FLY DUG THE SPIDERS GRAVE.
Grave Digger Took the Measurement
of His Victim Eight Times.

Samuel Simon, ST., a well-known resi-
dent of N~eshannock township, Pa,
while strolling near his home one day
recently noticed a fly about half an
inch long, and of a dark blue color, with
a slim body, bearing a large dead spider,
reports the New Castle Democrat. The
fly crossed his path and laid his load
down. 1t then went about Is inches in
another direction and commenced dig
ging a hole in the ground. His curl
osity being excited, he stopped and
watched the work. After the fly had the
hole dug about half the length of him
self he went to where he had left the
spider and took his dimensions. After
going back to the hole he found 1t was
not big enough and commenced dig
ging again. After taking out q guam
tity of earth he again went to the
spider and took his dimensions. he did
this eight times and as often enlarged
the hole. When the busy little fellow
had the hole too deep for him to throw
the earth clear out he would go on to
the bank and force it back with his
feet. After he had the excavation large
enough for his purpose he went for
the spider and took it to the grave, for
such it proved to be, and dragged 1t
to the mouth of the hole. After he had
the body in he covered it with fine earth
dust and finished by placing a small
piece of cinder On top. When he had
finished the work he flew away. The
whole time consumed was exactly IS
minutes, as Mr.. Simon says he sat and
watched the whole performance.

WEARS A MASK.
Mysterious Man who Works I'm q
Maine Quarry.

HuAhc 0u"E
A mysterious figure, with an indie
scribable atmosphere of horror about
II. may be seen in a quarry at North
Jay, Me-, says the New York Journal.
1t is that Of a workman who wears
p~erpetually a black mask. He does his
work almost like any other man, but
never utters a word. The men move
as if he differed in no wise from one of
them.
But the stranger who sees this silent
man with a black mask in place Of a
face, feels a cold chill run down his
back. The few visitors who have seen
him will never forget their experience.
The truth is that he has no face. His
name is John Mcdonald. Ten years ago,
when he was working at his present
trade, he fell a victim to a terrible blast
ing accident.
A shower of broken stone driven by
dynamite struck him. His face was lit
orally blown off. Eyes. nose, teeth and
a large portion of both jaws were carried
away.
A mask of light black material was
made for him. . 1t extends from the
top of the forehead to the throat, and is
strapped on securely in w places,
above the ears and around the throat.
1t serves both TO spare the feelings of
others and to protect the scar.
The mask follows roughly the out
lines of a face, leaving depressions for
the eyes, a nose and a hole for the
mouth. He is able t o masticate food
slightly with the remains of his jaw.

A HARMLESS NARCOTIC.
sleep Without Any Bad Re-
suits following


In the insane asylum for women at
the City of Mexico it has been observed
for some time past that most Of the
cases of death were due to congestion
of the brain, s~uperinduced by the large
quantity of the particular narcotic adj
ministered TO the patients TO overcome
the insomnia which is IN almost in
variable accompaniment of mental
alteration, says the st. Louis Globe
Democrat. DR.. Lopez Hermosa, who
has charge of this asylum, commune
Gated his experience in this respect to
DR.. Altamirano, principal of the Ma
tional Medical institute, with the re-
quest that, as the institute made a

cerebral disturbances.
DR.. Altamirano was not long in an
swering that he knew of a substance
such as we desired, which was nothing
but an extract fronl the seed of the
white zapote. This narcotic has been
tried at the insane asylum for women,
with the result that it has been found
TO produce a tranquil sleep and does
not lead to cerebral congestion, for since
II has been in use no case of death from
that disease has occurred. Moreover,
it has been found that this extract,
mixed with the tnomides best suited
to each particular case of insanity, di-
minishes the violcn ce Of attacks as well
as their duration and frequency. This
discovery is considered of great i'm
