The Envleus Woman.

The train had pulled out Of the ter
minal. and the conductor was on his
fare collecting tour. Ia one car there
sat alone woman dressed in deep
mourning, her heavy veil having been
lifted to allow breath Of air. When
the conductor approached her the wo-
man burst into tears.
As she cried as II her heart would
burst the conductor asked her what
was the matter She sobbed this reply:
Ten years ago took my first husband
over this road TO be cremated, FIVE
years ago | took my second husband
on the same trip to the crematory, and
now / am taking my third husband to
be condemned to ashes"
Just then there were loud sobs heard
coming from a seat on the opposite
side Of the car The conductor turned
and saw another woman crying. Ap-
preaching softly. he asked the weeping
one. What is the matter, MADAME"
Taking her handkerchief from her
eyes. the second In tears answered,

The Snlnn Geese.

Richard Bell In his book, my
Strange Pets" tells Of the solan geese,
which In Great Britain In bygone days
used to be sailed and dried for human
food: MANY years ago these dried
geese found their way to the iowlands
of Scotland and were used as an appe-
tier. A small portion when eaten be-
fore meals was supposed TO tickle the
appetite. In this connection have
heard a good story. 4 worthy farmer
In the neighborhood gave dinner par
~, and when the dinner was in prog
ress he asked one OF his guests II he
would have another portion upon
which the guest remarked, I think !

SOciablc Spiders,

Spiders have been observed In Ma
dras which live in a spOnge-like nest OF
branching network. penetrated Inter
nally by canals Of communication and
furnished with a number OF external
apertures. The nests. which may be at
tached either to the tips Of branches or
to leaves Of the prickly pear, are ashy
gray in color and constructed Of leaves,
with an external covering Of the usual
sticky threads. The spiders are similar
In color TO their nests. Their incon-
spcuous, sheet-like webs radiate In all
directions, and as many as five or six
nests, connected by intermediate webs,
may be found on single plant. The
connecting webs, which are very
strong, often form tubular bridges be-
tween the nests. From forty TO a hun
dred spiders may be found in a single
nest, and males and females lnhabit
the same nest in the proportion Of
about seven to one.

How the Bulldog Was Evolved.

In the north hall OF the British Nat
ural History museum skulls of domes-
ticated dogs are arranged which Illus
trate the evolution of the modern bull
dog from breed which, according to
old pictures. was more Of the mastiff
type. Bull batting was common sport
In the thirteenth century, and there
Is a later record which draws dis
tinctlon between bulldogs and mastiffs.
Low, In his "Domesticated Animals OF
the British Islands" points out that it
is essential that a dog which makes
frontal attack on Il bull should be both
UNDERLYING and short legged, that 1t
may get firm grip Of its antagonist
and avoid its horns. We may therefore
be sure that. as the bulldog was gradu-
ally evolved from the mastiff, these
points were held to be Of prime Inn
portance.

Butterfly collectors are seldom able
TO estimate with any confidence the
value OF their collections, since the
prices for specimens so constantly va
ry. A ease In point Is that of the blue
butterfly OF Brazil. specimens OF which
were originally sold for from $50 to
$T5. Afterward some collectors who
supplied tie london market ran into a
perfect swarm OF these butterflies and
shipped To Eucl1u1 such quantities
that better specimens Than the original
insects sold FOR 81 ccch. |; not infre-
quently happens that two or three
specimens Of q certain family are dis
covered by collectors. who, encouraged
by the high prices received for their
finds, are tempted 10 prosecute their
search for this particular variety with
out result for several years. Suddenly
they or some other collector finds the
insects grown plentiful, and the cher
Ished varieties Of tie cabinet become
among the commonest specmens.-Chi-

country an innumerable quantity Of
books and scientific treatises and that
their general, Saad Ibn Abb Oueccas,
asked Caliph Omar by letter If he
would allow him to distribute those
books among the true believers with

him in these terms: Throw them into

which can guide men to the truth VIC

The earth's sensible atmosphere Is
generally supposed to extend some for

but becoming at only few miles from

cases of pneumonia resulted from a cid
