To GAUGE His Wife's Temper.

81 heard about a peculiar case of
henpecked husband recently" said a
young woman the other day.
"What was it," her friend inquired.
"There is Il man who has some diff
Guilty in gauging his wife's temper. At
times she is considerate of his welfare,
and at other times-well, he rather
thinks that married life is a failure.
HE has a peculiar manne of find
ing out the state of his wife's feeling
toward him. In the evening when he
returns home from work he never
steps into the house without going
through a sort of ceremony. First he
throws his hat in the house, and then
he seats himself on the steps and
waits. If five minutes pass without
the hat being thrown out again he en-
tiers and generally finds his wife very
agreeable. However, if the hat is
thrown out again the unfortunate man
seeks hospitality for the night some
where else rather than brave the an
ger of his helpmeet."

SPIDER INSTINCT.
Cutting a Web Thread to Escape From
an Intruder.


The instinct of the spider Is always
an interesting subject for study. Re
Gently q naturalist placed a small spi-
der in the center of n large spiders
web some four feet above ground
The large spider SOC rushed from its
intruder, which ran up one of the as,
cending lines by which the web was
secured to the foliage.
The big insect gained rapidly upon
the little one, but the fugitive was
equal to the emergency, for when
barely an inch ahead of the other it
cut with one of its rear legs the line
behind itself, thus securing it's own es-
cape, the ferocious pursuer falling to
the ground.
The naturalist says: at is not the
habit of spiders to cut tie slender
thread below them when they are as
cending to avoid some threatened dan
ger unless there is a hole close at
hand-and a hole that is known to be
u~noccupied." From this it would seem
that thelittle creatures action was the
result of some sort of reasoning. In
stinct led it to run away, but it must
have been something more than in
stinct that led it to sever the line and
so cut off the pursuit.
The same naturalist says that spi-
ders are cannibals and that they are
naturally p~ugnaciOus. But they do not
fight for the satisfaction of eating one
another. "When two spiders fight
there is generally a very good reason
for the attack and the vigorous de-
Tense that follows.
at is not generally known that after
a certain time spiders become inca
pable of spinning a web from lack
of material. The glutinOus excretion
from which the slender threads are
spun is limited, therefore spiders can
not keep on constructing new snares
when the old one are destroyed. But
they can avail themselves of the web
producing powers of their younger
neighborS, and this they do without
Scruple. AS soon as a SPIDERS web
constructing material has become eX-
hausted and its last web destroyed it
sets out in search of another home,
and unless it should chance to find one
that is tenantleSS a battle usually en-
sues, which ends only with the retreat
or death of the invader or defender."-

The FISHING Otter.

The otter used by Scottish poachers
is one of the most deadly fishing in
struments known. In some waters
it is far more effective than a net.
1t may be described as a water kite,
which serves to take out over the
water a line bearing fifty or more flies.
The otter itself is Il floating piece of
board loaded along n side to keep it
upright. The poacher walks along the
side of the loch or river, letting out
the fly decorated line as he goes, the
otter board gradually working out
toward the center. An enormous area
of water is fiShed at one time and
numbers of fish are killed.

THACKERAY WAS BORED.
Amusing Incident of the Authors Sec
ond Visit to Boston.

ono VISIT 10 0oSIon.
During Thackeray's second visit to
Boston Mr.. James T. Fields, his host,
was asked to invite ~Thackeray to at
tend an evening meeting of a scientific
club, which was to be held at the
house of a distinguished member.
1 was, said Mr.. Fields, very reluc-
tant to ask him to be present, for 1
knew he was easily bored, and l was
fearful that a prosy essay or geological
paper might be presented and felt GER
tain hat should such be the case he
would be eXasperated with me, the in
nOcent cause of his aftiictiOn.
My worst fears were realized. l
dared not look at Thackeray. 1 felt
that his eye was upon me. My dis
tress may be imagined when 1 saw
him rise quite deliberately and make
his exit very noiselessly into a small
anteroom adjoining. The apartment
was dimly lighted, but he knew that
[ knew he was there.
Then began a series of pantOmimic
feats impossible to describe. He threw
an imaginary person-myself, of course
upon the floor and proceeded to stab
him several times with a paper folder,
which he caught up for the purpose.
After disposing of his victim in this
way he was not satisfied, for the dull
lecture still went on in the other room,
so he fired an imaginary revolver sew
eral times at an imaginary head.
The whole thing was inimitably
done. 1 hoped nobody saw it but my
self. Years afterward a pOnderous,
fat witted young mar put the question
~squarely to me:
What was the matter with Mr..
Thackeray that night the club met at
Mr.. IS hOuSe?"

a Canine Feat,

a blind man, guided by a large and
athletic dog, went down the street the
other day. Just as they turned a cor
ner the blind mans dog saw a dog it
knew and darted forward in a way
that threw the sightless mendicant to
the ground. He was speedily assisted
to his feet, however, by a waggish
passerby, who remarked that he had
heard some remarkable stories of the
feats performed by dogs, but this was
the first time he had ever known one
to pull down the blind.

THE QUICKEST WAY.
How One Might Travel 1870 Miles In
About Ten Minutes.

80 81
1t is estimated that if all mechanical
difficulties could be removed and suffi-
cient power developed the minimum
time in which passengers could be
transport. over the eighty-five miles
from New York to Philadelphia would
be six minutes and fOrty-fOur seconds
and for the 100 miles from Boston to
New York ten minutes and fOur sec
Onds. A correspondent of the Scien-
tific American who has been working
on the problem says that the trains
would have to be run in a vacuum to
prevent their being heated to mean
descence by the resistance of the air.
They would have to be held in sus-
pension in the tube through
which they travelled, for the slightest
would result in enormous friction.
The cars might be held in suspension
by the propulsion of opposing magnets
on the cars and on the tubes respec-
lively. When thus isolated they could
be propelled only by the power of
magnetism. The energy consumed in
p%rOpelling the cars would be compare
lively low.
To avoid shock or jar the trains
would travel faster and faster until
One-half of the distance should be COW
cred and then slow down until the
destination should be reached. When
the rate of acceleratiOn is just such as
car be borne with comfort the limit
is attained. The effect on the pasSen-
gers would be q continuous pressure
against the back of the seat, as when a
car is started suddenly, for the first
half of the journey, and then in order
to prevent them from pitching out of
their seats the chairs would be turned
in the opposite direction for the rest
of the journey, during which the same
sensation would be felt.
At the speed named the passengers
would be travelling for each half OF
the distance One-third as fast as they
could fall through the same space I'M

HIS THOROUGHBRED.
A Deal the Horseman Put Through on
the Dead Quiet.

A man known roundabout as a
lover and possessor OF fine horses was
lately driving one Of his favorite
steeds along a suburban road when
he came upon another horse lover, at
most rs well known, who was driving
in the opposite direction. Seemingly
pleased to meet each other, both drew
up alongside.
Il heard only yesterday that you'd
gone away and brought back a new
thoroughbred" greeted the second
horseman.
Yep" gleefully returned the first
hOrseman; I'm just after leaving her
back home while | give this horse a
little spin for his liver"
Think she'll suitT' asked the sec
ond man, squirting good humoredly.
well, you know my style. old man.
She can step along in the best class,
and she's got n pedigree eclipsing any
around here"
How long have you had her?"
Just four days" answered the first
horseman in the same gleeful tone,
but I've had my eyes on her for some
time back"
Carried this deal through a little on
the quiet, didn't you?"
Yep" laughed the first man, with
a head shake of satisfaction.
"Is she a record breaker?"
"Sure thing; wouldn't have any
other. Wait till you fellows get a
glimpse of her, and if you don't agree
that I've still got my eyes for winners
I'll eat the tail of that horse there"
Suddenly the second horseman lean
ed over toward his friend and thrust
out his hand in palpable e~arnestness.
Accept my congratulations" said
he, land also give 'em to ~your-your
thoroughbred"

man, gripping the prOffered fist. BE
SURF to come in and see u.s." he added
as his friend prepared to drive on.

The Two

The following allegOry is told among

Every man has two guardian angels
n on his right shoulder and one OF
his left. In doing good the angel OF
the right shoulder notes it down anC
sets a seal upon it, for what is done
is done forever. When evil is com
mitted the angel on the left shoulder
writes it down, but he waits until mid
night before he seals it. If by tina
time the man bows his head and says
Gracious Allah, l have sinned; for
give me" the angel blots out the fault
but if not he seals it at midnight, anC
then the angel on the right shoulder
