1t has long been pointed out by ex'
perts that French newspapers and
books will, owing to the inferior quail
ity of the paper on which they are
printed, literally turn to dust in much
less than a century, so that public IL
braries bid fair to become literary
cemeteries. This is the reason why the
budget committee proposes to have 100
copies of the Journal Officiel printed
daily on what is called Dutch paper, to
insure preservation.

The Second Wedding Gown

What is the correct wedding dress for
"A widow bride? asks Lady Violet Gre
vile, a literary belle of London. Shall
she compete with her virgin sisters and
wear white, or must she cen take
refuge in cool gray, soft lilac or ceru-
lean blue? Hitherto white has been
tabooed as the color Of innocence. to
which the widow, guileful as she is
supposed to be, dares no longer pre-
tend. Now, however, we have changed
all that, A fashionable woman, marry
ing for the second time, wore white
satin trimmed with sable at her we'd
ding the other day. The charm is
broken. and other brides will follow
suit. -

with it's wings and the dragon fly 1,50O
In the case of the fly the GOO strokes
oause an advance movement of twenty
v e feet. These are figures on Or

the fly is capable Of increasing both
the strokes and advance movement
sevenfold.

The defense of Macbeth" in these
days for the murder of Duncan"
would be hypnotic influence, and the
conjugal partner, of course, could
prove an alibi. Shakespeare knew
nothing Of such legal ~refinements, and
visited upon the two the torments~ of
conscience and the sternest retribution.
A grain of the poets insight is worth
a pound of fiimsy inventions of the
modern criminal lawyer.

WATER SPIDERS.
Their Taste IncIines to GA Life on
the Ocean Wave"

Their Taste TncIines to ga Life on
the Ocean Wave"
Some of the spider family have a
liking 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 IL of
them some day on the banks of a
stream.
This curious little spider builds a
pretty house of silk about the size and
shape of a thimble. This house is
fastened among the water plants grow
ing under the water, and naturalists
tell us that when her house is finished
the spider carries air in her body, bub-
BILE 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 II corner of the house.
And her children live until they
grow big enough to build little thimble
castles for themselves.
Another curious little fellow is called
the raft spider. This creature con-
structs an odd little raft Of leaves and
sticks, held together by the silken
threads which all spiders use. On this
raft the spider sails about. not stopping
in any one place, but steering his little
boat wherever the fancy takes him.
His food consists of small insects which
he finds in the water around him. He is
said to be able to run upon the water
as well as sail upon it, SO altogether he
is quite an accomplished creature. His
little raft is his home, his castle, his
yacht and his nursery, and he doubtless
finds "a life on an ocean wave quite
to his taste.

the place of manual labor in grinding
and polished avs. No man can grind
a saw blade as quickly and evenly as
a machine an, but large circular saws
are still sometimes ground on the i'm
mense grindstones. When they are
ground by machinery the disk moves
backward and forward between two
large stones, which give 1t just the
right surface. When the saws are pol
ished they are placed in a machine
which automatically sharpens the teeth.
Then the handles are fitted on and the
sa ws are tested and packed.-Chicago
