According to Mr.. Bruce, the dark
continent produces spider which, ut
maturity. is the size of q Maltese cat,
and weaves q web of strands as large
as broom twine These spiders, he
declares, are easily domesticated, and
are fairly intelligent, The natives
have utilized the webs for fshing
seines. A letter from an African sci.
enlist says that the spiders can be
raised as incuhators.
"A stock company is to be formed to
carry on the industry. and an option
has been obtained on 5,000.acrc
farm. where the spiders viii bo
housed upon their arrival.
As u by-product the eggs of the
clephantinc insects will be sold for

PRoWHIsKERs CLUB FORMED.


Harrisburg, Neb.--A number OF
young society women OF this western
Nebraska town have formed pro.
whiskers society and have signed an
agreement which binds them solemn.
ly to discourage attentions from
young, middle aged or old men who do
not wear boards and not under any
circumstances 10 marry men of any
age who do not wear full boards.
They read newspaper story ro.
Gently to the effect that the girls of
another town had agreed not to per.
init men who wore boards to pay
court TO them. The Harrisburg girls
say that their sisters In the other
town have assumed a wrong attitude
toward the whiskers question and that
.hey themselves have taken the cor
rect and patriotic stand.
They maintain stoutly that men
with whiskers are handsomer and
every way more acceptable as lovers,
husbands and fathers than are men
without them: that In earlier times It
was almost the universal custom In
this country Tor men to wear full
boards and that such boards were
then rcgardcd as genuine ornaments
but that through rIdlcule the good old
custom has been made obsolete.
