One must be an early riser if he
would photograph a spiders web, for
the delicate fabric must be taken when
the dew is yet on it, so that the out
lines will be in sharp relief. The best
success is obtained when the webs
are on pine trees, and spiders seem to
favor these trees because OF the shell
ter they afford. Look on the least ex-
posed side of the tree for your web,
for instinct teaches the little creatures
to make their homes where the strong
winds do not strike. In taking the
picture the lens should be brought very
near the web, In order to make the
threads as large as possible l have
photographed q spiders web with n

instrument having equally good sue
cess N each case. II is well to have a
rubber focusing cloth and TO keep 1t
over the camera all fhe time, for the
person who hunts spiders webs early

HOW to Done a Dog.

A dose of castor oil is as disc greeable
TO the ailing dog as to the ailing hui
man being. He kicks against it. and
does right, when he is grabbed by the
back of the neck, and with his jaws
yanked apart with a towel awaits the
nasty dose. This is poured down his
neck-on the outside. 1t is usually fol
lowed by a few more doses all Of
which go the same way, which is the
wrong way. The jaws are in a wise,
the dog is in torture, and he is ready
to condemn bis very best friend for
thus treating him shabby. If they
only were sensible enough to know
how any dog, from the meanest cur
10 the biuest blooded canine on earth,
was in the habit of taking his oil, it
would be different but they are all at
sea on the subject, and poor doggie IS
about dead when a friend utters:
Hump! All chumps on dogs, ! see
Pour the stuff over the poor fellows
paws"
Lo, and behold! The wise few who
thought they knew all about dogs and
dog things learned something to their
credit when they saw how carefully
Towser licked his paws, cleaned them,
and thus took his oil without fuss and
in the proper way Outing.

The Term "creenhorn.,'

The term "greenhorn" originated in
this way The pioneers OF the west
were much given to hunting deer 1t
was a fact known to early settlers that
when the horn OF fawn began to
grow there was ring OF green hair
around the spot. It was considered
disgraceful thing for hunter TO kill a
fawn, cruei act, and the killing time
was regulated by the growth Of the
horn. There was u sort of unwritten
law that no one should kill a male
fawn before its horn could be seen. A
person who was SO unthoIghtful as TO
kill deer under tho proper age was
called a "grcenhorn" Hs was SO
named because the young horn Of the
deer and the hair around it were still
green. The use OF the appcllation
gradually spread until 1t was applied
TO all raw or inexperienced youths or
persons easily imposed upon.
