British Fishermen. RaIk at the Name

Of Graham.
One of the most curious Of British
fishermen's supersfitions, the one which
perhaps to this day has the strongest
hold upon them, is that connected with
the name Of Graham. No fisherman
will go to sea If he has heard this
name mentioned, nor will he dc any
manner of work upon that day. lie
will refuse to sail in a boat with any
one bearing the name, and a house
painter from Newcastle called Ora
ham, who had been sent to do some
work in one Of the large houses, found
his life made so unbearable by the vii
layers that he incontinently returned
to the town, leaving his work uncom-
pleted. The women who bait the lines
in the winter will unbait every hook
and rebait the whole length--the labor
of hours-if they hear it mentioned A
local tpadesman bearing this unfortu-
nate patronymic is never referred to
save as Puff" another an innkeeper,
is known as Lucky Bits" No ration
al explanation is to be found. On one
of the most intelligent fishermen being
questioned on the subject he laughed
the idea to scorn. Why, his daughter
was married to a Graham. But, he
added, a strange thing happened two
years ago when he was off at the her
ring fishing and had not been home
for some weeks. Having received q
letter at Shields to say that his son-in-
law was Ill. he hailed passing boat

HABITS OF SPIDERS.
"Do These Insects Sleep7" Is Not an
Easy Question to Answer.

"Do These Insects Sleepf" Is Not an
Easy Question to Answer.
The question. do spiders sleep at
night:" Ia not easy to answer. have
made a careful observation Of the sleep
Of ants. and that could readily be done
by watching colonies in their artificial
formlcaries. 1t Is almost impossible
to deal with spiders in the same way.
l would answer. however. In general
terms that spiders sleep, as all animals
do, and doubtless parts of the night
are spent in slumber. Many species,
however, prey ON the night flying in
sects. and so must be awake In order
to catch their prey. If you will watch
the porch or outbuildings Of your home
on summer evening you will be likely
to see an orb weaving spider drop
slowly down ON a single thread in the
gathering dusk Of the evening. From
this beginning a round web will soon
be spun, and either hanging at the
center thereof or In little nest above
and at one side Is the architect, with
forefeet clasping what we call the
trap line" and waiting for some night
flying insect to strike the snare In
this position spiders will sometimes
wait for hours, and It is just possible
that they may then take little nap.
They might easily do that and yet not
lose their game, for the agitation Of the
web would rouse the sleeper, and then
it would run down the trap line and Sc
cure its prey. Some species of spiders
do the chief part Of their hunting. at
night, and there are some who chiefly
hunt during the day; but, as rule,
these Industrious animals work both
day ard night.-St. Nicholas.
