A spider and a EisI1.

'The amazing strength OF spiders is
shown in a number Of well authenti-
Gated Instances a biologist says.
'"Thus we have an instance of a half
inch spider catching a two inch fish.
It was Of the ground or wolf family.
A scientist came upon it struggling
with fish on the edge Of little pool.
It's claws were buried in the fsh's tail.
1t had the tail out of the water, but
the head still remained underneath.
Like a hend the spider struggled to
pull the fish up on the bank, and the
fish struggled desperately to draw the
spider into the pool. For ten minutes
the scientist watched this silent and
deadly fight. Then he hurried away
for bottle in which to put the com
batants when he captured them. He
was gone about half an hour, and on
his return the end had come. The fish
was dead, and the spider was slowly
dragging it's victim away.''-London

Value of aLauah.

The value of a good natured laugh
may be rated low by some people, but
many writers have attested its worth
in no measured terms.
It is not surprising that Charles
Lamb should have said, "a laugh is
worth a hundred groans in any mar
ket," but from the lips Of the somber
Carlyle one is scarcely prepared to
hear, mo man who has once heartily
and wholly laughed can be altogether
Or Treclaimably bad" -
It was Douglas Jerrold who boldly
stated that what was talked of as the
golden chain of Jove was nothing more
than a succession of laughs, a. chromat-
ic scale of merriment reaching from
earth to olympus
''I am persuaded" wrote Laurence
S%erne, chat every time a man smiles
but much more so when he laughs
it adds something to his fragment of
life"
Last of all may be cited the verdict
of Oliver Wendell Holmes, given with
his own inimitable humor, 1.-THE riot
GUS tumult of a laugh. take It, is the
mob law of the features, and propriety

Wounds According to
Gen. Jones

Baltimore, Feb. A-The first blood to
be spilled in the cause of woman's
suffrage in this country has been shed
by the marching army of General
Resale Jones. The pluolky little gener-
al who led her army into this city af-
ter the long, hard march from New
paratory to making the final 40 miles
to Washington, was the authority for
this statement.
1--WE pilgrims have shed the first
blood in our cause" she declared, to-
day. 1.-TWO of our army reported,
by the constant wetting on the muddy
roads, had cut their feet so badly that
they b1ed profuseIy. These are noble

When Jenny Lind Saw Niagara.

A piece of verse by Elizabeth Stuart
Phelps Ward records an incident which
happened when Jenny Lind was visit
ing America. After the Swedish night
ingale had won the hearts of a vast
public and not only praise of the sing
er, but friendship for the noble woman
had grown strong among the Ameri-
cans it was asked:
How honor her? By what fair sight or
way?
Show her Niagara on a rainbow day.
So she is shown among a curious
multitude approaching this marvel of
marvels-the voice of the waters, the
voice of the woman, meeting as it were
in happy praise of God. She gazed
awesHuck and sank on her knees in
prayer. The people prayed with her,
and those who were not moved by the
majestic splendor of nature to worship
the infinite. yet, as Mrs. Ward says,
for many a day thereafter thought of
God and of Jenny Lind kneeling hum
bly, there.-Christian Science Monitor.

TAILOR WRECKS CIGAR STORE:

While intoxicated this morning, ac-
cording to the police, Louis Kovach,
625 BOStwick avenue, a tailor is al
legged to have assaulted Michael
Friedman, clerk in the employ of
the United Cigar Stores Company on
Main street by welding a heavy glass
change receptacle on his head. Not
satisfied with being disarmed he went
into the street and with bare hands
thrice broke the plate glass door
way. AS a policeman was being sum-
moned he ran toward the Connecticut
National bank and there resisted the
efforts of Friedman to hold him for
the policeman, resulting in the arrest
of both. Kovach was not in condi-
ton to appear before the court this
morning and was held until his con-
dition had improved. To DR.. c. r.
Pratt he is alleged to have offered a
bride for his release.
So keen1y. did the two men. fight on
the street that James H. O'Rourke the
local baseball magnate in an attempt
to separate the combatants received
several bruises and it is said will ap-
pear i'll court to testify. The combin-
ed efforts of Sergt. Prout, and Pa
tro1men Taylor and Corrigan were re-
outred to Sanaxata the natr.

a Scene In the House of Lords.

Once when the late Lord Richie was
president OF the local government
board he was very anxious to hurry a
certain bill through before the end of
the session.
Lord Richie saw his bill through
the commons and then strolled up to
the lords, where he found three peers
in private room seated before three
empty tumblers.
els this the house Of lords ?" he asked
with a touch of sarcasm.
at isl was the reply.
The minister shifted. "Do I smell
whisky?" he asked.
"You do,' said one noble lord. 'fYou
may observe that the glasses are emp
ty. Unless they are Immediately re-
filed one Of us will go, you will not
have quorum, and your bill will not
go through"
So the president OF the local govern
ment board comforted the house of
lords with whisky. and his bill was
passed.-London Tit-B1ts.

ISOLATION HOSPITAL
OVERTAXED WITH CASES

In reTnarking upon a report that pa
tisnts were refused treatment at the
Isolation hospital Health officer Ed
ward A. Mcclellan stated this morn
ing that such was the case, but en-
tirely due to the inadequacy of the
present facilities, which have been
long a matter of public discussion and
for which very purpose the old
tuberculosis pavilion at Lakeview
Home was secured as an addition.
DR.. Mcclellan VOuchsafed the infor-
nation that the present isolation hos
pita1 had but four rooms, three of
which are now occupied by scarlet
fever patients and the fourth by an
Rrysipelas case When, however, the
contemplated addition is completed in
May it is expected that there will be
sixteen rooms.
Investigation by the auth critics into
the case cited, the 11-year-oId son of
Mrs. Wolfe, 7S Goodseil street, results
In the announcement that he is doing
very nicely under his present home

END LIVER TROUBLE
WITHOUT CALOMH,
q n tr u S tworthy Drug,
Thought to Loosen the
Teeth, Now Made Abso-
1utely Unnecessary.

Dr. Edwards Olive Tablets-the
substitute for calon1el-are the mild
est but surest laxative known, and
their effect on the liver is almost in
stantaneous. They are the result of
DR.. Edwards determination not to
treat liver and bowel complaints with
calomel. DR.. Edwards has been cal
omeIs unconpromfsing foe. His eff
forts to Danish it brought out these
little olive oil-co1ored tablets, a rare
combination of vegetable compounds
mixed with olive oil. These pleasant
harmless little tablets do all the good
that calomel does but have no bad
after effects. They don't injure the
teeth like strong liquids or calomel.
They take hold of the trouble and
quickly correct it. Why cure the
liver at the expense of the teeth =? Cal
omel sometimes plays havoc with the
gums. So do strong liquids. It is
best not to take ca1omel at all, but to
let live Tablets take their place.
Most adaches, "duIln ess'' and that

Laugh at Your Burden

Most OF US are bending under the
burden of some great load. 1t may be
care, it may be disappointment, it may
be injustice, 1t may be physical pain
or spiritual discoura cement, but it is
heavy. Often it seems heavier than
we can bear, and we cry out and pro-
test These burdens are very real, but
really they are not half as big and
heavy as we make them, declares a
writer in the UniversaIist Leader. We
have had them upon our shoulders. en-
t1rely out of our sight, so long that
they have been magnif1ed by imagina-
ton or WEAKNESS or impotence until
they seem unbearable. Now, then,
whatever your burden may be, how
ever long you have been carrying 1t
and however proud you may have be-
come of your self imposed martyrdom,
just take your burden down and look
at it honestly, and you will be surpr1s-
ed how it has dwindIed away while
you have been magnifying it in your
mind. Look at it frankly and fearless
" and in nine cases out of ten will
your tears be turned to laughter and
your signing into song.
