It Gave the Hungry Preacher an APP
petite For Dinner
Before accepting an invitation it is
as we'll to be sure it IS given IN good
faith. After an afternoon service held
many years ago in certain village IN
Scotland the preacher, stranger, who
had of6ciatcd. accompanied one of the
elders OF the congregation home and
was introduced to his wife. The good
man having asked the clergyman to
stay to dinneE, the latter. after little
pressing. consented
The good lady hurried off to prepare
for the unexpected guest. and. seeing,
us she thought. her husband washing,
as was the custom in those days, at
the family sink, she seized the family
Bible. approached stealthily from be-
hind and brought down the ponderous
tome upon his bald pate. exclaiming:
TAX ye that for bringing hungry
preachers here to dinner every time
they come to the parish"
AS soon as the assaulted one could
get the suds out Of his eyes be looked
bout him and, after thinking the mat.

had made slight mistake. She, too
came to the same conclusion when, oa

Artificial Teeth.

It IS certain that the anctents had q
knowledge Of dentistry, but it is diff
ficult to determine when or by whom
the use Of artificial teeth was intro
duced. Herodotus says that the Egyp-
tans had dentists for the teeth" In
the British museum there are various
dental instruments which had been
found in the ruins Of Pompeii. and
Galen in the second century describes
the method Of extracting teeth by
means Of forceps. Belzoni says that
artificial teeth were,in use in antiquity,
since he found some. specimens in the
catacombs.
Modern dentistry admits that the
first to teach how to make artificial
teeth was the Arabian Albucasis, and
in his work AL Tariff" are drawings
Of instruments used for this purpose.
The earliest known allusion to arth-
cial teeth is by Martialis in the first
century:
You use without a blush false teeth and
hair,
But, Laelia. your squint!s past repair.

A BURMESE RAT TRAP.
The Rodents Will Eagerly Enter 1t and
N,,,o4 Get Ont

no noCGftLS fsh' -eSS''|
Cannot Get Out.
Rats may readily be induced to jump
or drop into any receptacle. especially
If it affords them adequate conceal
ment. and they do this without one lin
gering suspicion Of their inability to
reach the only existing outlet when the
time for retreat approaches.
Thus traps on this principle may
readily be designed and are obviously
preferable to our rat traps where the
animals are numerous.
In Burma, where the rats are a per-
feet pest. they use Il jar trap. which is
thus described by traveller:
'1The common Pegu jar used was
about one and half or two feet deep
and fourteen or fifteen inches broad.
and hole was punched in the shoulder
just large enough for rat to enter.
There was about six or seven inches
Of paddy {rice in husl) in the jac,
which was then buried to within about
eight inches Of the top. The mouth of
the jar was then closed with board
and stone.
"a quantity Of old timber joists and
straw were in the outhouse and no end
Of rat holes everywhere around
With this contrivance he caught sew.
enty-two rats in one night. The rats
can readily enter, but they cannot
climb the smooth sides Of the jar to
escape.-London Family Herald.

A PECULIAR SPIDER.
He Catches Birds as Big as Larks !
His Mammoth Web.

He Catches Birds as Big as Larks In
His Mammoth Web.
Far up in the mountains Of Ceylon
there IS q s9ider that spins web like
bright ycllowish silk, the central net
of which is five feet in diameter, while
the supporting lines. OF guys. as they
are called. measure sometimes ten or
twelve feet, and, riding quickly in the
early morning, YOU may dash right
into it, the stout threads twining round
your face like 4 lace veil, while, as the
creature that has woven it takes up
his position In the middle, be generally
catches you right in the nose, and,
though he seldom bites or stings, the
contact of his large body and long legs
is anything but pleasant. If you for
get yourself and try to catch him, bite
he will. and, though not venomous,
his jaws are as powerful as birds
beak, and you are not likely to forget
the encounter.
The bodies Of these spiders are very
handsomely decorated, being bright
gold or scarlet underneath, while the
upper part is covered with the most
delicate slate colored fur. So strong
are the webs that birds the size Of
larks are frequently caught therein,
and even the small but powerful scaly
lizard falls a victim. A writer says
that he has often sat and watched the
yellow monster = measuring, when
waiting for his prey, with his legs
stretched out, fully six inches-striding
across the middle Of the net and noted
the rapid manner in which he winds
his stout threads round the unfortu-
nate captive.
He usually throws the coils about
the head until the wretched victim is
first blinded and then choked. In
many unfrequented dark hooks OF the
jungle you come across most perfect
skeletons Of small birds caught in
these terrible snareS.
