THE REAPER AND THE CLEANERS.

THE REAPER AND THE CLEANERS Old Autunn is tho reaper on the farm

 And a sickle wide and heavy in his ,,, mighty hand he wields. when it swings the wheat is bundled, the barley wears a girth. the dry and rustling fields. Day by day his swath advances, day by day his slashes fall In the, garden of the summer. but he
 does not gather all. Close behind the tolling reaper hosts of
 little childrea troop. Eager-eyed. pink-cheeked and laugh
 ing. dancing gaHy at his heels. Now they race for purple asters. now
 for chestnuts brown they stoop, Now they chamber for an apple that
 bending bough conceals. There's a wondrous busy army of these
 happy girls and boys. Cleaners In the path of Autumn, and he
 smiles to hear their noise. He likes to hear the music Of their
 merry shout and song (Hes a tender hearted giant when
 the proper theme inspires hlm), And he leaves them wisps of treasure
 as he swings his scythe along Are they not the sons and daughters
 of old Mother Earth. who hires Follow, little folk. and welcome. follow
 till the fields are bare, While a Sheaf remains ungarnered there
 will still be some to spare. There are wild grapes in the thicket,
 there are cat-tails by the lake There are pumpkins fin the stubble
 for the little folk to glean-- A pie Tn every pumpkin, oh! the nnsot
 pie they bake,
 And a grinnlng Jack -o' Lantern for
 the ghostly Halloween. There are bittersweet and butternuts
 unclaimed beside the brooks Such are the things the reaper In his
 Kindness overlooks. The sumac and the woodbine. he spares
 them where they grow, TO gladden. little wanderers who hap pen by to sec. For them the crimson oak-trees and
 the golden naples glow, . Theirs be the Joy Of tramping
 through the fallen leaves. says And when the blazing bonnres fll the
 evening sky with light The reaper rests upon his scythe and
 chuckles at the sight He loves the little gleaners. and In
 planning for their veal His broad face beams with pleasure
 through, the Indian summer
 days;
 And as they cluster round the board
 at that most festai meal. When turkey stuffed with oysters
 holds their undivided gaze. Old Autumn stands in spirit behind
 each little chair. The happiest and thankfulest of all the
 servants there.

MADAGASCAR SPIDERS.

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-

position Of 1900 a whole piece Of fab
ric eighteen yards long and eighteen
inches wide was exhibited which was
woven out Of this web, for which II
was necessary to provide 100000 yards
Of spun thread Of twenty-four strands.
"For its manufacture $4,000 spiders
had to be brought into requisition, and
these were procured by offering the
natives so much n hundred; but, not
knowing or ignoring the purpose for
which the insects were required and
having a get-rich-quick desire, they
brought them in BY basketfuls, mostly

OF cloth was completed and was OF

1.-THE idea OF obtaining silk from the
spider Is an old one. as distinguished
men in France discoursed on the sub
ject as long ago as ITO. but the first
study OF this Madagascar spider came
up some ten years ago and the spin

II is only the female that spins The
first difficulty in obtaining the thread
direct from the insect consisted IN CON
triving how 70 secure the living spider

Do your washing without fire next
time Save the bother, the discomfort
and the cost of fuel.
Wash your clothes with Fels-Naptha
in cool or lukewarm water, in summer
or winter.
It's much easier-no hard rubbing is
needed.
1t saves the clothes because there's no
boiling to weaken them and no hard
rubbing to wear them out
1t takes less than half the time of the
old way.
And this Fels-Naptha way Of wash
ing in cool or lukewarm water makes
your clothes cleaner, sweeter, and fresher
than if you boiled and hard-rubbed EN-
till Doomsday.
Don't take a substitute for
Fels-Naptha because it will not do the
work.
Look for the red and green wrapper
and follow the directions printed on tho
back
