Not q Society Leader.

An Erie man who has no ambition
to be Chesterfield or leader Of
Erie's Four Hundred was invited out
to dinner few evenings ago. He con-
jured up every excuse imaginable, and
as q last resort tried to make his wife
believe she was sick and unable to 60,
but she gave him to understand that
she was going and he must accompany
her. "Well." he said, I'm sick my
self, but l reckon I'll have to CO." And
they went. When the first course was
brought ON the old gentleman filed up
pretty well, but seemed to be getting
along all right. In the middle Of the
second course he declared he was full
"clean up" and pushed back from the
table. "Ahem. you folks jist 60 ahead
an eat your supper an don't mind
me. I've got to go home an feed the
pigs."-Erie (Kan.) Record.

A NARROW ESCAPE.
Dramatic Climax to an Exciting VIII
Contest Case.

Inc conversation turned on the mo
mentous effects of trihes at times
when they were least expected to have
any influence at all, and this reminded
MI Thompson of an episode in his
own practice as lawyer.
1T was the most exciting legal bat
tie of my life" he said, and every one
present begged him to tell it.
"A fight was going on for the pos
session of large fortune" continued
be, while the others settled themselves
for the story. "a wayward son was
contesting the Will of his father, and
the case abounded in dramatic fea-
lures. Charge and counter charge were
frequent The young man was explo-
sive, hot tempered and without char
acter How much his family had suf-
fered through him no one ever knew
The young rascal had hoped to get his
fathers vast fortune, and now he saw
the case going against him and the
money slipping through his fingers.
The last link In the chain of evidence
was all that was needed, and that
would be supplied by the testimony of
bis sister. Her name was called, and
as she stood up-she was a beautiful
creature-there arose buzz of admira-
ton such as sometimes comes from an
audience. She flustered at that and
hesitated, then started for the witness
| stand. got up as she was passing
me, intending to reassure her. and ac-
| cidentally stepped on her gown. Gowns
had slight train in those days. My
awkwardness saved her life"
He paused for moment to note the
effect Of his words. "The admiration
Of those in the courtroom was the final
touch to that worthless brother He
sprang up and, drawing revolver
from his pocket exclaimed, Well, If
don't get the money you never will,
and fred at her as she came toward
him. My checking her by treading on
her gown made her step backward, and
the bullet missed her by an inch."-

A Chinese superstition.

The Chinese have a remarkable su-
perstition about the Chu river. which
Is the local name on the border for the
Chatting. A considerable trade in
drugs is borne along this river, for
which special class of boats, COM
posed Of very light boards fastened
with wooden nails, is built. The ma
tives say that the magnetic attraction
of the bed of the river is so strong
that were ordinary boats used the iron
nails would be pulled out. Along the
river banks iron is mined in primitive
fashion, and from geological evidence
It is believed that the ore Is very rich.

Sword Stands In Churches.

Sword stands came into use In Lon
don churches when it became custom
ary to carry the city sword before the
lord mayor as he went to church in
state. During service the sword was
placed in the stand or case provided
for it, and in his own church the lord
mayor generally had the stand placed
conveniently near to or in his family
pew. This custom, which was quite
common before the end of the six
teenth century. apparently began in
the reign Of Elizabeth. The state Wis
its to the city churches were discontln
ned in the mayoralty of Sir r. N. FoW

many spiders and great many webs.

spiders webs are in demand among

tain astronomical Instruments, the sur
geons using them to stop hemorrhages
with and the instrument makers using
them in certain very delicate instru-
ments--lnstruments wherein, strange to
say, a human hair would not take their
place, because a hair is neither fine
enough nor durable enough to serve the
required purpose.
Besides selling the webs also sell
the spiders. A corrupt class of wine
dealers buy the spiders. These men
put them among bottles of new wine.

SEWING COTTON.
The Humble Origin of the Great
Thread Industry.

The Humble Origin of the Great
Thread Industry.
The origin of sewing cotton was told
at a cotton manufacturers meeting by
tie head Of the great thread house of
Paisley, Scotland. 1t was discovered
in 1903 by his grandfather, who had
little business in Paisley, making silk
twine for heddles, which were used by
every weaver. The silk came from
Hamburg, and in 1903 Napoleon caused
the stock held there to be burned in Or
der to hamper British trade. The weav
ers were in despair, but James Clark
conceived the idea that cotton yarns
could be twisted together to form the
twiues
The experiment soeceedeA> and from
this grew the idea that cotton could be
substituted for flax in the manufacture
of sewing thread and would not be so
coarse and harsh. He began the manu-
facture of the thread in a very small
way. It was at first put up in skeins
and had to be wound into little balls by
the purchaser and then Mr. Clark In
vented the modern spools. He had them
made by a wood turner, half gross at
a time. They cost him sixpence doz-
en-, and he charged the purchaser of the
thread a halfpenny for the spool,
which, however, was refunded when
the spool was returned. The ladies of
Paisley used to come to his shop with
their spools and wait while he wound
the thread on them. From this small
beginning grew great industry.
