One dollar will buy very good garment a'
this sale. Two dollars have marvellous reacil'
while So 90 and S. are just autocrats. Every
lady in the city should visit the sale. Chaice
is given for good deal of charity for little
money. Buy them to give away if you don
need them yourself.

apiders' Threads.

The spiders thread is made Of in
Vulnerable small threads or fibers, one
Of these threads being estimated to be
one-millionth Of hair in thickness.
Three kinds Of thread are spun-one OF
great strength, for the radiating or
spoke lines Of the web. The cross lines,
or what sailor might call the rat lines,
are finer and are tenacious-that is,
they have upon them little specks or
globules Of very sticky gum. These
specks are put on with even interspaces.
They are set quite thickly along the limo
and are what in the first instance catch
and hold the legs or wings Of the fly.
Once caught In this fashion, the prey is
held secure by threads flung over 1t
somewhat in the same manner as a las

the spider throws out in mass Of food,
by which 1t suddenly envelops any prey
Of which it is somewhat afraid, as, for
example, a wasp. A scientific expert
menter once drew out from the body OF
a single spider 8, $50 yards Of thread
or spider silk-a length little short OF

Practical Dental Hints.

An aching tooth should never be borne
with. have known a woman to cour-
ageously endure the repeated excruciat-
ing toothache that attends dying nerve
without consulting dentist. The pain
finally subsidized for good and for all, but
the tooth gradually became discolored,
taking on a drabbish tone. Then for
the first time this unlucky woman sus-
pected what had happened. The pulp
the dead nerve, was removed, but the
tooth never regained its clear, pearly
luster. II one is troubled with dyspep-
STA or any gastric disturbance, the teeth
bear witness to the fact. They lose their
brilliancy, often become stained da-l-
saffron about their necks. Every pretty
dyspeptic should make a point Of keep
ing q wineglass Of water into which
is stirred teaspoonful Of bicarbonate
Of soda, by her bedside to rinse her
mouth with as often as she wakes. The
bicarbonate counteracts the effect Of any
"acidity" Of the stomach on the teeth.
