SPIDER PERSISTENCE.
Patience and Skill That Tho lnaoet pia
plays at Times.

One who has been especially OBJ
servant of spiders habits writes
"To learn the aeronautic intelli-
gence of the spider, fasten pole III
pool of water, leaving few feet
of the pole above the surface, and
put spider upon it. Watch opera
tions and you will see him spin Il
web several inches long and hang to
one end while the other blows off
into space in the hope that some OBJ
ject may be struck whereby he may
gain his freedom. This plan prov
ing failure, he patiently waits unit.
the wind changes and then sends an
other silken bridge floating off in
another direction. Failure after
failure may be the result, but the
spider still keeps on until all points
of the compass have been tried,
when he proceeds to work along diff
ferent lines. He climbs to the top
of the pole and begins to build q
silken balloon, and, although pos
sessing no hot air with which to in
tlate it, he is able to make it buoy
ant. After finishing the balloon he
fastens it to guy rope, the other
end of which he attaches to the is
land pole from which he wishes to
escape. He then gets into his aerial
vehicle and makes it fast while he
proceeds to test it to see whether
it is capable of bearing him away.
If it is not and he is dissatisfied with
it on account Of its being too small
he will tear it down, take it apart
and construct another on larger
and better scale. Sometimes a spider
has been seen to make three or four
different balloons before he was sat
isfed with his experiment. Then he
will get in, snap his guy rope and
sail away to land and freedom"

The Abbe's Retort.

A good story is told of Mgr. Milo
land, the predecessor Of Cardinal
Desprez in the archbishopric of Tou-
lonse. He was passing one day
through the pig market when man
shouted at him, "There are only
priests and pigs in this place" The
abbe, as he then was, stopped and
said to the man, 'fMy friend, are you
priest?" 'Not l." returned the
other. 'Then," said the abbe, tyou
naturally are the other thing."-

rertoi.e. and Eresh w...r.

Tortoises in tropical islands re
quire much fresh water for drinking
and have often discovered springs
of which the human inhabitants
were ignorant. When such foun-
tain is found the whole surrounding
district is soon covered by "tortoise
roads" made by these large crea-
lures In their journeys to and from
the water. The springs sometimes
flow from volcanic rocks ut great
elevation, but the tortoises general
ly discover them.

"We1,, why don't you write it in

Dog Fur In Manchuria.

One of the leading industries of
Manchuria is the breeding of dogs
for the sake of the skins, the breed
cultivated being remarkable for the
length and fine quality Of the hair.
There are thousands of dog farms,
Keeping from score to several hun
dred dogs each. The animals arc
strangled in midwinter that the furs
may be got in the best condition,
but they must be at least eight
months old. Eight dogs are required

HEADACHES.
They Are Caused by Nerves, Eye Strain
and Blood Poisons.

and Blood Poisons.
A physician writes: "There are
three main causes Of headache, and
the first Of these has to do with the
nervous system. A headache is, ev-
erybody will acknowledge, very
natural result of nerve strain. In
the hurry and hustle and strain and
stress of life today our poor nervous
systems have no chance, no moment
of rest and inaction from the time
we arise in the morning till we go TO
bed at night. The pursuit of pleas
ure, the scurrying ceaselessly from
one place to another in search Of
amusement, the fact that certain
class of people find life bore unless
they are in a whirl of excitement
will often account for the fashiona
Bile headache, the headache of the
'overworked' society woman. Work,
properly SO called, will never pro-
duce headache. 1t is one of the
best preventives of headache. Anx-
iety and incessant worrying over tri-
fes will certainly cause the headache
Of overstrain, as any harassed, anx-
ious and .worrit' household head of
a large family will testify to. The
headache of anaema, common
enough among young girls of low Vi
tality, is due to a nervous system i'll
nourished, with impoverished blood.
Many obscure neuralgias have thus u
very simple explanation.
"The second great cause of head
ache is eye strain. Many man who
is suffering from eye strain assures
his doctor that his eyes are certainly
not at fault, as he has splendid
sight 1t is not his nerves Of sight
which are affected, but the nerve
and minute muscle of accommoda-
ton which he is constantly and un-
consciously fatiguing in order to
make his sight as good as he believes
it to be. The error is in the shape
of the eye, which requires continual
muscular strain to rectify, and prop
er glasees would Immediately remove
the need for this continual strain.
This form of headache follows close
eye work, such as reading, writing
or sewing. 1t is worse at night and
is practically absent In the morning,
differing from other forms of head
ache. It may be taken for granted
that headache present in the morn
ing is not due entirely if at all to
eye strain. All sufferers from head
ache should have their eyes exam
ined by an oculist.
"a very large number Of head
aches come under the third cate
gory-namely, headaches due to
poisons in the blood. The 'throb-
bing headache is often caused by
what medical men call over blood
pressure or too high blood pressure
due to impurities or toxins circulat-
ing in the blood. They generally
arise from disorders of digestion in
the stomach and bowels from inn
proper diet; the overeating Of meat
and rich dishes, imperfect mastica-
ton, foul teeth and lack of exer-
else. Relief will not be permanent
SO long as new toxins are being pro-
duced-that is, SO long as we persist
in overeating rich dishes and neg
lecting the rules of health"

 ttrs who are supporting the bill. and
 members of the interstate commerce
 commission The senator said he would oppose the amendment on the floor of the senate. and he expressed the opinion that not half a do n of his democratic colleagues would vote for il.

 The senator added that he would nfofer to vote for the house biil as ii s'ards than to accept the amendmen. for the pending measure gives the right to review where constitut;oonl questions are involved.

1 his evening they will be the guests ci honor at the dinner given in honor
 of the gGyernor-general of Canada at the WaldorfAstora by the Pilgrims. H. the absence of Bishop Potter, Nor rls K. JeSsup, one of the vice presi-
 cents of the Pilgrims, will preside at the dinner.
 The dinner will be remarkable for mere than one reason. It will be the
 first entertainment of that nature which Earl Grey has attended either in Canada or the United States since he has been appointed governor-gen- eral. Another fact which tends to make the dinner memorable is that on that occasion the first public an nouncement of the final settlement of ali disputes between the Dominion and the United States will be made in an address by Secretary of State Elihu Root.
 Among the questions as issue which have been brought to a satisfactory settlement are the protection of the fisheries in internatioal waters, in. cludng the Great Lakes and the St. Lawrence, the fur seal fisheries dis pute, the protection of the Niagara Falls and regulation of the water to be taken for power, the Newfound- ! land fisheries and several minor boundary disputes.
 Besides Earl Grey and Secretary Root, there will be several other dis l spe@1Ars. among them Governor Higgins of New York, form. CT Ambassadors Choate and Porter. and probably Sir Mortimer Durand l the British ambassador.

HEARST'S HOPE IS HIGH.
Thinks Democracy Progresses Away
 From Old Influences,

Chicago, April Az am in no sense a candidate"
 With these words William Ran. dolph Hearst, who arrived in Chicago yesterday met in inquiry concerning presidential timber and issues for the campaign of 1908. Although at first unwilling to comment upon the topic. as being an event too far in the f,l- ture, he at length denied any designs upon the democratic nomination,
 Mir. Hearst followed up this decla. ration in the following manner:
 "[n the last campaign there was an obvious disposition on the part of what shall I call them-of the cor poratiOn democrats to secure control of the party, and they put up a reac. tionary candidate. 1 was interested in opposing this movement. and got into the fight personally. But do not think that this reactionarv. fhi. republican element in democracy. has any chance of controlIino= the rarty in the future It was severely rebuked in the last presidential eloc. ton; it has been rebuked whenever fl showed it's head-or it's hands-since that time
 Thinks Party Proare ssive.
 Il think that the democratic party IS in progressive frame of mind and that it is disposed to take moro or less radical and sincere steps toward the remedy of public evils. jmaain4= however, that there vii! be no lack of candidates for the next nomina.5 ton, ands-this with a smile that do- veloped into a laueh-'I will moi ,,a dragged from my-privacv-+o fake rart ill the competition.
 After MT. Hearst had enjoyed his Joke, and the twinkle had died ouf of his eyes, he continued:
 But 1 wish to make it clear that I am not renouncing politics. am very much interested in this progressive democracy of which I spoke. shall ] continue to use my papers, and what. ever influence possess. on itsZbe. half. shall do so all the moro on. thausiastically because We have been encouraged with big successes.,'
 AS for rppDl1ioa, Hearst contented himself with the expression of belief that President Roosevelt would run for d third term T should not be surprised if Roose. velt were the republican candidate. i he remarked. "All indications point in this direction.
 Message Gives Him Clew.
 Then his grave. almost meditatiye, | tones began to take on a elint of [ mrth, and he went on: When a E man writes message of 2S.0O0 [ words, carefully trying all the while [ not to offend any individuals or in. terests, it looks very suspicious. doesn't it?'
 And again Mir. Hearst had his quiet laugh. His sense of humor is never dormant, but crops out genuinely and unobtrusively even in the considera- tion of such themes as municipal own. ership, or the evils of corporations. over which some propagandists, whose convictions are not more deep seated and radioo1 tJ,op J;c oro ,.op+

Women Should Laugh.

Women laugh too little, says Il
writer. Whether this is due to their
lack of humor or to childhood's train
ing in gentle manners may be ques-
toned. Certain it is that hearty
laugh in a wOman's voice is rare
music. An audience of women rustles
with amusement, but seldom laughs.
A group of girls giggle, but do not
laugh. A woman reading the most
brilliantly humorous story seldom gets
beyond a smile When Sir Walter
Besant, in his clever skit, THE Revolt
of Man, pictured the time in the
twentieth century when women should
have usurped all power-politicai, &C.
clesiastical and social-he shrewdly
noted that laughter had died out of
England; and when men revolted
against their feminine tyrants they
came back to their own with peals III
laughter. A Paris doctor has recently
opened place for the laughter cure.
1t is private institution, and large
fees are charged. The patients sit
around a room, and a given moment
begin to smile ut each other. The
smile broadens to Il grin, and at a sig
nal to peal of laughter. Two hours
a day of this healthful exercise is said
to cure the worst cases of dyspepsia.
But whether the habit of laughing
easily and naturally could be acquired
by this process is doubtful.
