GREAT CRAB SPIDERS.

Unpleasant Looking Creatures Which Stul
 Have friends and Little UcTr"d-rs."
 To tell of all the different kinds of spiders would take many books. Spi- ders are of all sizes. from the dreadful big terror, of which you have heard the celebrated tarantula, which lives only in hot countries to the tiny little spiders that can sccrete themselves in such small spots that the sharpest eyes have hard work tu find them.
 Not only do they differ in size but in habits and in the variety and style of their houses and of their method of cs- tablishing their nurseries and bringing up their children. Some spiders live in the air out of doors, some iu the corners of old building, some in the ground and some on the water There does not seem 10 be any variety yet found which inhabits fire, but perhaps some may be discovered The grant Of the spider family, the great crab spider, lives principally in South America. This specimen is from two and one half to three inches long Their legs are al least five inches long Most spiders live upon flies and very small insects. But the crab spider is very bold and pugnacious, and will attack any creature, not only his own size but even larger, with the intent to make a dinner of his enemy. Small birds, liz ards and other little creatures are just the kind of supplies which suit his taste and supply his lardcr
 This gentlemen is what is called a
 night spider that is he spends most ot the day in sleepand takes the night Co gambol about in search for his meals. At this time, when all little birds arc safely las they think, asleep in their nests. he crceps up Q tree and quickly finds ont some of these unsus- pecting little creatures. He is very strong and fierce, and finding his prey off guard he generally succeeds in kill ing it.

Men Who Are Standing VIII Surrender
 Rights to a Seat Almost Invariably.
 Have you ever noticed, asked an ob- serving young woman, "hOw much politer men are who are standing up in streetcars than men who are sitting down."
 ] confessed that had not, says a New York Herald writer.
 Well, you watch, and you will find out that am right. It is comparatively seldom that I enter a crowded car and have man rise to offer me his seat. Most men settle themselves comfortably, stick their noses more deeply into their newspapers and pretend they don't see me hanging fast to the strap. But if any one should then yacate a seat and a man was standing ny it, the chances are fifty to one that he would beclson me 10 come over and take it rather than sit down himself
 Now, this isn't imagination I've noticed it scores of times think men go on the principle that possession is nine-tenths of the law, or rather, might say, uine-tnths of politeness, What a man has he Keeps, and he says: Hang politenessn But if he is'already standing it is just as easy for him to keep on standing, and in that case po- likeness has some show with him.
 I'm not talking nonsense now," she went on, with q merry laugh I'm talking fact, and if you don't believe it you can easily get proof for yourself" !"

PREVENTED < LvNcAlNe.
Periious Position Of s Senator Between s
 Mob and Prisoner.

There Is no more courageous man in the world than Senator Teller" said Maj. Peabody to q Philadelphia Times correspondent. He has passed through many thrilling experiences during his lifetime, but on no occasion was his virile manhood and magnificent cour- age displayed to greater advantage than on the evening after the news of the assassination of President Lincoln was received in Leadville. A miner, coming from the shaft where he had been working all day, upon being in- formed that President Lincoln had been assassinated in Washington, care lessly said: He did not die too soon.
 That unfeeling and unpatriotie re- mark was passed from lip to lip until everybody in the entire community had been made aware of it. shortly after nightfall a mob broke into the mans house and dragged him to q pub lie hall, where lynch court trial was to be given him, He had absolutely no show for his life. The entire crowd appeared to be unanimous in desire and determination to kill him, long iODi i4dA btfh NflfIlth Ip the IdAAs uuA hanging was regarded as too good for the man. The rope was to be used by the whole mob, and the unfortunate fellow was to be dragged to death through the rough streets.
 Senator Teller was a young man then, but he had already gained the respect and confidence of the people, all of whom knew him at least by sight. In his law office, which was half q block away from the public hall in which the lynch court was being held, he was informed of the situation. Hastily taking his hat in his hand Mir. Teller rushed downstairs, out into the street, and made his way to the hall for the purpose of saving that mans life. Numerous friends of Mir. Teller en- deavored to restrain him, because they feared that he might suffer at the hands of the mob if he interfercd. But, with set teeth, he proceeded to the hall. pushed his way through the crowd, took Q stand on the platform beside the trembling prisoner, waved his hand for silence, and obtained it.
 "lie thercupon addressed the mob and informed them that the prisoner was not their prey, but prisoner of the United States, and that the city should not be disgraced by the exercise of mob law upon 2 man who had made thoughtless remark He was inter- rupted by angry cries and shouts of the mob, who declared that no man should stand between them and their victim.
 "Mr Teller than stepped to the front of the stage and informed them that one man at least would stand between them and their victim, and that before they should execute that man without trial they must wreak their wild ven geance upon him. He colamanded si. !cncc again and declared that the man was his prisoner, that he would take him to the United States jail in Denver, where he belonged, and see that he should have 6 fair trial for his life. Tho result of the effort made by Teller, which no other man in the communitv would have dared to make, was that Teller lea ms prisoner through that mob, out of the hall, into the street to a railroad train and landed him in the United States jail at Denver as he de- clarcd he would do.n

A ouestIoninp Race.

Americans ask more questions than the natives of any other country in the world, said a globe trotter recently. They are naturally inquisitive If an American sees a sign fresh paint" he will instinctively feel it with his fin gers to see if it is dry. If he wants to learn the time train leaves lie will consult the time table, and after he has found out what he wants to know, turn to the hotel clerk and ask what time the train leaves. He will look at his watch, and half dozen people will ask him the time of day He then has to refer to the watch again in order to tell them It is trait that have never been able to understand

Employer and Companion.

One of the most important secrets of a hunting expedition is this: Never allow yourselves any Iuxuries in a
 tight place which your men have no share in" The English sportsman, whose advice we have quoted, tells how he was rewarded in the Caucasus for treating his men as comrades and shar- ing camp comforts with them. He says: One chilly night among the mountains l awoke at three o'clock to find myself warm and snug under two extra native blankets. The owners of the blankets were squatting on their hams, almost in the fire, and talking to pass the long, cold hours until dawn. Having rated them for their folly and made them take back their blankets and turn in, l rolled over and slept aEain. When next woke it was seven o'clock, and the men were still crouch. ing over the cmbcrs, helping to cook breakfast, their blankets having been replaced upon my shoulders I had paid these men off the day before this happened and they left me the next morrinT with hearty God be with you, uaccn nscious that they had done anything rore than the proper thing .oward their employer and companion.

 The stout woman in furs and diamond earrings s-of course diamond earrings arc the height of bad form just now pumped into one of the crosswise seats on the Sixth avenue elevated train one day and pushed n small boy into the scat opposite her and next to me. A shopgirl with bundle had expected to take that seat, but the in- dulgont mother was too swift for her, says writer in the New York Press. Perhaps men who have children of their own don't mcddlc with those be- longing to other people. but l put my arm around the small boys waist and lifted him of the seat and said;
 Now, take of your hat and offer your seat to that young lady"
 The small boy promptly ran between his mothers knees, the young girl crimsoncd and hesitated, and the stout woman flushed purple. The experi- mcut seemed to be n failure, but the girl was clearly entitled to the seat, and so looked at her and smiled en- couragingly, ard she sat down. Then the stout woman abused me, to my great modification and the amusement of the whole crowd
 And, let me tell you, sir" she fin ished, don't you ever mcddle with other peoples children again"
 "Malam, said l, firmly, If mothers don't train their sons to grow up as gentlemen some one else ought to. How do you expect that boy to respect his mothers sex when his mother sets him the example of despising woman's claims to courtesy?'

 The ,luddltd water Of half-frozcn toyc down Ca the flats told that some thing unusual had happened not long beforc. Palmer yet was the tale when a stitching furrcd body rose to the sur face of the little open space of water, Under the fringe of nearly frozen ice a dark spot showed plainly to a wood. mans eye that a fight had occurred in the water, and closer inspection demonstrated that 1t had been a fight for food and fight for fife,
 A hungry mink had come that wny along a string of coves looking for something tO eat. The mice were shy, and he could not catch them. Of fish there were none, but a lOuc muskrat, diving for roots and after a minute be- heath the waters surface rising again, offered prey at once a fighter and of goodly taste. A mink likes to kill q lighter He will go a long way from brooks, upon hin and even mountain tops, looking for one, woodsmen say, He tackles martens or weaselS, and is especially fond of big muslirat
 The mink crouchcd on the edge of the ice moment; then, as the muslsrat rose, he sprang for his prey. The musk rat quickly threw up his head and caught the mink by paw. The mink got hold of the muskrat's neck, skim hold only They rolled and kicked the water high in the air, throwing it ten feet away into the snow. The mink could have killed the musSrat had they been in the snow or on the ground, but in the water the musllrat was too pow crful. At Inst they dived, and above them the water boiled and grew yellow with mud.
 Under water the mink was as badly off as at the surface. At last the minlS's breath gave out, and, letting TO, he tried to rise, but the musllrat would not release his hold on the minll's leg So at last the mink, after much strug- glipg, died. But his hold on the musk rats throat, though at first only skin hold. had later been forced back and the big vein had been cut. The mink rose to the surface, and the musl,rat tried to swim away, but died, and rose as the other had done.

STREET AoRoBArs IN JAPAN.
Clever Little People Who Do Almost Ina
 possible Tricks for Small Pay.

possible Trirks for Small Pay.
 During q iinrilisha ride along the streets of any Japanese city the trav- eler is almost sure to see Il group of young street acrobats, quaint little pco- pie grotesquely dressed Theirngcs will range generally between three and twelve years, and all have been reg ularly trained.
 Their dress consists mainly of loose trousers, a briRht-colored jacket and peculiar headdress, The trousers arc baggy, made of stroug material resembling blue and white bed ticking, and tied at the ankle. The jacket and shirt are bright and conspicuous.
 The front of the headdress repre- sents the half-opened mouth of dragon, while the back is ornamented with many cocks plumcs. From under the headdreSs falls curtain of thin red material, thrown careleSsly back over the shoulders, the whole being securely held on the head by a piece of rcd cloth which ties underneath the chin.
 These little imps are always laugh ing, full of fun, ever ready to play harmless jokes on one another. Some of their most slSillful antics, says Youths Companion, will be followed by simply throwing themselves into ridiculous positions, intended solely to keep spectators in a good humor.
 You are startled to see them sudden Iy stand upon their heads, heels in air, or bend backward until their saucy little faces will be seen inverted be- tween their knees. Again, they will walk on their hands, and quite unex- pectedly change from their position, rolling and tumbling over each other, jumping, kicking or prancing, and trying in every way to attract the at tention of the paSser-by.
 One of them continually beats q small drum and sings at the top of his voice, doing his best to add Co the din, Their entire performance is given in the hope of earning few rin--a small copper coin, worth less than the tenth of an American cent.
 When foreigner passes the little acrobats rcdouble their efforts, for they know that they stand a chance of get ting a silver coin.
 These little people have often fol- lowed my jinrillisha for long distance, continuing their gymnastics, and some times their persistence becomes trouble. some, always hoping for an additional coin, and being ever ready to work for it, they carry out the decp-rooted prin- ciples of the Japanese character--in- dustry, patience and perseverance,
