A Spiders Tnstince.

"A correspondent sends us remark able instance of ofadaptation of instinct in trap door spider. Says the writ- CT: "A friend of mine noticed near his camp trap door spider run in front of him and pop into it's hole, pulling the lid down as it disap- peared. The lid seemed so neat and perfect a circle that the man stopped to examine it, and found, to his aston ishment, that itwas sixpence! There was nothing but silk thread covering the top of the co&n, but underneath mud and silk thread were coated on and shaped convex (as usuaD. The coin had probably been swept out of the tent with rubbish" Commenting on this contributor to Nature says "As is we'll known, the doors of trap door spiders burrows are typically made of hattened pellets of earth stuck together with silk or other ad- hesive material The unique behavior of the spider in question showed no little discrimination on her part touch ing the suitability as to size, shape and weight of the object selected to fulfill the purpose for which the sixpence was used."--Sydney (Aus.)

Ice Making in Cubs.

"The manufacture of ice is a thriv- ing industry in Cuba since the Span ish war;" said MT. B. E. Hambleton, of Santiago. Tt is really amusing to watch the Cubans crowd around to purchase ice. All classes and condi- tions that can raise the price clamor for it, and they clamor all the sea- sons of the year. During the heavy rains the demand is lighter, but there is no very appreciable difference. Sam tiago has had ice for many years, but the old plant we found in the city was practically incapacitated. Since the cessation of hostilities all the Cuban cities of any size have been we'll supplied with modern machinery for the manufacture of ice, and it is to the Cubans an indispensable com modity." y."-Indianapolis News.

NURSE WILL BE BLIND.
Miss Hathaway Caught a Contagious
 Disease from a Baby.

Hartford, May 17.--Miss Ida l.. Hatheway, daughter of Earle Hathe- way, the builder at No 29 Inlay street, has lost the sight of one eye and there is but little hope that she will be able to see out of the other. It is possible that she will be able to see a very lit tie. Miss Hathaway was one of the probationary nurses at the Hartford hospital. About six weeks ago she at- tended a baby at the hospital, that had q contagious eye disease. The eyes discharged and they had to be washed carefully every hour of the day and night. Something lodged in the nurses eye but she did not know how the ac- cident happened. When It was found that her eye was affected the other eye was protected and everything possible was done for her. !n spite of the pre- cautions both of her eyes became af- fected and she lost the sight Of one. Now she is nearly blind in the other. The baby has lost its sight entirely.
 Miss Hathaway is about twenty years old After graduating at the Hartford High school she studied at tho State Normal school in New Brit .iin and for part of ona season taught school in Biooniield. She did not like school teaching and thought she would do better as a nurse. She vas ve-y enthusiastic about her new calling. One Of the hospi' al stan said last night that Miss Hathcwly received as careful at tention aud as skillful ticatlocnt IS was possible, and the sad outcome of the case appeared to be unavoidable. s'It is a risk that all have to take, nurses and physicians" he said.

HIS HAIR STOOD ON rND.

up to five years ago. said a prospector to St Louis Republic re. porter, II didn't believe in such a thing as mans hair standing on end" and then the old gentleman told the story of the fright that led him to change his mind
 T was in the mountains of Idaho with a friend and ran short of fresh meat, so one day took my gun and started out alone. I went into a ra- vine and was making my way along little brook, when I came suddenly upon a queer sight Not four feet in front of me, and in full blaze of the sun lay four mountain lions, asleep.
 For half q minute I thought them dead, but as I stood staring at them with my heart in my mouth, every one of them sprang up with a growl. And they faced around at me, looking ugly. sniffing the air with their whisk- CTS drawn back, showing the white line of their teeth, switching their tails and looking like demons.
 "As for me, stood rooted to the spot. l couldn't move from sheer fright. A queer, numb sensation be. gan in my ankles and crept up my body, and literally felt my hair rise.
 'I stood there motionless for sev- eral minutes, then one of the beasts dropped his tail and whined. The others followed his example. My presence mystified them. A few sec onds later they turned about and crept away down the rayine, looking back stealthily two or three times to see me.
 ''When they were out of sight I be- gan to breathe again. I didn't care to hunt any more that day, and made for the camp at top of speed. That was the time my hair stood on end, and my scalp was sore to the touch for week afterward."

HIS WIFE TOLD HIM so.

What is a home in the suburbs without chickens?" asked George II Hall of Avenue Fl and New York ave. nue, Vanderveer Park. Chickens around ones place means that some or the benefits of country life may be had within few minutes of the office. We will have them and such things as broilers, fresh laid eggs and whole some chicken pies will be in order in q short time." B
 Chickens don't always lay eggs just when you want them to, my dear" mildly suggested Mrs Hall.
 But we wont depend on the chick. ens," said Mir Hall. II will have my incubator. and what is more will make it myself"
 Don't you think 1t would be cheap CT to buy oneY" asked his wife.
 Can't afford it." said Hall. aRe. sides, I know just what I want ana can make 1t in no time."
 After a day of hard work and ab. sence from business the incubator wa completed and placed on the second floor of the house where the sunlight could reach it. On his return from business one evening Hall brought with him several settings of the very best eggs he could buy. Hurryinp through dinner the family repaired to the room containing the home made incubator in which the eggs were de. posited, and the lamps were lighted.
 'Therell be a great lot of chick ens," remarked Hall, as he smilingly surveyed the outfit. 'sNow, every one of you leave the room and well see what will happen
 Shortly after l o'clock the next morning Hall and his family were awakened by the changing of fire en. zines and the smell of smoke to find that the incubator had set fire to itself and all the upper part of the house. The damage was S200.
 An incubator would have cost about $50, George" said Mrs Hall that night. |.

Senator Harris, of Kansas, said in a recent interview: 'The republicans are wonderfully lucky. Good crops and prosperity have given them many thousand of votes in Kansas and there is bright outlook for splendid crops again this year. The party gets the benefit of such dispensations of Provi- dence, for republican politicians claim it is their own handiwork."

"The purchase of the fifty-fye steam CTS of the Leyland Navigation Go by Pierpont Morgan Is one of those signs which makes England uncomportable." :" Thus writes New Yorker who is keeping an eye on our growing coun- try. "Thus far we have been cramped in our power to reach the markets of the world, by the fact that the ship ping of the world is in the hands of our rivals, and that In various ways they take advantage of this to keep out our goods. The most striking H. lustration of this has been in the trade with the republics of South America, where our purchases of their cotton, hides and India rubber have been made to pay for their purchases of English goods Trade follows the flag but not, as our expansionists fancy, when it flies at the masthead of man of war. It follows the flag when that flag flies at the masthead of merchantmen-a position our flag has but rarely held outside the coast ing trade since the war of the Union. With the revival of American ship. building, which is foretold by new combinations of capital for that pur- pose, America will get access to every market on terms as good as are en- joyed by any. The first result will be the absorption of the coal export trade. Much of this might have been taken from England last year had We pos sessed the vessels fitted to carry coal. What we did send was in ships built for quite other kinds of freight, and even of that the amount was limited by the want of transportation. It is understood that the new shipping com pany will give especial attention to this branch of export. From Newport News, which is the outlet for the coal of Maryland and the two virginias, and from Philadelphia, the outlet for the deposits of both bituminous and anthracite coal in Pennsylvania, their vessels will sail to all the ports of Eu- rope, in which the natural supply is either wanting or deficient"

The Two Pests Meet.

"It appears that we are discov- eyed" said the Mosquito, resignedly, meeting the Rat, who was fleeing across the swamp.
 "Yes," replied the Rat, signing, "I am even now leaving my happy home to escape death at the hands of a few wise guys of sceince.'
 "But you carry with you the bu- bonic plague?" queried the Mosquito, slyly.
 "Well, should gnaw!" retorted the Rat, smiling. Then he went on spontaneously: By the way, how are malarial germs this spring2"
 "Now you stop! You naughty, haunting thing!" pouted the Mosqui- to, pretending to be offended. The Mosquitoes face grew grave.
 "When does the extermination be- gin2" she asked.
 "Now you have me ho1ed," an- swered the Rat.
 "Well," went on the Mosquito, "we'n give 'em run for their money, anyhow.r
 "Yes, continued the Rat, 'swe'n be peddling bubonic plague and malaria after the wise guys are dead."-Ohio State Journal.

There Is only one working day left in which the employer and the em- ploye has to decide as to what step will be taken Monday. Last evening groups of machinists and leading citi- zens might be noticed about the streets
 discussing the situation. Many sug- gestions were offered as to the best means of bringing all hands to an un-
 derstanding. The time Is short, and if any work is to be accomplished by
 the Merchants association or others in- terested they must jump into the breech at once. Rumor has it that the superintendent of the Farrel foundry has offered his men nine hours day commencing Monday. How nice and pleasant 1t would be fall the factories would do this. Not necessarily be- cause the union asks it, but in the in- terests of humanity. After all q nine hour day is none too short. Let us bring this matter right home to our selves. Put ourselves in the places of the men who arise about o'clock in the morning, and after hurried meal rush to the factory to toll for five hours. At the sound of the gong he rushes to his home again, or to his lunch box If the distance Is too great, and disposes of the dinner prepared for him, then to work again until 6, then home to supper and to bed. Now is good time if ever for the nine-hour day. Many of the factory laborers have homes, with small plots of land, and an hour each evening will give them a chance to cultivate and beau tify them. Let us get together, gentle men. Here, according to the Boston Herald, Is what one employer said on recent occasion, and 1t Is an example worth initiating: Before you strike, let us have another talk" said the vice. president of the Illinois Central rail- road to the head of the machinists' union. "AH right. Goodbye" said the latter, and he hung up the tele- phone receiver. Then they got togeth- CT, both sides made some concessions, and one of the biggest victories in the

The center slit in pen is cut by a machine which seems almost to think. It consists of two chisels, which barely pass each other when the slit Is made, and the exact way in which the pen is poised so as to place the chisels in the proper position for cut ting is one of the marvels of pens making.

A May Moving on the Farm.

"A NAay NOVtM& on the E'0Fms The sun Is peeping above the trees, And the farmers boy must rise Ere yet the dreams are fled from his head Or the sleep is gone from his eyes; He must hurry away to the pasture where The drowsy cows repose, And hundred things he learns out there That the city boy never knows He hastens away, with brown, bare feet, Through the dew that gems the grass, And the stubbles prod and the briars cut The little bare legs, alas! And the birds sing songs, as is their wont, And. the cows he goes to fetch Get up behind and then in front
 And crook their tails and stretch. He stands for awhile on the smooth, hot
 spot
 Where COW slept through the night, And the heat is sweet to the bruised, bare
 feet
 And the sad little heart grows light And the larks fit over the meadows where The South Wind gently blows Oh, hundred things he learns out there That the city boy never knows e1S. E. Kiser. in Chicago Record Herald.
