Few OF US, when We take up our

know the number vi papers published
daily IL the world or OF the many
aud singular languages IA which some
ot them are printed. VI course, the
prepOnderance Of such publications
appears in the English language. The
entire number published all over the
world, in every language aud dialect
Is between $500 and 5000, Germany
publishes 900 odd dailies, one OF
which, the Post Zietuhg Of Frankfort.

Great Britain prints only about 2jU

Boston combined, and 1t boasts, too,
the daily with the largest circulation
IN the world-Le Petit Journal.
The papers published IN the native

\ SPIDERS ODD ADVENTURES

There was a spider that went at
least through two battles and took a
long journey by see and land, all with
out mishap. The FIRST time this partic
ular spider came into notice was just
before the fight at Atbara, In Upper
Egypt. II had taken up its quarters
ia the ventilator of the helmet Of "A
British officer. II was an ~enegetic spi.
der, coming out at night TO feed, and,
after having its supper Of flies, re
turning into its hiding place. The Of
iccr left it unmolested, and when he
went into the Atbara fight IL was still
in his helmet. Men were killed all
about this officer, but he and his spider
were unhurt. At Omdurman the officer
commanded n battery, and once more
the spider went into action.
When the African troubles were over.
the British officer packed various arti.
cles to be sent home, and .nong them
the helmet that had seen action. Not
until too late did the officer remember
that he had sent his little friend on a
long voyage without stocking its lar.
der, but nothing could be done TO help
IL.
When the British officer reached Lon.
don, it was with some conjunction that
he opened his helmet box, expecting TO
see the dead body of the spider, lie
was, however, rejoiced TO find his friend
alive and vigorous, and not oven lonely.
Upon the way the occupants Of 'he hel.
met had increased in number, for now
two young spiders shared the strange
retreat.
