Far up In the mountains Of Ceylon
there is a spider that spins a web like
bright yellowish silk, the center net
which is five feet In diameter. while
the supporting lines or guys, as they
are called, measure sometimes ten or
twelve feet, says the Cleveland Leader,

not likely to forget the encounter.
The bodies of these spiders are very
handsomely decorated, being bright

upper part is covered with the most
delicate slate-colored fur. SO strong are
the webs that birds the size of larks are
frequently caught therein, and even the

the wedding.

the Wedding.
good story comes from Atlanta,
but the incident happened several sea-
sons ago. The occasion was a swell
church wedding. The edtice had been
gloriously decorated. The bride, sur
rounded by company of pages, flow
er girls and maids of honor, was slow
ly passing down the aisle, while the
prospective bridegroom and his best
man and the officiating clergyman
were taking their places. The church
organ was pealing forth the sounds as
Of joyous wedding bells. Fashionable
people dressed for the occasion oceu-
pied the seats of the handsome church.
II so happened that one Of the pages
had in the rush of business prepara-
tory to dressing for the occasion been
turned over 10 the care of a nurse. As
he proceeded down the main aisle of
the church in company with the other
youngsters, who In white satin suits
were doing the honors of each respec-
tive household. he suddenly espied his
mother seated In one of the pews.
AT THIS point lne ofganlsl began
playing softly as the wedding party
passed to the altar. Then, above the
gentle strains of music clear as a bird
could be heard the voice of the afore-
said small boy.
Mamma" he shrilly cried, nurse
put on my panties wrong side before,
and can't hardly walk
OF course the Mortified mamma could
do nothing but blush scarlet, but lifted
prayer that the young scion would
keep still from that time on. And he
did and received hearty kiss from
the bride at the close of the ceremony.

ANCIENT ARITHMETIC.
Examples That Were Used In Egypi
5000 Years Ago.


Probably the oldest copy book for
home lessons in arithmetic was recent
ly unearthed in Egypt. The papyrus,
which was found in excellent condi-
ton, dates from the period about 1IO0
b. C.-that Is, about 100 years before
the time of Moses, or almost 5000
years ago. 1t proves that the Egyp-
tians had a thorough knowledge of
elementary mathematics almost to the
extent of our own. The papyrus has
long heading, Direction how to at
tain the knowledge of all dark things"
etc Numerous examples show that
their principal operations with entire
units and fractions were made by
means of addition and multiplication.
Subtractions and divisions were not
known in their present form, but cor
rect results were obtained nevertheless.
Equations are also found in the pa
pyrus. Among the examples given Is
this one: Ten measures of barley are
to be divided among ten persons in
such n manner that each subsequent
person receives one-eighth of a meas
IRE less than the one before him. An
other example given is: There are sew
en- men, each one has seven cats, each
cat has eaten seven mice, each mouse
has eaten seven grains of barley, each
grain of barley would, if cultivated.
have yielded seven measures of barley.
How much barley has been lost in that
way?
The papyrus also contains calcula-
tons of area, the calculation of the
area of circle and its transformation
into square, and finally calculations
of the cubic measurements of pyra-
ids.-Philadelphia Record.
