HOW TO BE POPULAR.

Some Hints For Debutantcs by u Man Who
Knows.
Always take it for granted that every
one means we'll by you unless you have
proof 20 the contrary. The average per-
son in society has a good natured or at
least cynical sort of tolerance and
liking for you. Very few actually hate
you or want to spite you. When you
find out that there is some one who
docs, don't discuss it or quarrel about
II If ii can be avoided. Just drop the
person from your life as completely as
possible, and, above all, never descend
to abuse him or her. 1t will hurt you
worse than it will your enemy.
Don't snub other women and girls
just because there is man around. The
man will not like you any better for ig-
morning a girl friend and earnestly de-
voting yourself to him. Il is the mar
ried women and your girl comrades
who can give you good time or not in
the end. Very few women dislike you
because of your successes. 1t is because
of your Haunting them.
Never ignore older aud married men.
They will not forgive it, aud they WELD
a mighty power.
Don't wonder what people are think
ing Of your pose, and your gown, and
your hands, and the position Of your
feet. Ten to one they don't oven see
yOu, ard if they do they are not bother
ing their heads about you. A very
young girls worst fault is her self con-
seriousness
Don't be wondering what you will
say next A pause is nothing deadly if
you do not make it so. Trying to say
Observation-Disclosures fill in hia-
tus is the most potent cause Of that
mistake commonly known as putting
your foot in it.
Don't giggle; but, on the other hand,
don't look as if you We're at wedding
or funeral.
Use your eyes to say what it doesn't
happen to be practical to say with your
tongue.
If you happen to be left stranded for
one dance, never sit all alone on one
side of the wall to be pitied. Get up
and go over to some group Of matrons
and don't fancy that the whole room is

Fooled by an Ola speech.

White, of Kentucky, while speaker of
the house in the Twenty-seventh con-
gress, was so pressed with business
that, when he had to deliver his vale
dictory, he got one of those men who
are always on hand to make a little
money TO write his address. 1t was
handed him just little while before
the time he had to deliver it, and lie
put it in his POCKET without reading it.
When the time came he rose and, slow
~ unfolding the manuscript, read the
address. 1t was very brilliant, but it
was Aaron Burr's famous valedictory
to the senate. The speaker never re-
covered from the shock. He went
home, was taken i'll, and it is supposed
he killed himself for shame.

International Mule Car LING.

The only international mule car line
in the world is the one which runs
across the bridge from El Paso, Tex, to
Juarez, Mexico. The solemn Mexican
Dogberrys whose duty it is to watch for
dutiable goods board the bobtails at
each trip and search for smuggled
wares with as much gravity as if the
whole world was breathlessly watching.
Recently they pounced upon lot of
lamp chimneys and wiclis which were
to be used for the car service, and in
their zeal to serve the country they de-
layed the traffic for half day until
they arrived at proper understand
ing of the matter.

FOURTH STREET.

The sensible business man and citl'
zen, with the interests OF the city hon
estly at heart, is not going TO allow
his anger to get the best Of his good
sense. There is no excuse for an eXhi-
bition of temper on the Fourth street
paving question and it is just as well to
keep an eye on the agitator who grows
frantic.
We have no desire to dictate to the
Council or to the citizens Of Fourth
street the action which they should
take. There is before them number
of bids for doing a mile of paving, the
lowest Of which is that Of T. b. Town
send, with Townsend block, and the
next lowest that Of W. j. Berry with
Jones brick or Athens block, ii Mr..
Townsend's material is mp to the speci-
fications and frst-class he should be
awarded the contract, unless for the
grayest of grave reasons.
OF course, fthe owners of property on
Fourth street should agree, with q ren.
sonable degree Of ununimity that they
desired higher priced material Council
would he justified in giving them that
material as they are the persons who
pay the most Of the bills. If the meet
ing at The Council chamber last night
is, however. "a criterion of Fourth street
sentiment. tha lowest bid is the ouiy
one to be accepted.

FIERCEST OF SPIDERS.

Peculiar Things Seen by an English
Naturalist in the Forests of Guiann
How u Lizard Was De-
prfyed of Its Prey.

Down in the steaming tropical for
ests of the Guianas, in South America,
where the climate during the rainy
season resembles Turkish bath, there
abounds what is probably the most
wonderful spider in the world 1tis the
great bird spider, the "Mygale avicu-
laria," which catches and kills not
only birds, but lizards, other small rep
tiles and even young chickens. The ma
tives who inhnbit those gloomy equa-
torial soltudes are accustomed from
the hour of their birth to all sorts of
horrible and deadly insects, butnone of
them-not even the tarantula or cent?
pede-is so dreaded as the terrible sea
spider, the tiger of its tribe. IL builds
it's nest in the trees. and there it lies
in wait, just rs the house spider does
for flies, leaping upon it's victims like
fierce and savage beast. An English
naturalist who recently returned from
long sojourn in the forests of Guiana
relates some interesting personal eX-
periences with this dreaded insect.

says this gentleman, 81 used to pass an
old tree, the trunk of which was slight

bark above the hollow family of bats
had affixed themselves, six of them,
hanging by their toes, noses downward.
They always clung in the form of tri-
angle, three bats in the upper row,
then row of two, a single bat at the
bottom.

but the next day his place had been sup

At another time I was hunting along
the shore for small birds among the
sea grapes, the hanging racemes of

they contained. The first bird 1 shot

We haven't been able Till last fall 20

if you prefer the Latin. For six or
seven years Kansas has been ander the

1894 all parties We'd with one another
in putting tommy rot into their plat
forms. You gentlemen here in Ohio
have doubtless noticed with conster-
nation what fads, what foolishpess,
what rank nonsense have passed cur
rent for Republicanism at one time or
another out in Kansas, When Jerry
Simpson ran for Congress the first time
the Repu blicans in his district stole his
platform bodily, and then absolved the
Republican nominee from the duty Of
abiding by the house caucus. The
people couldn't vote as they pleased.
They had to choose the less violent Of
two lunatics. For years a crowd Of
fellows dominated the Republican
party in Kansas, whose motto was
"Molasses catches more Aies than vim
egar." AS result the state platform
was more after fly trap than dec
laration of Republican principles.
These gentlemen saw that Kansas was
built on the installment plan, to be
paid for in small monthly payments.
They preached bogus way out OF
debt, because they believed that it was
a sure way into Office. They used to
tiptoe around among the delegates at
conventions telling them what was the

These political economists of the soft
soap school would stand proudly on a
platform recommending moonshine as

free and unlimited coinage of flap

INDIAN TRADITION.
What the Natchcs Indiana Believe
About Sun worship,


The strange legendary tradition
among the Natchez Indians concerning
the descent of their royal family from
the sun is thus partly explained by LIE
Page du Pratz in his "Histoire de la
Louisiana" He had questioned an old
man of the nation, keeper of the
Natchcz temple in which was kept
burning constantly their Sacrifice"
asking him whence the Natchez people
had come originally. "The tradition"
Qancienne parole), replied the keeper
of the temple, docs not tell of the land
from which we came; all that it teaches
us is that our forefathers came to this
land, followed the sun and came with
him from where he rises; that they
were long time on their journey, were
On the point of dying, all of them, and
that they found themselves carried into
this country without looking for it. Do
not ask me more concerning this thing"
said the keeper, "for the tradition says
nothing more on the subject, and no
old man will tell you more than what
| have told you" Does this imply q
flight of surviving band Of mound
builders from the east of the United
States, or is it an obscure and distorted
tradition of the march of the children
of Israel from the bondage of Egypt to
the promised land, led on their weary
journey through the wilderness by the
mystical pillar of fire and fed in their
extremity with mama from Heaven? :?

We're simultaneously joined together in
holy matrimony. The ceremony was
very pretty, all the brides and bride
grooms wearing Breton costumes, and
walking in procession round the town,
followed by their fathers and mothers,
their brothers, their sisters, their
cousins and their aunts. The wedding
breakfast was laid out in detachments,
hardly a building in the village being
exempt from making room for por-
tion. There were 1900 guests distrib-
uted among the lofts, barns and
kitchens; plates were conspicuous by
their absence, and dish of food was
supplied to every four persons. The fes-
tivities lasted for n week, and included
many curious old Breton customs.

well found q fine, rich surface soil at Il
depth of 100 feet. Digging through
this, the workman found gravel, clay
and water. The earth thrown out
was found, few weeks later, covered
with rich growth of tropicnl veseta-
tion. There were the date trees and
other varieties of palms, besides shrubs
plants, weeds and grasses in great
numbers, all totally unlike anything
which grew or could grow in the open

The east has its Mavericks" as well
as the west, but very likely not so many.
Since the cold weather, and especially
since the big snowstorm, the Humane
society has had complaints of unclaimed
cattle roaming about in the woods of
the neighboring towns, reports the
Hartford (Conn.) Courier. Near the
reservoir in West Hartford and Farm
ington three yearling heifers have been
reported in II half-starved condition and
so wild that it was almost impossible
to get near them. One was reported
near Pipe swamp in Windsor and Cen
Cral Agent Dwight ". Thrall, of the,
society detailed a man to go up there
and shoot the animal. This was done,
the heifer being killed instantly with
the first shot after getting within rea-
| sonable distance.
The probabilities are that these ami
mails are strays from some pasture dur
| ing the summer season and have been
given up for lost. During the early Win
ter, before the ground is covered with
snow. they manage to pick up enough
to eat by picking away in sheltered
| places at the little remaining vcTeta-
ton and keep warm by seeking the
| deep thickets of woods, notably pine or
hernlock, where the fallen leaves make
a comfortable bed. When the snow

SPIDER KILLING a BIRD,

e1ter," so called from its liking for
sugar and all sweet things, frequent
visitor to the sugar plantations during
the boiling season. 1t fell, as ] fred
into a dense cluster of sea. grapes; an
other bird attracted my attention just
then, and, first noting the location Of
the one l had shot, went in pursuit OF
the second. I soon returned, but could
not find my bird, though l knew he
must be somewhere near. As l was
pecring through the leaves, however, a
slight rustling drew my attention to
a very comical sight. 1t was a large
lizard, which, with one foot placed upon
the bird I had shot, was intertiy watch
ing me with his diamond-briGht eyes.
He had stripped off some of the feath-
ers from the dead bird, which he was
hastily dcvouring, having first drawn it
some distance from the spot where it
had fallen. Suddenly, just as I was
turning away, a black. hairy object fell
upon the lizard; there was a short,
sharp struggle. and my predatory
friend was still in death. Knight easily
