the reputation of being visionary and

When the second joint is thin and

enough. y clustering. harmless fellow
they call "a paper tiger" When a
man values himself overmuch they
compare him to "a rat falling into a
scale and weighing itself" OVERRIDING

bow" spendthrift they compare

A FLY IN A WEB.
The Way n Tiny Spider Imprisoned
His Big Victim.

The Way u Tiny Spider Imprisoned
His Big Victim.
zone morning when busy in my
workshop" says Il naturalist. "a large
fly. double the size of n bluebottle, was
caught in n SPIDERS web in the win
dow close to where / was at work. 1t
was held by two of its legs only. and
for some time the spider, which was
about the size of the fly's head, pro-
ceeded to strengthen its hold by at
taching numerous extra lines to the
two captive limbs. carefully keeping
out of reach of the others. which were
letting out in all directions in frantic
efforts to escape.
During n short respite in the cap
tive's struggles the spider cautiously
approached and with its hind legs got
several turns of its tiny rope round
one of the limbs that were free. These
tactics were carried on till all the legs
were firmly bound. 1t then injected
poison into one of the legs. This soon
showed itself, for its deadening effects
reduced the victims struggles in
marked degree. The poison paralyZes.
but does not kill.
shortly after a second bite resist
ance ceased. and the victor settled
down to suck the juices of its fallen
prey. The struggles lasted quite an
hour. Next morning the fly was alive.
and the spider was still sucking out its
lifeblood. "-Chicago News.

The Missing Note.

One of the leading tenors in Moscow
was called upon to sing an opera in
which one note was much too high fol
him. but he got man in the orchestra
to come in just at the right time and
supply the note In exchange the

plan answered well. the applause was
loud. but the tenor forgot all about the
supper. Next time he sang the opera
he went to the front of the stage. put
his hand on his heart and opened his
mouth as wide as he could. His dis
comfiture was great when the expect

the orchestra saying. where's my sup

PIANO TUNER FINED.

Several weeks ago an individual who
gave his name as Fritz Katzepgamer and
who said he was a pianO-tunor, appeared
in this city. His habits have not com
mended him to the confidence of mos
people he has met, and on one occasion
a resident of north Fairfax street com
planned at the station house that hi
business relations with the man were
not satisfactory. Yesterday Kaizengamel
entered a saloon in the western section
of the city and ordered a bottle of beer
After drinking the beverage he acknowl
eyed he was unable to pay for the same.
Officer Beach arrested the delinquent
and he was fined 50 in the Police Cour

GOT AWAY WITH THE TIES.

During the past week or ten days the
bsrCe Norfolk has been loading ties at a
wharf between King and Prince streets,
and having taken on full cargo the
ocean-goiDg tugboat Margaret arrived at
this port from Baltimore Tues lay after
noon for the purpose OF towing the barge
TO New York. Yesterday morning,
however. several attachments were made
on the cargo, and the barge was not al
lowed to leave. All the attachments
save two were satisfied during The day,
and Joseph Mitchell, cOlOred, of this
CITY. was placed aboard the barge as
Waterman with orders to keep on the
alert and prevent the barge from leaving
until all claims had been settled. About
two o clock this morning, according to
MitchelPs statement, be was Oyerpowel-
ed by the crew of the barge and driven
ashore, and the tugbost, which had got
len on steam during the nigh, pulled
the barge into the stream and started
down the river. Mitchell says he made
four unsuccessful attempts to get in COM
municatioA with the station house. City
Sergeant Cox this morning swore out a
warrant against the captain OF the barge
aud telegrsphed to the sheriff OF Princess
Anne county to intercept the boat at Cape
Henry. II is alleged that the owners OF
the pier where the barge took on the
