A Wonderful Machine.

We had the pleasure Of going
through the large harness shop OF
the II. e. H. Hardware Co., and
seeing the big new "Landis' hard
wax, lOck-stitch harness machine,
which has cost them over $500, in
operation, and must say that we
are indeed living in the age of pro-
gression.
After ten years Of practical ex-
perimenting by the inventor, this
machine was first placed on the
market about seven years ago, and
therefore is no experiment. 1t has
been improved from year to year
since that time, until it has reached
such state Of perfection that it
does the work better than it is pos
sible to do by hand.
As compared with hand work
this machine uses smaller awl,
larger and stronger thread, twice
as much hard wax, which is melt
ed and pumped into the stitches,
making them water proof, more
stitches to the inch and every
stitch pulled in tighter than is pos
sible by hand.
j A man sewing by hand pulls
the thread through hole after hole
in the leather, thus weakening the
thread with each stitch taken be-
fore it finds a place In the com
plete work, whereas the machine
uses new piece Of thread fo
each and every stitch taken.

the Banner mine in Florence from
the old company to the Florence

Glycerin Should Be Diluted.

Many people use pure glycerin for
the skin without knowing a5out its
effect !. glycerin is applied to the
tip Of the tongue, although il has a
pleasant, sweet taste. the first SEN
sation that is felt is one Of pain and
burning.
This is caused by the fact that
glycerin has strong affinity for
water and that il ab-orbs all the
moisture from the surface which it
touches. thus drying up and parch-
ing the nerves. Ignorant Of this
fact, nurses and mothers have APP
piled pure glycrrin to the chafrd
skin of infants, producing often
great pain
The gIycerin ought to have been
first mixed with an equal bulk of
waite. This being done, it may be
applied to the most tender surfaces
without producing injury and, as it
does not dry up. virtually maintains
the part in constantly moist condi-
ton, excluding the air and promot-
ing the healing process.

them in cages and some with their feet held tightly in the public stocks But such relics of a. barbarous past disfig- ure the village Hill no longer. It's or dinary uses now are for a playground and once year for the holding of a village feast. But when I was there at the flower show something else was afoot on Stock Hill-a very modern thing, and one which shows how into all these English villages, with or with out the consent of the village councils, modern Improvements are being intro- duced
 Upon the complaint of few property owners that good water was not so plentiful as it should be, the district council made inquiries and resolved upon a driven well for common use. The well will go down 240 feet and it's cost will be about 750 dollars, the same to be paid, of course, out of the local rates. The village council protested on various grounds, but it did no good. The larger, higher authority, having the power of parliamentary law behind 1t, is determined that no one hereafter shall complain of insufficient or insani- tary water So. merrily during the flower show, the drill of progress con tinued to bore through the rock, and herefater Stocks Hill, which in olden times was the place of public expiation, will be the spot to which the village Rachels and their children will daily repair to quench their thirst.

Journal the following account of how the spider forms it's silken threads is given:
 "One of the most interesting features in the economy of spiders is their pow CT of emitting slender threads of a silk-like substance called gossamer, with which most of them construct mesf-lke nets, and few long, dan gling cables, by which they are buoyed through the air with nearly as much facility as though they had been fur nished with wings. The apparatus pro- vided by nature for elaborating ana emitting this gossamer is q beautiful piece of mechanism, Within the ami nal there are several little bags or vesicles of a gummy matter and these vesicles are connected with a clrcular oriflce at the abdomen. Within this or flee are five little teats or spinnerets, through which the gossamer is drawn. It must not be concluded, however, that there is only one film of gossamer produced by each spinneret; the fact is, these teats are studded with thousands of minute tubes, too small for the na- l1ed eye to perceive, and each of these
 
 emits a minute threat of inconceivable fineness. These minute tubes are known as spinnerules, and the films which proceed from them unite like sa many strands of a rope to form the thread of gossamer by which the spider suspends itself. The finest thread which human mechanism can produce is like ships cable compared with the delicate films which flow from the spin perules of the largest spider. The films are all distinctly separate on coming from the spinneret, but unite, not by any twisting process, but merely by their own glutinous or gummy na- ture, Thus the spinning apparatus Of the disdained spider, when viewed by the eye of science, becomes one of the most wonderful pieces of animated me- chanism known to man The animal has great command over this appara- tus, and can apply it at will as long as the receptacles within are replenlshed with the gummy uid, but as soon as this gum is exhausted all it's efforts to spin are fruitless, and it must wait till nature, by her inscrutable chemistry, has secreted 1t from the food which is devoured. ."-Dr. M. l..

BONIS FIRST DUEL.

When Anna Gould's Husband Turned
 the Tables on Chap Who Guyed
 Him
 The other night at the Automobile club I heard about Castellane's first duel He had just come from school. Lad as he was, he could ride, shoot and handle a sword; but he was still too young, very bashful, rather green. At the club to which he had just been ad- mitted some of the men, whom life had made cynical, began to guy him. It was easy to stir up his anger, for they chattered scandal about a woman he knew. He pulled over the table and struck one of the men. The next day he received a challenge. In good faith he selected two club men as his sec onds. In all this the club fellows saw only a joke, and when the arrange ments were hurried on and the two op- ponents stood face to face in meadow near the Seine the pistols were loaded with blackened bread crumbs.
 "One, two, three!" they fired togeth- CT, the clubman gave a great cry and fell to the. ground grooming.
 He's fatally wounded-dying," the seconds exclaimed, choking with laugh ter

 a,1I grinning.
 The school boy looked at the laughing clubmen and saw the joke they had played on him. He stopped and caught the "corpse" by the ankle, dragged it a bit, and with a sudden jerk tossed it ten feet into the river.

THE SPIDER AND HER WEB.
Interesting Observations of a Historian
 of Nature.

bI LNdllllt.
 I have considerable respect for the female spider, notwithstanding the fact that she does not treat the made very considerably. I had an opportunity last summer to watch 8 large one that had a web In the top of a cecaying peach tree with so few leaves that it was in plain view. I caught sight of her first when watching some birds with my glass. She seemed to be climbing from the top of the tree on nothing to a telephone wire some fif- teen feet away and somewhat higher than her web. When she reached the wire she went around it and then back. In studying the situation I found the web was so located that it required q cable to hold it up and the spider had in some way got one over the wire so far away This cable was, of course, slender slken thread, which evidently she had thrown out, and on account of it's lightness it had floated to the right place ar b~ ome attached there by US glutinous properties. It seems re- nlarkable that it should have adhered to the wire firmly enough to allow so large an insect to climb over it, which she did every day as long as l watched her evidently to mend or strengthen it. The spider must have brains in which the ability to construct its Web and adapt it to conditions is highly de- veloped. In an article in Chambers
