Poverty of the English Language.

England has not been very success

of one of this months magazine ar
ticles. Bicycle" is a hybrid which use

causes a shudder. But there is a a
which is even more curious than the
mistakes. 1t is not unusual in Eng
land for a young man to be engaged
to a young woman, or even a middle
aged woman. But the English Ian
guage has not succeeded in producing
a word to express the relation of the
man to the m You cannot call

edge. smash" is an exploded vulgar
ism, and "bloke" expresses nothing
but masculine humanity, and that
badly. We must fall back to the
French 'fiance." Yet one would ex-
pect to find an English name for the

ALL SPIDERS SPIN.
But the Industrious Insects Do Not
Operate the Way Most Artists
Picture Them.

All spiders spin, but not all of them
spin snares, those orbed and radiated
webs that we see pictured so many
times and every time pictured wrong.
But that only goes to show hat the
lower animals are not the only ones
that possess instinct. I think it will
be generally agreed that artists may
be classed among the higher animals,
says Harvey Sutherland, in Ainslee's.
At any rate, their instinct is to draw
a thing, not as it is, but as it appears
to a man that doesn't know very
much about anything in particular.
So he lays off his picture of a SPIDERS
web with a pair of dividers, and peo-
pie marvel at the SPIDERS mathemat-
ical sense, whereas a spider doesn't
bother her head with any such fool
ishness. She puts her lines where
she thinks they will do the most good
regardless of their distance apart.
Here of late, though, I think I have
noticeda little improvement in artists.
They have begun to notice that the
spider always stands head downward
in her web, if it be a perpendicular
one, and if it is horizontal hangs
back downward. Some of these fiat
web spiders can hardly walk right
side up. But the spider of art never
has more than six legs, while the real
spider has eight, and the spider of
art often has three sections of the
body, while the real spider never has
more than two. The head and chest
are in one department., so to speak.
There are their eyes, from four to
eight in number, and disposed in diff
ferent patterns according to their po-
litical affiliations; their jaws, which
work sidewise, instead of up and
down; their poison bag, and a few
other arrangements; and, in the alb
domen or silk department are the
heart "a banana-shaped affair.", the
liver, the slit and tubes that do duty
for lungs, and the spinnerets. These
last are warty-looking affairs that
may be spread apart and brought to-
gether exactly like the thumb and
fingers of the hand. Each wart is
covered with hundreds of little hol-
low hairs, through which is expressed
a gumlny liquid that turns to silk
when it dries. Mrs. Spider .slaps her
sp%innerets broad against the wall and
sticks fast Il don't know how many
hundreds of fine flaments. Then she
pulls away the s%pinnerets and shuts
them up, and all of those fine fila
ments melt into one rope, in thick
ness about one-five-thousandth of an
inch. Insects silk is a simple thread;
spiders is compound.

THE AUTUMN OF LIFE.

Fling down tho faded blossoms Of the
spring,
Nor clasp the roses with regretful hand;
J'he joy of summer is a vanished thing:
Let it depart, and learn to understand
The %gladness of great calrl-the autumn
rest,
The peace-of human joys the latest and
the best.
All. I remember how in early days
The primrose and the wild flower grew
beside 49,.
My tangled forest paths, whose devious
ways
Filled me with joys of mysteries un-
And terror that was more than half de-
light,
And sense of budding life, and longings
infinite. r. ~.
And I remember how, in Life's hot noon,
Around my path the lavish roses shed
Color and fragrance, and the air of June
Breathed rapture-now those summer
lays are fled,
Days of sweet peril, when the serpent lay
Lurking at every turn Of life's enchanted
way.
The light of spring, the summer glow, are
And I rejoice in knowing that for me
The woodbine and the roses bloom no
more,
The ender green has gone from field
and tree!
Brown barren sprays stand clear against
the blue,
And leaves fall fast. and let the truthful
sunlight through.
For me the hooded herbs of autumn grow,
Square-stemmed and sober-tinted; mint
and sage,
Horehound and ~bal1n-such plants as
healerS know
And the decline of life's long pilgrim
age ~
Is soft and sweet with marjoram and
thyme,
Bright with pure evening dew, not SER
pent's glittering slim
MD round my path the aromatic air
Breathes health and perfume and the
turfy ground
Is soft for weary feet, and smooth and
fair
With little thornless blossoms that
In safe dry places, where the mountain
Lies to the setting sun, and no i'll beast
can hide.
What is there to regret? Why should
mourn
To leave the forest and the marsh be-
hind,
Or toward the low rank meadows sadly
turn?
Since here another loveliness I find,
Safer and not less beautiful-and blest
With glimpses, faint and far, of the long
wished-for rest.
Is it an evil to be drawing near
The time when I shall know as I am
known?
Is it an evil that the sky grows clear,
sunset light upon my path is
thrown,
That truth grows fairer, that tempta-
lions cease,
And that see, afar, a path that leads tc
peace?
Is it not joy to feel the lapsing years
Calm down ones spirit? AS at even
tide.
After a long storm the far horizon clears
The skies shine golden and the stars
subside;
Stern outlines soften in the sunlit air.
And still, as day declines, the restfu
earth grows fair.
And so I drop the roses from my land
And let the thorn-pricks heal, and take
my way,
Down-hill, across a fair and peaceful LAND
Rap in the golden calm of dying day!
Glad that the night is near, and glad tc
know
That, rough or smooth the way, I have
not far to go.
