Quito Water Portere.

AROUND q fountain in one Of the
principal squares of Quito assemble
every morning the city's aguadores.
These water porters differ from the
less energetic ones Of some South
American cities in carrying their
jars on their backs instead Of on
the backs of mules. Their earthen
jars are deep, have wide mouth
and hold about forty iters.
The porter carries it ON his shout
der fastened with leather straps.
He never detaches himself from his
jar, either to fill it or to transfer
its contents to that of his customer.
He turns his back to the fountain
SO that the jar comes under one Of
the jets of water, listens to the
sound of the water in the jar, and
his ear is 80 well trained that he
always walks away at the exact mo-
ment when it is filed to the brim.
Arrived at your house, he goes to
your jar, makes deep bow and dis
appears behind torrent Of water.
/ could never receive without laugh
ing the visit Of my aguadore, the re-
apectful little man who bowed to me
behind cataract of water.-sFrom

ReIuvenated Women.

It is an extraordinary but incon-
testable fact that some women at
the age when most people die under
go o sort of natural process Of re-
juvenation-hair and teeth grow
again, the wrinkles disappear from
tho skin and sight and hearing re-
acquire their former sharpness. 4
Marqnise de A;fabeal is an example
of this rare and remarkable phe-
nomenon. She died at the age of
eighty-six, but few years before
her death she became in appearance
quite young again. The same change
happened to nun cf the name Of
Marguerite verdur, who at the age
of sixty-two lost her wrinkles, re-
gained her sight and grew several
new teeth. When she died, ten years
later, her appearance was almost
that Of q young girl.

Necessity's Rural Child.

Every time I tell this story"
bright society mstron remarked,
somebody accuses me Of making it
up-but it is true story. uevershe-
iess. Up in the Virginia mountains
this summer David and I took long
walk to explore the wild country road
near our hotel. Way up on che rough
mountain side was little cabin; and,
as have most fervent human inter.
est in the homo life Of all people re-
mote from cities, 1 proposed that we
visit the cabin, with the wayfarers'
usual opretext-to ask for drink Of
water. In the one room Of the small
house were tho usual furnishings, q
few chairs, many dogs lying about,
guns on the wall, q high bed in each
corner, and homely table spread
with homely crookery in the center Of
tho household picture. A plain little
woman, worn and aged, but very neat
IN calico frock and gingham apron,
met us at the door and asked US in,
while one of the rough boys loungiug
on the porch was dispatched to the
spring for fresh water.
Instead Of the usual mouutaineer' g
open fireplace, with crane and kettles,
was surprising arrangement of q
cooking stove mounted on kitchen
table. My glance reverted to this

THE coAcHMAMs PASSING.
When Railroads Came, the Old Timers
Disappeared from Earth.

Wnen Railroads Came, the Old Timers
Disappeared from Earth.
One often wonders what became
OF the old coachman when railways
drove the last Of the mails of the
road and those who had known few
pleasures that were not associated
with the movements of lively teams
and the hum of rolling wheels or
genial intercourse with the travel
ing world could enjoy those things
no more. There must be deep pa
thos In the unwritten romance of
chat period. With few exceptions
the drivers of stagecoaches had no
aptitude or inclination for other
work, though they were masters of
their ewn.
Many time in boyhood I have
heard amateur whips pay admiring
tribute to the professionals of an
older generation who, for all their
dissolutc habits and uncouthness,
were workmen to the core with
hands as gentle as a woman's. Bob
Pointer, who taught many Oxford
undergraduates how to handle an
awkward team, was one Of the hard
drinkers, but nobody ever saw him
in difficulties" to which his skill
was not equal His wise maxims
are still remembered and worth re-
membering:
'Never let your horses know you
are driving them, or, like women,
they may get restive. Don't pull
and haul and stick your elbows
akimbo. Keep your hands as though
you were playing the piano. Let
every horse be at work and don't
get furried. Handle their mouths
lightly. Do all this, and you might
even drive four young ladies with
out ever ruf1ing their feathers or
their tempers." - Henry h s.
Pearse in Outing.

His Difficulty.

The witty San uel Wilberforce,
bishop of Oxford, had no patience
with admirers who persisted in re-
garding him., with others of his
cloth, as extraordinarily important.
A lady who met him one day at
dinner evidently felt obliged to keep
the conversation at high level:
She began with much solemnity:
my lord, you must have had O.
great many serious questions to
deal with in the course of your life.
What is the most tremendous diff
Guilty you have had to encounter ?"
The bishops napkin was slipping
away from him.
Excepting dinner napkin on this
silk apron of mine," said he as he
clutched at it.

How Does The Spider Spin Its WEBB

was very much interested in an
article that appeared in your paper Of
August % about the mystery of spi-
ders stretching their webs across high
ways and other long distances.
Every observing country boy has
noticed these wonderful feats Of the
spider in suspending his bride from
one point to another, high in air.
My father has often told US how he
aud his father, while crossinga bridge
over the Merrimack River in Bosca-
wen, N. a., early one morning. saw g
spiders web extending clear across
the river from one point direct to
another, distance thet nast have
been at least $50 or 300 feet. The
sun was just appearing over the tree
tops and shone upon the web, so that
it was distinctly seen the entire
length. They .speoulated how the
spider could have spanned the stream
with his web. Certainly the web
could not have been strung by the
help Of the wind, which, nine times
out Of every ten. blows down the
river in this locality. The prevailing
winds in New Hampshire are from the
northwest; and the river at this point
flows from the northwest and runs
southeast; the bluffs are quito high
on each side, from which it follows
that the east or west wind could not
have blow strong enough ct this
point to have carried the web across.
Every open-eyed countryman knows
that large spiders can walk on
the water, or rather run. I hare
seen them frequently go SO fast on the
water that one could hardly see thcm.
l have thrown them into the water
many times, where the current was
swift, to see how soon they would
reach the shore. To anyone not IA
miliar with this insect it would be
surprising to see how swiftly it can
run over the water.
My grandfather thought that The
spider ran across the river, although
the current was deep and strong at
this point. But my father could not
agree to this proposition. He said
it would be impossible for spider to
regain the other shore so directly
across and then carry his web so high
above the water and fasten it to the
tree branches on the opposite side
without getting the web ,entangled in
the branches in climbing the trees.
Neither Of them could solve the mys-
terry. have noticed in attics and
barns that spiders spin their webs
from one rafter to another at an angle
Of about 80 or 40 degrees. I have
also seen them spinning webs from
one branch Of o tree to another. They
seem to jump from one branch and
swing on the web 80 as to reach the
lover branch at sometimes an angle
Of 40 degrees or less. Webs formed
on these angles are frequently seen.
The upper cnble seems to be the one
that holds the web; and below this
cable the web is spun. But how
web is thrown directly across o road
or river is beyond my comprehension,
