Will admit, right in the beginning,
says Harvey Switzerland in Ainslee's,
that this looks like a pretty large
story. but it is substantiated by no
less parsonage than the late Proctor
Knott, who was then Governor of Ken
lucky, though his greater claim to
fame was his speech in congress about
Duluth, the zenith city of the I'M
sailed seas" as he humorously called
it, which is very far indeed from being
anything nowadays but a plain state
ment of fact, as he lived to see Gov
ernor Knott made a signed statement
OF the event and sent it to Prof Nc
Cook, whose authority on the spider
question nobody will dispute He saw
the spider shortly after she had shared
the mouse by the end OF its tail and
while it was still alive and struggling
halfway off the ground and he saw
1t after it had been hoisted nine inches
from the floor and all wrapped up in
silk. He calls particular attention to-
the way the spider kept stirring up
the mouse by biting it so as to get
another line on it. | can just imagine
that spider after she had worked all
day hauling on lines and halloaing.

SparTowS seem to be governed by
about the impulses that cause a hun
CRY boy to tiptoe into the pantry and
coon fstful of cookies; that is.
they think thing is right because
they want to do it. 1t is no uncom-
mon thing to see a busy little cock
sparrow hop between d horses hind
feet and then dart up and seize a
hair of the horses tail. Unless inter
rupted the sparrow will pull at that
hair until he gets it. Then he will fly
away TO his nest in triumph. An Eng
fish writer describes a similar expert
ence with London sparrow. He SAYS:
Il have received a small story from
St James park which is interesting as
a confirmation OF the conclusions Of
science. My informant was feeding
with bread crumbs a wood pigeon at
his feet. One of the birds feathers.
an under tail-covert, which was ruffied
and out of place, caught the eye of a
sparrow. The sparrow flew down,
seized it in it's beak and pulled its
best. The feather did not yield at once
and the pigeon walked off with Of
Tended dignity. The sparrow followed.

In bulletin published about two
years ago Prof. l.. H. Bailey of Cornell
Agricultural College said in the course
of some general remarks on the plant
ing of flowers:
Where to plant flowers is really
more important than what to plant In
front of bushes, in the corner by the
steps, against the foundation of the
residence or clubhouse, along a fence or
a walk-these are places for flowers.
A single petunia plant against a back
ground of foliage is worth a dozen sim
lar plants in the center of the lawn.
But the person may want a flower
garden. Very well; that is a different
matter. 1t is not primarily a question
of decoration of the yard but of grow
ing flowers for flowers sake. 1t is not
the furnishing of a house, but the col
lecting of interesting and beautiful
furniture. The flower garden, there
fore, should be at one side of the resi-
dence or at the rear; for it is not al
lowabe to spoil good lawn even with
flowers. The size of the garden and
the things TO be grown in it must be
determined by the likes of the person
and the amount of time and land at
his disposal; but a good small garden
is much more satisfactory than a poor
large garden. Prepare the land thor
oughly, fertilze it, resolve to take care
of 1t, select the kind of plants you
like; then go ahead.

Wages and Living in Siam.

The United States consul at Bang
kok reports as follows concerning
wages paid to labor in Siam: En-
gineers. blacksmiths, pitters and boiler
makers receive 62h to rs cents per
day (gold; cabinet makers. carpenters
and brick layers 80 to 40 cents per
day; laborers Is to 80 cents per day;
tailors so cents per day; farm hands
$12 to $13 per season land found.
What would be leading and ordinary
articles of food in America cost as fol-
lows in Siam: Per pounds-Butter, 3Oc
to 45c; lard, Csc to 32c; -four, INC to
12c; tea, 13c to 45c; coffee, 2Sc to 32c;
ham, 23c to 45c; bacon. 23c to 45c:
mutton. 25c; sugar, &c to Sc: pork.
SIC; canned goods per can, zoe to
30c; chickens, each 15c to soc; ducks,
zoe to soc; geese, $3.50; turkeys, $3.50
to SIS.
The laborer with wages from Is to
80 cents day sits upon the floor in
his home, sleeps upon a grass mat.
cooks on box of earth or an earthen
crock for a stove. and eats his rice,
fish. and simple vegetables out of the
same dish with his family without
fork or knife or spoon. Eggs. which
are very cheap, he has at times; chick
en- on rare occasions. and l think
am safe III saying that beef is almost
unknown in the common laborer's
meal.
His house is a bamboo structure
with tap roof, and generally consists
of one small room about 10 feet
square, which is sometimes divided by
a low partition. Within these rough
walls and on floor of rough boards or
split bamboo. he and his wife and his
family eat and cook and sleep The
clothing of himself and family is the
most mea ger; a cloth around the loins
the woman generally wears a cloth
around the breast also-no shoes, sell
dom a covering for the head. holiday
and workingday alike. The more
fortunate on festive occasions may in
dulge in a piece of bright-colored cot
ton cloth thrown about their Shout
ders.
The mechanics differ from the labor
ing class in that they live together,
more closely packed, as tenants, in
large bamboo or wooden houses that
modern ideas have brought into the
city. They also have nothing in their
homes that could be called furniture,
but their food is more substantial. The
employers tell me that a mechanic
could not do his work and subsist on
the diet upon which the laborers live.
Yet the mechanics table can not be
compared with that of the humblest
laborer in America.
1t is interesting to note that. while
wages have advanced during the last
twenty wears some 75 or so Der cent
the eight staple articles upon which
the natives depend for food-rice, fresh
and dried fish, ripe and green cocoa
nuts, salt, bananas, and dried chiles-
have each advanced anywhere from 157
to us per cent, or an average of 800
per cent during the same time.

Close breeding may easily be carried
to excess, especially with hogs. At
least this is the opinion among some
of our most successful breeders. While
in-and-in breeding has served the pub
lie well, it must be conservatively con
Quoted to give the best results, which
means that it must not be made the
whole thing. The stamina must be
preserved. Nature has evidently de-
clared against this kind of breeding.
and this fact makes it unnatural.
Just what the laws are underlying it
we do not know, but we have only
to look over the tendency in the hu-
man family to understand that inces-
tuous breeding is unnatural. This prin-
ciple may not be as strong in the
lower orders as in the highest one, but
doubtless the law to some extent holds
good in all life.

Palm Troubles.

From Farmers Review: The palm
is increasing in popularity, year by
year, and many families have installed
it in the place of honor, in the win
dow garden. thinking it one CT the
plants almost able to take care of
itself. But they soon find out that. like
all other plants, 1t requires good
deal of attention. and just what this
attention should be they do not clearly
understand. | presume that dozen
letters about these plants come to me
every week, and the story they tell is
generally the Same-leaveS growing
yellow, or turning brown at the tips.
and a Sickly appearance, generally.
What shall be done to remedy mat
tiers?
Let me say, right here, that l would
always advise buying a palm in fall.
Get it before the greenhouse men find
it necessary to turn on heat at night.
The plants Will have been growing ali
summer in house not kept too warm.
and they Will be in much better CON
dition to adapt themselves to the con-
ditions which prevail in the living
room than they will later on, after
they have become accustomed to the
moist heat which characterizes the
ordinary commercial greenhouse. A
plant bought in fall viii be found
vastly more tractable than winter
bought one. Therefore, if you are 60
irg to get one for Christmas present
for your wife anticipate the season
somewhat. and buy it before cold
weather comes.
The palm should have the best of
drainage. Unless this is given it 1t
will be pretty sure to turn yellow in
a short time, and it's leaves will sooner
or later show the diSfguring yellow
tip of which such general complaint
is made. | know of no plant more
benefited by good drainage than this.
Provide every pot with at least two
inches of drainage material. and over
this spread a layer of Sphagnum moss.
cocoa fibre or something similar which
will prevent the soil from washing
down and filling the crevices through
which surplus water should be enabled
to run off readily. If drainage is good,
no trouble need be anticipated from
overwhelming.
Let the soil be one Of loan, with
some sharp sand mixed in. Leaf-mold
uOSS HOl sui JllS pain DIS Wei as q
heavier, SITTER soil.
Never keep the plants away from
the light long at a time. Give them
a place near the glass, but keep them
out of the sunshine.
Water when the surface of the soil
looks dry, and then give enough to
thoroughly penetrate all the soil in
the pat.
Shower the plants all over at least
once a week. Take them to the
kitchen, turn them down on their
sides and give them a thorough spray
ing with clear water.
If scales or mealy-bugs attack them.
as they are quite likely to do, make an
infusion of fir-tree oil soap. as direct
ed on the cans in which it cores. and
apply it to the plant with stiff brush.
removing as many of the pests as pos
sible in the operation. 1t is a good
plan to use this soap once a week.
as preventive, prevention being
worth more than cure-Eben K. Rex

Jerry, the fighting black cat of the
fish commission steamer Albatross,
after sixteen years of service, recently
met another black cat and died as a
result of the encounter. The ships
crew buried the mascot wrapped in
the flag, with martial honors, and held
a court-martial over his slayer. The
latter was sentenced to walk the
plank, and after he had been weighted
with iron the sentence was carried
into execution

Recipes.

Recipes.
Boiled Spinach-Wash carefully to
remove all dirt and insects. Put it in
a saucepan, enough water will cling to
it for the cooking. Cover the sauce
pan, stir occasionally so it does not
burn. After fifteen minutes add
tablespoonful of salt and cook five
minutes longer; then turn it into a
co!ander to drain. When it is dry
chop it very fine. Put in a saucepan
one and one-half tablespoonfuls of
butter and one tablespoonful of floor
after they are a little cooked add a
teaSpoonful of salt, dash Of pepper
and the spinach; cook five minutes,
then add half a cupful of cream or
milk and cook another five minutes.
Stir constantly. Serve either in vege-
table dish or in the center OF dish
with chops around it. If served in the
vegetable dish garnish with hard
boiled eggs.
Spinach Souffie-Take a cupful of
spinach which has been prepared and
mix with it the beaten yolk of an egg
and stir it over the fire until the egg
is set Let it cool When ready to
serve stir into it lightly the we'll
beaten whites of three eggs. Fill in
dividual buttered paper boxes half full
and place them in a hot oven for ten
or fifteen minutes. Serve at once;
like any souffle, it will fall if not suf-
ficiently baked or if not served very
promptly.
Scalloped Potatoes-Slice a layer of
raw potatoes in a baking dish. sprinkle
with pepper, salt and butter, dredge
lightly with -four and a few slices of
onion. Continue until the dish is full,
then pour over all enough milk to
moisten. Bake one hour, or more if
necessary
Garlic Ninegar-This liquid is more
convenient than to use cut onions in
potato salad, and usually is liked bet
tar. Into pint of vinegar slice a
dozen cloves of garlic, cover closely
and in two weeks strain into a bottle.
A teaspoonful of this vinegar is suf-
fcient to add to the vinegar required
for a quart of potatoes sliced hot.
To Can Strawberries WhOle-Hull
twelve quarts of berries, cover with
six cupfuls of sugar and let them
stand over night. In the morning
strain off the juice and boil it one
hour. Skim, put i'll The berries. boil
ten minutes, can and seal at once, and

Every berry will be whole, and as red
