MAGNETIZED SPIDER.
Singular Effect of u Magnet Upon the
Insect Discovered by u
Scientist.

An experiment has lately been made
by scientist to test the influence
which a magnet will have on spider,
reports the New York Herald The
magnet employed was small steel
one of the U shape, the legs of which
were about two and half inches
long by one-half inch wide and one
sixth of an inch thick, the distance be-
tween the poles being about one-quar-
ter of an inch.
Having noticed a small spider ac-
lively running along his armchair he
brushed it off upon the carpet, where
it began to run, but was somewhat i'm
peded by the roughness of the fabric.
He now slid the magnet along the car.
pet, following after the spider, till the
ends of the poles were within quar-
ter of an inch of it. The animal, with
out being touched, almost instantly
stopped, and, on withdrawing the
magnet, the spider continued on his
journey.
The eXperimenter then placed the
magnet within half an inch of the
front of the, spider, and, Withdrawing
it slowly. the latter followed it in
every direction which the magnet
took, both in straight and circuit Gus
routes.
Gradually, however, the spider be-
came so strongly magnetized as to be,
immovable for several minutes, the
magnetic influence seeming to lose its
further power, On Withdrawing the
magnet altogether the spider seemed
to recover somewhat
The scientist ultimately placed a
tumbler over the spider and the mag
net, covering them both completely,
and at the expiration of several min
utes the spider, after struggle to es-
cape from the strong influence which
! the magnet exercised over il, was dead
The eXperimenter states that, though
he had killed many spiders and other
small animals, as we'll as some plants,
by magnetism, he had never before
succeeded in doing it without touch
ing the victim frequently with the
magnet.

Salt as "A Curative.

An excessive use of salt on food is
injurious to the digestive and other
organs of the body, causing scurvy and
other scorbutic diseases. But it has
some curative properties which should
be known. For the reason that it is
cheap and always at hand, the cura-
tive qualities of salt are not appreci-
ated as they should be. We gather
from an exchange that if used persist
emily enough twill cure nasal catarrh.
A weak brine should be made and
snuffed up the nose, allowing it to run
down the throat. One of the most eff
fective remedies known for sick head
ache is to place pinch of salt on the
tongue and allow it to dissolve slowly
In about ten minutes it may be fol-
lowed by drink of water. There is
nothing better for the relief of tired
or weak eyes than to battle them with
strong solution of salt and water ap-
piled as hot as it can be borne. Salt is
most excellent for cleaning the teeth.

/ GOLF AND STAINED GLASS.
Difference of Opinion Between an
Artist and an Enthusiast
of the Links.

The aesthetic portrait painter and
the enthusiastic golfer sat before a
blazing wood fire in the lounging room
of the country club. Having nothing
in common they had tried in vain to
entertain one another, and were now
at conversational standstill, relates
the New York Tribune. A burst of
sunlight streaming in through the
stained glass window bathed the men
and all about them in a flood of red,
white, blue and yellow, causing both
TO look up, and giving the artist an in
spiration.
''Did you ever follow up the evolu-
ton of the stained glass Window" he
asked,
"No. can't say that I ever did,
replied his companion, bored but re-
signed.
"Well, the art in it's inception dates
back to the reign of Caligula, A. d. 81,
but up to the beginning of the nine
teenth century the colors were laid on
with paints for the most part. Since
the discovery of the art of staining
glass by the use of chemicals while in
its molten state, and of other modern
processes used in connection with it,
the making of stained glass has taken
tremendous strides, opening up an
entirely new field for the exercise of
artistic genius which is being general
1y taken advantage of. For in

"No. Inever thought of that" inter-
rupted the golfer, "but, you know, the
game of golf dates back to-
ooh, golf be hanged" exclaimed the
artist, impatiently. "You don't seem
to think of anything else
And he went out to admire the beau
tiful October landscape, while the
other man started to find some one
who would play nine holes with him,
muttering as he walked along: "Golf
is darn sight better fun than stained
glass ANYWAY"

A DOUBTFUL WELCOME.
