age. Her birthplace was at Calls, In
Washington county, near North Mont
pelier, Vermont. She was one of nine
children, seven boys and two girls, six

surroundings and circumstances Of that
time warranted. While she was still
in girlhood the family migrated west
and settled In Houston county, this
State. This was before the civil war.
The family pursued the occupation of
farming. It was in about 1864 that
Miss Ella !, Mason married young
James Mcmillan, who had settled in
Houston county with his parents some
time before, Shortly after the mar
riage they came to Redwood Falls aud
they were among the very first settlers
of this place, enduring the frontier ex-
Ecitement and hardships with firm fe-
solve to succeed. In the hotel business
IN commercial business, in political
life the late husband found his wife a
deYoted and enthusiastic helpmate, and
the sunshine of that life continued
frightening the world Of its presence
until obscured by the cloud Of death.

why Spiders Are Not insects.

The spider is not an insect, though
probably nine people out of ten would
class it under this term. With scor-
pions and mites spiders form class in
the animal kingdom known as Arach-
nida. This name is derived from n
mythical parsonage called Arachne.
the daughter of purple dyer Of Lydia.
who was tabled to have challenged
Minerva to a 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 practicing the art on
which she prided herself so much.
Spiders differ from insects in five
main 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 antennR and their
breathing is accomplished by means Of
organs which combine the functions of
lungs and giIls, instead Of by tubes
pervading their bodies. These points
of distinction are sufficient to deter
mine the fact that it is impossible to
class spiders as insects.

A sensitive Scot rebukes the London
Daily Chronicle for saying that his
countrymen pronounce man ''mon."
THE absurd form mon he writes, lis
the hall mark of Scots vernacular as
written by a southern pen. and its in
trusion has often lent additional sad
ness to comic Journalism. even, alas,
to the pages of our chief humorous
periodical. In the north of England
mon certainly occurs; in Scottish
speech never. In Scott and Stevenson
one may look for it in vain. The
broad. soft vocalization of the word in
Lothian dialect lies somewhere be-
tween 'maun' and 'maan,' but as it
cannot be literally synbolized the
word should be spelt in dialect pas
sages simply as in English
