spiders and Their Ways.

We find as marked differences i'll hab-
its, tastes and characters among spiders
as among human beings. Some kinds
prefer always living i'll houses d. cell
lars, not seeming to care for any fresh
air or out of door exercise. Mr.. jesse
tells of two spiders that lived for IS
years i'll opposite corners of u drawer
which was used for soap and candles.
Others delight i'll making burrows in
the earth, il: dwelling under stones or
behind the loose bark on trees, and 9TH
ers live under water. Many never leave
their webs, but patiently wait, hoping
some insect will become entangled in
the snares they have set. Others dash
about and seize upon every luckless i'll
sect that crosses their path. The most
adventurous of all are those that sail
out into the world on one of their own
little threads.
In the bright autumn weather, if we
observe closely, We may sometimes see
some Of our own small spiders ascend
to the tops of trees, fences and other
high objects, rise OH their toes, turn the
spinners upward, throw out a quantity
Of silk and sail away. They grasp the
silken thread with their feet and seem
to be enjoying themselves as much as
the birds and butterflies w.

DR.. Nicoll on American Neyyspapcrs.

Dr.. Nicoll, who came to this country
with Mr.. Barrie, read the American
newspapers while he was here and au-
daciously admits that he liked them.
He has confessed to The Westminster
Budget that in his opinion no American
institution is more misunderstood abroad
than the press. He thinks our newspa
pers less sensational than they seem to
be and says, very truly, hat you may
look i'll vain in them for such matter us
the divorce reports which the most prop
er English papers publish. Undoubted-
~ we Americans like the newspapers
we have better, on the whole, than u
others in the market, but we are 80 CON
tinually advised that our passion for
them is guilty, that while we satisfy it
with prodigality we seldom attempt to
Justify or even to excuse it, SO that to
hear our journals praised by a visitor
excites emotions of considerable novel;
ty. After all, a liking for newspapers
is, like a liking for ones fellow crea-
lures, apt to concentrate itself on indi-
viduals. If DIR. Nicoll had been impoli-
tic enough to say which American pa
pers he liked, his comments would have
gained in interest all that they lost III
discretion. -Harper's Weekly.

Mar of the Kootenai,

The most complete and artistic mar
of the rich mining region of the Koo.
tenai and adjacent territory in Wash.
ington and British Columbia, has lust
been published by the Northern Pacific
railway. 1t is just what is needed by
those going to that country or who de.
sire to study and know about it.
The map is made in relief, is 25x1S
inches in size between borders and has
in connection with ton the same
page-two smaller maps that show the
relation of the region to the world at
at large.
The principal drainage of the coun-
try is laid down in blue. the trails and
roads are shown, the railways plainly
indicated, the names of important
towns printed in large black letters,
and the topography is represented in
brown. AS far as the ore deposits are
known they r indicated in q general
way by red lettering.
The country shown upon the map
includes particularly, the Slocan, Koo.
tenai lake, Cariboo creek, Deer Park,
Nelson, Salmon river, Trail or Rossland
and the Boundary creek regions. It
shows the Arrow lakes and the Lar.
deau country and some portions of the
Okanogan region.
The map is compiled from reliable
and official data and shows the mining
district subdivisions and the eleva.
tions of the mountains and lakes.
The opposite of the sheet contains
an accurate statement and decription
of the country, showing its discovery
and development to the present time

The Ring Mountain. of til. Moon.

The moon is really and truly a great
planet Of mountains, its whole visible
surface being dotted with elevations of
curious shapes and Of extraordinary
height. We say 'its whole visible sur
face and hasten to explain that we
make this statement simply because the
eye of man has never seen but one side
Of the surface of the moon. What we
see convinces us that the little planet is
extremely mountainous, for on the
lend" exposed to our view there are no
less than 80, 600 peaks, varying in
height from 1900 feet to 4 miles.
When we consider the fact that this lu-
marian world is only one thirty-second
part as large as the earth we can easily
sec why it deserves the title of the
''planet of great mountains" There is
q peculiar thing about these 3 10000
moon peaks. Each and every II of
them has a ringlike form, the open end
Of the conical point being of greater Or
lesser diameter, according to the height
Of the mountain. In a low grade telc-
scope these peaks resemble true volca-
noes, but when viewed through a high
grade glass it is seen that the depres-
sion in the center Of the queer "ring
mountain is often SO great as to be be-
low the general level of the surrounding
country. The depth Of these depressions
is calculated in q curious manner-by
figuring on the relative shadows they
cast when the sun is shining full upon
them. The diameter Of these 'ring
mountains'' varies greatly, some Of the
larger ones being so, 100 or even $50
miles, while the smaller look like post
holes when viewed through q good tele.

Quaint nird Legend.

The Medical Press, in a recent refer.
ence to a work on some old legends in
connection with drugs, said: 'It would
be interesting to know if the bird which
the author calls 'aster' is known to
modern ornithologists. Speaking Of it,
he remarks that its scent is said to be
SO strong that fishes are drawn by it us
he is flying owe the river, and so taken
up by him, having leg like a hawk,
the other like u duck" 1t is not diff
cult, however, to identify the bird in
question. 1t is the osprey (Pandion ha.
~li@tus), which, although not today
classified under the genus astur, is re-
lated to it. In the Rev. G. Swainson's
"Folklore of British Birds'' there is q
reference to it from Shakespeare, Cor
iolanus," act 4, scene B.:
Autidius, loq.-
A . is the osprey to the fish
Who takes it
By sovereignty of nature.
And in Peele's play, called "The
Battle of Alcazar'' (1594), act 2, scene Il:
will provide thee of a princely ospray,
That, us She tiieth over fish i'll pools,
The fish Shall turn their clustering bellies up,
And thou shall take thy liberal choice of all.

sal.ins Fruits,


1t is the custom i'll Italy to ship fruits
i'll large casks filled with salt and brine.
The fruit is sliced or cut i'll pieces and
Immediately pat into the pickle. This
fashion of shipping has its advantage
over ordinary methods i'll that the fruit
prepared need not be so fresh as that
which is shipped whole and wrapped III
papers or packed i'll boxes. Fruits of
this sort are subjected to the most rigid
scrutiny, as IL imperfect specimen
may infect the entire parcel. The saltcd
fruit upon reaching it's destination is
soaked ill fresh water until all traces of
salt have disappeared. While this meth
cd may be tolerated in emergencies, the
flavor and quality are so much impair
ed that shippers are looking for some
other way of preserving their product

tons that influence the welfare Of the mu-
nicipality
Mrs. Charles E. Conant, who is by training
and profession a lawyer and familiar with
the practical aspects Of the club movement
through her afiliation with the federation OF
woman's clubs, spoke in much the same
strain. She dwelt with special emphasis on
the influence exerted by the federation OF
womans clubs, and cited the bills. VIII On
were passed by the legislature at the lass
session. OF the total number, something over
twenty, all but three were presenter WIN
backing Of woman's clubs. She recalled tie
bill for travelling libraries, which was de-
vestigation that the districts which lost the
deciding votes, were not presented In the
Womans Federation Of Clubs. She closed her
arguments, the facts in which bore their own
testimony to her position in regard 10 the
question under discussion, with the advice,
"If you are in need of a weapon, offensive
or defensive use a club"
Miss Cratic Countryman was the hrst speak,
er on the discussion of 1.-THE Interests of

Municipal Franchises" looking for the day
when the public highways should be regarded
as public property, when special privileges
should be out of the hands of the monopolists
and In the hands Of the city, citing the ex-
amplss of old world cities. She believed that
municipal franchise does not mean much to
woman except as she is an individual, as she
asked no special privileges for woman, only
that of a recognition of her equality.
Mrs Robert Pratt followed with the topic,
identifying Our City," in which she paid
tribute to all that the park board had done,
referred to the efforts of the Woman's I'm
provement league, and appreciated the value
of woman's influence in directing the progress
of street improvement.
Mrs Martha G. Ripley spoke for the school
board asking mainly for more schools in
which to house the 49, 900 children.
Rev. Anna Shaw said two or three words in

MILLER PLEADS GUILTY.
Not Anxious to Be Returned to the
Nebraska Prison.

MANKATO, Mimi, Nov. 16-Cyrus
B. Miller, the late tenant Of the den
under the Yeager schoolhouse, in this
county, has pleaded guilty to the
charges brought against him here. He
denies many Of the thefts laid at his
door. He will be sentenced later.
Miller is a study for the man who
toys with the bumps on ones head.
His stealings, all told, would not
amount to a great sum of money, but
the manner in which he went about
these robberies shows - that he is as
cunning as a fox. 1t is a question in
the minds of many whether he stole
with criminal intent, or did it simply
to supply his own wants, iaboring
under the delusion that the thefts
would not be discovered. 1t has al
ways been a mystery why Miller cary
ed out his rendezvous under the Yea
ger schoolhouse. He has never given
lucid explanation of this more than
to say he wanted to be alone; he want
ed secrecy; he wished to getaway from
the world, and in the seelusion of the
room he had made for himself he read
books and studied. How long he in
tended to make this den his home will
probably never be known. Miller re-
fuses to discuss this phase Of the case.

READY FOR THE JURY.
Testimony in the Howard Case Is
All In.

Testimony in the case of the state against
John r. Howard is all in, and arguments
to the jury begun. The defendant in the
case took the stand yesterday morning and
gave the lie to almost all the evidence intro
duced through Billings. He admitted the pay
ment of $40 at Buffalo, which was handed out
at the solicitation of Billings on account OF
past service. As to having any understanding
with Billings in reference to the Zeck case,
there was not a word of truth in 1t from first
to last. The witness was calm and thorough
in his answers and made a good impression.
At this point the defense rested, and the
state sWore Jennie Billings and Otis l.. Bill
lings in turn, to show that Mr.. A. OHair had
come to their restaurant and tried to get
Billings to leave the city, offering to pay
the expenses. This was only a few months
ago, it was claimed.
F. D. Larrabee was sworn, and In spite
of the fact that he is strongly interested for
the prosecution, his testimony corroborated
exactly the evidence given by the Great North
ern officials as to his talk and actions at the
time he went to their Office in an attempt
to obtain settlement. He said he made the
offer because his first duty was to his client,
Zeck.
''Did you have that case on a contingent
fee?" asked a juror.
eyes. sir l did was the reply.
''Do you understand the law regarding COM
pounding of a felony?" asked Mr.. Brown.
Hardly. Do you mean common o,I law?
mo. l can't say that l do"
'"That's enough then, you are excused, "
cried Mr.. Brown.
Billings was placed in the stand again by
the state for some unimportant testimony,
Of Fraser and others for the period covering
the alleged bribery introduced. This closed
the case and Attorney General Childs began
the arguments to the jury.
