The King of spiders.

Ceylon is the home of the largest spe-
cies of spider that has yet been made the
subject of chronological investigation.
This web spinning monster lives in the
most mountainous districts of that rug
ged island and places his trap-not a
gossamer snare of airy ightness, but a
huge net of yellow silk from to 10 feet
in diameter-across the chasms and fis-
sures in the rocks. The supporting guys
Of the gigantic net, which in all cases is
almost strong enough for a hammock,
are from 8 70 20 feet in length (as condi-
tions and circumstances may require),
made of series of twisted webs, the
whole being the diameter of lead pen
Gil.
AS might be imagined, this gigantic
silken trapis not set for mosquitoes, flies
and pestiferous gnats, but for birds,
gaudy moths and elegantly painted but
terfies, some Of the latter having a
spread Of wing equal to that of a robin
or bluejay. Some extra fine skeletons
of small birds, lizards, snakes, ETC., have
been found in these webs, with every
vestige Of flesh picked from them.
The owner and maker of these queer
silk traps is spider with body aver
aging A inches in width and 9 inches in
length and with legs 0 to II inches from
body to terminal claw. Some are spot
ted, others red with greenish gold abdo-
men and legs.-St. Louis Republic.

skIrts and Feminine Aetlvltr.

Curiously, just as the dress reformers
are attempting TO show the tyranny of
the skirt came Loie Fuller and the skirt
dancers, and now the Frantz family.
The theory of the reformers is that the
skirt. by lettering the movements Of
women, has ever prevented the accom-
plishment of great things. The skirt
dancers, under yards of extra stuff, are
frislKier than ever and point their toes
at the very stars. The Frantz family
wear demure black satin gowns to the
feet, as primly cut as a Quaker wild
ow's.
When lady can turn so somersaults
without stopping and come mp smiling
without turning hair. or run up and
down two superimposed men as a cat
runs up and down tree, it seems that
no lack of achievement ON wOman's part
can be properly ascribed TO her dress.
Lt Is interesting TO notice how essentially
feminine are the soft, feline, graceful
movements as well as the dress of these
entertaining women.--New York Even

A ROBUST DEhUCRAT.

The Welcome reporter has had the
pleasure OF lhe acquaintance OF Captain
EKbert, Marshal Grady's new appoin-
tee 10 the place Of bailiff Of the United
States district and circuit courts, for
more than twelve years.
Captain Egbert was pioneer Of
North Dakota, the firstmayOFO Of Fargo.
an Office to which he was repeatedly
elected, fameus for bis robust Demoera-
cy, enterprise and generosity, and
loved by every acquaintance. Twelve
years ago Captain f. ebert could have
left the North Dakota metropolis with
500. 900 In his jeans. but like every cit
izen of that then prosperous region be-
lieved he had struck UGOpia-the Eden
of a newly discovered world. CoDse-
quently the captain invested in every
enterprise that promi 'ed either profit to
himself or benefit TO the country. be
placed money In every public institu-
ton wide-s wake, intelligent, open
hearted, progressive people suggested.
Public halls, an opera house, elegant
hotel, educational concerns, street rail-
was, waterwOrks, electric lights, subsid-
lea 10 railroads and kindred proposition
were sure of succor from his plethOric
purse, and an addition to the town was
never SO distant from the business CEN
ter that Captain Egbert did not possess
goOdly portion of it. At his own ex-
,pense he planted miles Of shade trees
along the streets of the city and used
his money lavishly to build up and
beautify the town. One OF his invest
ments was the establishment of a daily
Democratic newspaper, which drained
away large portion Of his surplus
cash. Finally wheat, the one previous
profitable product OF North Dakota, not
only declined In price to below the pro-
fit line, and added drouth season after
season, abetted by furious winds which
actually blew the sprouting grain ont of
the mellow soil, Impoverished that en-
tire section OF country, and Captain Egg
bert went down In the maelstrom that
destroyed scores Of other men. He bat
tied, however, with fate so long as he
had penny left, believing that the
visiting calamities would pass away
and prosperity return, but his hopes
were never realized. Now, at the age
Of "a, though looking less than go, the
captain is first officially recognized by
the national Democracy. He deserves
the place given him by Mr.. Grady.

The Waterville Times OF September
lst says the recent severe storms
changed the bright prospects of good
crop OF hops Of excellent quality to the
certainty of a decreased yield of much
poorer grade. Even on the poles that
were not blown down the vines
were SO whipped about and the hops so
bruised that the result cannot be other
wise. Adding to this the continuous
wetting that the hops were subjected
TO and the very hot weather that pre-
vailed, made the conditions the mOst
unfavorable possible. The Humphrey
yards suffered the most aud so quickly
did mould set in that maAy of them
were nearly ruined. Some had been
picked before the last storm Of Tuesday
and were thus saved Dut others will
not be picked, 50 worthless have they
become. The only salvation for the
late yards was bright, cool weather
after the storm aud fortunately such
has been the weather since Tuesday.
At present while there Is some mould
Ia the late yards aud many red and
brown hops, owing TO tue branches be-
ing broken, still they are keeping better
than was expected and with continu-
ance OF favorable weather, the result
will not be as disastrous As at first sup
posed. Regarding the yield, many re-
port that their yards are coming down
fully as heavy as was expected, not
withstApding broken branches from
many hills are thrown out.
There has been very few sales here
lately. A Ave bale lot Of Humphrey
was bought here yesterday for 25 cents.
They were for immediate shipment
abroad aud therefore the price is not
fair criterion Of the market. Another
lot was sold for Is oenta. The price OF
'o2 hops stlIl remains at about 20 cents,

The C,sa and .he Sea Anemone.

Some crustaceaI;; hide their shells un-
der another sea creature, apparently to
protect themselves. A certain hermit
crab found in the Mediterranean sea is
fond of sea anemone, and it is unusual
to find shell which hermit has chosen
for his house unprotected by his anemone
friend. A gentleman relates that he
captured and put in a large aquarium
one Of these sea anemones on shell in
which was hermit crab who seemed al
ready to have outgrown his house.
"All went well for awhile" he writes,
'Then the hermit grew so large that he
had to leave his shell and abandon his
friend. An hour after the hermit left
his old shell looked at the aquarium
again and was surprised to find the sea
anemone on top of the new shell which
the hermit crab had adopted as his dwell
ing. They both seemed very well salts
fed.
How had the anemone come there?
soon found out. l cautiously lifted the
shell to the surface of the water and let
the anemone fall to the bottom of the
aquarium. Then put the shell down
near it.
Hardly had the crustacean touched
bottom before he seized the anemone
with one claw, then withtwo, and saw
at once what he intended to do.
"With great care he went to work to
replace the anemone on the shell. He
found the anemone upside down, and he
took great pains to set it upright again.
Then he grasped it firmly with two
claws and raised it and placed it on the
shell. For IL minutes he remained per-
fectly motionless, pressing it firmly ON
to the shell all the time. Then he very
cautiously took away first one claw and
then the other.
II was pleased to see that when he
moved the sea anemone remained in
place as firmly fixed as the energetic
little crab could wish"

FALSE MoDesTY A CRIME.

The Awful Responsibility That DevOlves
Upon Fathers and Mothers.
The majority of parents and teachers
assume frightful responsibility in re-
framing from making known to the
youth Of both sexes the terrible conse-
quences of sexual vice Vast numbers
Of boys are allowed by their fathers to
go ont into the world subject to over
powering temptations ON every side
without a word of warning or of in
struction upon this vital subject. The
mothers of girls are almost equally
guilty in this respect.
/ say guilty deliberately, for l esteem
it crime beside which many so called
crimes are innocence itself. There are
in every community debased women
who seek to lure boys to destruction, and
we send out our innocent sons to meet
them without arming them with that
knowledge which is their only safety;
without that salutary fear which even a
slight acquaintance with the terrible and
farreaching effects of vice would inspire
in their young minds. Our young daugh-
ters also we send into the very lairs of
ravening wolves without that vital in
struetion we are too modest to give them.
1t is not true modesty which deters us.
Surely that is false delicacy which is
shamed by speaking of the mystery of
life in a proper manner to a child.
But not only do we hesitate to speak
to children of these sacred, natural
truths ourselves, but we leave them to
be vulgarly instructed by low minded
companions. And these teachers always
omit, what in truth they seldom know,
the consequences which follow vicious
indulgence. Parents who do not entire
Iy refrain from instruction sometimes
omit this. They have blind faith in
their own children. in the instinct to-
ward virtue which is really in most chill
dren Of virtuous parents, and which is
the only salvation of multitudes. But it
is not safe to trust this too far. 1t needs
to be REINFORCED by knowledge.
Only those stern principles grounded
in science which have been built up
with infinite care day by day from early
childhood will avail if temptation has
chance to do its worst. The eternal de-
mand in nature for purity, and the in
eyitable penalty of impurity in lasting
disease and suffering and disgrace, can
not be too strongly impressed upon every
child in very early life. Whoever shirks
this duty does wrong whose farreach-
ing effects cannot be measured to the
child under his care.-Hattie T. Girls
wold in Boston Woman's Journal.

Once more Oregon is treated to a pro-
verbal Oregon rain. About O'Clock
yesterday afternoon the ''mist'i reached
the proportions Of a shower and the
drops pattered down like 40 Eastern
rain in summer time. But It's not al
Eastern rain. It's just angel tear drops
shed because they are forbidden to leave
the celestial throne and come down foi
a summers outing in this paradise on
earth. 1t is timely rain. 1t came
just in time to allay the dust that was
bt coming more dense than necessary
for comfort along some of the highways.
1t comes to drive away the lowering
clouds of smoke, to quench the forest
fires and purify the atmosphere. 1t
comes at a reasonable time to water the
earth and set vegetation 20 growing for
autumn. If 1t ceases in time for hop
growers TO save their crop, twill seem
very much as though twas sent special
ly for Oregon. Welcome, Oregon rains!
