THE WATER SPIDER.
Its Taste Inclines to ga Life on the Ocean
Wave"

Its Taste Inclines to "a Life on the Ocean
Wave"
Some Of the spider family have O 1ilt-
Ing for living In or near the water.
Most of the spider family with which
you are familiar live In the corners of
rooms or in dark closets. But this
water spider has quite a curious home,
and If you look sharp you may find one
OF them some day on the banks of @
stream.
This curious little spider builds q
pretty house of silk about the shape Of
thimble. This house is fastened
among the water plants growing
under the water, and naturalists tell
us that when her house is finished the
spider carries air In her body, bubble
by bubble, until she fills her tiny
house under the water full of air. In
this house she lives, carrying her food
down there to eat, and making her
nursery In one corner of the house.
And here her children live until they
grow big enough to build little thin
ble-castles for themselves.
Another curious little fellow is
called the raft spider. This creature
constructs an odd little raft of leaves
and sticks, held together by the sillten
threads which all spiders use. On this
raft the spider sails about, not stop
ping In any one place, but steering his
little boat wherever the fancy takes
him. His food consists of small In
sects which he finds in the water
around him. He Is said to be able to
run upon the water as well as sail upon
1t, SO altogether he is quite an accom-
plished creature. His little raft is his
home, his castle, his yacht and his
nursery, and he doubtless finds "a life
on the ocean wave" quite to his taste.

know my feelings, and, besides, it was
light, and If did not like the attitude
of Mr.. Coon l could retire. Conse-
quently, after pausing on the first
limbs to open my knife, proceeded
upward, and had gotten, perhaps, half
way to the top, when, without any
warming, cloud passed over the
moon, plunging me into the darkness
of Egypt. Had there been no one be-
low to chaff me my part of the hunt
would have terminated then and there,
but to show the white feather now
would never do, SO, after becoming q
little accustomed to the darkness,
could see and feel my way to proceed,
and was again climbing, when was
startled by the rustling in the branches
of large limb directly over the black
and Misunderstanding water.
turned and was cautiously working
my way in the direction of the sound,
when suddenly the moon burst forth in
all Its brightness, again lighting up
the scene. Words fail me In which to
express my terror upon beholding,
within four feet Of me, the glaring
eyes and tawny skin of large panther,
instead of the coon had expected to
see; but, though almost paralyzed with
fear, and feeling sure was to die, l de-
cided to sell my life dearly. Gripping
my knife firmly and twining my legs
firmly around tho limb, braced my
self for the spring, which l saw was
sure to come. did not have to wait
long. had hardly prepared myself,
when, with an unearthly and blood
curdling screams, which the memory
OF even now makes me tremble, he
was upon me. had time to strike
only twice with my knife, till together
we fell from the limb into the water
below. Then with one lastlunge at his
yellow side, I broke loose from him and
swan for the bank, where was pulled
out Of the water unconscious from
fright and loss of blood.
When | came to found that the dogs
had continued the fight, and though
my knife had reached vital part and
the panther was In his death agonies,
he had with his terrible claws killed
fiy, of the dogs and wounded several
others. However, he at last succumbed
to The blows Of my knife and was lying
dead only few feet from me, where
the negroes had placed him, before
regained consciousness
My clothes were torn into ribbons,
and across my back and shoulders were
five long and deep gashes, made by his
claws, the scars of which shall carry
through life in remembrance of that
coon hunt.
Upon measurement we found that
panther to be, from the tip of his nose
70 the tip OF his tail. 7 feet inches.

DANGEROUS COON HUNT.
The Dogs freed a Hugo Panther
Instead Of a Coon.
An Amateur Hunters Extreme Pcril and
tho Dcxterity with Which He Es-
caped Death-An Evening Ad-
venture In the South.

1t was the morning Of the 10th Of
July, date fixed indelibly upon my
mind, that my two cousins proposed
that we get the bands upon the farm
to join us that night in a coon hunt,
writes St Louis Republic correspond
ent.
readily consented, for I had often
heard Of this sport and longed for q
trial of 1t myself.
| left all arrangements to nv
cousins, and had almost forgotten the
proposed hunt when, directly after
supper, l was reminded of it by one
after another of the negro tenants
arriving, some accompanied by one
dog and others by half dozen dogs,
who were oil to be companions In the
hunt.
After q tramp Of about milo
through the woods, we came upon the
bank of bayou, when the dogs were
turned loose, and after n wait of, per-
haps, quarter of an hour we heard
the deep baying of u dog, followed short
ly afterby another, and another till it
seemed as If all the dogs In creation
had joined in the chase, and were each
trying to outdo the rest in producing
noise.
With shout of "come onl" my cousins
started on run toward the place
from which the sounds came, followed
by the whole party. After long run
through briars, brambles and thick
underbrush, we arrived, all out Of
breath, under large tree which grew
right on the banks of the bayou.
The dogs were wild with excitement,
and, for that matter, so were the rest
of us.
The tree was very large and ex-
tremely tall, SO, after q consultation,
1t was decided that some one would
have to climb the tree and dislodge
the coon, but Of the whole party NO
one could be found who seemed in
clined to take the Job. Finally l
laughingly remarked that l thought
it strange that anyone should be
afraid of coon, and as none of them
had the nerve, would do 1t myself;
SO, taking off my shoes and coat to
facilitate my climbing, l began to
ascend the tree. l confess was little
afraid, but decided not to let them

the body of the doll, and, having made
large knot at this end, tie 1t to the bar
Of chair. Slip tho doll around the
thread of silk till she is about yard
from the chair. Then place yourself In
front Of her, holding the spool In your
handi you may stand two yards from
the doll. Jerk the thread up and down
so as to move the doll, and make her
feet go us If they were dancing.
When you are about to put her away
draw in the thread close to her back
(the knot will prevent Its coming
through), wind up tho spool and lay it
with the doll In her box or drawer.
There must be fiat skirt of PASTE
board under the silk skirt to shape 1t
out, and to the middle Of this paste
board the legs must be loosely fastened,
but not so as to endanger their drop

ROBERT ]. DEfHRoM0.
Joe Pstchen lakes His Place as King of the
 Iurf-Eyents on the Great Tracks.

Cleveland, Aug. 1.-Robert J., the king of the turf, is king no longer. The honor was wrested from him by that game black stallion, Joe Patchen, in the most exciting speed contest ever seen on a grand circuit track. It has been known since last season that Joe Patchen was a great race horse, but even his warmest admirers did not believe that he was speedy enough to defeat the phenome- nal Robert J. In the auction pools Rob- ert J. sold for $25 and the field for 8. In the books the Hamlin world beater was barred. He was supposed to have cinch on the race and most of the bet ting was on Joe Patchen for a place. After the first heat $1 on the field would have brought $50 on Robert J.
 The second heat was the beginning of the surprise that was to follow. The favorite and his rival came into the stretch neck and neck after having paced the middle half in one minute. Jack Cur ry, who was driving Patchen, seemed to push the black whirlwind under the wire and he won by the shortest kind of a nose in 2:04A The last two heats were trif1e easier for. the black stallion, although he won by less than a length each time. It was the fastest four-heat race ever paced, and the last heat, in 2;05A was the fastest fourth heat ever paced
