IN CZAR'S RECOVERY.

dent In His Diet.

ST. PETERSBURG, Nov. ls.-The Rus
sian official world Is anxious regarding
the condition of Emperor Nicholas, but
there is a feeling OF confidence that he
win recover. foreign office official told
the correspondent OF the Associated Press
last evening that the bulletins were re-
garded as favorable He called attention
to the distinction between typhus, in the
American sense of the word, and typhus
as understood in Russia. where the term
corresponds to typhoid in American
terminoloey. There typhoid is common,
the official pointed out. in all Russian
cities owing 10 the deficient hygienic con-
ditions. but it Is not feared in this coun-
try as in the United States
Moreover" continued the official "the
czar's general health is good. Persons
who have seen him at close quarters dur
Ing the past few months give no credence
to the stories of his alleged feebleness
They have not observed the slightest con-
1ttion of lingering injury from the saber
blow he received In Japan. They utterly
dishelieve the assertion. often made
abroad. that the czar Is an epileptic"
Considerable surprise Is expressed that
his majority should have contracted a dis
ease attributed to tainted nourishment
II appears, however, that he Is imprudent
in his diet. does not always follow meii-
cal directions and often drinks any water
he can get. when walking or driving The
possibility Of his having contracted dis
ease from milk IL also being considered
The news OF the cxar's Illness is srasu-
ally reaching the general popuiace. and
many sympathetic references to his con-
iition are heard among the people OF 81.

Spider time has arrived, and the Fill
Pine 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 varl-
cites of spiders that are green and yellow
in color that mature in June. They are as
large the common black spider, SO plen-
tiful in California. The Filipino boy catches
these and keeps them secure in a box. y
small rod the size and length of a knitting
needle is procured. A spider is then placed
en- the rod. Another boy comes along and
he bets cent that his spider will whip
Then the sport begins. The boy who is
challenger produces his spider, places it on
the rod with the challenger's. Both spiders
make rush for each other and a fierce
battle ensues. Sometimes the stronger of
the two will wind web around the other,
fastening him to the rod and completely
putting him out of business The spiders
sometimes fight for ten minutes. Nearly
every boy has from eight to twenty spiders,
end they bet all the Filipino pennies they
can get on the result Of the fight.
