A Spider and a King.

On the ceiling of one Of the rooms in
Sans Souci, the world renowned palace
of Frederick the Great In Prussia, is
the painting of a huge spider with its
web. The reason for this odd deeora-
ton is that one morning just as the
king was about to drink his usual
morning cup Of chocolate In this room
he turned aside for something, and
when, a moment later, he took up the
cup he noticed a small spider had
fallen into it. Immediately upon Civ
ing an order for a fresh cup a pistol
report was heard. and 1t was discov-
cred that the cook had shot himself.
The reason for this. it was later found
ora was that he had poisoned the
chocolate. and of curse when a fresh
cup was ordered he supposed his
treachery had been discovered. 1t was
In remembrance of this narrow escape
that Frederick ordered a spiders web
to be painted on the ceiling.

Cassius VI. CLAW rs n Fighter.

General Cassius NJ. Clay fought many
duels in his day, usually with his long
bladed knife. meeting pistol or rifle
equally with that trusty weapon. His
physical strength was gigantic. He
was accustomed to the use of weapons,
and he was always cool and lost
his judgment. For example. when an
adversary shot him and he supposed he
was done for he inflated his lungs to
the full, conscious that he would live
as long as he could hold his breath;
then he drew his knife and did his
bloody work. That was when he killed
Turner. After all, speaking musingly,
reviewing his life, he confessed to u re-
porter when he was above eighty-four
that he was opposed on principle to the
duel, thinking it a savage way to settle
a difficulty. But there are some cases
for which it seems to be the only rene
dy," he added.

Helen had been only "a few days in

fectly clear that she had made a deep

her, asked her if she would marry him.
Helen was q little more than four

HAD TO WAIT A LITTLE.
rhe Reason Lizzie Gould Not Marry
Ted on the Instant.


Late In the sixties actors still had

basket boy" and the very first and
most important duty of the actor or
actress after rehearsal was to get the
basket ready and place il outside the
door; then only one might feel free.
Well. Cupid had been taking a little
Gler behind the scenes. and a young
comedian had been stricken with love
for a bit of a girl who danced between
the first play and the farce. One day
he saw the old leader of the orchestra
tap her cheek with his bow. and the
awful familiarity was too much to be
endured silently. He walked home
with her. and in the boarding house
hall he spoke. A minister's name was
mentioned. Il number. Il street, some
thing about a license. Nothing seemed
very clear except his love and his de-
sire to get married at once. at once!
"Oh. Lizzie. will you marry me? Dear
little Lizzie. will your" he implored.
And Lizzie. who was about the height
of a nine-year-old child. but was full
sixteen. very pink and very pleased.

Down went Ted's face. "Wait!' he

USES FoR NETTLEs.
They Are Good 10 Eat and Furnish
Thread and Clothing.


There was a time once when the
common nettle was not the usually de
spised weed it is now. People did not
root 1t out of existence or shun IL as q
nuisance, but cultivated It for use as
food. for clothing and for paper manu-
facture.
1t certainly does not look inviting as
a food. and yet during the Irish famine
hundreds of poor people existed entire
~ on it, cooking the young plant as
green's. There was a method of blanch-
ing it by 'earthing UP" as is now used
for sea kale.
Animals, willie refusing to touch the
growing nettle. devour 1t eagerly when
made into hay, and in Russia, Sweden
and Holland it is moved several times
a year for fodder.
The common name given TO the nettle
in some languages means that with
which one sews," for the fiber was
used as a thread several centuries ago.
In Kamchatka the natives use the
thread for fishing lines and cordage. In
France it is used for paper. In Hindu
stan and China 1t is woven into grass
cloth, and the Scotch have prepared,
spun and woven 1t into as good linen
as the fax makes.
The Chinese nettle yields a fiber as
soft az x. and there is now in Ores
den a alma grass mandatory de-
voted to the industry OF weaving cloth
from this and the common nettle.-

ONE GIRLS FRANkNESS.

Miss Maude Anderson, an independ-

Of extricating herself from g. false no.
sition. She publishes this card in a

I take this method of informing the
public that the runnor going over the
country that Jesse Henderson and arc
going to marry is without foundation,
never intended to marry him.
It would be impossible to find any
more frank and effective method BY
which a young woman could set herself
right before the public than this. It
is true it is not fashionable, and this
is unfortunate. It is a pity it is not
common. q
There is nothing that is more dis
tinctively a young woman's own busl-
ness than her plans for marriage-oc
her lack Of them. Yet, at the same
time, there is nothing that the public
with more brutal indelicacy seeks 10

And generally the poor GIRLS help
less. There is nothing she can 60
There is nothing it is proper for her to
say. She. must sit, inactive and ST.
lent; while secrets that are sacred to
her are banded about ON unsympa-
thetic lips. or while her fondest dreams
are withered under the premature
flight Of publicity. -
