In America you wouldn't buy a farm

may be a few inches of space on the

SociabIe Spiders.

Spiders are not always solitary
creatures. A scientist has lately
found in southern India a species
Of spider that builds spongy nests
with outlying webs, each nest being
occupied by forty to hundred spi-
derS, with a large excess of females.
Sometimes five or six nests are clus-
tered together. The spiders not
only live and work together, but
they share with one another any
prey that may be captured, and
some even show maternal affection
approaching self sacrifice.

HOLIDAYS IN MEXICO.

Local Celebrations.

are numerous, but Are Not All
Local Celebrations.
The visitor in Mexico is apt to be
surprised at the number of holidays
CELEBRATED here and made the occasion
OF rsjoicing, with accompanying music
and decoration. and is likely to think
that the Mexican does nothing but
celebrate.
WITH his religious and national feast
days the Mexican does have many
Holidays of more or less general i'm
portance, and when he is not celebrat-
ing these he may be celebrating the
DAY OF his patron saint or of that of
some member Of his family, so that 1t
seems to require little inducement for
him to celebrate. If a member of the
family goes out Of town for a few
Gays or weeks, his return Is celebrat
ca in some mild way and his welcome
home made pleasant.
But not all OF the celebrations which
take place In the capital are Mexican.
- the foreign colonies contribute their
share Of feast days. The Americans
eeiebrate their day Of independence on
the glorious Fourth of July, and tan
days later the French celebrate the
ran OF the Bastille, and so It goes, the
British celebrating the birthday of
their king. the Italians the entry into
kome Of the troops Of united Italy. the
Germans the birthday of the kaiser.
ne Swiss the day of the formation of
me confederation. The Spanish cele-
rate the birthday Of their king. and

The attention Of parents is called to
the fact that the Cuticura Remedies
were used on one month old baby
with complete success, proving what we
have always claimed that these great
curatives are so pure, so sweet, and so
delicately medicated that they may be
used on the youngest infants.
