A good story is told Ct Rochester
divine, not noted particularly for his
humor. The Ladies' Club ola certain
church was called to meet at a stated
time, and every member was especially
charged to bring an item of religious
news.
One Of the ladies, probably accus.
toned to depending more upon Others
than upon her own resources, finding
herself unprepared with the requisite
item as the hour for meeting ap
preached. conceived the notion of call
ing upon DR., Blank, pastor in another
denomination. He responded to the
call on the telephone, when substan.
TALLY the following conversation Ell
sued:
ClubwOman-"Dr. Blank, I am just
or my way to meeting Of woman's
club at - Church. We are required
to bring an item of religious news. Can
you give me One?'
Dr.. Blank-"Hm, ali! The -
Church, you say?'
ClubwOman-"Yes.'
DR.. Blank-"Tell them that Jesus
Christ died to save sinners. "-RochesY

Curious Habits OF Spiders.

The water spider carries air down
with 1t when it dives. DR.. McCook saw
one remain forty-five minutes under
the water. One water spider builds a
nest under the water attached to the
stem Of some plant, and In the shape of
diving bell. with the opening down.

ing down bubble at time. Coming
to the surface 1t enclOses an air bubble
under Its body. and instantly descends.
Getting under the nest the bubble is
allowed to escape into 1t, and this pro.
cess continues until the nest Is full Of
air. The spider then lays its eggs
there, inclosed in n cocoon, and leaves
them for the young to grow in this un.
der-water palace, safe from all flying
foes.
When these water spiders are seen
under water they look like little balls
of shining silver. Little bubbles of air
seem to cling among the hairs of their
bodies. AS spiders, like insects, breathe
the air at little holes along the whole
length of the body, they can easily
make use of these bubbles Of air for
breathing.

Inc IelepnOne.
II want to talk to Clover Bloom
Said Buttercup one day.
II wish there was a telephones:
She lives so far away, heigh-ho!

Now Mr.. Spider heard her speak
As he was passing by;
"Ill build for you telephone.
At least I'd like to try, he, he!
A builder fine am l."
So then he climbed the ladder stem,
And then he spun a thread
Above the Dasies-how they stared!
Above the GRASS head, hi, hi;
To Clover's home it led
A silken wire telephone.
Now Buttercup is gay,
For she can talk to Clover Bloom

braid, which is very strong and pliable.
Take alternately each outside strand
and cross 1t over the two following
strands. The four-stranG cording shown
in Figure 6, to my mind, gives better
shaped rope than the one just de.
scribed. The diagram itself is the best

strand under the one next to it, and

A Profitable Crop.

1t is safe to say that the market gar
deners near our large cities realize
greater profits from lettuce than from
any other vegetable. 1t is very hardy
plant, and when well under way with
stands not only quite a degree of cold,
but also the heat. If the plants are
partially protected by being set out on
the sunny side Of ridges, they progress
much more rapidly in growth than
when not so carefully managed, and
the quicker they can be grown the bet
ter the quality. If the plants are set
out in rows wide enough to admit the
free use Of the hoe. and well MANFRED
they will become solid, but when sown
broadcast on rich beds they also fur

EvRpOratetl Corn,

1t takes about ten ears to average one
pound Of evaporated corn, and 100
pounds Of fresh cut corn will make n
trifle over twenty-five pounds Of the
finished product of high grade. If the
corn is hard and nearly ripe this yield
would be increased but at the expense
of quality. Such corn will sell at from
eight to ten cents per pound in ear lots,
according to the market. Most of those
engaged in evaporating corn have in
creased their business gradually and
pay from twenty-five to forty cents
per hundred ears, or about 50 per ton,
delivered at the factory in the husks.

you hang up your lasso when not using
1t, for grease has a very penetrating
quality.
The art of throwing lasso can not
be reduced to rule. No two men do 1t
alike. If you ask cowboy to teach
you he will say that every man must
learn to do it for himself by practice.
He will be quite willing to show you
how he throws the rope, but his style
will be quite different from the very
next cowboy you meet, and is certain
to be entirely different from the method
you finally adopt. Practice is the only
master who can teach lasso throwing.

Eccentric Dunkard Pastor,

There took place at Hancock, Nd.

Weller, an aged Dunkard preacher,
who had been pastor of one of the
village churches for more than forty
years, during which time he never &C.
cepted a salary or other compensation,
and never took up collection.
He married more couples and bap-
tized more people than any other

the purveyor of death and plays into his
