MimicrH of the snider.

A southern man gives the following account of his discovery of chameleon spider: "One afternoon, while tramping along a dusty road, noticed ill the bushes which grew along the side what appeared to be singular looking white flower, with blue center. Stopping to examine it, found to my astonishment that it was not a flower at all, but a spiders web, and that the supposed light blue heart of the flower was the spider itself, lying in wait for it's prey. The mottled brown legs of the spider were extended in such 9 way as to resemble the divisions between the petals of 9 flower.
 "The web itself, very delicately woven into 8 rosette pattern, was white, and the threads that suspended it from the bushes were so fine as to be almost in- visible. The whole thing had the ap- pearance of being suspended in the air upon stem concealed beneath. Upon knocking the spider from his perch into the white gauge net which carried my surprise was greatly increased upon see' ing my captive instantly turn in color from blue to white. I shook the net, and again the spider changed color, this time it's body becoming dull greenish brown. As often as I would shake the net just so often would the spider change its color, and kept it uT until it had assumed about every hue o1 the rainbow. "-Philadelphia Ledger.

AemR rkAbIe Story or How Nnn

 There is a curious character in Blissville, the southern extreme of Long Island City, who is known to everybody, inc uding children, as 'the doctor" although his advice has always been gratuitous and he has but one remedy.
 Joseph J. Myers, ''the doctor,' is the proprietor of the Homestead Hotel. where a StGndard Union reporter found hun last night
 "What is the secret of my remedy?" he smlinglv observed, in response to a question. "There is no secret. Neither am l a doctor; and there hasn't been one in my house for almost quarter of a century. My doctor stands up there on the safe in the form of Perry Davis Pain-Kil!er, and under no circumstances would l allow myself to be without a bottle.
 "I was once afflicted by ulcerated sore throat, and my position became SO critical that three physicians who had been called in consultation, gently broke the yarn to me that my days re uumbC red. An appli cation of Pain Killer was suggested. l tried it. week later was back at my york;

Pretty Woman's Ways.

They were two women, and they were on the last lap of shopping tour on the afternoon of bargain day. As they passed out from one of the big dry goods establishments the pretty woman remarked to her companion: When am on one of my shopping expeditions, I feel just as imagine man does who takes couple of drinks and goes oF on a spree. The attractions of the shops are too much for me. After the first few purchases I become intoxicated through my vanity and love of prstty things, and I begin to run up bills Here I have been running up bills the afternoon, and guess might we'll wind up and go to the hairdres ard have my hair fixed up." They ed on, and the listener could readily im- agine that the pretty woman's 's experi- ences would be quite as painful as those of the man who had gone on a npFes, when her husband, provided slll8 had one, and she was pretty enough to have one, began to receive the bills. -R Buffalo Express.

Not That He Had Written Anything, but
 It Would Look We'll In an Obituary.
 ''I am exceedingly sorry to disturb you at such time and upon such an errand,' remarked the reporter as the front door was opened ill response to his ring, "but l have been sent to see if you would not kindly furnish me with some facts regarding MT. Blank. We wish them for an obituary"
 Certainly" responded the woman. Then she turned and called out loudly: Mamie, Mamie, here's a reporter. Come down and tell him what an hon. est man your father was. s."
 There seemed to be nothing of unusual interest in MT. Blanks history until the reporter inquired the nature of MT. Blanks business.
 "He was literary man," replied the woman.
 "Indeedl What did he write?''
 Well, I really-I really don't think he ever wrote any books. '
 Newspaper man?"
 Mo-" remarked the woman, "but his father was. My grandfather was editor 
 bly, know the paper?'
 May ask what your father did as a literary man? Did he edit or revise any publications? Was he connected with any trade paper-alman-I beg your pardon-directory or guide?'
 ''No," said the woman earnestly.
 By this time the reporter was not a little perplexed. Really" he said aft ar pause, "I should like 10 make my report complete, Can you not be more specific regarding your fathers literary work?''
 Well, the truth is, responded the woman, "he was engaged by Galley & Form, publishers of the Compendium of Universal Knowledge. He was their sole agent in Connecticut and sold 10, 900 sets last summer on commission. Of course you needn't say anything about that. Just put him down as literary man. It will be perfectly satisfactory to the family. ''-New York Herald.

In 8 World Famous Shop.

In Worth's shops in Paris, says a London print, there are dignity and se- verity almost classical. Every hing is strict, correct, comme il faut Clients occupy one of the many simply decorat- ed rooms en suite, all of which open upon the long corridor whose windows overlook the Rue de la Paix. They are spectators rather than customers, while graceful creatures in long procession, each appareled in the newest fashion.
 Nothing is seen of the seamy side, all the machinery of manufacture, work rooms, patterns, untidiness, are relegated to back premises, and, save for the fit ting by of 8 harried ''runner" or "matcher" or 'ftter," nothipg of the inner life is visible except when at rare intervals the prince of dressmakers strolls, solemn and abstracted, through the rooms from his studio" to the "ateliers," from the study where he composes to the workrooms where his ideas take practical shape.
 M. Worth is a somewhat amusing figure when seen deshabille, wearing a strange robe de chambre of the gabar- dine class and quaint headdress, which is something between a Scotch bonnet and black nightcap..

"Why doesn' t some minister preach a sermon on that subject or some editor write an editorial about it?'' asked a sandy whislzered man. He was on trol- ley car No. 287, going north at the rate 0f eight miles an hour.
 ''What subject?' asked curious pas senger, while four men, six women, two babies and 9 poodle dog opened their oars ill order to catch every word of the answer.
 "What subject? Why, the odor in this car! There's 8 stench uf bergaInot, altar of roses, Maria Stuart and dozen other brands of perfumery aboard of this car, strong enough to drive wind mill. The excessive use of perfumery is @ lesson necessary to teach to all wom"--.

The poet and philosopher, Ra'phWaldo

The poet and philosopher, Ra'phWaldo EInerscn, says
 "If eyes were made for seeing,
 Then beauty is it's own excuse for b ing.
 Beauty of feature and elegance Of form have ever been the desire of the feminine mind And it is perfectly laudable and natural ambition. Women are born to sway the hearts and minds of men as much by their beauty and attractiveness, as by the subtler charms of goodness and purity.
 And yet, how few women attain the beauty which should be theirs, and in those few who are beautiful, how quick the beauty fades! This is wrong. Women are naturally beautiful-at least of pleas ing and attractive appearance-and in nearly all the eases where women lack these physical charms, the fault is their Own.
 IFGood looks and beautiful forms are en- tirelv dependent upon good health. One must have strong nerves and pure blood to be beautiful. Failing to have these IS

The Seventh Son.

According to French tradition and belief, if a man is the seventh son of his father, without any of the feminine gender intervening, he is marcou. He has on some part of his body the mark of flower luce, and, like the kings of France, he has the power of curing the kings evil All that is necessary to effect a cure is that the marcou should breathe upon the part affected, or that the sufferer should touch the mark of the foWer-de-luce. In holy week his power is particularly efficacious. A darker superstition concerning the seV- enth son exists in Portugal. It.is there believed that the unfortunate being who is the seventh male in direct succession is ill the power of the prince of darkness, by whom he is compelled on every Sat- urday evening to assume the appearance of an ass. In this guise and acoompa. nied by troop of dogs, he is compelled to race over moor and through village until the light of the Sabbath daARns, when he may resume his human shape for another week.--Bow Bells

Indications In the Boys Life That Prove

 Carlyle says that you can tell how man would do anything from the way he sings. However this may be, it is certainly true ill nine cases out of ten that you can tell what sort of a man the boy will make from seeing him at play when obliged to stay indoors without a companion. Lord (then plain William) Armstrong, the famous engineer, was a delicate boy, and one winter when 6 years old was confined to the house for months. To amuse himself he set several old spinning wheels in motion by weights descending on strings from top to bottom of the house over the staircase railing.
 Friends and relatives brought mechan- ical toys for the little prisoner, which he at once, pulled to pieces. It was not satisfactory to him to see "Jack" jump up ill the "box' when the lid was raised He would know what made Jack" spring up.
 One day, while fishing near rustic mill, the water wheel attracted his at tention, because it was fed by Till above which descended from a height of nearly 100 feet. Seeing that only 20 feet of the descent was utilized, he pondered the question, "Why not use the whole descent of the stream as a motive pow er?" A swinging lamp ill church sug- gested to GaliIei the pendulum as a means of measuring time, and Arm strong saw ill the descending Till power for 8 hydraulic crane. He invented one, and it attracted the attention of leading engineers.
 Lord Armstrong's name Is now, as most of our readers know, identified with huge rified cannon, the manufac- ture of large projectiles and the build. ing of mighty vessels of war.-Scottish American.
