A SPIDERS WEB.
Used to Lasso the Prey and Also to
Construct a Home.

During the late summer and In the
autumn, grasshoppers form a large
Part OF the food of large spider called
the orange argiope. 1t is interesting
to see how skillful,y the spider manages
her hug pley, The instant it becomes
entangled she rushes to IL and, spread
ing her spinnerets far apart, she fastens
broad sheet of silk to it; then by
few dexterous kicks she rolls IT over
TWO or three times and 1t is securely
swaddled in shroud; a quick bite
with her poison fangs completes the
destruction of the victim.
The male of the orange argiope is
much smaller than the female, and II
is very seldom observed except by the
best trained eyes. He lives on shabby
little web, which he builds near the
web of the female. In the autumn the
female makes globular egg-sac as
large as u hickory nut. This is sus-
pended among the branches of some
shrub or in the top of some weed, and
is fastened by many ropes of silk so
that the storms of winter shall not tear
it loose. Within this egg-sac the young
spiders pass the winter.-Country Life

MR. JORDAN A CANDIDATE.
Looking for the Senatorial Nomina
ton on the Republican Ticket.

Attorney ]. B. Jordan, of this city,
has announced his candidacy for the
Republican senatorial nomination. Mr..
Jordan has received unlimited en-
couragement from his friends in this
city and Scranton, since he has intimat-
ed to them that he was considering the
advisability of entering the fight for
senator and has been prompted by them
to great extent in coming to it's deter
mination.
AS Carbondale and this end of the
district has not in a great many years
received any recognition from the party
as regards the senatorial nomination it
would appear that Mr.. Jordan's chances
for the nomination are unusually bright.
Should he be successful in, his fight for
the nomination he will receive the un-
divided support of the party in this
city in the battle for chair in the
senate.

pain in the small of my back across
the kidneys was very severe. especially
if stopped and attempted to
straighten. At night when in bed my
back ached fearfully, thus disturbing
my rest, and in the morning I was SO
lame and stiff I could hardly get up
and around. I tried doctors medicines
but nothing did me any good. I got
