The World at Large.

A New York newspaper man, aweary
of the clank of the cable car and the
clannor OF the elevated, hired team
in the suburbs and drove out into
natures heart. The heart of nature
being rather larger than he had ante
ipated, he lost his way and was two
days behind schedule time when he
arrived within sight Of the suburb.
Imagine his surprise, upon progress
ing inward, to find the bill boards
plastered with placards describing him
as horse-thief. lnasmuch as he was
not arrested, he is suspicious of his
friends who seem to be exceptionally
delighted over his misfortune. Some
of the New Workers who have an idea
New York is most of the world, should
carry compass when they go into
Gods country. There's heap Of
ground outside the city limits.

When boy we often wanted to go
fishing, but sometimes mother insist
ed on our wedding the garden first.
The world is not as lenient as mother.
The garden of life must always be
weeded before one can reach covet-
ed goal. There is no shutting or avoid
ing-only the cold matter of fact sit
uation tomeet. Happy are those who
philosophically set about the work and
do it with glad heart. Success is
Sweeter for it.
Honestly, don't care much for the
theatre. If l could go three or four
nights week, twice on Sunday and
take in few of the matinees, I'd
be satisfied. This spending all ones

cracked up to be.

Strange South African Animals.

A naturalist at Hanover, Cane Col
Ony, describes many remarkable small
animals which abound there. Among
them is a gecko, called by the Dutch
farmers ''getje," whose large tail
comes of with a slight touch, and re-
mains jumping about on the ground,
attracting the attention of an enemy,
while the animal itself sinks away,
and eventually grows q new tail.
Among the solifugae is q most ex-
traordinary animal resembling q
spider, sometimes nearly three inches
long, and Of which Mr.. Cronwriqht
Schreiner says that he knows "no
creature which for its size is so ter
ribly armed" Its disproportionately
large head is made up mainly of dou-
bic pair Of nippers Of great power.
The "iacht spinnekop," as the Dutch
call the animal, hunts for its living
and is q fierce fighter. Sometimes 1t
will kill a scorpion. There are many
trap-door spiders that display great
ingenuity, and several poisonous spe-
cies of dreadful appearance.-Nature.
