years, said the senior member Of the

How did you manager"
~ took care of it. You know men are
always making disagreeable remarks
about women's watches, and when my
husband gave me mine he said it would
probably be out of order most of the

show him that there was one woman in
the world who knew how to take care
Of watch. "
But have you never lost it or had it
stolen?"
Never. I dropped it several times
at first, but it didn't show any marks. "
"But do the works never get out Of
order;"
"The what?"
"The works inside. Have you never
broken the handspring"

FLoTATloN OF SPIDERS.

An English Writer Discusses the Subject
and Cites Some Instances.
In an interesting communication to
Knowledge Oh "Spiders, " the Rev.
Samuel Barber discusses at some length
the phenomenon of the lotation line,
and it's method of attachment, which is
the foundation of the spiders web, Is
it not evident, asks the reverend gentle
man, that air-and probably at high
temperature-must be inclOsed within
the meshes of the substance forming the
line when it passes from the spinnecets
into the atmosphere? The creature with
this substance lifts it into the air. It
has been usual to explain the ascent by
the kite prinoiple-namely, the me-
chanioal force of the contiguous atmOs-
phere-but air movements, especially on
a small scale, are so caprioious and un-
controllable that without q directive
force the phenomena seem quite mex
plicable.
In support of this theory of direct
propelling force Mr.. Barber gives some
Of his own observations. Writing one
day with two sheets Of quarto before
him, he saw a small spider on the pa
per, and in order to test its power of
passing through the air no held one Of
the sheets of paper about foot from
that on which the creature was run
ming. 1t assembled to the edge and van
ished, but in q moment it landed upon
the other sheet through midair in a hor-
ixontal direction, and picked up the
thread as it advanced. In this case there
was no air movement to facilitate, nor
any time to throw line upward, which
indeed would not have solved the diff.
Guilty. On another occasion, at dinner
party in Kent, four candles were lighted
on the table, when a thread was seen to
be strung from the tip of one of the
lighted candles and attached to another
about yard off, and all the four lights
were connected in this way, and that
by web drawn quite tight.
The only explanation which Mr.. Bar
ber can suggest for this remarkable oo-
currence is that the spinner was sus-
pended at first by vertical line from
above and thus swayed itself to and fro
from tip to tip of the candles. 1t was
certain the spider could not have as
cended from the table, and it was equal
ly certain that aerial fotation Of the
line from fixed point was impossible,
as it involved floating in four opposite
directions, The rapidity with which the
initial movements in forming a web are
made cannot be reconciled with any
theory of a simple atmospheric oonveo-
tion, and propulsion appears the only
exclamation.

Miles on the Indian.

A champion has risen up for the In
dian in the person of General Miles.
The Indian fighter has become the most
earnest and aggressive of Indian defend,
ers This fact and an energetic defense
of General Custer are the salient points
in the Miles memoirs. In his opinion
the red man has distinguished himself
as diplomat, statesman and warrior and
may be good even while he is alive. In
speaking Of Custer, General Miles says,
81 have no patience with those who
would kick a dead lion, and he attrib.
utes the lions death in part to general
ignorance throughout the army as to the
strength Of the enemy, and in part to
the failure of Major Reno to assume re-
.sponsibility for the movements of his
forces. Chicago Journal.

CLOTHING AN .ARIMY.

1t Costs Great Britain Over $4,000, 900 to
Dress Its f,Oldiers.
1t costs the British government &c.
25O,OOO annua liy for clothing furnished
Its army al over the world. Each Of
the foreign possessions, however, has to
pay Laok bo q certain extent the amount
wniUh the uniforms OF the troops sta
toned or sent there has cost, and this
entails no end Of complicated bookkeep-
ing
india, for instance, pays for the cloth
ing of its own troops, and also for the
uniforms of the men which England
sends there. The latter item is about
1915, 900 annually. On the other hand,
when a regiment comes home from In
diR, that country has to be paid back
the full value Of the clothes they wear.
The government sells old and worn
out articles to the secondhand dealers,
who, by the way, usually accumulate
fortunes in short time. The value Of
CASTOR clothes so disposed Of is about
$40, 900 yearly. The scraps remaining
after the uniforms have been cut out
also bJ;pg a matter Of $50. 900 annual
ly. LII all the authorities receive back
about 81, ,500,00 thus reducing the to-
tai cost of clothing the army to less than
So, 000 900 year.
The best quality of everything is used
in the manufacture of uniforms, In
fact, it is said they are too good for du-
rable wear. A huge factory in Pimlico,
London, makes large share of the fur
nishings, but vast quantities of foot and
head gear are bought ready made. Boots
and leggings, for example, cost 81, 1885,
900 and headdresses $3.50, 900.
The thousands of miles of flannel,
linen, calico, cloth, velvet, ETC., the
millions of buttons, the tons Of cotton
wool, the billions Of yards of sewing
cotton, that are made into smart tunios,
tidy trousers and warm shirts cost $2,-
425, 900. The wages paid for making
these up are over SO, 900 a week. Some
of the salaries paid for this branch are
excellent for England. The inspector Of
clothing receives So, 600 and his assist
ants $2,750 apiece, and SO on down the
long list.
But all this vast expense is probably
much less than the annual outlay that
France or Germany makes for keeping
its soldiers smart in appearance in times
OF peace. In Germany, for example, ev-
cry man in the army is said to have
four complete suits of military clothing

VRGINIA's ICE NINE.
Int Is One of the Greatest Wonders In
This Country.

Int Is One of the Greatest Wonders In
This Country.
One Of the greatest curiosities in the
United States, or in the world, perhaps,
4 is the wonderful ledge Of ice which ex-
lists, even in the midst Of the hottest
lsummerSin Scott county, Va. This nat
ural icehouse is situated on the north
side Of Stone mountain and about six
miles from the mouth Of small stream
known as Stony creek. The marvel is
said to have been known to at least one
of the early settlers, q Mr.. Danridge,
who, it is alleged, discovered it while
deer hunting away back in 1880. Ow-
ing to the fact that the land ON which
it was situated could not be bought, Mr..
Danridge positively refused to tell Of
the whereabouts Of the ice ledge, and
only visited the place when it was alb
solutely necessary to obtain supply to
be used in case of sickness.
The old man died many years ago,
and from that time until 1898 the looa-
tion of Danridge's ice mine was un-
known, the old gentleman having never
even taken his own family into the Sc
Cret
In the year last mentioned, however,
a party of herb diggers visited the un-
frequented region contiguous to Stone
mountain and were fortunate enough to
redisoover the lost ice mine.
During two or three months in the
middle of summer the ice is only pro-
teCted from the suns rays by thick
growth of moss. The formation of the
ice layer is similar to that Of a coal
vein, being thin in some places and
thicker in others, the average thickness
being about four feet. Persons of some
scientific attainments who have visited
the place for the purpose of studying
the wonder say that it has the appear
ance Of having been there since the time
of the ice age, which the geologists talk
80 much about. Another plausible theo-
~ is that somewhere beneath the bed
is situated great natural laboratory
where ether is constantly formed and
expelled, and that the process of freez-
ing is now constantly going on. What
ever view is taken it is one of tho great
est natural wonders the state affords. -

Plating.

Very narrow plating is a favorite
dress trimming. A costume Of gray
camel's hair is made up in plain prin-
cess fashion. The waist closes at one
side, and the skirt, waist and sleeves
are, as one enthusiastic young woman
expressed it, absolutely smothered in
pinked out rufles of iridescent taffeta.
In addition to the plating these rufles
are plated, then drawn out little to
make fans, which are laid so as to form
bands of trimming from shoulders to
waist line as outlines for yokes and to
supply the place Of the almost collapsed
sleeves. One dress has an outlined yoke
Of very narrow pinked and plated
rufling. From the seams where the
sleeves are sewed in are similar ruftles
of varying widths, the lower one being
about Ia inches wide and the upper one
not over inches wide.-New York

And the beautiful face Of this West Side queen
Was suffused with sanity, angelic mien.

Row thu Greyhound Rescued the Little

''Talk about the sagacity Of dogs,
remarked Jenkins as he scornfully sur
yeyed the records of the good deeds
done by CANNES in general. "Why, /
saw something one day which beats the
World--something which, in addition
TO proving the reasoning power of dogs,
showed also that some Of them at least
possess great capacity for affection for
their own kind. A friend Of mine mp
town owns several dogs, among the lot
being magnificent greyhound and a
diminutive spaniel, the two dogs, not
withstanding the disparity in size, be-
ing warm friends. One summer day the
dog catcher wagon was making the
rounds and, as usual, was missing the
ours while corralling the animals which
are we'll taken care of. 1t happened that
my friend 8 front gate had been left open,
and the two dogs mentioned escaped
into the street just as the wagon turned
the corner. There was q great cry on
the part of the oatchers, who grasped
their nets and made a scramble for the
little spaniel, not seeming to like the
idea of tackling the big hound. The
poor little spaniel realized her danger
and attempted to escape, She few like
one possessed in every direction, only to
be headed off by the men with the nets
and score of small boys. She finally

Suddenly there was a fierce bark,
and the big greyhound came leaping into
the crowd, scattering the small boys
and compelling the cstchers to take to
the wagon. The hound reached the side
of the spaniel and, taking in the situa-
tion, reached down, grasped his wee
companion in his capacious mouth and
was off down the street like shot. He
didn't stop for the gate, but with a
great, graceful leap, was over the fence,
and then, gently depositing the spaniel
on the ground, stood wagging his tail,
as if knowing that he had discounted
their enemies, while the spaniel gam
boiled and made the welkin ring with

Thurston In 1893.

In letter to Mr.. George Gunton, ed
itor Of The Social Economist, New
York. under date Of July z, 1898, Sem
ator Thurston Of Nebraska said; ''The
recent events, instead of bringing me
to believe in the single gold standard,
have had quite the opposite result For
the world at large to abandon the use
Of silver as money would be to greatly
enhance the power of gold, to greatly
diminish the volume of money, and
thereby the borrowing classes and the
producing classes would be more at the
mercy of the money holders than they
ever have been heretofore. The United
States is a silver producing country, and
do not believe it can afford to let those
nations not silver producing compel it
to abandon silver as a money.
''It is better that we should, if neces-
sary, buy god at premium TO settle
our foreign balances with than that the
American people should be compelled to
pay higher prices in human labor and
human endeevor for q dollar because Of
the adoption of the single gold standard.

spiders' Eyesight.

How far away can q spider see a fly?
After several years of ingenious expert
menting Mr. and Mrs. Peckham, the
naturalists. have concluded that the
greatest average distance at which spi-
ders are able to see objects distinctly is
about one foot. Beyond that distance,
then, we may assume that a fly caught
in q spiders web would be safe from
detection by its enemy if its move
ments and struggles to get away did not
betray it. The same observers think
that spiders have the senses of color and
ofsmell, but feebly developed. Youths 8
