The Reporter.

Who is II gathers up the news,
Fires, accidents, mems ways and views,
Records the crimes, their punishment,
Who's left the town, which way they went,
The state Of trade, who has been wed
And who Is injured. sick or deadi
The reporter. ..
Who comes upon you unawares
And dettly learns Of your affairs
And takes your rebuffs In good part
And does not quail nor yet lose heart,
But fnds out all he wants to know
Before he takes his hat to 60? ~
The reporter. ~
a:r-
Who tireless Is and knows no fear,
But takes assignments far and near;
Makes no complaint, does not demur,
But hustles out and makes things purr.
Runs down the tacts-peIhaps q stick
And writes column double quick?
The reporter.
Who, while the author writes for fame,
Afixes to his tales no name?
Who. while the artist captures praise,
Unnoted goes his varied ways?
Who gets few thanks and little rest,
But all the same still does his bests

How Masks Are Made.

Paper masks are made by doubling
one sheet of a specially prepared pa
per, wetting it and molding it by hand
over a face form. 1t is then dried by
artificial heat. Openings are cut for
eyes, nose and mouth, and it is painted
and decorated by hand as desired.
Wire masks are made by stamping g.
piece of wire netting about a foot
square over face mold in a large ma
chine, inclosing the rough wire edges
in narrow strip of lead. Then it is
painted. The painting is done by hand
in oil colors.-Cincinnat Enquirer.

In Icrob1fIe gusder

A curious instance Of the ability of
IN insect to successfully measure dis
lance was evidenced once while was
travelling through northern Argentina.
l first made the acquaintance Of my
friend on the back vcranda Of a little
village tavern. l was lying In n ham
mock. About two feet from me was
3 by inch hand rail Of wood, support
ed by wooden balusters. AS I lay there
I noticed fly alight on the top of the
wood. While watched him, the fly
apparently turned into a spider. /
could not believe my eyes, but on
closer inspection I saw that a spider
jumped from somewhere and alighted
on top of my fly.
I thought this worth watching and
found that this was his method Of
procedure: A fly would alight on top
of the railing, the spider would take in
the distance at glance and would dis
appear down the side Of the rail, walk
along toward the fly, but out of sight,
until he reached the place on the side
Of the rail at right angles to the posi-
tion occupied by the fly when he last
saw 1t. Then he would walk nearly
to the top of the rail and fasten his
web, then walk down, paying out his
web as he went till he was as far
from the place where he had fastened
his web as was the fly, then one Wig
orous leap. the web swinging him
round in the arc Of circle, and he
would alight on top Of the fly.
l have never seen one miss this
seemingly difficult leap, except when
the fly left his position before the
spider had finished his preliminaries.

The burden LITTER.

She Is not a bud Of fashion. not butterfly Of
style,
And there are no bogus trimmings in the make up
OF her smile;
Needs no artificial fixing to enhance her girlish
charms,
And q god would go in raptures o'er the plump
ness OF her arms
Az she washes up the dishes and the minutes
speed along
Dancing gayly as they pass her to the music OF
her songi
In her eyes a soft expression Of pure maternal
love
That must surely be the envy Of those angels up
above.
She's the Joy Of every home
Underneath yon arching dome
Till she gives her hearts affection to another;
Lucky he who wins the true,
Loving, loyal maiden who
Tries to lift the daily burden from her mother.
When the weekly toll is over and she dons her
Sunday gown.
There is not pampered darling on the earth can
turn her down
In the winning game Of beauty; not fashionable
pearl.
Though ablaze with costly jewels, can outshins
the mother girl
Sweet simplicity is noted in her unassuming
grace,
And she needs no color touching to put bloom
into her face,
For the blood Of health is coursing through her
veins her rosy blush
LINT made for the occasion by the decorative
brush.
She's the very fsirest gem
In our beauty diadem,
Search creation. and you cannot find another
On the face Of all the earth
That possesses half the worth
OF the girl who lifts the burden from her mother.
