POISONOUS SPIDERS.
Found I'm the Sea and I'm Ponds as
Well as ON Land.

Found I'm the Sea and I'm Ponds as
Well ms ON Land.
In the sea there are plenty Of spi-
ders. They are found crawling upon
seaweeds along the shore. Their bod
les are very small and thei: legs long
and threadlike. There is species OF
arachnid that lives under the water in
fresh ponds. 1t makes its home in an
empty shell of water snail, closing the
opening with a web Of varnisfed silk
to keep the water out Other aquatic
spiders spread silken filaments under
water to entrap insects. In New Zea-
land there is a black spider with
red spot on its stomach, whichIis sup
posed to have bite fatal to human
beings. The same animal has a SINH
lar reputation elsewhere, though unde-
servedly. 1t is found in this country.
All spiders are venenous, but none
of them are deadly. The spider of ill
repute above mentioned is afflicted with
constitutional hydrophobia. twill go
into a fit if touched with water though
other species will drink eagerly If a
drop of that fluid is offered on a straw.
A severe spider bite produces. symp-
toms like those of lockjaw. In the
tropics live great hairy SPIDERS Some
of them weigh half a pound, with
spread of legs wide enough to fover
tea plate. Most of them spin no webs,
but dig a hole in the ground, line it
with silk and fit it with trap7loor so
artfully made as to hinge, bevel edge
and spring that it is almost impossible
to find the opening. IN some cases
they actually plant seeds on the dainty
portal for the purpose of coacealing 1t
with growing plants.
The mission of spiders in the world
is doubtless to keep down the flies,
which would otherwise swarm over the
earth. Only the females spin webs;
the males are about one-twentieth the
size of the females, the sole purpose of
their existence being that of reproduc-
ton.
Spiders are very fond of the music
Their ears It resembles the Wing II 81
captive flies Their greatest enemies
are wasps, which paralyze them by
singing them. Then the wasp plants
the spider in hole, lays an egg ! side
her and covers her up. The young
vssp grub, on being Matched, feeds On
the body Of the spider. On a warm
autumn day the air is sometimes full
of spiders webs. Certain species ct
arachnids attach threads to the ground
and permit the breeze to bloR them
away. Thus they remain for days sus-
pended high in the alp and miles away
from their anchorage. The arrival of
a moist spell of weather sometimes
produces a rain Of spiders webs, caus-
ing great establishment. Spiders are
feeble creatures, their poison afording
little protection against the attacks of
insect foes Like human beings, they
have unprotected bodies, and no nat
ural weapons worth mentioning. Their
survival in creation is due to the exer
else of superior intelligence.

Friendshfp Between Lodge and Hill
Based ON Attraction Of OppOsiteB.
The apostle of civil service reform
and the incarnation of machine politics
are the chummiest men in the senate.
In other words Lodge of Massachusetts
and Hill of New York are bosom
friends.
1t happened by chance the usual way.
In the lottery which is officially known
as the pairing of senators Mr.. Lodge
was assigned as the pair of Mr.. Hill.
In other words neither was vote IN
less the other was present, SO that the
absence of one would be always neu-
tralized by the silence of the other.
Thrown against each other by the irony
of fate, the two men were forced to be-
come acquainted. Presently, however,
they found that instead of merely form
ally announcing to each other an in
tended departure AMI then separating.
they began to chat and gossip together.
They found that they mad many likes
and dislikes in common. Hill was at
tracted by Lodges polished manner,
and Lodge felt the force Of Hills d.
rectness and incisive thought.
So it has come to pass that when Mr..
Hill returns from one Of his frequent
trips to Albany no one hastens with
more promptness to cordially greet him
than the junior senator from Massachu-
sets. They do not often talk politics
for on this subject the two men are dia-
metrically opposed to each other, but
on everything else they are as Damop
and PytEias.-Washing Post.

a QUEER SUIT
With Enoch Arden and Other Peculiar

Features.
81 have had something to do with
good many queer lawsuits, said
sx-United States Marshal Archie
laxter of Elmira, to New York
sun reporter. ..but think the one
of Evans against lift was the queer.
sst one of ali. Howlan Evans was
arm laborer, and Reuben Tiff
well-to.do and prominent farmer for
whom Evans frequently worked.
They lived in the town of Veteran,
Chemung county. Evans lived
with his wife and three young chill
lren not far from the Tiff farm. In
1864 Evans enlisted in the army and
received bounty of $500 This
money he placed in the hands OF
Farmer Tiff for safe keeping, with
the injunction that the latter should
look afte' the interests of Evans
family while he was at the front with
his regiment
"About the time Evans went to
the war Farmer Tifft's wife died.
Then Tiff began to pay very marked
attentions to Soldier Evans wife.
Evans at times forwarded money to
lifft--in all. as he claimed, nearly
5000 In the spring OF 1865 Tiff
decided to Mrs. Evans house and
twelve acres of land, and soon after
that the woman took her children
and all her household goods and the
personal belongings of herself and
absent husband and went to live with
Tiff on his farm. When Evans
came home from the war, soon after
that, he found that he had no wife,
children or home, and all his efforts
to recover his money and property
and custody OF his children were I'M
avafiing His children grew up
under Tiff and married. Mrs. Evans
had applied for divorce from her
husband while he was in the army,
and it was granted to her not long
after he came back. Then she mar
ried Tiff
''Evans was advised to bring suit
against his wife's second husband to
recover his 500 bounty money and
other moneys that he had sent to
Tiff while in the army. The case
came up in the Chemung county
court, and was appointed referee
to hear and report on it. Tiff de-
tended the suit, and his defense was
courageous, to say the least. He
admitted having received Evans
bounty money and the remittances,
but he put in claim for boarding
the plaintiffs children, although it
was in evidence that he had kept
them against the fathers wishes and
in spite Of his efforts to recover
the custody of them.
Tiff also alleged that Evans was
to pay him out of the money for the
house and land the former had deed
ed to Mrs Evans, as he had made
the transfer to her at Evans request.
so that she might have a home.
Evans proved, though. that his wife
had never occupied the house, but
had gone to live with Tiff imme-
diately after the transfer was made,
and subsequently sold the place for
5000 and gave the money to Tiff
The defendant also put in as an Off
set charge of $3.50, which he had
given one of Evans daughters when
she was married.
alt was, 10 short, case of one
man having taken possession Of an
other mans family and property, and
then insisting that the other man
should pay him for doing it. I
thought Evans had the best end of
the suit and so reported. / suppose
he got his money"

Fancy Now Means auality

The term fancy" has been applied
to a class of poultry deemed of no val
ue except to ornament the show room,
but within the past year, says the Poul-
try Keeper, the term has been accepted
as one designating quality in poultry
on the stalls. During the week preced-
ing Christmas the fancy" dressed
poultry commanded nearly twice as
much per pound as the ordinary. This
may be but trivial matter on first con-
sideration, but when it Is well looked
into the subject is worthy of more con-
sideration, for the prices are drawn
strictly on a line which separates the
market into good and bad and this
separation will become wider and wider
as progress is made in the breeds OF
farm poultry. 1t plainly shows that
IL the farmer is to succeed with poultry
his greatest profit must come by breed
ing the So-called fancy stock, and that
he cannot hope to successfully compete
with fan " stock except by making q
speciality of fancy stock himself.
The fancy stock, as bred for market,
does not. however, depend for excel
lence upon the points Of the comb, or
few feathers ON the middle toe of a
show bird, but upon the compactness
of body and the preponderance of
breast meat, the golden yellow color
of the legs, and the fat condition of
the bird when killed. In fact, the lat
ter is very important portion Of the
requirements, which even the farmer
knows is essential to obtaining high
prices, but to produce a carcass ex-
ceiling in other respects is something he
often overlooks. The true poultryman
makes it his object to satisfy the mar.
ket and he will not be behind his COM
petitors in the use of the proper breeds
necessary to give him any advantages
that may be obtained in that direction,
for he must expect to please the GUS
toners if he desires the highest price.
If there are quotations for fancy
stock and other quotations for that
which is inferior, let the farmer pro-
duce only the fancy kind. There is no
monopoly of any breed, and no one has
the exclusive right to the control of the
| market, and the farmer has an equal
chance with all. He must remove his
| prejudice against the fine breeds, and
might at once cease the claim that
fancy stock is no better than any
other" for the prices refute his claim,
and prove conclusiyely that there is
not only difference, but great one,
| and his prejudice effects no one as in
juriously as it does him. Let the farm
er keep fancy stock and he will get
fancy prices. Let him seek to produce
the best that can be placed upon the
market, and he will find profit result
ing instead Of q loss. The man who
will not comply with the demands of
| the market must be content to sell at
half price and incur the risk Of loss.
