If your blood is impoverished
your doctor will tell you what

Spiders live in Families.

Spiders are not always solitary
creatures. A scientist has lately found
in southern India a species of spider
that builds spongy nests with out
lying webs, each nest being occupied
by 40 to 100 spiders, with a large
excess of females; sometimes FIVE or
six nests are clustered together. The
spiders not only live and work to-
gether, but they share with one an
other any prey that may be captured,
and some even show maternal affec-
ton approaching selfsacrifice.

simpIe Precautions Enounh.

In a recent article in a German paper,
Herr Paul Speier shows that the spon-
taneous ignition of zinc dust is out
of the question when the material is
properly packed. Wetting of the ma
terial is also without danger. Igni-
ton and explosion can only occur in
the presence of air. The matter is of
some Importance, inasmuch as steam
ship owners sometimes refuse 10
transport this material, and fire un(
derwriters have stringent regulations
with respect to it.

Ronesteel. S. d.. Nov. Sword has
just been received here that the jury
ilnpaneled by the county coroner to in
quire into the cause Of the death of
Charles b. Cornell. Il homesteader liv-
ing near Gregory, returned n verdict
that the man came to his death by en-
posture in the blizzard of last Thursday.
Cornell took his children to school in
the morning of the day of the storm
and not returning at night a searching
party was organized and he was found
the next morning frozen to death in
the snow. lying directly behind the
horses which had been compelled to
standall day and night in the storm, the
reins being entangled in the wheels of
the wagon - that they could not move.
The mans hands were clasped across
his breast as though he suffered great
pain before death and 1t is thought that
one of the horses kicked him while he
was trying to fix a broken vhiffietree,
and that he was injured SO that he was
unable to rise and seek shelter from
the storm.
