NOT vERsED IN ROMANCE.
Rejected by Many London
Publishers.

BY way of practical joke type,
written copy of Scotts "Iyanhoe'' was
recently sent the rounds of the Lon.
don publishers, under the title, when
John Was England's King" 1t was
returned in every case. The London
Academy amuses itself by imagining
the form taken by the letters of re-
jection. 1t thinks Messrs. Macmillan
might have written somewhat like
this:
"Messrs. Macmillan & Co regret to
have to return When John Was Eng
lands King. but they fear that inter-
est in historical fiction is diminishing.
Their readers report OF the story is
in the main favorable. but he points
oGt that the charge of initiating The
Forest Lovers one of Messrs. Mac
millau's recent publications. might
perhaps be difficult TO rebut. In his
opinion the author of When John
Was Eng!and's King would perhaps
have made better and more readable
book had he studied Mr.. Hewlett more
carefully"
Here is another burleyque letter:
MIR. John Murry begs to return the
Ms. Of When John Was Englands
King, and to quote passage from
his reidcr's report thereon; 4 do not
recommend this novel, although it is
painstaking and thorough, The au-
thor would, think, have been wiser
had he chosen another name for his
hero. lvanhoe has already been used
by Sir Walter Scott"

SPIDER TIME IN MANILA.
There Is Great sport for the Filipino
boys In Making the In
sects Fight.

When spider time" arrives the Fill
ipino boy is happy, He does not know
much about marbles, but when spider
time arrives, and that is just after the
rainy season begins, he knows that
he is to have great sport There are
two harmless varieties of spiders that
are green and yellow in color that ma
ture in June. They are as large as the
common black spider so plentiful in
California. The Filipino boy catches
these and keeps them secure in box.
A small rod the size and length Of
knitting needle IS procured. A spider
is then placed on the rod Another boy
comes along and he bets cent that
his spider will whip, says the San Jose
.(Cal) Mercury. Then the sport be-
gins.
The boy who is challenged produces
his spider, places it on the rod with
the challenger's. Each spider makes
a rush for the other and fierce bat
tie ensues. Sometimes the stronger
OF the two will wind web around the
other fastening him to the rod and
completely putting him out Of busi-
ness" The spiders sometimes fight for
ten minutes, Nearly every boy has
from eight to ten spiders, and they
bet all the Filipino pennies they can
get on the result OF the fight.

Next door TO the old home OF the
minister lived woman who was very
fond of Jim and who regretted the cir

the other day and addressed it to
Jim" This letter was placed by a
maid on a hatraek in the hall, along
with the other letters delivered at the
same time. Jim seemed to know this
letter was intended for him. because
when a member of the family came
downstairs that morning he was found
trying to tear open the envelope.
Strangely enough, he had never taken
such liberty with letter before that
time and has not disturbed any letter
since.
Although Jim has lived all his life
in the home OF minister. he does not
always show that humility which

There Is to be a great season for but

for antique buttons culled from old

be much embellished by these costly
fastenings, and they are greatly In

and tea gowns and on what are called

very well on certain style Of brocade
made in curious patterns Of twisted

also very charming, a different subject

There is no comparison between the
modern and ancient productions In this
material, either for design or for bril-

jeweler Is to mount a filigree diamond
button on a circle of dark blue enamel
by means of a screw through the cen

A FIy's Wings.

Most respectable insects have two
pairs Of wings, but fly has only one
pair with a scallop on the rear edge of
each, showing that In earlier days it
had Openers" even If they went into
the discard later These scallops are
called "halterers," or balancers, and 1t
is the theory Of some that they help to
steer the fly. They say that when the
starboard balancer is clipped off the fly
goes hard a-starboard and vice versa.
But under each of these scales is a
globular process, with a long tube
fringed with ella, believed to be SEN
sitive to odors. These globular proc
esses pump air into the nervures or
veins of the wings and keep them taut
and stiff, for thin though the wing may
seem 1t Is really double texture. Per-
haps clipping off the balancer let's the
air out of the wing and SO disables 1t.
A fly Is able to saunter along through
the air at the rate of five feet a second,
but when it Is in particular hurry 1t
can go about thirty-fiye feet a second,
which is a two-thirty gait. Its wings
beat the air at about the same rate of
vibration as the piano strings e, first
line of the treble staff; but that is not
its only means of audible expression.
When 1t gets excited and cannot break
away from the fypaper, it makes Its
thorax yibrate at a higher pitch. You

George many months before that horse

It Is u fact that that horse got so he'd

he'd bulge out Of his stall. If the box
was not in our district, George would
walk leisurely to his place but II 1t was
one we were due at on the first alarm
he would rush down TO his place. In
those days we had to hitch up on every
alarm that came in, whether 1t was In
our district or not, and stand hitched
for Is or 20 minutes. George knew
this, of course, and that was why he'd
always take his time going to his place
when the box wasn't In our districts
And it's fact that If he was eating
when an outside box came in he'd just
keep on eating until the foreman yelled
out to bring him down to his place.
OF course now and then George would
miscount the box and rush to his place
on a box in our district. But when he
did make a mistake like that, which
was precious seldom, that horse would

that he wouldn't get over 1t for day
