Spiders as Weather Prophets.

One of the best of weather prophets
is the spider. If there happens to be a
web in the secluded corner Of the porch,
watch it carefully for few days or
weeks, and the spider will unfailingly
predict the coming of storms.
When high wind or heavy rain
threatens, the spider may be seen tax
ing in sail with great energy-that is,
shortening the rope filaments that sus-
tain the web structure If the storm is
to be unusually severe or of long dura-
tion, the ropes are strengthened as we'll
as shortened, the better to resist the on
set of the elements. Not until pleasant
weather is again close at hand will the
ropes be heightened as before On the
contrary, when you see the spider run
ming out the slender filaments it is Ger
tain that calm, fine weather has set in,
whose duration may be measured by
their elongation.
Every "a hours the spider makes some
alteration in its web to suit the weather.
If these changes are made toward even
ing, just before sunset, a fine, clear
night may be safely counted upon.
When the spider sits quiet and dull in
the middle of its web, rain is not far
off. If it be active, however, and con-
tinues so during a shower, then it will
be of brief duration, and sunshine will
follow. Chicago Record.

Men With Mem cries.

The advantages of good memory to
the historian are obvious, and we find
it said of Gibbon that when he had once
read a book it was of no further use to
him; it was as a sucked orange and
could be thrown away. Carlyle like
wise had prodigiously retentive mind,
while of Macaulay's proves in this
line there are many stories told. He
could read a book in the time 1t would
take another man to cut the leaves,
and, Notwithstanding this lightning
rapidity, he knew it all perfectly. Once,
when crossing the Irish channel, he re-
peated to himself the whole of para
disc Lost" and it was said that if all
Millions works were lost Macaulay
could have restored them from memory.
While waiting in a Cambridge coffee
house for a post chaise he picked up a
country newspaper containing two po-
litical pieces, which he read once
through and never thought of again for
40 years, when he was able to repeat
them without the change of single
word. Words.

Superintendent Price has tried the

Negroes at Camp Meeting Act Out the
Scripture Story In Detail.
A colored camp meeting, which has
been in progress at Urbana, Ind. closed
recently with a representation of the
Scriptural story of the prodigal SON.
Rev. @. Clark, a Methodist minister,
preached a sermon from the text. When
he had half finished, Abe Harris, we'll
dressed colored man i'll the audience,
rose and retired.
Just at the conclusion Harris, attired
in rags and looking the personification
of misery, reappeared and announced
his return to his fathers household. He
was embraced by the ministers and
others, bathrobe that reached to his
knees was thrown about him and he
was led to fire, where calf was
roasting, and huge piece of veal was
given him. Harris devoured it eagerly.
The remainder of the veal was divided
among members of the household, and
the meeting, which attracted a large
crowd, was dismissed. - Cincinnati

rh. Fnture If the Red MAN.

Having briefly reviewed some of our
past history, the fact must be admitted
that when the white men first visited
our shores we were kind and confiding,
standing before them like a block of
marble before the sculptor, ready to be
shaped into noble manhood. Instead of
this, we were oftener hacked to pieces
and destroyed
1t is useless to deny the charge that
at times we have been goaded to vim
diotive and cruel acts. Some of my own
tribe, however, were soldiers in the
northern army during the civil war.
Some of them were taken and held pris-
orers i'll the rebel prisons, and the
cruelty which, according to the tales
they tell, was witnessed there was never
outdone in border warfare with the
scalping knife and tomahawk, and yet
I believe that had the northern people
been placed in the south under like cir
cumstances their prisoners of war
would have been treated with similar
cruelty. 1t was the result of desperate
effort to save an expiring cause. be-
lieve there is no reasonable person, we'll
grounded in United States history, who
will not admit that there were ten
times as many who persisted miserably
in southern prisons as have been killed
by our people since the discovery of
America. recall these facts not to
censure, but to show that cruelty and
revenge are the offspring of war, not of
race, and that nature has placed no i'm
passable gulf between rs and civiliza-
tion.
While I most heartily indorse the
present policy of the government in
dealing with our people, must admit,
to be true to my own convictions,
that am worried over the ration sys-
tenn, under which so many of our people
are being fed on the reservations. I
greatly fear it may eventually vaga-
bondize many of them beyond redemp-
ton. It permits the gathering of lazy,
immoral white men of the worst stamp,
who spend their time in idleness and in
corrupting Indian morality Simon

About four years ago, while playing

A remarkable instance of dirt eating
came to light at Maysville Ga, a few
days ago, Liza Wellington, negro
woman about SO years of age, entered a
doctors office and called for medicine
to make her quit eating dirt" The
physician asked few questions and
found that the woman was in the habit
of eating a washbasinful Of dirt daily
The woman declared that the dirt gave
her more satisfaction than first class
meal at the hotel, and that she had
taken SO much dirt from the back of a
chimney on Mr.. Brazeltons farm and
used it as an article of diet that the
chimney was in danger of falling. The
doctor says that the woman's health is
not seriously impaired. She has an aghy
appearance, but is active and strong
enough. Atlanta Constitution.

Two Brawny Young Britons Who Want to

Two stalwart young Englishmen
came to America recently on their way
around the world. They are cousins,
and their names are J. N. Telcote and
Wickham Telcote, The father of the
former has large mining interests in
Wyoming, which, young TeIcote &C
knowledged, have panned out exceed
ingly we'll, and these two on their way
west will invest $4,000 additional in
the same locality.
"Our trip is partly pleasure one,
too" said one of the pair "We have
our rifles with us and expect to have a
try at some elk in Montana this autumn.
Then we will cross the Pacific and will
go home through Siberia, where we ex-
pect to have some more big shooting.
We don't intend to be back in England
again before next July"
The pair are evidently enthusiastic
sportsmen. One said he had hunted

Unfortunate Omission.

One of the most singular instances OF
punishment for an oversight was that
shown by the commitment of an alma
nae maker to the BastilIe in 1717.
It was made out by order of the Duke
of Orleans, regent during the minority
of Louis V of France, and read as fol-
lows:

King George in not mentioning him
in his almanac as king of Great Brit

time of the revolution, failed to throw
any light OH the subject. Youth
