Lord March (afterward the Marquis
of Queensberry) was not accustomed
to view duel with unbecoming ap.
prehension. and usually attended an
affair with an air of enjoyment that
often was decidedly dispensing and
embarrassing to his adversary. But he
was served at last with that sauce
which the proverb explains is for the
gander as well as for the goose. 1t
was when he was challenged to fight
an Irish sportsman.
Lord March appeared on the ground
accompanied by a second, surgeon and
other witnesses. His opponent arrived
soon afterward with a similar retinue.

In China spiders are highly esteemed
in the treatment of Group. You get
from an old wall the webs of seven
black spiders-two of which must have
the owners sitting in the mddle-and
pound them up in a mortar with lit
tie powdered alum. The resulting
mixture must then be set on fire, and
the ashes, when squirted into tNe
throat of the patient, by means of a
bamboo tube, are said to effect n GER
tain and immediate cure.
Black spiders are evidently full of
medicinal virtue. for they are largely
employed in the treatment of ague as
well. In Somersetshire, if one is af-
flicted with the unpleasant ailment,
the way to get we'll is to shut up a
large black spider in box and leave
1t there till 1t dies. At the moment
Of its decease the ague should dlsap.
pear. In Sussex the treatment is more
heroic; the patient must swallow the
spider.
Perhaps, after all, this remedy may
not be so disagreeable as it appears,
for a German lady who was in the
habit of picking out spiders from their
webs as she walked through the woods
and eating them after first deprving
them of their legs declared that they

The manufacture Of silk has for sew
eral centuries been the chief business
of Lyons, France. The Romans es-
tablshed works there in the third cen
fury A. D. for the manufacture of
cloth of gold and silver but every yes
tige of these was swept away by north
ern inyasions. The present silk indus
try was taken there from Italy and
Spain and the Levant about the year
1906 under the fostering care Of Louis
nj. He imported machinery and weav-
ers with the expressed purpose of d-
mlniShing the stream of gold then flow
ing into foreign countries. 1t is re
corded that five aunes of silk at that
time cost from 800 to 400 francs, or
from 4S to GO francs ($9.2G to S11.5Sl a
yard, money then being worth about
four times its present value.

SPARE THE HAWKS.

Facts go to prove that hawks of all
kinds are friends Of the farmer, yet the
sight of a hawk on the premises is nine
times out of ten signal for some one
to get gun and shoot it or the discov-
cry of hawks nest in the big timber
a certain sign that the farmers boys
will rob it. 1t is true that the hen
hawk will sometimes make a raid on
the poultry yard but this very rarely
happens. On the other hand. 1t is
working hard II hours a day through
the summer season to clean the farm
er's fields Of gophers. rabbits and mice.
The hawk Is not nearly so destructive
to bird life as the crow and never, like
the crow, destroys the nests of other
birds. Unless actually taken in the act
OF carrying off the poultry the hawk
should never he molnstnd
The Right Way to Remove n Glove.
Do not take Il glove off carelessly il
you desire 1t to last well. In taking off
turn the wrist over the fingers and
draw until the fingers are half uncover
ed, then the finger ends may be loosen
ed by the tips. This makes it an easy
matter to readjust the glove right side
out. 1t is good plan to breathe In a
glove after taking 1t off. 1t preserves
the softness of the kid by quickly dry
ing any slight moisture.

THE STORM.

Gold blovs the gale from out the northI
Wild moan the forest, vale and moor.
Fierce spirits wander boldly forth,
Grim monsters scream at every door.
Against the tempest's hurting might
God keep the helpless poor tonight.
Cold creep the waves along the shorsI
Wild shout the breakers in their glee.
Fierce swells the voice Of ocean roar,
Grim stalk the shades along the lea.
Against the storms tempestuous might
God guard the sea tossed ships tonight.
Gold mists are turned to rafting hail;
Wild voices call in every gust.
Fierce forms resist the shouting gale;
Grim faces toward the sea are thrust.
Oh, God, against the oceans might
Protect the staggering ships tonight
All. cold the seas embrace and chill
The winds that wildly howl and fling,
As wrecks are tossed and forms now still
To spar and mainstay sadly cling.
All, yes, for aye, from tempest might
Thine own are safely housed tonight.
