ORFIOIAL NOrICE.

Numerous complaints have been
msde about the merchants Of this
city keeping their places Of busi-
ness open on Sunday. This is =
positive violation Of the ordinance
of the city and also Of the staulee.
It is not the desire 10 prosecute
anyone for an offense Of this kind,
but it does seem that the merchants
OF the city should have more re.
spect for the laws than to be guilt
y OF an open violation ofthe same,
aud especially on Sunday. And

Spiders' Webs.

The webs Of those spiders which spin
snares out Of doors. as the geometrical
garden spider, are formed Of two sorts
of silk, one of which is used for the
main cables and the radiating threads,
the other for the concentric threads.
The latter are thickly studded with
minute globules of a viscous substance.
which retains the fly, gnat or moth
that may blunder against them, while
the former are quite dry and harmless.
A third kind of silk is produced by the
busy little spinner when some such
large insect as wasp has become en-
tangled in the web and threatens to
break the delicate structure in its strug-
giles. This takes the form of an envel-
oping mass, which is suddenly produc-
ed and which effectually prevents any
further gyrations on the part of the
captured insect.-Cornhill Magazine.

Gluttonous Bass.

"Talk about sharks" said an Orange
county lake fisherman: Il don't believe
they are in 1t for promiscuous diet with
the black bass.
II was fishing one day with a very
large minnow on big hook. l had a
bite and hooked bass. 1t was big
one and gave me as pretty fight as
/ ever saw till 1t broke the leader at
the point where 1t is attached to the
line and got away.
1--WE fished In other parts of the lake
after that and finally started to the
landing, the guide rowing while skit-
tered with a minnow. We were pass
ing close by the place where had lost
the fish in the morning when I saw a
bass dart for my bait. l gave II time
to swallow and then struck. When
got the fish into the boat, I saw a
three foot leader sticking out Of its
mouth. 1t was the leader l had lost
in the morning. When cut the bass
open, there was the same big club 1t
had taken from my line, and it came so
nearly filling the fish's nav that the
tail of the last minnow was sticking
out of the mouth. There wasn't room
for 1t In the interior of the bass"-New
York Times.

Snail. Are Queer Creatures.

The snail is found everywhere, 1882
species being known, serving in France
as an important item of diet and in
this country an attractive inhabitant
Of the fernery. Some of the large trop-
ical snails, as bulimas, form nests Of
leaves, their eggs being as large as a
pigeons.
The snail is extremely skillful in
mending its she'll, and some curious ex-
periments may be tried with them.
Thus have seen helix of yellow
species attached to another shell of a
reddish hue by cutting off the top whirl
Of the latter, when the snail will pro-
ceed to weld the two shells together
and occupy both, using the addition as
a door and possibly wondering at this
sudden extension of its house.
In the winter some Of the snails hi
bernate or lie dormant until warm
weather, just as the snakes do in Cali
fornia. A snail Of the Philippine Is
lands has faculty of throwing of its
tall when seized. This is also true of
a West Indian variety-stenophus

Japaneae Fern Balls.

The lack of success of which some
people complain in the care of fern
balls is due probably to one of the fol-
lowing causes: Either cheap and
worthless ball was purchased or it has
not been kept properly damp, says
Home Notes.
1t Is no good to give the fern an oc-
casional soaking and then let it get
bone dry. 1t must be kept steadily
damp. A good plan is to put up hook
over the sink in the buffers pantry and
to hang it there to drain after its daily
tub. The daily tub Of lukewarm water
Is necessary for the well being of a
fern ball kept In the dry air of living
room, and care should be taken to Sc
cure 1t a place where 1t will have plen-
ty Of light. but little or no sunshine.
Even in the hottest weather it should
not be kept out OF doors, and drafts,
be it remembered, will ruin it.

Smoking Under Water.

Says an expert swimmer:
1t looks very strange to see a man 60
under water with lighted cigar in his
mouth, smoke calmly at the bottom
and come to the surface with the cigar
burning as nicely as if he were smok-
Ing in his easy chair. Apparently he
defies all natural laws, but of course
he doesn't
1t is simple trick, but 1t requires
practice. Just as l throw myself back
ward to go down flip the cigar end
for end with my tongue and upper lip
and get the lighted end in my mouth,
closing my lips water tight around it..
A little slippery elm juice gargled be-
fore going in prevents any accidental
burning Of the mouth. Going slowly
down backward, lie at full length on
the bottom Of the tank and blow smoke
through the cut end of the cigar. Just
as l reach the surface again another
flip reverses the cigar, and there am
smoking calmly. The reversing is done
SO quickly that nobody notices it.

"The Chimney Corner" abounds with
humor and pathos and the company
then producing 1t was OF great merit
for those times. Couldock appeared to
pay no attention to the apathy of his
audience until just at the close of the
performance. The concluding lines Of
the play are somewhat to this effect
"You. John, are happy, and so are you.
Ellen; so am /, and SO are we all. Let
US hope that our friends the public

But, to the surprise of everybody,
Couldock fell into towering passion

Romance of the Corinthian Column.

Romance of the Corinthian Column l..
In the winter a young girl had died
In Corinth. Some time afterward her
maid gathered together various trim
kets and playthings which the girl had
loved and brought them to the girls
grave. There she placed them In a
basket near the monument and put
large square tile upon the basket to
prevent the wind from overturning it.
1t happened that under the basket was
q root Of an acanthus plant. When
spring came, the acanthus sprouted,
but its shoots were not able to pierce
the basket, and accordingly they grew
around It, having the basket In their
midst. Such of the long leaves as
grew up against the four protruding
corners OF the tile on the top Of the
basket curled round under these cor
ners and formed pretty volutes.
Kallimachos, the sculptor, walking
that way one day. saw this and i'm
mediately conceived the notion that the
form Of the basket with the plaque
on top Of it and surrounded by the
leaves and stalks of acanthus would
be comely heading for columns in ar
chitecture. He from this idea formed
the beautiful Corinthian style of capi-
tai. Such, at least. Is the story as the
architect Vitruvius told it 1900 years
ago.

A Golf story.

A well known Scotch 'meenister''
took up golf and despite great practice
could not succeed in passing the tyro
stage. His simple exclamations of
"Tut, tut!' "Oh, dear, noww well,
well!" and the like were plain evil
dences of perturbed spirit.
One day. when the perspiration flow
ed freely from his lofty brow and his
honest countenance shone with a lus-
ter and radiance which, alas, were not
due to calmness Of soul, but rather the
heat of the sun and his laborious ef-
forts to move the obstinate sgutta
percha from its station on the tee, he
was tempted to indulge in strong Ian
guage. Dear, dear, but I'll have to
gle it up! I'll have to gle it up.' he
said at last, with despairing look at
the ball.
"Give up the game, Mr.. d." exclaim-
ed his friend, who had been a witness
OF his attempts.
INA, na-the meenistryv' answered
the other, with sigh.

The Sacred Bone.

The bone luz, or the resurrection
BONE" is at the lower extremity Of the
spinal column. The Jewish rabbis
taught that 1t was incorruptible, and
from it, as from a seed, the human
body would spring at the resurrection.
There is a Jewish tradition that the
Emperor Hadrian questioned a rabbi
as to the existence of this bone and
was convinced by the production of
one by the Jewish teacher. Various
attempts were made to destroy it. 1t
was cast into a furnace and came forth
unconsumed; it was stepped in boiling
water. but remained unsoftened; It was
smitten with hammer, and the ham,
mer was broken. Some trace Of the
former reverence for the bone is found
In the modern name.
