Lives in Il Fairy House.

The water spider runs about on the
leaves Of aquatic plants and catches the
insects that live among them; but the
nest in which this spider lives Is a silk
bag, filed with air. and 1t Is anchored
beneath the water. Its opening points
directly downward. so that no air can
escape when the spider enters it.
After the nest has been made large
enough, the spider proceeds to fill it
with air in the most remarkable way.
She carries 1t in. just as human people
might carry coal or wood or water into
their houses. Going nearly to the sur
face, she puts the end Of her body out
Of the water for an instant, then Jerks
it quickly under with a bubble at
tached. crosses her hind legs over it,
and descends to the nest, into which
she then allows the bubble to escape.
This is repeated until the nest is filed
with air.
The spider has chosen this singular
abode to escape destruction by water
fowl. The leaves Of most AQUATIC
plants lie fiat upon the water, and offer
only few places where the spider could
hide from enemies.
The thought Of house of silk. flied
with air. says the New York Tribune.
and anchored in a crystalline. sparkling
liquid. would do for fairyland story.
but here it Is In real life.

DO WHOLESALE COOKING.

Restaurants with Cooked Food.

Restaurants with Cooked Food.
If it We're asserted without any ex-
PLANTATION that there were restaurants
In New York which cooked large guam
titles Of food day and night and yet
which never sold mouthful to a per-
son within their doors it would certain
~ arouse doubt or ridicule. Yet such
as the fact. There are more than forty
establishments of this class in New
York Their customers are not hungry
men, but restaurants, eating booths,
oyster stands, and free lunch counters.
There was time when every place Of
this sort owned and used its own kitch-
en-, but the increase Of rents, the de-
crease In the size of store property and
the greater economy necessitated by
keen competition have brought the
wholesale restaurant into existence and
made 1t q financial success.
Most of these affairs are on the east
side and are managed by Germans, He
brews, Swiss and English. their num-
bers being in the order named. They
supply roast beef. lamb. veal, mutton.
corn beef and pork, pot roasts, baked
and boiled fish. fried oysters, CLAIMS.
scallops, cells, fishballs and soft-shell
crabs, boiled potatoes. cabbage. turnips
and beets.
A few supply larger bill Of fare. but
the demand for their goods Is compare
lively limited. They purchase good,
wholesome material, employ excellent
cooks, own efficient delivery wagons
and run affairs upon a good business
basis.
When you pass an oyster stand and
see nicely fried oysters and soft-shell
crabs neatly piled upon platter. and
decorated with little sprigs Of parsley,
twice out Of three times you look al
the wares Of these establishments. The
tiny restaurants in the business dis
tricts, and especially those which cater
to clerks and workingmen. depend al
most entirely upon the wholesale res
taurants for their food. Oddly enough
says the New York Post. they can sell
their cooked food to the retail restau
rants for less than what the lattel
would pay for the raw materials. Thii
comes from buying wholesale In verJ

Never give up old friends for new
ones. Make new ones II you like. and
when you have learned that you can
trust them. love them II you will, but
remember the old ones still. DO not
forget that they have been tried and
found true; that they have been merry
with you in time Of pleasure. sorrowed
with you in time Of sorrow. and de-
Tended you when you were treated with
injustice. No matter II they have gone
down In the social scale. and you up;
no matter II poverty and misfortune
have come to them while prosperity
and plenty have smiled upon you. their
hearts are no doubt as true and ten
der as In the days Of yore; and because
life has brought them clouds. all the
more reason that you should share
your sunshine with them.
