England, Foreign Made Matches.

can Indignant Englishman' writes:
"Why do all or nearly all our big cafes
and restaurants in the city and west END
use foreign made matches? One takes a
match to light cigarette or cigar and sees
on the box, These matches are manufac-
tured in Sweden, or sometimes it is Bel
GUM. Can't we manufacture them? There
must be and there are plenty of English
manufacturers who can produce matches
as cheaply and as well as foreigners. Per
haps they can explain this question. One
gets sick of seeing that everything used IN
this country is made abroad, even to match
es. If we can make them in England, why
can they be used everywhere here and not
imported in such quantities from abroad:

Cold rha. Kills and Cold That Cures.

In England severe cold generally kills a
good many people In certain parts OF
North America cold still more severe puts
new life into them. 1t requires no argu.
mentation to show that there must be a
definite reason for this. The chief reason
Is that English cold is mostly damp, while
In North America it is mostly dry. There
Is the greatest difference in the world be-
tween dry air and damp air. The former
is usually air pure and simple, possessing
full quantity of oxygen and often charged
highly with ozone. The latter consists OF
air mixed with the vapor Of water. When
the former air, fully oxygenated, is
breathed, it stimulates more powerfully
than champagne. The latter, less oxygen
ated and charged with vapor of water, not
only does not stimulate, but depresses.

A BUNCH OF LEGS.
How q Spider Captured and Was Cheated
Out of His Prey.

How o Spider Captured and Was Cheated
Out of His Prey.
A correspondent writes that he was ~
ing in a hammock reading one warm art
ernoon when his attention was attracted
by loud buzzing directly overhead. On
looking up to see what was the matter, he
found that a big fly, with legs twice as
long as its body, had become entangled IN
a spiders web.
The fly struggled to free itself, but the
Web though bent and stretched, would
not break The only parts of the fly which
did not become ensnared were those tire
mendous legs.
The spider must have been astonished
at the size of his unwilling visitor and
advanced cautiously to make q closer in
spection.
The fly was making every effort to es-
cape. Its legs were whirling round and
round like the arms of an old fashioned
windmill, while the contortions of its body
shook the whole web like an earthquake.
The spider seemed to realize that he had
"a contract in hand which would require
considerable thought before it could be
successfully carried out.
But spider rarely gives up, and after
few moments of meditation this fellow
made his plans and was soon hard at
work. l could see by his motions that he
was spinning threads and casting them
over the 1y's legs as fast as they were
spun In very short time so many OF
the threads had been wrapped around the
legs of tho fly that they were no longer
able to kick
sni6as fhrnaG
about four inches long and fastened it
somewhere among the former ones. Grab
bing hold of tho free end, he began to haul,
just as sailor does when he is helping to
hoist sail, and at every tug the fly's legs
were drawn closer and closer together I'M
til they were all in a bunch hard and fast.
Now comes the astonishing part of the
story. When person is in great danger
or near death, he is apt to make a strong
effort to save himself, and that is just
what tho fly did. BY a little extra squirm-
ing it freed it's wings, and then with a
mighty convulsivo jerk it wrenched itself
clear of the web, but left every one OF its
legs behind
Can you imagine the surprise of the
spider? He darted down to the insignifi-
cant bunch that was left and tasted of it,
and verify believe that with microscope
l might have seen genuine disgust written
all over his face. Those bony remains
must have contained very littlo of the
juices that a spider loves SO we'll
The legs were cut loose from tho web
and fell to the ground at my feet, while
tho spider retired to his darkest corner,
where he evidently gave himself up to a
fit of the su!ks.-Youth's Companion.
