The Way n Water Penned Spider
 Got Back to Dry Land.
 A gentleman who was fond of study ing the habits of insects one day found a large spider near pond. He took a long stick and put the spider on one end of it. He then went to the side of the pond and, stretching out as far as he could, fixed the other end in the bot tom and left the stick standing straight up out of the water with the spider up on it. He then sat down on the bank to watch what the insect would do.
 It first went down the stick till it came to the water; but, finding that there was no hope of getting off there, it returned to the top. It then went up and down the different sides of the 1t found there was no way of escape at any part. Then 1t went once more to the top and remained quiet for awhile, as if thinking what to do. Aft CT a short pause the insect began to spin a thread long enough to reach from the stick to the edge of the pond. When this was done, 1t fastened one end of the thread to the top of the stick and let the rest of it float in the breeze. It waited till the wind stretched the thread out toward the side of the pond.
 The insect then went crawling along the thread till it reached the end. Aft CT floating in the air little while it alighted safely on the ground and scampered off to it's home.

COOKING HINTS.

Don't add lard, molasses or sugar to bread if you wish to keep we'll and be wholesome.
 Potatoes baked thoroughly, but not allowed to turn dark, are the best to be used for creamed potatoes.
 If salad dressing curdles when being mixed, add little cold water, stir quickly, and it will become quite smooth.
 If tea be ground like coffee or crush ed immediately before boiling water is poured upon it, it will yield nearly dou- ble the amount of its exhilarating qual- ities.
 If sliced onion and carrot are cook ed with veal, 1t will be found that the flavor of the rather tasteless meat is much improved. Veal outlets rely for their flavor on the tomato sauce that is usually served with them.
 A delightful flavor is sometimes giv- en to steak by placing it overnight in bath of oil and vinegar. In the morn ing it is wiped before the broiling, but enough of the mixture has been ab- sorbed to give 1t decided flavor.
 If in making split pea soup teacup- full of whipped cream is put in the tureen just as the soup is poured over, the improvement ill flavor of the soup will be noticeable. This puree has sometimes a fiat, ever watery taste that is not at all agreeable, which the whipped cream entirely removes.

One of Field,. Crazy Jokes.

In his biography of Eugene Field Slason Thompson says that shortly aft CT the humorist's arrival in Chicago it occurred to him one bleak day in De cember that it was time the people knew there was stranger in town.
 So he arrayed himself in long linen duster, buttoned up from knees to col lar, put an old straw hat on his head and, taking shabby book under one arm and a palf leaf fan in his hand, he marched all the way down Clark street, past the city hall, to the office. Every where along the route he was greeted with jeers or pitying words, as his ap- pearance excited the mirth or commis- eration of the passersby.
 When he reached the entrance to The Daily News office, he was followed by a motley crowd of noisy urchins, whom he dismissed with a grimace and the cabalistic gesture with which Nicholas Kooran perplexed and repulsed An tony van COrlear from the battlement of the fortress on Rensselaerstein. Then, closing the door in their aston ished faces, he mounted the two flights of stairs to the editorial rooms, where he recounted, with the glee of the boy he was in such things, the success of his joke.

SDeciaI Cars on Trains.

'"The safest car in a railroad train," said a travelling man, ''is one as near the center of the train as possible. l have observed it over and over, as I have. been in several wrecks myself, and it is the first two coaches or the last coach which is usually derailed or smashed into kindling wood.
 "Apropos of this, special cars are usu- ally attached to the rear of the eX press train. This is the case when the president goes travelling, his special car being the last car on, the train and con- sequently open to the full force of a rear end collision. It would be difficult to place the presidents car, or any other special car for that matter, in the center of the train. The train would have to be divided, the car coupled in and the train made up again. It's pres ence in the center would interrupt the free passage from one end of the train to the other by passengers and train men and would be objectionable for other good and apparent reasons, prin- cipally upon the score of privacy."- Washington Post.

FIND THE SUNNY SIDE.
Try to Get Out of the Gloom and the
 Shadows of Life.

Try to Get Out of the Gloom and the
 Shadows of Life.
 Nothing contributes more to the high est success than the formation or the habit of enjoying things. Whatever your calling in life may be. whatever misfortunes or hardships may come to you, make up your mind resolutely that, come what may, you will get the most possible real enjoyment out of ev- cry day; that you will increase your capacity for enjoying life by trying to find the sunny side of every experience of the day. Resolutely determine that you will see the humorous side of things. No matter how hard or un- yielding your environment may seem to be, there is sunny side if you can only see it. The mirth provoking fac ulty, even under trying circumstances, is worth more to young man or wo- man starting out in life than fortune without it. Make up your mind that you will be an optimist; that there shall be nothing of the pessimist about you; that you will carry your own sun shine wherever you go.
 There is longevity in the sunny soul that eases our jolts and makes our sides shake with laughter.
 There is wonderful medicinal effect in good cheer. Good news and glad ti- dings have a magic effect even upon invalids.
 We often see whole store or factory or home transformed by one sunny soul. On the other hand, we have seen them blighted and made dark by a gloomy, morose, fault finding person. Christian Advocate.

WEBSTER AS A DRiNkER.
The Great Orators Deep POtatiOnS
 Before Two Famous Speeches.

The Great Orators Deep POtatiOns Before Two Famous Speeches. Daniel Webster was invited to Rich
 mond in the fifties. He accepted the in- vitation, came to Richmond and went
 to the Exchange hotel. He was invited by the state legislature to address them and the people of Richmond, and
 committee consisting of James Lyons of Richmond and Robert B. Scott of Fauquier, two of the most eminent
 lawyers in the state, were sent down to the hotel to escort him to the capitol building. They found MT. Webster in state of intoxication in such degree that MT. Lyons said to Mr. Scott: "This man can't make a speech. You must
 take his place." Mr. Scott replied, "No man can take the place of Daniel Web ster."
 After delay, during which MT. Web ster improved little, he was asked if
 he would go to the capitol. He replied, "Yes." With great difficulty Messrs.
 Scott and Lyons supported and helped him to the capitol. When they reached the rotunda near the Washington stat ue, MT. Lyons said, "NIr. Webster, do you think you can speak?" eff you will give me drink of brandy, yes" A messenger was sent to neighbor- ing hotel and bottle of brandy
 brought. Mir. Webster poured out sue cessively two goblets full and drank
 them off, strengthened himself up. shook himself as a lion might have done, walked steadily and directly to the position from which he spoke, on
 the south porch of the capitol, and in the presence of an audience of 5000 people, which consisted of the intellec' tuality and beauty of Richmond, male and female, made his celebrated Octo- Der speech, one of the greatest even of his life.
 Edward Everett related that on the day Webster replied to Hayne of South Carolina he walked with him to the capitol; that he seemed so badly pre- pared that he doubted him and feared
 that he was not equal to the occasion; that just before he rose to speak he drank goblet of brandy and then | made his great speech in reply to
 Hayne. which is an English classic. Such was the effect of the beverage o9 Webster.-Beverages.

The Luxury of Doing Good.

A magazine article on "The Luxury of Doing Good' quotes one or more writers to the effect that the impulse of benevolence is, i'll fact, a selfish one, because people please themselves by exercising the power of doing good. This kind of dissection of motives seems rather ungracious and unprofta- ble, as, although logic of course could very easily reason out the matter to the same conclusion, in actual life to take delight in benefiting others is not, as a rule, characteristic of selfish natures. If we have the means of doing good at little or no cost of sacrifice to ourselves, whether in money, influence or any other form of helpfulncss, it may per haps be truly said that we derive pleasure at very cheap rate. But the vast majority of people can only do good at the cost of some little self de- nial, and in those cases we can only ascribe their actions to the simple quail ities of kindness and good feeling Philadelphia Ledger.

General Grants Namesake.

A number of years ago a son was born to a colored woman in the south, and as he was her first she looked up on him with pride and was much at a loss to find name for him. Relatives and friends, including her mistress, were appealed to; but, although many names were suggested, all were dis carded.
 After many days of deliberation she said one morning to her mistress: Miss Mary, I'ze found a name for my boy. Pm going to name him Delicious" !. "Why," said the lady, "where did you get that name?
 "Oh," she cried, "I'm going to call him that cause I want to name him for MT. Grant"
 When it was explained to her that the great hero was named Ulysses and not Delicious. she was somewhat dis turbed in mind, but Ulysses did not please her, so the boy had to begin life burdened with the name Egbert Flu gene. Detroit Free Press.
