W[NTERING IN CHINA.
AMERICAN TROOPS MEETING THE Sc
WE'RE WEATHER COMFORTABLY.

Peking, Dec 1.-The first few weeks Of severe
weather have tested the resources of the foreign
troops here, and the result has been TO remove
any fear OF great privatiOns during the winter.
The coal supply, while not plentiful. is sufficient
and there is no dangerous scarcity of wood. Gen
eral Chaffee has directed that the wood supply be
husbanded. and it is believed that there will be
little IL any difficulty in maintaining the coal sup
ply by camel train from the mines in the western
hills
The American troops are under canvas, and the
winter camp is an object of much interest TO the
foreign officers. Inspection parties from the var-
Gus European forces daily visit Camp Reilly and
express surprise at the resources displayed IN MAX
ing the tents comfortable. The men have adopted
the methods used in the winter campaigns in the
Northwest, and well banked tents, mating floors
and bricked up Sbley stoves make the canvas
homes as comfortable as barracks. The only seri-
discomfort arises from the dust storms The
gales drive the fine black dust through the heavy
canvas and nothing is impervious TO II. The dust
storms make out Of door work practically i'm
possible. and are the only drawback TO the dry.
brilliant winter Of North China.
Condensers have been installed, and there
is an ample supply OF distilled water, the lack Of
which had been keeny felt.
The other contingens of the allied forces held
in the CITY, with the exception Of the British whose
camp is directly across the plain, few hundred
yards from Camp Reilly. The French are said 10
be somewhat short of winter supplies. but not to
the point Of deprivation. FOraging and scouting
parties OF all the IorceSs

villages. The Germans the most active in THIS

other troops Peking.

VERDICT MEANT DEATH.

Aldrich, Mo-, May 27.-Four of the
best doctors in the vicinity have been
in attendance on Mrs. Mollie Moore, of
this place, who has been suffering with
a very severe case of Nervousness and
Kidney Disease. Each of them told her
that she would die.
Hearing of Dodd's Kidney Pills, she
began to use them, and instantly no.
ticed change for the better. Her inn
provement has been continuous since
then. She says that the disease first
manifested itself by the appearance
of dark spots floating before her eyes.
Her nerves were so bad that many
times they would collapse completely,
and she would fall down as if shot.
The fact that Dodd's Kidney Pills
saved her after four doctors had given
her up, has caused no end of talk in this
neighborhood, and all are loud in their
praises of this new remedy-Dodd's
Kidney Pills-which is curing so many
hitherto incurable cases, in this state
and elsewhere.

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 that the
lower animals are not the only ones
that possess instinct. / 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 man that doesn't know very
much about anything in particular.
So he lays off his picture of spiders
web with pair of dir iders, and peo-
pie marvel at the SPIDERS mathemat-
zeal 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, think l 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 few
other arrangements; and in the abb
domen or silk department are the
heart Ga 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
gummy liquid that turns to silk
when it dries. Mrs. Spider slaps her
spinnerets broad against the wall and
sticks fast q don't know how many
hundreds of fine filaments. Then she
pulls away the spinnerets and shuts
them up, and all of those fine fila
ments melt into one rope, in thick
ness about one-fve-thousandth of an
inch. Insects silk is simple thread;
spiders is compound.
