukase was to be made, and
who shipped all their surplus wheat
out of Russia, because they could get
better prices for it abroad than home,
where the peasantry had nothing to
buy with. The German people want
good bread and prefer American wheat
to the India wheat, because the latter
has less gluten in it. The Russian
wheat is very similar to that from the
Northwest, in this country, and is
therefore largely bought in Germany.
The condition Of the winter wheat in
America is not reported as very favor.
able, although of course it is too early
to predict what tho yield will be. The
extreme cold weather. the coldes that
has been known for years in the middle
states, is very liable to freeze out much

THE TARIFF AND THE FARMER

THE TARIFF AND THE FARMER
For almost a century the farmers
of the United States have been wait
ing as humbly and patiently as the
Syro-Phenician woman for the
crumbs to fall from the masters
table. After SO long a time they
are certainly justified in calling upon
the protective policy to give an ac-
count of its stewardship. The pro-
tectionists of the last generation,
like Clay and Greely, were doubt
less honest in their convictions, and
had plausible foundations for their
arguments. The conditions, how
ever, have materially changed since
then, and the farmer should take
careful note of his new surround
ings. To aid him in his conclusions
l will try to argue in this paper
from his standpoint.
The infant industries of our
fathers are now full grown men, and
we have become the greatest manu-
featuring country in the world. a
few of the protected industries are
using old machinery, some of them
buying the cast off machinery of
England to set up here, thus robbing
the workman of the extra wages he
could make on new machines and
us of cheap goods. But in the un-
protected industries where -competi-
ton is free and our manufacturers
have to use the best tools, we can
compete with any or all other ma.
tions. The pauper labor argument
will answer no longer, for our work.
men in the protected industries are
receiving no more but even less fol
the same amount Of work than thei,
European rivals.
Greeley's argument for a home
market was, forty years ago, well
worthy Of consideration. But today
the conditions have SO changed as
to make such an argument valueless
