"Aristocracy' will be the bill next week

Bronson Howard's drama of American

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 a
knitting needle is procured. A spider
is then placed on the rod. Another boy
comes along and he bets a 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 a web around the
other, fastening him to the rod and
completely putting him out of bust
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.

MORAL SUASION ON A DOG.
How a Minister Easily Overcame tn G
AUimOsity of BelliEerent
Canine.

clergyman who went up into the
country to preach and lived there a
considerable time had occasion in his
ministrations to drive regularly over
a certain road. At house on that
road lived big bulldog which always
came out and attacked him viciously.
The minister stood this for a good
while, until finally, as he drove past
one winter night in low sleigh, a
means of correcting the dog by moral
suasion occurred to him. He stopped
his horse in the road before the house.
The dog rushed out madly, barking
and threatening to jump into the
sleigh. The minister sat in his sleigh
and paid no attention. The dog re-
tired, returned to the assault, retired
again, and a third time rushed out
to the attack, but did not touch the
man. Then he returned to the door
step and laid down, apparently utter
ly crestfallen and Disguised with such
a man; and, as he paid no further ct.
tention. the minister drove off. After
this the minister drove many times
past the house, but the dog paid no
attention to him, and never seemed
TO see him at all. He was cured.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications as they cannot reach
the diseased portions of the ear There
is only one way to cure deafness and that
is by constitutional remedies. Deafness
is caused by an inhamed condition of the
mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube,
When this tube is inflamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing. and
when it is entirely closed, Deafness is the
result, and unless the Inflammation can
be taken out and this tube restored to its
normal condition, hearing will be de-
stroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are
caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but
an intiamed condition of the mucous sur
