The Changed Grizzly.

There are numerous reliable .fata-
men. Dut nowadays the grizzly does not
seek out his human victims. as there
are credible statements that his fore
fathers used to do. Naither does hs
lie in wait and, pouncing upon a hunt
er, tear him into bloody shreds in de-
lighted fendishness, as the old time
stories used to tell. The change In the
grizzly's disposition is likened by vet
eran hunters to the change in the char
acter Of the white cousin Of the grizzly,
the polar bear Of the nrctics. When

Cobweb Pills.

supposed to cure the ague, and in the

pended from string around the neck.
Tracing the spider web pill, It origi.
mated in China, where all species of in.
sects have certain positive or negative
values in medicine. In Peking 1t Is
customary to give two or three scor-
pions or spiders to patient III of fever.
In Ireland the peasantry swallow small
spiders alive to effect cures. From
these the cobweb pill Of the New Eng

live spider is fastened into the empty
shell of walnut and worn around the
neck of the patient. AS the creature

A HOUSE THAT FOLDED UP.
Adjustable Dwellings DeoIsned with
Reference to the Seashore,

Adjustable Dwellings Deoigned with
Reference to the Seashore.
I saw seashore lodge once, built
by man and his wife, who not only
had an increasing family of small
children, but also numbers of nieces
and nephews and friends whom they
loved to invite to the absolutely
free life Of their. wilderness lodge.
And they contrived a unique and in
expensive method of having many
rooms for sleeping without an i'm
mense house space besides.
The house had a vide porch and
a deep square bay or lookout" in
the living room. This room was it.
self square, and each corner had a
room built in it which had one per-
manent wall and one on hinges.
The partitions running from back
to front were immovable; those run
ming from side to side were hung on
heavy strap hinges and during the
day folded back against the immov-
able partitions, making thus alcoves
in each corner, the center being a
square, open space. Both partitions
were Of inch matched boards. To
accommodate the staircase, which
started up by one of these solid
partitions, one of the "rooms" had
half of each partition on hinges, SO
as not to get in the way of the stairs.
Inside each alcove was woven wire
mattress secured to the solid parti-
tion by hinges and with it's thick
cotton quilt mattress tied on it.
This was raised by pulley and rope
by day, and a curtain ran over it.
The staircase led to a gallery
which ran about twelve feet deep
around the building, .nak:.s The
ceiling Of these four lower rooms
and OF the square spaces between.
In each corner was another room,
rather larger than those below,
while in the recesses between were
windows and lockers, and these were
Four loafng places. Great stone jara
OF goldenrod and sea marsh grasses
stood in them, aH CID spinning
wheel, an aquarium and many odd
and characteristic things. The roof
Of the house, with its central peak,
made the ceiling for all this upper
portion, ar5 tie whole effect was
unique in the extreme. There were
then eight bedrooms at night, four
in the daytime. The fireplace was
between the two back corners and
served also as a chimney for the
kitchen stove, the kitchen being a
ene story .extension.-Gutting.

The Race or Etiquette.

In England the lord privy seal
and the lord president of the coun-
Gil, whatever their personal rank
may be, take precedence of all dukes.
Lord Granville was lord president
in Lord Palmerston's government
and was in attendance on the queen
at Holyrood. Her majesty gave a
banquet to the chief magistrates of
Edinburgh and the neighborhood,
and as she was taking her place at
the dinner table she noticed the
Duke of Hamilton, who was rather
famous for overestimating his own
greatness, struggling into the dining
room before Lord Granville. After
dinner the queen beckoned Lord
Granville to her and asked him why,
being lord president, he had allowed
q mere duke to take precedence Of
him. Because, ma'am," replied
Lord Granville, with Characteristic
simplicity, II can't run like 8 lamp
