why Spider. Ar. Not 1n.eo,..


The spider Is not an insect, though
probably nine people out Of ten would
class 1t under this term. With scor-
plens and mites spiders form class in
the animal kingdom known as Arach-
nida. This name ia derived from a
mythical parsonage called Arachne.
the daughter Of a purple dyer Of Lydia,
who was tabled to have challenged
Minerva to n trial of skill In spinning.
So indignant was the goddess at this
act of boldness that she forthwith
transformed the hapless challenger
into spider, presumably in order that
she might have the best possible op-
portunity OF practlcing the art on
which she prided herself so much.
Spiders differ from insects in FIVE
m1in particulars. Their eyes are sim
pie instead Of compound. they have
eight legs in place of six. they do not
pass through the metamorphoses
which are characteristic of insects.
they have no antenne and their
breathing is accomplished by means of
organs which combine the functions of
lungs and gllls, Instead of by tubes
pervading their bodies. These points
of distinction are sufficient toadeter-
mine the fact that 1t is impossible to
class spiders as insects.

any results, so far as could be OBJ
served. At the end of that period the
management of the Union Pacific re-
celved from him a communication de-
manding the immediate removal of the
monument from the premises, which
he claimed as his under the homestead
law.
The matter was regarded in a hui
morous light at first, but subsequent
proceedings developed the fact that
the squatter had what lawyers call
"case."
The stranger, 1t seems, had located
on section Of land which did not be-
long to the Union Paciflc-the same
section on which the monument had,
by an inadvertence, been placed. He
knew very well what he was about,
and the upshot of the affair was that
the railway had to pay $4,000 for the
squatter's tract in order to make its
title good.
The monument, by the way, is dis
tant only about 100 yards from the
station, and 1t is favorite trick of ex-
perienced persons to induce green
travellers to attempt run to the pyra-
mid and back during the two minutes
OF the trains wait. In nine cases out
of ten they fall on the way back,
bleeding at the nose, the air being SO
rarefied at that elevation of $500 feet
as to forbid such exercise.-Saturday

His UnIuclSy Day,

Even the least superstltious are often
struck by the misfortunes which at
tend some persons on certain dates. A
large firm In the city has in its employ
a living instance OF the fact. On June
II an employee lost his left arm by
coming In contact with machinery.
The accident disabled him fer his then
employment, and he was given that of
a messenger. On another June IL he
was run over in the Strand while on
an errand--result, broken leg. The
next accident was a fall on the stairs
In the firms buildings. again June IL;
the right arm broken this time. The
fourth mishap on another anniversary
broke three ribs. The firm took the
case into consideration and issued an
order that In future the employee was
to take a holiday on that date, an order
with which he has, now complied for
several years.-London Chronicle.

HIDDEN GOLD
AT WOOSTER,
A Transfers Lucky Find In an
Old House.

Wooster, o., Aug. 21.--James Il. Ell
lott. teamster of this city, while en-
gagged in taking down an old chimney,
came across sack containing lot
of money. Just how much he refused
to say, but report has it that the sum
was $1,7O0. The greater part of the
cash was in gold and silver. All the
coin bore date before 1860 indicating
that the money had been in the chm
ney for more than 40 years.
The house was the habitation of
very poor people and old residents can
not recall the name of any person
who ever lived in the house who was
likely to have had so much cash. I'll.
liot will use the money to build new
house.

Making II Rather Personal.


This Is credited as one of General
Lew Wallace's Turkish jokes: There
lived in Stamboul. Turkey. a we'll to do
Turk named Ismad Ismail Hassam.
He was endowed with oriental wit that
stood him well in hand when he was in
a t!Eht place. A neighbor called on Is
mail one day and wanted to borrow his
donkey to use an hour. Ismail made a
low salaam and said:
"Neighbor, l am sorry, but my boy
started on the donkey an hour ago to
Scutari. By now he is gayly trotting
over the hills far from the sacred pre-
cincts of Stamboul."
Just as Ismail finished his speech a
donkey's loud bray was heard in the
stable, which was under the same roof
as Ismail's house, but In the rear. The
neighbor said:
"Ah, hear your donkey bray"
Ismail protested that his neighbor's
ears were deceived and that the noise
was not a donkey's bray. Then the
donkey, which was supposed to be jog
glng along toward Scutari, brayed
twice loudly. 1t was too much, and
the neighbor cried:
"Oh. that Is your donkey, Ismail Al
lab help ME. can now borrow him."
Then Ismail said:
(which do you believe is lying, the
donkey or me?"
The neighbor had to give Ismall the
benefit Of the doubt and went away.
