There Is Presbyterian family In
Washington which owns or is owned

grandmother came to visit them recent
" and reproached them because the
child had not yet been baptized. The
mother protested lamely that she ex-
pected to defer that until the boy
should unite with the church. Grand
mother shifted and said IL they waited
till the boy protested religion and
wished to Join the church they'd wait
until the forty-first ycar of the niillen-
mum; 80 it was decided that he should
be baptized at once. Somewhat of the
discussion reached the yOungster, and
he marched bravely up to his mother.
"Iave got to be baptized?" he asked.
"Yes, DEAR" answered the mother.
"All right, them" said he cheerily. II
don't care when you have 1t done. I
had my arm broken, and I had my
shoulder dislocated, and didn't feel 1t
4 bit when the doctor fixed them. Just
have 'em give me little chloroform,
and they can baptize me all they want"

The Giant spider Of ceylo..

1A0 0A0ut OptOeE O1 CeyI00e
Far up in the mountains Of Ceylon
there is a gigantic spider which. spins
a bright yellow web, each thread being
almost as large and strong as button
hole twist or embroidery floss. The
net which this creature forms from
these webs is often five to eight feet
across. This net is swung on MAIN
stays or guys which are from ten to
twenty-five feet in length and strong
enough to call the pedestrian to halt
as suddenly as II he had encountered a
low hanging clothesline. These yellow
webs are collected by the natives az
well as by Dutch and English residents
and woven into pretty mats, screens.
