Many years ago these spiders lived in a

Some of the tales told about these

says:
"a short distance out Of Buena Vista
there is a cave swarming with spiders Of
immense size, some of them having legs
four inches in length and bodies as large
as that of a canary bird. The cave was
discovered in 1868 and was often visited
by pioneers on their way to California,
who obtained their webs for use in the
place of thread.
Early and late the cave resounds with
a. buzzing sound emitted by the spiders

tested in 1871 and found to be composed
of silk of the finest quality. The skins

The cultivation of coco, says a writer In
the Scientific American, is at present an

cannot withstand strong sunshine, and
the young plants have to be shaded by
banana or plaintain trees. and later, when
they attain their growth, by tall trees
known as 'immortels," or the mother of

over the entire plantation. The fruit of
the coco tree is a pod, resembling a Gu

large branches, where it looks as though
it were artiically attached" The seeds

the caucus, pledged to his support
clear majority of the Legislature, a ma
jority composed entirelyof Republicans.
His one great mistake in the past has
been his inclination to put faith in lying
tongues. After this there should be no
more compromises. Let men who have
been traitors to the Republican party,
who have gone before the people as
stalwart Republican candidates for the
Legislature and have broken their sol.
emn pledges to the people, be treated
for what they are-enemies of the par
ty. Let them be ignored and repudi-
ated.
Let this be done, and the people at
the polls two years hence, when we are
called upon to elect another United

will rally around regular Republicanism
and will stamp out the boodlers, the
bribe- takers, the political highwaymen

BIG HEARTED SENATOR nASON
He Was Counsel for a rIan Who uot
$4,000 Damages for Being a
Cripple.

Captain James McGrath, who is
connected with the Chicago post
Office, fell from a street car in
Washington, d. c., some years ago
and was severely injured. He was
confined to his bed for q long time
and came out a cripple. He sued
the street car company for $25, ZOO
and got a verdict for $1,000, SEN
ator Mason was his attorney.
The matter was settled recently
by the payment of 1000 to Cap
tain McGrath. He took his check
and went to the Capitol, found
Mason and said: "Billy, here's
what I got for that accident. I
have endorsed the check over to
you. Take out your fee and hand
me the balance"
Senator Mason looked at Nc
Grath and said: "That leg of
yours will never get straight, will
it, Captain?"
"No," replied McGrath, "I am
cripple for good, l guess"
"And $4,000 is a measly little
bit of money for such 81 thing"
unused the Senator. Then he look
ed up suddenly and asked: "Got
a cigar?"
McGrath had one. The Senator
lighted it, and then began to talk
about Illinois affairs. "But, Sen
ator," interrupted McGrath, what's
your fee for all the work you have
done?"
"My fee?" asked Mason. "Why
this cigars my fee. Go along
home with your two thousand"

END OF A PRECIOUS PAIR.

One of the first and most pleasing re-
suits of Quay's victory will be the polit-
ical extinction of the two municipal
ringsters who have been leading the
insurgent forces, William Finn, of
Pittsburg, and Dave Martin, of Phila-
delphia Had the insurgent cause tri-
umphed, the sequel would have been
woful to contemplate, for, be the sins of
Quay machine be what they may, they
must sink into oinsignificence compared
with what might be expected of a ma
chine managed by men whose lives
have been spent in the practice of mu-
niciple ring politics. Martins power
in Philadelphia is already thing of
the past. Flinn's start on the down
grade is now beginning and, having
once begun under such circumstances,
it is certain to be rapid. Even his own
familiars, seeing that he is powerless
to carry out his vaunted plans and that
he will hereafter be cipher in State
politics, will desert him as rats desert
a sinking ship. The final decision of
the Senatorial contest will be made two
weeks hence. Of the shape which it
will take there cannot now be the
slightest doubt. Mr.. Quay has every
thing in his hands. Pittsburg Leader.

FAREWELL TO THE INSURGENTS.

The insurgent forces at Harrisburg
have practically given up the battle.
They will keep up show of organiza-
tion until Quay's election on the 18th,
but the leaders admit they are discour-
aged and that continuance of the strug-
gle will be futile. And it is probable
that this means not only the end of the
Senatorial fight, but as we'll of the in

pain and suffering they used to mean. It's
different now. Since Mothers Friend has
become known expectant mothers have
been spared much of the anguish of child
birth. Mothers Friend is a linment to be
applied externally. 1t is rubbed thoroughly
into the muscles of the abdomen. 1t gives
elasticity and strength and when the final
great strain comes they respond quickly and
easily without pain. Mothers Friend is
