Mrs. Spider cleans House.

Like all careful housekeepers, Mrs
Spider has her cleaning days, but un-
like other careful housekeepers, she
wears her fine clothes when she
works.
Maybe you have seen her all rugged
out In her yellow and black velvet
gown, sweeping and busting her web,
but Just remember she Is not ae ex-
tlayagant as she seems. Clothes new
er bother her. She doesn't have to
go to a dressmaker when she needs a
new gown. She has only to step out
Of her old one, and 10! Just under Il
is fresh one all ready made, and a.
perfect fit!
No, Mrs. Spider is not extravaganza
She is very economical, in fact; for
instead OF throwing aside her old
dresses she rolls them into bah and
eats them.
There are no old-clothes men in the
spider world
Well, to tell about Mrs. Spiders
house-cleaning. She has neither
brushes nor brooms nor busters; SO
she begins her work by raising one
of her eight claws and giving her
house a shake which reaches every
corner. She is careful, however, not
to injure It, but she makes the dust
fly. When this is done TO her satis-
faction, she looks her web over, first
from the top, then from the bottom,
and then from both sides. II the
walls sag. or are the least bit broken,
she rolls them into a ball and eats
them, just as she does her old clothes.
Then she replaces them by new ones.
When everything Is In thorough
order, she sits down for a rest and TO
make her own toilet
AS her whole body and legs have a
rough, hairy covering she needs quite
little time to fix herself properly
In her handles, or Jaws. are the
teeth with which she combs her hair.
and her claws serve as brushes for
the other parts OF her body.
After a careful dressing she Is
ready for dinner. and woe to the dy
or other luckless insect which Is
caught In her webb
she spends much OF her time eat
ing, and all her food goes into the
back part Of her body. which, You
know, looks just like soft, round
ball. Here II Is changed into a sticky
syrup. This is the material OF which
her web Is made. 1t Is forced through
her spinnerets. the tiny knots at the
back Of her body, and hardens into a
thread when Il comes il contact with
the air.
As the web Is IN constant need ~
repairing, great deal Of material is
required. and Mrs. Spider must eat
much and often
She win neither make nor mend

An unuuallfed story.

An African hunter once found o
large crocodile hanging in the fork
of tree about ten feet from the
ground. AS the place was fully half
a mile from any water, it was difhcult
to account for the crocodile's strange
position. When questioned upon the
subject, the natives explained that It
was put there by an elephant. II
seems that when the elephants wade
into the Lake Ngami to battle the
crocodiles are in the habit OF worry
ing them and biting their legs. Some
times, when an elephant is annoyed
beyond endurance, 1t picks up Its tor
mentor in its trunk, puts 1t among the
branches of tree and leaves 1t there.

But he did not pass overhead; and the

Never shall forget those few ter

which he wrenched his head from side

strong jaws from those entangling
folds, and my life was not worth a
picayune.
His hoofs beat a mad tattoo upon
the floor. His gnashing teeth spatter-
ed me with foam-hecks as he champed
and tore at the stout hemp. Its wind

his muscles suddenly relaxed, and his
head dropped forward. The stupor had
come on again; l should never have

ends of the hammock, l pulled out my
penknife, ran my fingers along vein

Potato Billiard Balls.

Many persons will be surprised to
learn that the potato is used in
France in the manufacture of imi-
tation meerschaum pipes and Omar
Bile" billiard balls. After the pota-
toes are peeled they are kept for
thirty-six hours in an 8 per cent so
luton of sulphuric acid They are
then dried and pressed hard enough
for use in making pipes. Under
strong pressure they become solid
enough to be turned into billiard
tails.

The White Plague
Among the Sioux.

49,
The great Sioux tribe, the most
puissant of the American abort
gines, is whitening to extinction
with tuberculosis at the agencies
along the Missouri.
There are about twenty FIVE
thousand of these people making
fair progress in civilization; living
in houses; wearing citizens cloth
ing; the children being educated;
the families generally protesting
Christianity; the able bodied en-
gagged in some form of manual
labor, by which they earn the
means of subsistence.
The alarming extent of this
dreadful infection prevailing
among them cannot be overstated.
Hardly a home where it has not
found victims, and hardly a home
where it does not still exist in
some form. The disease is usu-
ally quick in its deadly mission.
A man, apparently healthful,
leaves his work and goes to his
trader and orders a suit of grave
clothes. Il have the sickness, J"
he says. He is measured for the
suit, and by the time it is finished
the buyer is often ready to wear it
through the long sleep. The
mother ana the grown-up son or
daughter are likely to share SINH
lar fate. Under such conditions
and in such environment, it will
readily be understood that an at
mosphere of gloom and depression
abounds, paralizing TO ambition
and to farther characterization

Such Proof as This Should
Convince Any Brownsville Citi-
zen.
The public endorsement of a
local citizen is the best proof that
can be produced. None better,
none stronger can be had. When
man comes forward and testi6es
to his fellow-citizens, addresses
his friends and neighbors you may
be sure he is thoroughly convinced
or he would not do so. Telling
ones experience when it is for the
public good is an act of kindness
that should be appreciated. The

more to the many cases of Home
