The spider and tho running Fork

A gentleman was recently watching
some spiders, when It occurred to him
to try what effect the sound of tun-
ing fork would have upon them. He
suspected that they would take 1t for
the buzzing Of fly. He selected
large, ugly spider that had been feast
ing on flies for about two months. The
spider was at one edge Of its web.
Sounding the fork, the man touched a
thread OF the other side and watched
the result,
Mr.. Spider had the buzzing sound
conveyed to him over his telephone
wires, but how was he to know on
which particular wire Il was travel
ing? He ran to the center of the web
very quickly and felt around until he
touched the thread against the other
end of which the fork was sounding;
then, taking another thread along, just
as man would take an extra piece of
rope. he ran out to the fork and sprang
upon II. Then he retreated little way
and looked at the fork. He was puz-
zled. He had expected to find buzz
ing fly. Then, strange to say, he got
on the. fork again and danced with de-
light. Evidently the sound was music
to him.

Nerve. and Hair Picking.

"Persons whose nerves are in any
way out of gear should not pick hair"
observed well known specialist In
nervous diseases to a reporter, "and
indeed am almost willing TO go fur
ther and to say that they should not
handle mattresses or pillows stuffed
with hair. The tactile nerves, the
nerves that are located in the ends of
tho fingers, seem to be specially affect
ed by handling Of hair or animal wools
of any kind.
"Many good housewives do them
selves great injury in picking hair in
the repair or alteration of mattresses,
and, while they think they will save
money by doing such work themselves,
they often find out that, besides the
personal suffering in consequence, they
pay out many times in doctors and
medicine bills what they save from
mattress makers.

frequently than women, however, who

his patients initiate the drowsy nod
dings of tired man while sitting In a
chair.
Every one who has ever watched n
sleepy man Ia train has probably
been amused by the neck dlstorting
mods which herald the approach Of
sleep. If the observer has given any
thought to the subject at all. he has
probably decided that the contortions
are due to the sleeper's unconscious ef.

A Elxlng Stnr.

On summer evening you may see
Arcturus high up in the south or south
west in June or July and farther down
IN the west in August or September.
You will know 1t by its red color. That
star has been flying straight ahead
ever since astronomers began to OBJ
serve 1t at such speed that it would
run from New York to Chicago In a
small fraction of minute. You would
have to be spry to rise from your
chair. put on your hat and overcoat
and gloves and go out on the street
while 1t was crossing the Atlantic
ocean from New York to Liverpool.
And yet If you should watch that star
all your life, and live as long as Me
thuselnh, you would not be able to
see that IL moved at all. The journey
that 1t would make in II thousand years
would be as nothing alongside its dis
tance.-Professor Simon Newcomb In

The Chinese rejoice in wonderful
talent for inaccuracy In every detail.
For instance, pound or pint varies
as it suits the merchants fancy. In
some part you get half or quarter
as much as you do In others for the
same price and measure.
Then. again, their way of calculating
distance does not at all tally with Flu
cid. For instance, you are told from
A to b Is four miles, but from to A
is eight miles. If you ask how this is
possible, you are told it depends from
which end you start; If you start from
A, 1t is down hill, so much easier to
walk; whereas, starting from b, you
have to walk up hill, which is much
more exerting and fatiguing-in fact,
1t Is the same as walking longer dis
tance on even ground.
This form of argument always anus
ed me nearly as much as the way the
Chinese have of counting a persons
aye by tens. "My mother" they will
tell you, sis 30" Tor 40D. When she
leaves 80, she is getting near 40.

Every day adds to the list of deaths
attributed to heart failure. If the
truth were told the bulk Of these
deaths might be written down as due
to stomach failure. For it is in the
failure Of the stomach and other organs
of digestion and nutrition, that cweak I"
heart, oweak lungs, weak " nerves and
other forms of physical deterioration
having their beginning. The man whose
stomach is sound, who can digest and
assimilate the food he eats, and so keep
each organ Of the body we'll iiourished,
is the man who is least liable to collapse
under the sudden weakness of some
vital organ.
The preservation of health which fol-
lows the use of DIR. Picrce's Golden
Medical Discovery, is chiefly due to the
fact that it perfectly and permanently
cures diseases Of the stomach and organs
of digestion and nutrition, purifies the
blood and increases the blood supply of
the body. Weak people will find in this
medicine sure means of strength.
