Huge Spiders woye Them

Every one who owns little strip Of

spider webs, matter Of small diff
Guilty and lightly performed, but pop
ular naturalist who lately returned
from the great woods of Central Amer
lea came across spiders webs of such
strength and huge dimensions athat
they were positive obstacles In his
path. Needless to say, the tenants Of
these webs were of monstrous size.

he says. 1T had a diameter Of more
than six feet, without including the
long brace threads that run out like
forestays to the extremity of the sur
rounding branches. | then took num-

and then your mind runs back gulltlly
over your past. He takes out his little
book-onc of small library VI little
books which he carries In his blouse
and inquiries your age, your nationality
and how long you intend to stay.
You learn subsequently that record
Of every person in the empire IL care
fully kept, with full details as to his

There may be times when 1t suits

Most people work harder and econo-
mize their vacation time more grudg.

they do in any other part Of the year.
They hate to lose minute of enjoy

or course there are tlmes-every day
when time seems absolutely wasted,
and these are the times when mems
tempers are on edge and things go
crOsswlse. Chief among this list of
wasted and monotonous intervals Is
the time spent in waiting for n car, in
travelling on 1t after you get 1t, in wait
ing for meals, in fuming over dilatory
appointments or by reaching there too
soon. Other instances are where the

Curious Freak of Insane Persons.

A Belgian physician, speaking Of
stimulation by the insane, says that in
cases of insanity where the intellectual
faculties are not too much disordered
the insane may simulate another form
of insanity than their own. The forms
of insanity most often simulated are,
In order of frequency, imbecility, de-
mentia and mania. The other forms
are not so frequently simulated. A
lunatic generally Stimulates insanity 10
escape punishment, and an expert ply
sician should not therefore in such
cases be satisfied with a diagnosis of
stimulation. Such diagnosis does not
exclude real insanity, and the physi-
clan should therefore endeavor TO as
certain whether or not the simulator Is
himself lunatic. With care, patience
and long continued observation II is
possible TO make n complete and cor
rect diagnosis, and this is the more i'm
portant as in these cases the serious
question of responsibility arises.-Lon-

Sayings About Breadcrumbs. =.

In the days when the bread loaf
was dear careful mothers had a set Of
thrift sayings which are seldom heard
In this time of the big, cheap loaf
Crumbs were regularly swept up and
kept for some useful purpose. If a
child threw crumbs in the fire, the old
fashioned mother lifted a warning fin
ger and said, "If you throw crumbs in
the fire, you are feeding the devil"
Children were told that the better part
of loaf was the crust, and when a
child was sent to the shop for bread
the order was to ask for "a crusty
loaf" If child left It's crust, came the
warning: "Yes, my lady Tor my lad,
you'll want for loaf some day. You'll
find hungers a sharp thorn. Notes

A Quick witted Doctor.

A certain French surgeon, of whom
The Young Ladies' Journal tells, had 80
much more thought for his patient than
for his own safety on one occasion that
he resorted to an eXpedient which, al
though efiicacious, might have resulted
in his own death.
He had been commissioned to bleed
the grand seignior and either through
timidity or nervousness had met with
an awkward accident. The point of
the lancet broke off in the vein, and the
blood would not flow.
That point must be got out somehow.
Without stopping to consider the con-
sequences to himself, the surgeon gave
his highness a violent slap in the face.
This produced the desired effect, for
surprise and Indignation on the part
Of his august patient put the blood into
violent circulation. The vein bled free
ly, and the lancet point came out.
The bystanders were about to lay
hands on the surgeon when he said,
"First let me finish the operation and
bandage the wound" This done, he
threw himself at the feet of the sultan
and explained his action.
The sultan not only pardoned him,
but gave him a handsome reward for
keeping his wits about him I'm a critical
moment.

Men and Beasts.

l once had q trainer, an old Irish
man, who had served in British regi-
ment in India and who knew the ways
of tigers in every detail. He taught
three Of them to do more work in the
show arena than have ever seen done
by tigers. | have seen him sitting
down between two of them at rest
times during rehearsals and examining
their claws to see if any of them were
sore or split. Any one who has ever
tried that with even a house cat knows
that 1t strikes the feline nature as an
unwarrantable familiarity, but they
never did more than show their teeth
and whine, and that in half playful
ness.
One day he got very drunk. l had
never known him to transgress before.
Before he was noticed on his return to
the cage he had gone in with his IT,
gers and fallen in heap on the floor.
The other keepers tried to take him
out Of the cage, but to have done so
would have meant a bitter and bloody
fight with the three striped ones. They
guarded him all night in his drunken
slumber. The next time he put them
to work, however, they baked, and he
could neither persuade nor drive them.
They had ceased to trust him, or some
thing of that sort, and his usefulness
with them was at an end completely

A Fishcrman's wild Sail 60 Procure
Medical Aid.
"'The lack of physicians IL one of the
horrors of the isolation in which the
Newfoundlanders Of this coast live"
says Norman Duncan In Ainslee's.
'Thcre is none within fifty miles OF
most harbors; none within reaching
distance of many. 1t Is related OF n
well to do fisherman who was some
thing OF n merchant that his wife,
whom he fonGly loved, lay in agony
for many days while an autumn gale
ragged. No man in the harbor would
put off In a skiff to fetch the nearest
physician, who lived fifteen miles down
tho coast, for there was no possibility
that he who ventured could survive.
On the fourth day the wind moderated.
Two men volunteered to accompany
Allerton. They set sail In the first
hours Of snowstorm, which abated,
however, before they reached their des-
tination. Fighting doggedly they took
the boat safely in, after indescribable

they knocked on the physicians door.

whiskers and strange dress suit ana
who had been very polite. When the
man had bent to lift Cupes dress suit
case, Cupe had said, "No, no. no,
thanks" and told him and Eb and the
chatty housekeeper, who were also in
the hall, that he would carry II up
stairs himself, for he needed the exer.
else.
His unfolded dress suit case surged
with his two white shirts, seven sepa.
changes of other clothes. Then he
heard girlish voices in the hall; they
must be the dinner guests chaperoned
by some young wife from across the
hedges. They were really the two
maidservants.
"Knuckle, knuckle," deferentially on
the door.
Come in," said Cupe. In poked the
side whiskered head Of the butler or
porter. "Will you have n cocktail,
sirT'
Cupe's own head was full Of dress
suits, so he thought the butler said,
"Will you have a coattailT
"Yes, please" answered Cupe, and
while waiting for the dress suit to come
began deciding between his two white
shirts In the case.
"Knuckle, knuckle," again on the
door. Cupe hoped the suit would fit.
But 1t was Eb who entered.

the cocktail.
"And the coattail" inquired Little
Cupe. He said this partly to Eb. He
would let him upbraid his own serv-
ant. Eb stared; the butler stared; the
house seemed to sigh to Little Cupe.
There had been no relieving feature
to the situation. Eb thought Cupe
might have meant to say some indefl-
mite jokes; the butler or porter proba-
bly, thought so too. Cupe was now at
the dining room table with his napkin
fallen to his feet, where he was un-
able to pick it up. He had entered the
dining room very erect, for he had ex-
pected to find the invited girls there
and wanted them to be favorably i'm
pressed and whisper to each other, but
he learned he was to be alone with
Eb and his only conquest the courses.
He didn't know how to take all Of
them out of the platters, but that same
porter or butler was valuable man
and did it for him.
After the dinner Little Cupe felt
much relieved. He discussed the paint
ings, for he had taken course in
fine arts" once as n "snap" and smok-
ed many cigars. He didn't know when
to stop smoking, and Eb marveled.
That's about all that happened to
Little Cupe. Eb, who at last realized
that Cupe had expected to stay over
Sunday, If not week, explained to
him that he himself, unfortunately,
had to be away for the day, but urged
Cupe to remain and have at his dis
posal the house and horses
mo, thanks; no." said Cupe. 81
promised the fellows would be back
for church."
This latter tale was unfortunate, for
Cupe had to rise in the morning earlier
than he would have otherwise.
He felt much like this story, which
started with graphic enthusiasm and
then wilted away like bashful school
boy. But you should have heard the
reasons he gave the medical students
why he didn't stay over Sunday. Nice

HOW WALLACE VOTED

Certain. men who are working in the
interests Of e. e. Smith, candidate
for senator In the forty-th third district,
are making certain false statements
relative to Carl Wallace, the rival cam
didate, calculated to injure him. They
are saying Mr. Wallace voted last win
ter to cut the personal property sex
emption down to $25 The truth is, not
one member of the legislature voted to
do this e. 49,, .-S
It is true the bill reported by the tax
commission provided for a S25 exemp-
ton; it is also true that Governor Van
SAINT sent the legislature a message, sug-
costing that the exemption be placed
back at Sl0O. u
Acting on this suggestion, Mr.. Roberts
of Hennepin on Feb 10 offered an amend
nent to the tax code, making the ex-
emption $500. Mr.. Nyquist of Blue Earth
then offered substitute for Mr.. Rob-
erts' amendment, making the exemp-
ton 5000, the limit allowed by the con-
stitution. " .''''~ -- - -
When the vote was taken on the SUBJ
stitute, it was carried by q vote Of 70
for to 81 against Mr.. Wallace was
! one of those voting for the substitute
| of Mr. Nyquist, so that when the final
vote was taken on the tax code, the
amount Of property exempt under it was
5000. -
| These facts are all to be- found in
| the house journal of Feb. 10, hence the
statements relative to Mr.. Wallace are
known to be false by whoever author
| lied or procured them to be made.
