why spldera Are Not Inssess.

The spider is not an insect,
though probably nine people out of
ten would class it under this term.
With scorpions and mites spiders
form class in the animal kingdom
known as araohnida. This name is
derived from a mythical parsonage
called Arachne, the daughter of a
purple dyer of Lydia, who was
tabled to have challenged Minerva
to trial of skill in spinning. So
indignant was the goddess at this
act Of boldness that she forthwith
transformed the hapless challenger
into a spider, presumably in order
that she might have the best posi-
BILE opportunity Of practicing the art
on which she prided herself SO
much.
Spiders differ from. insects in five
main particulars. Their eyes are
simple instead of compound, they
have eight legs in place of six, they
do not pass through the metamor-
phoses which are characteristic of
insects, they have no antennac, ard
their breathing is accomplished by
means Of organs which combine the
functions Of lungs and gills, instead
of by tubes pervading their bodies.
These points of distinction ere suffi-
cient to determine the fact that it is
impossible to class spiders as insects.

'Guf MOE Hts Forecasts, as the SEA-
cas,taln Found Out.
The ship had dropped anchor in
the lower bay, and the captain was
nervonsly pacing the deck waiting
for the owners tug. A man hailed
the ship from rowboat and seid
he was coming on board. The cap
tain recognized him as a boarding
house runner and ordered him off.
The runner insisted.
"The minute you come over the
rail Of this ship I'll shoot you like
a dog" yelled the captain.
ssYou'll hang for it if you dol"
yelled the man, making his boat fast
to the ships side.
t'My ships my home, and I'd have
as much right to kill you as man
on, shore would to kill burglar"
continued the captain. "That's the
instructions Igot from the owners
on my last trip"
just then the owners tug arrived,
and the runner took to his oars.
"Wouldn't I have had right to
shoot him If he'd insisted on coming
on board?" asked the captain. The
owner had consulted his attorney
since the captain had been in port
before and had to modify his orders.
"The law is not what we inn
agined," he said. 'The ship is not
your home, but your yard. You can
defend your cabin as if it were your
house. The forerastle is as another
building in your yard, the quarters
for your servants. You can't keep
their friends out by force."- New

tions of women did use tobacco a
good deal. They took it in the form
of snuff, and it was widely the custom
Of the older women of the earlier
years of the last century. The old
ladies of those days used to carry
their snuff boxes, and it was thought
to be pardonable and even appropriate
that they should use their contents.
Ho"w :his :praotice died out has never
been explained, but it is certain that
it did vanish and almost suddenly.
Perhaps it was partly because go many
of the men abandoned it. The states

said that the red bandana Of Senator

similarity Of the Hands and Feet

Persons born without hands often
use their feet for nearly every object
that hands ordinarily serve for,
threading needles with their toes,
using scissors, writing, etc. It is q
very interesting thing to examine
the skeletons Of a human foot and
hand side by side and to observe
how the two structures are absolute
ly similar save for certain modifi-
cations which adapt the foot for
locomotion and the hand for laa-
nipulation.

Holland Keeps Old Ocean at eav

There are at present about 1000
miles of sea dikes in the Neither
lands. The total length of dil1es is
difficult to estimate, and even if it
could be estimated would mean but
little, for it must be remembered
that the dikes have for the most
part in the course of time been de-
stroyed and rebuilt repeatedly. It
has not been SO much question of
building them as it has been of
maintaining them and keeping them
where they were. Besides protect
ing the country from the invasions
Of both fresh and salt waters, the
dikes have served to reclaim no less
than 100000 acres, nearly all of
which are good, fertile land.-Na-
