NOT PLEASED WITH EAST.

J. S. Harding. who went to Virginia
some weeks ago with the intention
of purchasing some land and move
to the state to make his home return
ed home Saturday evening. While
Mr.. Harding was favorably impressed
with the climate and the hospitality
of the people in that state, he found
that the soil had been allowed TO de-
terrioate and it would take three or
four years before a farm could be
put in shape to raiSe what would be
to feed what stock a mar
would need. In fact, Mr.. Harding says
that the general appearance of the
country would give n the impress
sion that it had never full recovered
from the effects of the war, as it
will be remembered that the fighting
was very severe near st. Petersburg
and Richmond. Mr.. Harding now
thinks he will buy a small farm in
the timber country of Minnesota, prob
ably near Princeton, and left for that
place Tuesday evening.-Volga TIL

The pains of rheumatism are
almost invariably relieved with
DR.. Miles Anti-Pain Pills. They
also overcome that nervous irri-
tation which prevents sleep be-
cause they soothc the nerves. To
chronic suffers they are invalu-
able. When taken as directed,
they relieve the distress and
save the weakening influence of
pain, which so frequently pros
trates. Many sufferers use them
whenever occasion requires with
the greatest satisfaction, why
not you? They do not derange
the stomach nor create a habit.
Why not try them: Get a pack

according TO directions, and if
it does not benefit he will return

WEB OF MADAGASCAR SPIDER
Its Great Strength Shown by an In
teresting Experiment in
Weaving.

1t is interesting to know the prac.
teal uses to which the webs of large
Madagascar spider might be applied
to replace silk for woven fabrics"
said Fisher S. Williams of London,
who is interested in the manufacture
of silk.
Il know from visits to the interior
OF Madagascar that the webs spun
many feet across the walks or shady
avenues of gardens are sufficiently
strong to hang thereon a light bam-
boo walking cane. At the Paris ex-
position of 1900 whole piece of fab
ric Is yards long and IS inches wide
was exhibited which was woven out
Of this web, for which It was neces-
sary to provide 100000 yards of spun
thread of "a strands.
For its manufacture rs, 900 spiders
had to be brought into requisition, and
these were procured by offering the
natives so much hundred; but not
knowing or ignoring the purposes Tor
which the insects were required and
having a get-rich-quick desire they
brought them in by basketfuls, mostly
dead. 1t was found necessary for the
winding off machines to go to the
spiders instead of calling in the
spiders to the filatories. However the
piece of cloth was completed and was
of shimmering golden yellow color.
THE idea of obtaining silk from the
spider is an old one, as distinguished
men in France discoursed on the SUBJ
jet as long ago as 1910, but the first
study of this Madagascar spider came
up some ten years ago, and the spin
ming Of its web was then undertaken.
1t Is only the female that spins. The
first difficulty in obtaining the thread
direct from the insect consisted in
contriving how to secure the living
spider so as to wind 1t off by some
mechanical process from the insect.
This was originally performed by con-
lining spiders in empty match boxes.
with the abdomen protruding. The
extraction of the web does not ap-
parendy inconvenience the insect, al.
though care has to be taken not to in

To begin with this is a manufacture

Europe, had given stimulus to the
lumber industry and created millions
in wealth, where once there was moth

many as incubus. The climax which
came to the prosperity of the business
world in the panic of 1907 dealt stun

for almost two years, hundreds of
