The beautiful holly, which is used so
largely in all Christmas decorations, is OF
very slow growth On the first Arbor
Day your corr espondeLt planted two trees
of this kind, and they have now barely
attained twelve feet. The male tree has
the largest leaf, and in the Spring is COW
cred with tiny white blossoms. The
female tree bears the red berries, and an
unusual quantity at this season is said to
be an indication of cold winter. After
the stirring scenes of the Revolution, when
Washington retired to the shades of Mount
Vernon, he amused himself by decorating
his grounds with collection of the most
beautiful forest trees and planted the holly
berries in drills, but, alas. did not live to
witness the success of his experiment.

There is more Catarrh in this section of
the country than all other diseases put
together. and until the last few years was
supposed to be incurable. For a great
many years doctors pronounced it local
disease, and prescribed local remedies,
and by constantly failing to cure with
local treatment, pronounced in incurable.
Science has proven catarrh to be a consti-
tutional disease, and, therefore, requires
constitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh
Cure manufactured by F. J. Cheney &
Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitu-
tiona, cure on the market. 1t is taken
internally in doses from 10 drops to a
teaspoonful. 1t acts directly on the blood

An Elaborate Revival.

The desire of Manager Angle of the

irons the very best theatrical offerings
has led him TO book Charles b. Hanford
in his grand revival of the Tanning of

seen here on Saturday evening Oct. II.
The revival is reported TO be most elab-
crate in respect to scenery, costumes

al season. Miss Grantly is said to be
a young actress of rare talent and
beauty. The gowns which she wears
in The Tanning of the Shrew' were
specially designed for her by Worth of
Paris.

Diving Bell Spiders.

The diving bell spiders gather air to
use just as a soldier might draw water
and dispose it about his person in water
bottles. They do this in two ways, one
of which is characteristic Of many of the
creatures which live both in and out Of
the water as the spider does. The tail Of
the spider is covered with black, vel
vety hair. Putting its tail out Of the
water it collects much air in the inter
stices of the velvet. 1t then desCends,
when all this air drawn down beneath
the surface collects into a single bubble
covering its tail and breathing holes like
q coat OF quicksilver. This supply the
spider uses up when at work below, until
it dwindes TO single speck, when il
once more ascends and collects n fresh
store.
The writer has seen one of these
spiders spin so many webs across the
stems OF water plants in n limited space
that not only the small water shrimps
and larvae, but even a young fish, wers
entangled. The other and more artistic
means OF gathering air employed by the
spider is to catch bubble on the surface
and swim below with il. The bubble is
then let go into a bell woven under some
plant, into which many other bubbles
have been drawn. In this diving bell the
eggs are laid and the young hatchcd
under the constant watch Of the old
spider.-Spectator.
