to take the creaks out of their joints
and unlimber themselves generally,
they would be howled down as public

pathy which teaches them when the
majority of them want TO stretch.

Origin Of Damascus.

Tradition says that the blood OF
Abel, shed here, cries to heaven for
mercy toward the city erected on the
scene of the fratricide. On the ad-
lacent mountain monument, called
Nobi Abel, is said to mark the spot
where Cain slew his brother. The
name Damascus is alleged to be de.
rived from dam (blood) and sakk
(righteous), blood of the righte-
Gus.
Coming down TO times within the
records OF man we learn from an old
historian that the city owes its origi,
to Damascus from whom il ( Ses its
name, while Josephus asserts that il
was founded by Uz, grandson Of
Shem. But, whichever account be
correct, we are certain that IL existed
in the time OF Abraham. fo- are we

The private seance was given. The
Yogis did their best to eclipse all the
former brethren whom the White
Mahatma had seen. Some Of their
exploits were undoubtedly marvellous.
Still the Professor refused to see any
thing in them save the operation Of
natural laws. He leaned over TO the
Maharajah and said:
II can scatter all these men with a
mere wave Of my hand"
do it," replied the Maharajah,
with an incredulous smile.

they wore around their loins and

Off their garments, thrust them away
and fled from the scene.
This exploit earned him a great
reputation Ever after when any
Yogis or fakirs met him on the street
they would flee from the presence Of
the man who had hell fire at his
command
The Professor explains that this is
one Of his own inventions in the way
of conjuring tricks. Indeed, he ac-

SPIDERS AND THEIR WAYS.

In the sea there are plenty Of
spiders. They are found crawling
upon seaweeds along the shore.
Their bodies are very small and their
! legs long and threadlike. There is a
species of arachnid that lives under
the water in fresh ponds. 1t makes
its home in an empty shell Of a water
snail, closing the opening with q
web Of vanished silk to keep the
water out. Other aquatic spiders
! spread silken tilaments under water
! TO entrap insects. In New Zealand
there is n black spider with red
spot on its stomach, which is sup
posed to have bite fatal to human
beings. The same animal has a
similar reputation elsewhere, though
undeservedly. 1t is found in this
country.
All spiders are venomous, but none
Of them are deadly. The spider OF
! ill-repute above mentioned is afflicted
with constitutional hydrophobia. 1t
will go into fit IL touched with
water, though other species will
drink eagerly if drop Of that fluid
is offered on a straw. A severe
spider bite produces symptoms 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 cover
tea plate. Most OF them spin no
webs, but dig a hole in the ground,
line it with silk and fit it with trap
door so artfully made as TO hinge,
| bevel edge and spring that it is al
most impossible to find the opening.
! In some cases they actually plant
seeds on the dainty portal for the
purpose Of concealing it with grow
| ing 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 reproduction.
Spiders are very fond of the music
! of stringed instruments, because TO
| their ears it resembles the buzzing Of
captive flies. Their greatest enemies
are wasps, which paralyze them by
stinging them. Then the wasp
plants the spider in hole, lays an
egg beside her and covers her up.
The young wasp 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 OF arachnids attach
threads to the ground and permit the
breeze TO blow them away. Thus
they remain for days suspended high
an the air and miles away from their
anchorage. The arrival of a moist
spell Of weather sometimes produces
a rain OF spiders webs, causing great
astonishment. Spiders are feeble
creatures, their poison aiording little
protection against the attack of in
sect foes. Like human beings, they
have unprotected bodies, and no
natural weapons worth mentioning.
Their survival in creation is due to
the exercise Of superior intelligence.

There is way OF tieing this rubber
around the head so that one can dive,
