pect them. Flying fish the size Of her
rings are found I'm an the waters, and
there is the flying fox. the well known
fruit eating bat. which the Malays call
"kruang." They may be seen almost
any evening winging their steady
flight often at a great elevation well
out Of range OF shotgun. The hying
squirrels as evening twilight comes
are also seen. They glide down from
one lofty tree TO the base Of another,
up which they scramble to the level
they started from. Wide expansions
Of skin between the fore and hind
limbs act in parachute fashion and
sustain them in their glide. They are

There are certain large sea spiders
two feet from toe to toe, called Colo
sendeis gigas, that live in the water
and feed entirely upon mollusks and
worms.
The carnivorOus wolf spider, an am
phibious inhabitant of the tropical re-
gions of South America, is said to pre-
fer a fish diet. though it is not averse
to eating mice, young birds and even
snakes, resembling In this respect the
theraphosidae, or bird catching spiders,
Of India and Queensland. some of
which equal a rat in size
The collosendeis is the most formula
Bile specimen of the spider family,
measuring six inches around the body
and possessing twelve long hairy legs
with which it grips its flnny prey. Ii
attacks fish several times larger than
itself and after biting them through
the back and singing them to death
gluts itself by sucking the juices from
the bodies of its victims.

TEMPERANCE LESSON.

In Paris the New York Giants were
entertained at an elaborate forma
dinner. The reports say rare old
wines were served" but this is added
"They remained untouched by the
players" In other words the man who
plays professional baseball must leave
intoxicants alone
This is no less true of every other
sport. Pugilists who last must not
be drinkers. The wrestler who fills
himself with liquor can never be a
Gotch. There is not single sport in
which excellence is not the twin of to-
tai abstinence. No young man train
ing for a race, team, crew or field
contest, can have his grog.
He must surrender one or the other
This fact is becoming more and more
fixed. It is one that reaches boys

a boy with red blood, and most OF

quisite, the impression is very apt to
be lasting one.
Long life, physical prowess, staying
qualities and endurance are all things
to cOnjure with. They are appeals
that have vast enticement, and they
can be made the most effective of
temperance lessons. - Duluth News

The Price Must Be Paid.

The president has got his free mar
ket basket for the benefit of the con
sumers of the country. But every
benefit has its price. The cost of this
benefit comes out of the food produc.
ers OF the country, the farmers. That
price must be paid by somebody. If
the president does not compensate for
it in his policy, he and his party may,
like endOrsers Of a defaulted note,
have to pay it in person, as Grover
Cleveland and the Democratic Party
paid for the Wilson bill.
There are twelve million farmers IN
The country taking nine billion dollars
out of the soil annually. SCR half a
century they have staggered under the
load OF high protection to build up
manufacturers, deceived by mock com
pensation of high duties on good pro-
ducts, whose surplus was sold abroad,
thus fixing the sale Of all at world
prices. These duties are now stripped
from the farmers just at the time
when the surplus disappears, and
when prices at home begin to rise for
them under protection, as prices have
risen against them on manufactures
for fifty years.
The free market basket is charge
to the farmers account. 1t must be
paid in legislation for the farmers, or
they will help themselves to pay at
the polls. The free listing of farm
ers' manufactured materials, the inn
minent rural credit legislation, the
Lever bill making heavy appropria-
ton for education in intensive farm
ing, and the good roads bill appropri-
ating twenty-eight million dollars to
smooth their way to market, are com
pensations as we'll as intrinsically just
measures.
Our December imports increased
thirty millions over 1912. OF this,
eighteen millions was food products,
six millions crude materials and only
six millions completed manufactures
for the consumer. Minneapolis Jour
