The Spider As a Manufacturer.

N. Cachot is Frenchman who has
solved the problem Of utilizing the
web Of the spider by turning it into
silk of a beautiful and fairy tineness.
A delicate little machine containing a
number Of tiny bobbins is made to re.
yolve continuously by q light-running
gear. The end Of the web is caught
while it is still attached to the spider,
and the little machine is set in motion.
The spider does not seem to mind hay
ing its web pulled off, and the move.
ment is continued until the spider has
completely surrendered its shining
structure. It is then released, put
aside and fed until it has recuperated
its powers, and q fresh spider attached
to the gear. M. Cachot intends es-
tablishing a large factory near Paris,
and is advertising in the French papers
for large quantities Of spiders.
The thread of the silkworm is said
to be one-thousandth of an inch in d.
ameter.

full significance of her release.
Mrs. Belmont, coming in and seeing
at glance that Sally had heard the
news, was wild with expressions Of
grief and despair. Sallie, however,

And snatching up waterproof, she

out, along the cliff, slippery now with

this her punishment. With sob she
threw herself on the wet ground, and
with her lips pressed hard on her en-.

folds of the waterproof fallen upon the
shelf of rock.
How long she remained there she
never knew, but it seemed hours Of
black horror, Of utter establishment
and contrition. At last she felt a hand
laid softly on her head, and an eager,
tender voice spoke low in her ear
"Sally! Sally, dear! Did you think
T was never coming?'
For o moment it seemed too good to
be true; then with faint cry, she let
him draw her up, trembling and weak

"Dear heart, your mother said

The fingers Of her disengaged left

wore, and her eyes were wet, and she
whispered with trembling lips

Fluffy Maine Coon Cats.

Cat-loving visitors to Maine are sure
to bring back to their homes in other
States the pretty, fluffy, little coon
cats for which Maine has reputation.
Some of these animals in their normal
condition are very little different in
appearance from the ordinary cat, but
in the presence Of her enemy, the dog,
all the long, soft hair Of Miss Kitty
Coon stands on end, and she swells
yisibly until she has a barrel-like ap.
pearance. A bandbox with air holes,
if seen on a Maine train, is almost sure
to be the travelling home of one of
Names feline products.

THE OLD HOMESTEAD.

Its WORKOUT acres fallow lie,
Imprinted the orchard stands
For they who tended them long since
Have gone to other lands
One to the prairies OF the West,
And one across the sea;
The rest have reached that blessed Country
Where partngs may not be.
The elm boughs tap the skylight dim
AS in the days agone,
They tapped to waken merrily
The little folk at dawn.
The Woodbne curtains tenderly
The shattered window pane,
Yet grants admittance to its friends,
The sunshine and the rain.
No step, no whisper. breaks the hush.
But hist A sweep Of wings
Athwart the attic's dreaming dusk,
And tender twitterings!
A tenant for the empty nest?
See-from the window lilo
A phoebe bird calls to it's mate
Upon the cradles edge!
And in the cradle, vacant long,
Four downy iledgelings peep
And cuddle close. They'll dream Of wings
And twitter in their sleep
All through the quiet summer night;
While on the dingy wall
Fit silently the thin, weird shapes
That come at moonlight's call.
0, life and love that were Of yore!
0, sad old house bcreft
TO thee but memory's treasured store
And tho little birds are left.
One OF thine own is in the West,
And one across the foam;
The rest are in that fairest Land
OF Home, Sweet Home.

Food of Mountain Climbers.

Professor Tyndall used to say that
his Alpine guides ate butter and honey
while climbing, as finding that they
supplied the greatest amount of heat
and nourishment. He himself nibbled
cake Of chocolate every two hours
while on the mountains. These facts
supply hints to tourists everywhere.
Nowadays, one may easily, too, carry
soup-squares, or tea-tablets, to. be
readily made into a refreshing drink
with the addition of hot water.
