OUR TROUBLES.
They Are of Three General Kinds
 and There Is a Remedy.

They Are of Three General KinAs, and There Is . Remedy.
 Troubles are of three different kinds:
 The troubles you have had.
 The troubles you have.
 The troubles you are looking for.
 The first of these three kinds or trouble will not press heavily upon the philosophical mind It Is a closed incident, and on the principle that pains and perils through which we have come to safety are negatively pleasant memories, we ought to ex- tract the semblance of happiness from the troubles we have had and dis posed of.
 Remorseful dwelling on what Is done forever Is a mistake of fools.
 The common sense of the situation resides only in casting out of mind the regrettable act of circumstance and turning to the present with a deter mined spirit that will fight for It's own for the right to happiness now and here, in this tangible instant that we call time present.
 AS lO lhC bCCOnu CldbS, NutIt lS d LuCL in nature to the point The nettle is armed with the most penetrating of needle pointed thorns, but they are formidable only to the timid and hesi- tating Approach the plant without ap- prehensiveness of trouble" seize 1t boldly and defiantly with a strong clutch, and the prickers that draw blood on the weak kneed or the weak handed will take on a velvety caress.
 The lesson Is obvious. The trouble that Is now trying to swamp you will loosen Its hold on your spirit and take to it's heels if you but turn on 1t. "The eye of childhood ever fears a pointed devil" The very devil himself cun- nlngly contrives not to materialize.
 The trouble you are looking for need not dismay you. If you go out in the morning resolved on finding 1t, even if you have to fight for it, the likelihood is that some time during the day 1t will take on a form that you will rec ognize.
 But that will be largely your own lookout. There are men that resent in- suit before it is offered. You will met aphorically see them suspiciously and belligerently peeking around a corner to discover who it Is that Is presently to come along and offer some indig- nifty.
 A sense of personal injury has pos sesion of them, though if you appeal to them for a reason or for a fact or an act in support of their indictment to somebody-anybody-they are neces- sarily dumb. The whole thing is but a monstrous birth of their imagination.
 The trouble you are looking for will never trouble you if you stop looking for it.-Exchange.

Grasa Snakes.

The somewhat natural prejudice which exists against vipers Is extend ed, unfortunately-thoug not, perhaps, unnaturally-to everything resembling a snake, and on this account the com mon grass snake is often needlessly destroyed. It is perfectly harmless and in its fresh grayish green skin is quite unmistakable, yet if suddenly encountered in hedgerow or issuing from a ditch death Is generally its DOT tion. The way in which, on its own account, 1t deals death to frogs is somewhat awful in the denouement. The victim, seeming to realize the hopelessness of any attempt to es- cape, becomes literally paralyzed with fright and, leaping with enfeebled power, Is soon seized by a hinder leg and drawn into the jaws of the enemy. The adder's method of feeding Is simi- lar, but death Is more speedy from the wound inflicted by its tubular teeth. The grass snake altogether lacks these teeth and swallows its prey alive. A frog has been heard to scream after being entombed.-London Times.

Monster Spider CraI,s.

"I have collected specimens of crabs all parts of the world" said a nat rslist, Out I shall never forget the easure I experienced in securing a OnstrOus specimen of the Japanese pider crab, the largest ever found he combined length of the feeding lms of this monster was more than 'Yelve feet while the body portion as about twenty inches across. When I've, 1t weighed about seventy-hve ,unds. One of the oldest things bout these creatures Is their ability
 assume a disguise. This feat they e able to perform owing to the fiexl- lty of their pinchers and to the loked hairs and spines with which eir numerous arms are studded. By bans of their pinchers they tear off ball fragments of sponges and sea Feds. After first putting these to bir months, which contain q glutinous iva, they place them on the sur ce of their limbs and bodies by
 cking them fast with a rubbing
 vement. By this method the crab eceeds in completely changing it's pearance and rendering itself indls-
 guishable from the materials com Tn to the bottom of the sea. While wiling along 1t seems as though a
 ftiOn of the ocean bed was in mo-
 D, so close Is the resemblance"

A Noted Basso,s Eeotism.

Once In London were four great oassos singing at the same time, La blache, Marini, Staudigl and Karl Formes. Fashionable opinion was un- decided as to which of the four was the greatest, and finally the members of leading club determined to have the quartet of singers interviewed sep arately by one of the members to find out to whom each of the singers awarded the palm of being the great est basso then In London.
 Staudigl answered promptly and truthfully, "Lablache is the best"
 Marini replied, 'T will not say who is the first basso, but I am sure La blache is the second"
 Lablache modestly responded, "If Staudigl were not here, I certainly would claim the lead"
 Formes without hesitation instantly said, "The greatest basso, sir-that's noe, Karl Formes."
