How tho Young Insects Sail Away

In early autumn the spider families
separate. Hundreds of thousands of
infantile spiders on warm sunny
morning scale the low bushes, cling to
the tips Of the leaves an, project slen-
der silken threads from the spinnerets
at the ends of their bodies. Before
very long the air near the ground, be-
coming heated, ascends and carries up
the silken threads with 1t. Still the
little creatures hold on and pour out
silk till each has some eight or ten
feet of line rising almost perpendicu-
larry into the air above it
At last they let go and rise into the
air themselves. each at the extremity
of Its own thread. In this way they
are carried upward, perhaps for many
hundreds Of feet, till at last they meet
n current of air moving slowly along,
and by this they are carried often for
many miles, while they can always
descend at will by the simple expe-
dent Of rolling up their supporting
threads.
On warm autumn morning the air
is often filed with these baby spiders.

The Nickname.

The public man in America who has
never been tagged with nickname
may be just as efficient and worthy Of
praise as his brethren who are known
as "Bill' and Joe" but he has not
achieved an equal measure of popular
ity. Mechanics are oftener inspired by
affection than by aversion. THE men
Of the people" so called, are invari-
ably nicknamed. Venerable citizens
still refer to Abe" Lincoln, dwelling
with reminiscent affection upon the alb
breviation. Nicknames both good and
bad are as old as history. In this coun-
try the people have way Of abbrevi-
ating the names of the men they really
like and assigning their full titles to
the men who prefer dignity to popular
ity.-Pittsburg Gazette.

YOUR OWN FACE.
Would You Recognize 1t II You saw
1t on Another:


"How curious it is" said the philos-
opher, chat the person for whom you
care most on earth, the one you see
oftenest and who receives your most
constant attention, is the one whose
Countenance is least familiar to you"
"Who is that?' asked the visitor.
Yourself" said the philosopher. ut
is fact that If people could be dupli-
Gated and could meet themselves in the
street very few would recognize them
selves. We look at ourselves many
times during the 365 days Of the year.
We say our eyes are blue or brown or
whatever other color they may be, our
hair black, our chin peaked, our fore
head high. We know every lineament
Of our face from constant study and
attention, yet when we turn away
q picture of ourselves.
I'VE know just how our friends and
even acquaintances look. In fancy we
can see them sitting SO or standing so,
and their varying expressions under
different circumstances are clear to us
even though we may not have seen
them for years, but when it comes to
ourselves we cannot fill in even the
outlines of the picture. We may laugh
we may cry, we may frown, but we do
not know how we look while we are
doing it. Photographs do not help us
We have never seen ourselves in the
flesh. Mirrors and pictures are poor
aids when we sit down and try to see
| ourselves with the minds eye.
THAT is why people are SO deeply
interested In anybody who Is said to
resemble them. Just say to man
4 know somebody who is the dead i'm
age OF you and he will never rest til
he sees that person. Then if the like
ness is really true he will own thai
up to that time he had had no concep
ton of how he really looked"
The visitor smiled wanly.
Il wish you wouldn't talk like that,
she said. 1T makes me feel positiv ely
