STREET CAR MAIL SERVICE.
A Tral Of tbs System Has Bstn Made
in St. Llni,.

Toe first official trial of street railway
mail service with especially built car was
made in st. Louis. The car resembles very
c.osely in contraction and appliances the
regular railway mail car, and is to run
regularly over ihs st. Louis Suburban Line
which penstrstes the most thickly settled
portion Of the city.
The car carries distributors for the D oper
asserting OF mails pickle up at various sub
stations, the raIsying points Of carriers along
the line, and thus prevents the sen ing 10
the main Office Of letters intended for points
further cut on the mali line The tr D de-
monstrated that the new service will not
only expedite the delivery of local ma j, but
give additional accelerity In the livery Of
mails collected 10th in and outside he city.
Under the system the same men are able TO
do more, with less labor and greater rap dity.
The territory covered t.y the new service l.
estimated at one-six b Of the city, an it is
expected other railway lines " i'll have the
same arrang emenis, hen the result must be
marvellous Improvement in the local mail
service
This Is plan which has been pushed at
the instance Of Postmester-General Wanna
maker, who will endeavor to secure its adop.

established.

TWO, SIDES OF THE STREET.
ON ONE SIDE.

ON ONE SIDE.
The house was not so shabby as were many
on the street;
Its occupants were c'eanly, with fair
amount to eat.
A widow and her baby hal the second
story L.
And dainty, fine embroi leries the widow
wrought to sell.
The bowling wind rushed roun thu house
and found the easements thin;
He ratified blind an windo~-pane an then
went whistling in;
He blew upon the mothers han Is till they
were stiff an numb;
He puffed the ragged carpet up where baby
sucked his thumb.
One icv day the fire went out. the 'broiderie,
would not sell;
The little mother an 1 her baby sbivercd in
the l.,
Until, one miinigbt, D,ath stepped in and
took them both away
To fields OF eni less summer, where the fierc.
winds never stray.
on THE OTHER SIDE.
The house was quite the hanisomest of any
on the street.
It's mistress was a comedy maid, with bank
account compls.e;
Her home was like garden, full of warmth
and flower perfumes,
And Summers gentle spirit tiolueI through
the radiant rooms.
The mistress looked across the way were
Imply side by side
Hung rusty black and dIngy white to show
that two had die
"a pity" quoth she, signing, smoothing out

But such folks are so careless, they are
always taking cold
"a wonder if Ia better get that necklacs

So drove away the lady, with her shining,
gold-filled purse.
Nor thought of two that followed her within

A subscriber living In Gainesville, Fla. :
sends US for Identification white thread
like substance which he states fell TO the
earth in large quantities during rain.
A sample of the material had already
been forwarded by another person to the
Smithsonian Institution and was thence
sent to DR.. George Marx, OF the Depart
ment OF Agriculture, who makes the
following repart:
"The sample Of white substance which
fell In large quantities IN Gainesville,
Fla, has been handed me by the botan.
ist Of this department for examination.
"This very interesting material Is
without doubt product OF the spinning
glands of spider, or rather thousands
of spiders. The chemical reagencics
prove it Is not a vegetable matter, but
animal, and the fact that strands can DO
dissolved almost infinitely into minute
threads, and further, the great longth
OF the strands, hundreds Of yards, causes
the inference that only a spider could
manufacture it.
''The species Of this spider is unknown
to me, but it is not improbable that it
might be a Nephila, very large orb
weaver, which abounds IN the southern
part Of the United States aud the West
Indies.
1.-THE young spiders OF many genera
avail themselves Of their spinning pro-
ducts to migrate from their birthplace
by floating through the air to localities
at great distance. Should rain moisten
these weavlngs, the spider web becomes
too heavy TO float in the air, aud
sticking together in great masses,
falls from above.
"a similar occurrence wasrepOrted 70
me from Vallicita, Calayeras County,
California, November 16, 1891. II has
occurred there for the last four years Ia
October aud November"
This is the first time this phenomenon
has occurred 10 the South The web q

New YORK, December 2.-R. g. Dun
& Co.'S weekly review of trade:
The beginning Of gold exports In No
vember and their expected continuance
this week, the death Of Mr.. Gould aud
unfavOrsble reports from the silver
conference affected some specu-
lative markets. There are also some
symptoms Of diminished activity in
business, and while manufacturers are
generally occupied with orders taken
some time ago, there is more complaint
that new orders do not come forward as
was expected.
At PiitSbUrg pig iron IS slightly weak
er, with more eagerness TO sell, but fin
ished iron is in good demand and all the
mills fsirly well employed. Trade in
glass is large in volume, though at low
prices. Al Cleveland the dry goods
trade is excellent and other business
fair.
Iron is weaker with pressure to sell
some Southern brands. Copper has
sold largely at - to 12l( and lead is
lower. Coal is fairly active and blum
inOus is scarce and dear. In dry goods
the season mas been one Of unprecedent-
ed activity. A general boom and ad-
vance appears ia cotton.
The business failures occurring
throughout the country during the last
seven days number s69, as compared
with 200 last week. For the correspond
ing week Of last year the figures were
33O.
