People Who Used to Eat Spiders.
The enjoyment of particulur kinds OF
food is. after all, matter of custom,
and the African who revels In white
ants is no more peculiar In his tastes
than the European who eats cheese
mites. A lady whom M. Reaumur knew
was accustomed to devour spiders as
fast as she could catch them, and
German lady gave it as her opinion
that these creatures resembled In taste
the most delicious nuts. A fellow coun-
tryman of this lady was In the habit OF
regularly hunting spiders in his own
and his friends houses. He used TO
spread them on bread. Rozel tells us.
and vowed that they were far pleas
anter to the palate than butter.-Corn-
hill Magazine.

Rats Caught In Numbers by an In
genious Means.
Rats are very susceptible to the odor
Of certain drugs. and any ordinary trap
set In their haunts is likely to be sue
cessful If dressed with these scents, the
attraction Of which, rat catchers affirm,
they cannot resist. An example Is:
Powdered assafetida, eight grains; oil
Of rhodium, two drains; oil of aniseed.
one dram; oil of lavender, one-half
dram. Shake together In a bottle and
use very small quantity to dress the
bait.
To catch rats, cover common barrel
with stiff, stout paper, tying the edge
round the barrel. Place board so that
the rats may have easy access to the
top. Sprinkle cheese parings or other
food for the rats on the paper for sew
eral days until they begin to think that
they have a right to their daily rations
from this source. Then place In the
bottom Of the barrel a piece of rock
about six or seven inches high, filling
with water until only enough Of it
projects above the water for one rat to
lodge upon.
Now replace the paper, first cutting a
cross in the middle, and the first rat
that comes on the barrel top goes
through into the water and climbs on
the rock. The paper comes back to Its
original position, and the second rat
follows the first. Then begins a fight
for the possession of the dry place on
the stone, the noise Of which attracts
the others, who share the same fate

Elko Independent
That the Republicans will make de-
termined attempt to defeat Mr.. Van
Duzer for Congress is already developing.
The Gazette is publishing articles from
the Carson Appeal OF 1901 that rip Van
Duzer up the back for his action while
Speaker of the Assembly. 1t is a we'll
known fact that the Appeal and Mr.. Van
Duzer differed upon certain matters before
the Legislature and each urged his views
with all the power he could command.
The Gazette's obeject in re-publishing
the Appeals articles now is not TO throw
any light upon the controversy, but to
ipiure Mr.. Van Duzer as candidate for
Congress.
Admitting that Mr.. Van Duzer did all
as Speaker that the Appeal charged him
with at the time, it should have no effect
upon the voters in this campaign. He
stands before the people as representa-
tive of great principles. His personality
is not in this fight, neither is his quarrel
with the Carson Appeal. Both are side
issues that should not figure in the cam
paign.
The principles represented by Mr.. Van
Duzer rise above any man. They are
vital to the we'll being, happiness and
prosperity of the people Of this State.
As an advocate OF those principles, he
should have the united support OF all who
agree with them regardless of past
quarrels. All should stand firm and true.

When few articles appeared In the
Bulletin and Examiner praising Con-
gresham Newlands, every Republican
paper in the State was filled with an
honest desire to know what these papers
charged the Congressman. Now the
Gazette and other papers are publishing
puffs OF Judge Hswley copied from the
San Francisco Nation, and the Indepen-
dent has the same honest desire to know
what the Nation is charging Judge Haw-
ley. IL cannot be presumed that the
Judge is getting his California pufTs for
nothing if Mr.. Newlands is paying for his.

 Force bill, It was a notable effort and l the one which brought him into promi- hence, an effort which he has never again equalled and perhaps ever will, 1 The subject under discussion was the conduct of Southern elections, The day before Elkins had completed canvas of the House for his Statehood measure, and found the democratic members dis posed to help him outw ith it. He had pledges from enough of them to assure favorable action. He listened to the speech of Burrows. Burrows waXed eloquent. Elkins grew interested. Bur- rows grew pathetic in the pictures he drew of negro oppression in the South. Elkins waXed sympathetic Elkins leaned forward in his seat and devoured the Mchigander with is eyes. The Michigander, noting the attention Of his colleague, addressed himself almost di rectly to EIkins in the brilliant, poetic peroraton. The chamber was silent, and as the last words of Burrows rang against it's historic walls and Burrows had finished, Elkins jumped to his feet and, srasping Burrows hand, shook it with enthusiasm, congratulating him on his speech.

NOT ENCO URAGING.

| Frances experience with her Congo colony isn't encouraging to countries which have tropical colonies. The
 French tired of voting large sums for
 the preservation of order in the French
 Congo, and so the Chamber was glad to adopt the Belgian system of conces-
 sions as the cheapest way out of the
 difficulty. No sooner were the conces-
 sionariea we'll established than the
 government began to reduce the num-
 Der of militia, claiming that the own
 CTS of concessions should guard their
 own property. They did, and the re-
 suit is that the natives have become ex-
 asperated at the methods employed to
 enforce what the concessionaries claim are their rights. A first there were only little outbreaks here and there, but recently all the stations along the Sangha river have been footed and all of the concessionares murdered This great territory of France in Africa cov- CTS an area of some 450 900 square miles, or more than twice the area of France itself, while it has a native population of some 10000,000 or 12,000000 It has never been profitable to France, and there is to this time need of a grant from the coffers of the republic to make up yearly deficits. When prac- tically the whole French Congo was turned over to the trading companies which were granted the concessions it was thought that there would be some relief from this constant drain, but un- der the rule of the concessionaries con- ditions have become worse than they were before.
 It is to be hoped that our Philippines will turn out better than the French Congo has. Probably they will, because we are much smarter than the French. |

Some of the Russians don't seem to be any sharper than some other folks are. A Russian Admiralty order remarks that the commanders of vessels of the Pacific squadron are accustomed to purchase at exceedingly high prices in Japanese ports large quantities of ma terial of which reserves are kept by the Admiralty al Vladivostok and Port Ar thur. It instances the case of q com mander who last year paid IS rubles it pood for oil at Nagasaki at time when for the very same quality of oil the Volunteer fleet was only paying 4 rubles so copecks, and when oil could be ob- tained from the depots at the Russian ports for 1 ruble 65 copecks and rubles 8 copecks a pood. The same officer also bought large quantities of other provisions at eXtravagant prices. The commanders, moreover, frequently buy stores at the ports of call, especially in the Mediterranean, instead of from the depots at Kronstadt before they leave for the far East. The amount of their

A NEW PNEUMATIC TIRE.

According to the Velo, the cyclists | fondest wish is now fulfilled. The ideal | non puncturabl tire has been discov- cred. The inventor took an air cham Der of his devsng to the office of the
 newspaper, and there, in the presence of the amazed editor and his equally astounded staff, planted needless thofns, tin taclks. and two-inch nails into the tube without producing the slightest
 defation of the latter. The invention
 is an application of the properties of
 compressed India rubber, which, when
 pierced, adheres so closely around the
 object causing the puncture as not to
 allow any escape of air to occur. This
 material has been used before. But the
 originality of the present invention ap-
 pears to be the discovery of practical and simple method, first of attaching a
 band of the material in question to the chamber, and, secondly, of keeping it in place and maintaining it in it's state of compression. The air tube is con- structed as follows; The tread is of compressed India rubber, fixed be-
 tween strips of inextensible canvas iu- side and out. It is claimed that all danger of bursting is removed, while punctures are rendered harmless. A nail traversing the outer canvas, the compressed rubber, and the inner strip of the former material. cannot pierce a hole through which air can pass, as the India rubber expands and fills up the hole If ad rop of India rubber solu- tion be poured into the place of the puncture the latter is still more secure ly sealed up. If all that is said of the invention be true there ought certainly to be jubilation among cyclists, as the new air chamber while impervious to punctures and not liable to bursting, is stated to be as resilient and as fast as any ordinary tube,-From the London

But for It's Effect, Says Senator New

 Senator Patterson declares that a hand-shake once prevented Statehood for New Mexico and he does not hesi- la te to tell just how and when Sen ator Elkins administered the hand shake, and Senator Burrows of Michi- gan was the possessor of the hand shaken. Elkins is Senator from West Virginia and Burrows from Michigan, but at the time they were members of the House. It was in the Forty-thir Congress, Elkins, though born in Ohio, was reared and educated ip Missouri, and is a graduate of the State univer- sity. After he graduated he went to New Mexico to practice law, and it was not so very long before he was sent as the delegate in the Congress of the Ter ritory Elkns was younger then than he is now but he showed signs of that talent for the management of men and affairs which has since made him a wealthy man and one of the quiet though powerful influences in the Sen ate He got up statehood bill and had great success With it in the Senate end of the Capitol.

NOT GOOD JNVESTM INT.

Some of the economical people of Missouri don't think that Charles May who moved into their State from Kan
 sas about the first of the year 1896, has
 proved good investment. He has been
 twice condemned to die for murder, and
 is now confined in the Buchanan county
 jail at St. Joseph awaiting a second
 trial for the murder of Robert Martin
 near DeKalb in December 1900 The
 tragedy of Sugar Creek church, of Feb ruary g, 1896, which resulted in the
 death of William l. Burdette, of that vicinity led to two trials. In the first Charles May was convicted of murder and sentenced to be hanged, The sec- ond trial resulted in his conviction for assault, with term of two years in the penitentiary. The cost of these trials was $2,27555, including Mays board while in jail. The trial which re- suited in his conviction a year ago cost $5S32O. This does not include board. which, at forty cents a day since his incarceration, amounts to $200 If to these sums is added $500, the probable cost of the second trial for the murder of Robert Martin, which will be held at the June term of the criminal court, and an allowance made for the cost of appeals to the Supreme court. it is fig ured that this man has cost the State in the neighborhood of S4,000 since es- tablishing his residence in Missouri.
 Of course May isn't worth s4OOO but Missouri has got off cheaply compared with what similar citizens have cost some States. Murder trials must be cheap in Missouri if they can have them for about $1,000 apiece. New York has trials which cost quarter of million.
