A WHISTLINc SPIDER.
osssr Inseet Found by = Massaehu
setts Man In n Prohibition
District.

Il. A. Peters, one of the owners of
the Lashaway dairy farm near Spencer.
Mass, while on his way to Spencer
lately captured an immense spider of
unknown species. When Mr.. Peters
first saw the spider, which was max
ing bee line over the public highway
for East Brookfeld, he was so amazed
at the sight that he rubbed both eyes
several times before he could realize
that the monster was a reality. Then,
hastily grasping an empty glass milk
jar, Peters jumped from the wagon
and was about to make the stranger q
prisoner. when he was startled by the
distinctly audible whistle emanating
from the insect. says q New York ex-
change.
Instantly q flock of minute fac
SMILES of the peculiar spider came
rushing from all directions, clambered
up the legs of the big spider and hid
themselves in the fuzzy hair on its
back.
This was more than Peters could
stand, especially as, after securing her
young, Mrs. Spider assumed defensive
attitude.
Peters thrust the mouth of the jar
over the whole family of spiders and
made them prisoners. Hundreds have
since viewed the monster and its Off
spring, and all are puzzled.
The body of the large spider is IA,
inches in length The body is black
and is supported by eight powerful
legs, each two inches long. The head
is supplied with powerful-looking jaws,
from which two feelers, one-half inch
in length. protrude. The beady eyes
are Jet black.

GERMANS IN UNITED STATES.
Milwaukee Has the Largest TeutoHic
Population OF Amy City in
This Country.

Milwaukee, famous for it's beer, may
now claim distinction as being the
German city" of the United States.
There are more Germans in Milwaukee
in proportion to its population than
in any other city, says the Chicago
Chronicle The percentage of popula-
ton is sc and Hoboken is a close Sec
ond. with 81 per cent. New York has
only 3S per cent. and Chicago 81 per
cent Boston is at the bottom of the
list, with German population of only
seven per cent. of the total. Detroit,
Buffalo, Cleveland, Newark, Cincinnati
and Jersey City have larger percent
ages of Germans in their populations
than either New York or Chicago.
Among the states. Wisconsin leads
in proportion of residents born in Ger
many. 1t is estimated that 2s3,000 ma
tive-born Germans are now located
there, or II per cent. of the total popu-
lation. New York, however, has the
largest number Of native-born Ger
mans-553,00o but this is only nine per
cent. OF the population. Illinois has
$4,000, or ten per cent. Minnesota,
with 10000, is equal to Illinois in per-
centage. Iowa has $4,000 Germans,
but percentage of only eight, while
Massachusetts stands about at the
bottom of the list, with 81, 900 Germans
and percentage of one. The United
States are credited altogether with
100000 German-born residents.

Makes Brave Men cowards.

It has been proved that the compare
lively harmless bombarding, SO far as
wounds are concerned, of besieged
town is terribly demoralizing to the
bravest men.
When a shell bursts near group OF
20 men it may kill one and wound
two, while the remaining II escape
without a scratch. 1t will be found,
however, that many of these are never
the same men again. No matter how
iron nerved they were before, they are
now irresolute and timid, and all their
faculties are weakened. Very often
they are jeered at by their comrades
because of this change. But this is ut
terly unjust in fact, their brain and
spinal cord have been injured by being
violently shaken against the walls OF
their bony cavities.
The same thing occurs in railway
collisions. People who were robust
become quite feeble and nervous,
though they may not have received a
scratch.
This curious state in the case of
soldiers is well recognized by doctors
under the name of the mental injuries
of explosives. The injuries are really
quite as physical as a shattered leg,
for they consist of kind of bruising of
the very delicate tissue of the spinal
cord and brain.

Still More Counterfeiting.

The Secret Service has unearthed
another band of counterfeiters and Sc
cured large quantity of bogus bills,
which are so cleverly executed that
the average person would never sus-
pect them of being spurious. Things
of great value are always selected by
counterfeiters for imitation, notably
the celebrated Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters, which has many imitators but
no equals for indigestion, dyspepsia,
constipation, nervousness and general
debility. The Bitters sets things right
in the stomach, and when the stomach
is in good order it makes good blood
and plenty of it. In this manner the
Bitters get at the seat of strength and
vitality, and restore vigor to the weak
and debilitated. Beware of counter
feits when buying.

The typewriter has become well-nigh
universal in its use, and is found in all
the large business houses in the prin-
cipal cities of the world, and its key
board represents nearly all languages.
The exceptions are the Japanese and
Chinese. AS their characters are up
right and composed of many hundred
figures or signs, it seems practically
impossible to produce them on the

where the spider. Are UsefuI,

At recent meeting of arboricultur-

bated whether spiders should be suf-
fered to spin their webs on fruit
walls. The general opinion seemed
to be that the webs were more use

marked that they prevent the incur
sions of earwigs and similar insects
and also interfere with the operations
of noxious flies whose larvae ravage

SOMETHING WORTH CONSIDER.
ING ABOUT TRUSTS.

A Mr.. Wallace ]. Clifford, Of, Iowa, was
at tho Arlington Hotel. in Washington, a
day or so back and to a reporter for the
rem a-ks:
"Ehairman Hanna's invitation to Mr..
Bryan to point to an existing trust in the
United States appears very much like IN
effort on the part Of the former to bait
the Democratic Presidential candidate. In
the first place, the word trust when ap-
piled to large industrial corporations, Is
a ;nisnoner. It Is commonly used, now
ever, to denote supposed combinatlon
of capital that has a monopoly on some
commodity. Taking the wCrd in this
meaning, Hanna is right In claiming that
there are no such things as trusts. There
are no absolute monopoies, at least not
in any commodity in general use.
The Standard Oil Company, which Is
held UP as the greatest octopus of them
ALL has competition. and competition
that bothers it very mucll The declara-
ton of both parties against trusts is
doubtless aimed at concerns that conrol
a very large proportion of the trade in
any one article. The question is, How large
a proportion of all the trade must a corpo-
ration control before it becomes a 'trust?'
1t is a question that Mr.. Bryan, or any
other man, would have difficulty in an
swering, and Hanna undoubtedly had a
well-deflned purpose when he thus threw
down the gauntlet. Mr.. Bryan had an I'M
disputed right to ignore the challenge and
treat Hanna's question as humorous
one, but unless he takes some method OF
letting the public know just what he
means when he denounces trusts, the
verdict is apt to be that the Senator from
Ohio has the best Of the argument"
11,ff,r5 hoe h m
the head. There are no trusts, except as
you may choose to say that particular
CORPORATION is a trust. That is a funda-
mental proposition which Mr.. Bryan, Mr..
Mckinley, NJ. Hanna and Jere Simpson
must all acknowledge Squirm, as any
Of them may, it will always come back to
the question, Which corporation is a trust?
Either all corporations must be conceived
to be trusts or 10 corporations are trusts,
or there are some particular corporations
that are trusts. This conclusion cannot be
avoided Now we suspect that no OPP
porations are trusts and equally he will
deny that no corporation is trust. He
claims that some corporations are trusts.
Where will he draw the line. saying that
all corporations upon enc side of his line
| are trusts and that no corporations upon
the other side are trusts? We would like
to see the attempt made, and yet it must
be made, or all the elanlor about the
"octcprs" will go for nausht.
We are not taking sides in any contro-
versy between Messrs. Hanna and Bryan.
I We are trying to get just conclusions
formed in respect to this most serious
economic matter OF trusts.
