How Spiders Undress.

1t is an interesting sight indeed to
watch a. spider change its skin and
one that will we'll repay any one for
the time taken up by waiting for the
little known-general1y speaking
event to take place. When preparing
for the change the spider stops eating
for several days and makes his pre-
,liminary arrangements by fastening
himself by short thread Of web to
one Of the main lines Of his snare, this
to hold him firmly while he proceeds
to undress. First the skin cracks all
round the thorax, being held only by
the fore part. Next the lower part of
the body is uncovered, and then comes
the struggle to free the legs. BE

to have very hard time Of #. Fiji
teen minutes Of continued persever-
ance, however. brings him out OF his

appear limp and iifeless for some time

Tho Wheel Problem.

Which, at any given moment, is Nov
ing forward faster-the top Of coach
wheel or the bottom?
The answer to this question seems
simple enough, but probably nine per-
sons out Of ten. asked at random,
would give the wrong reply. 1t would
appear at first sight that the top and
bottom must be moving at the same
rate-that is, the speed Of the carriage.
But by a little thought it will be dis
covered that the bottom Of the wheel

ton around It's axis, moving backward,

OF it's own motion around the axis and
the speed at which the carriage moves.

Liqht and Dark Cigars.

A striking example Of the ordinary
smokers ignorance on the subject OF
smokes is the popular superstition that
a dark looking cigar is stronger than a
lighter colored one. Some strong cigars
have dark wrappers, but the dark
wrapper does not by any means indi-
cate Il strong cigar. Dark, gummy to-
bacco, If thoroughly cured, Is the mild
est form. OF course if dark tobacco is
not thoroughly cured it will be strong,
but so will light tobacco. for that mat
ter. Any cigar man will bet you that
the dark color is usually, though not
always, a sign Of ripe, well cured
leaf, which is therefore milder nine
times out Of ten than the lighter hued
leaf. But when it is known that every
manufacturer makes both dark and
light cigars and that he uses exactly
the same blend Of filler In both and
that the wrapper only constitutes
small fractional part Of the cigar it is
clearly seen that the shade Of the
wrapper has little to do with the
strength Of the cigar. Ask the dealer
for a strong cigar. He hands out a
dark one. and the Imagination does
the rest.-Harpers Weekly.

MRS. OLIVER H. p. BELMONT.
Tho First Sleeping Car.

The first real sleeping car was built
In 1864. 1t was called the Pioneer,
and the builder further designated it
by the letter a." not dreaming that
he would soon exhaust the letters of
the alphabet. The Pioneer was built
in a Chicago and Alton shop and cost
the almost fabulous sum Of $4,000.
That was reckless extravaganza in Z
year when the best Of railroad coaches
could be built at cost not exceeding
$4,000. But the Pioneer was blazing
a new path in luxury. Without it was
radiant In paint and varnish, in gay
stripes and lettering. 1t was giant
compared WITH its fellows, for it was
a foot wider and two and q half high
er than any car ever built before. 1t
had the hinged berths that are the dis
tinctive feature Of the American Sleep
ing car today, and the porter and the
passengers no longer had to drag the
bedding from closets at the far end of
the car.-Outing.

First Mortgage Bonds.

BY reason Of the insistence Of many
investors that their bonds be Of first
mortgage it may be said that the i'm
portance Of the word first is de-
pendent upon the circumstances, says
Moody's Magazine. A bond may be
first in fact. It may be SO only In q
relative sense in that It indicates the
order In which the bond was put out
by the issuing company or the use Of
the term ''f1rst'' in the name Of q bond,
undesirable and loose though It be in
such instances, may be upon the slight
ground that the mortgage is indeed
first on some part of the property,
while on other parts it may have but
third or fourth claim. It Is there
fore obvious that the mere presence
OF this term In a title does not neces-
sarily make the bond an absolutely
prior lien. It has been estimated that
95 per cent in number and 95 per cent
In value Of steam railroad "frsts' are
first liens in name only. a.,

SANDERS OF OUR WEATHER.

SANDERS OF OUR WEATHER.
Editor Bloom of the Devils Lake
Journal resents an article recently
! published in an Oregon paper, sland-
ering the climate of North Dakota,
and says: While it is true that
North Dakota had a colder October
than usual, in common with other
states east of the Rockies, it will
be seen that it was nothing like what
the Standard depicts. Neither was it
so cold as in other states farther east
and south. An exchange from south
ern Iowa stated that apples remain
ing on the trees on Oct. rs were
frozen through and ruined Cabbage
heads were frozen solid and cement
work had to be discontinued tempo
rarily on account of hard freezing.
The climate of North Dakota is
quite different from that of Oregon.
There is more oxygen in the air. We
have colder weather in winter and
less "hot air. the year around. You
don't see any snow capped peaks here
in the summer time. There are no
scab lands, Rockies or Blues. We
have to wear heavy warm clothing
in winter but we never have to wear
an overcoat to bed in August. We
have rain when rain is needed and
snow only in the winter season. Our
fruit isn't injured by. early or late
frosts. Our crops mature and we
don't have to ship them around Cape
Horn to find a market for them. We
have farms instead of ten acre ranch
es. We haven't any saloons or other
irrigating projects. We don't need
them. There are at least two farm
ers in this county whose annual in
come from their farm is more than
President Taft's salary. There are a
hundred of them in the state
Our people are all comfortable,
prosperous, healthy and happy.
They are rich in physical strength,
Intellectual vigor, earning capacity
and contentment. They have red
blood in their veins and super
of gray matter in their
brains. They are not such accom-
plished boosters as the Oregonians |
are, but the Touring mills of Mime
apolis can tell a story that would |

WILD GEESE.
They Never Feed Without Throwing
Out Scouts or Sentries.

They Never Feed Without Throwing
Out Scouts or Sentries.
Some Of the common sayings con-
corning birds are stupidity wrong.
You stupid goose" is an expression
constantly heard, yet the goose. wheth-
er wild or tame, is most sagacious.
Wild geese, for instance, never feed
without throwing out scouts or SEN
tries. J. G. Millais describes how he
saw a flock Of geese feeding with SEN
tries out and how after time one Of
the sentries went up to a bird that
was feeding and gave it gentle peck
on the back. The latter thereupon left
its grazing and went of to take up
guard, while the sentry took it's turn
to feed.
Gentle as a dove' Is such a conn.,
mon proverb that the dove has become
the emblem Of peace. Quite mis-
take, for all the dove and pigeon tribe
are great fighters, and in the breeding
season the cock birds indulge in bat
ties royal.
The foolish prejudice against all
birds Of prey includes that pretty little
hawk the kestrel. Now, II the kestrel
were known as the mouse falcon 1t Is
possible that keepers would not in
variably shoot it on sight. The kestrel
lives mainly on mice and wireworms.
1t is quite innocent Of killing par
tridges.
In game preserving district in
southern Scotland kestrels were prac-
tically exterminated few years ago.
What was the result? Over tract OF
country of 1900 square miles field mice
increased in such myriads that the
grazing was absolutely ruined One
sheep farmer lost $1,000 in one year

of Mr.. CLAWS, it may be said that his
fear that Secretary Ballinger and
Commissioner Dennet will not do
their duty does not Dy any means
constitute proof. CLAWS appears to
have been an exceedingly jealous
searcher after proof that somebody
was seeking to defraud the govern
ment, and unwilling to believe that
the facts he was looking for did not
exist. He appears to have gone over
the heads of the secretary of the in
terror. the commissioner of the land
Office, and every other official who
stood between him and his belief. 1t
may be that he was entirely honest
and that his superior officers we're
dishonest but his beliefs do not con-
stitute proofs of that fact. Mr.. Den
net is pretty we'll known in this state
and we do not believe those who
know him think he stands in any bad
light. But CLAWS may be certain
that public opinion will finally de-
termine who is right and who is
wrong in this matter. In one case
he will be a jealous and conscientious
laborer of the interests of the public
In the other he will be looked upon
merely as a disappointed subordinate
who failed in his desire to convict
good many people of dishonesty and
motives.

A ludicrous Experiment.

Holmes was one of the many emf

the riddle of the universe. In his case
the result was ludicrous. From the
sublime thoughts that came to him
while under the influence Of chloro-
form he thought he might arrive at
some solution. Placing himself in his
armchair, with pen, ink and paper at
hand, he inhaled the anaesthetic. As
drowsiness stole over him the nature
Of things seemed revealed. BY Wig
orous effort he seized his pen and
wrote-he knew not what, for before
he had finished he fell back uncon-
scious. When he recovered he turned
with trembling anxiety to the sheet OF
paper, OF which. written in scrawffHg
characters. but quite legible. he found
