Meetina Mrs. Spider.

Tn "Insect Biographies With Pen and Camera" the author pictures the plight of the unlucky fly who has en- tered Mrs. Spiders parlor:
 It Is struggling to escape from the unexpected net which in some mys- terious manner has suddenly envelop. ed it when a creature of terrible as- pect hastily rushes out upon it. Eight head-like eyes glare wildly upon the terrified fly. A large, hairy and bristly dnger-llke palpus on each side of this appalling face waves and hourishps with. angry menace in the air. appar- ently quivering with malignant glee. Then one of those combed and claw ed feet is stretched toward the hap less prisoner. and the threads that hold the 1y are suddenly frightened up as the monster pulls them together
 Then the spinnerets eject a shower of silken strands over the fly. and 1t is spun round and round on the threads that hold 1t until at last it Is securely enveloped. still alive, in silken bonds.

Hands That Make Beauty.

The father of Saint Gaudens. the sculptor. was a bootmaker and put the same enthusiasm into making good boot that hls son put into model ing statues. Millions are spent on paintings and sculptures. but just as many millions are spent on other pro- ductions of the human hand and brain. They may not be classed as works of art. yet are they the beautiful handi- craft of men and women. The prod ucts of the cabinet makers of the eighteenth century. the weaving of the Hindu men and women since the days of the Arabian Nights. the laceS and tapestries worked by peasant girls. nuns or queens, the creations Of the potter. the bfassmonger. the ironmon. ger. the silversmith, the goldsmith. the printer and the bookbinder were wrought by joyful workers. and mill lionaires compete with kings to pos sess them.-BoSton Globe.

Profane Dancino.

Harriet Beecher Stowe records that in her girlhood she and her friends used to dance jig entitled ''Go to the Devil and Shake Yourself" This dance must have enjoyed u long spell of pop ularity. The first Duke of Bucking- ham and Chandos was indignant when. deigning to attend an assembly ball at Airesford. his request for dance. addressed to a local rector's wife. met with the reply, Go to the Devil and Shake Yourself"' He complained to the rector. and it then transpired that the lady. who was somewhat deaf. thought his grace had asked her what dance was then being played This incident occurred in 1795. and twenty years later Crabbe. in his Tales" animadverts on bookseller for stock ing the music of a dance with such profane title.-Manchester Courier.

Trappinu A Coyoto..

The coyote Is uIie of the sllest and hardest of all fur braring animals to trap. He delights in digging up trapE. springing them, eating the bait and otherwise disturbing the set without getting caught. His sense of smell is very acute. The best way to trap him k to build a bonfire over the set after the traps have been properly placed. Throw into the embers some bacon rinds. chicken bones or. better yet. bones of sage hen or grouse. The coyote habitually seurches about camp6res for stray bits of meat and Is therefore leSs wary. The fire obliterates the traces of the set. eliminates the tracks and smell of Il human being. and the odor of the burned meat will attract him from long distance. He Is more likely to walk into the trap thus dis guised with the remnants of a camp. fire than any other unless you have Il carcass literally surrounded with traps with severe winter on and no other carcasses within miles.-W. +. Wilcox in Farm and Preside.

A Goat Tn m StudIo-

Among other stories in the Rem iniscences of Augustus Saint Gaudens" by father and son Is n confession by the son. When he was boy in Cor nish he had pet goat which he had trained to play n putting game. The goat would butt, Homer would dodge, and then. to his great glee, the gont would butt the wrong thing or the air. One day at dinner time when the studio barn wns deserted Homer was playing this game. Beyond the open barn door stood the wax model of the Logan horse waiting to be cast in plaster. This time when Homer dodg- ed the goat butted the back of the horse; but, since it did not fall or break. the relieved child thought it wasn't hurt and didn't tell. Before any one noticed that the rear of the animal was strangely askew" the horse had been cast in plaster and the en- largement begun This meant the loss of whole summers work-Just one more of the accidents and errors that increased the ''toughness of the sculp- tors life" - Ariadne Gilbert In St Nicholas

How Diana Scornd.

Tn Milton and Homespun" is this amusing English fox hunting story:
 Hold hard, madam. For heavens sake hold hard or that camel you are riding will be the death of some of my hounds!' cried the chOleric master of one of the southeastern counties packs of foxhounds to lady who was riding rather too close to hounds.
 Without deigning to turn her head she steered her mount little to the left and clear of the hounds rode her own line like a centaur. led the van through a long and very fast run and was the first of the field to see the fox rolled over in the open.
 Having recovered from his tempo rary it of churlishness and delighted with the manner in which the lady had ridden. the master approached her. somewhat sheepishly 1t must be con. fessed. with the brush" and an apol- ogy. 70.
 Pray. don't apologize. sir" was the smiling reply. You simply mistook my favorite hunter for a camel. and your foxhounds for fox terriers. It seems We were both mistaken. Thanks awfully for the brush" ?.

A tourist found himself in a German village far out of the beaten track of his kind. There was. however, a lin. den tree in the village square. The tree was plastered over with advertise ments like this: Get Your House Fur. nishings at Ober's." "Engagement Rings a Marvellous Selection nr Liebling's, the Matchmaker and Jewel er." Kitchen Utensils at Muller's," :" Just the Place For Your Wedding Breakfast-the Little Dining Room In the Post Ho.el." and so forth. The stranger read the advertisements at. tentively.

Early Day Railroad Travel.

On Nov. 20, IS3s. car made the first trip over the Portage railroad. This was the most remarkable engi- neering undertaking of the time. The railroad was thirty-sIx miles long. ex- tending across the Allegheny noun tains from Hollidaysburg to Johns. town. There were ten inclined planes. i've on each side of the mountains. Engines at the top of each plane pulled up four cars at time. The ascent on the east side measured 1898 feet. Then there was n tunnel of S70 feet and descent of l.1T2 feet on the western side. Passengers on canal boats entered the cars at Holidays burg and were carried over the noun tains. embarking in other hoats on the western side and thus continuing their journey to Pittsburgh. Later bonts were built so that they could be taken apart into three or four sections and placed on n car for the trip over the mountains. The construction of the Portage railroad cost Sl 900.

Artistic remperamen. Cured.

It will be news to many of her myri- ads of admirers to hear that that noble artist Titiens used to suffer from n bad temper. and in these outbursts she felt a strong desire to smash any thing that came handy" How TitienS was ultimately cured of the habit Mir. Gang relates in his "reminiscences: She was sitting at supper after a con- cert in a provincial town when the manager made some remark which an 'noyed her. As usual. she took the first thing that came to hand. a soda water bottle. and flung it at him. The man. ager was sitting at the table with his back to the window. The bottle miss ed him. smashed through the window and nearly killed casual passerby. This. said Titiens. gave her such a shock that she was completely cured of her failing. Mall Gazette.

He had one quality of character. how ever. which is not the invariable &C., compartment of genius. musical and other-he could appreciate genius In others. An anecdote taken from the Paris Figaro attests 1t:
 A critic was indulging in extrava- gant praise of Massenet to his face and wound up his fiattery:
 Wagner! What was he? His tal- ent is most absurdly exaggerated. 1 have to pick and choose among lot of rubbish in Wagner
 "Is that so?' commented Massenet suavely. "I should be quite happy with what you leave"

Birds.

The first birds" were not much like those of the present time. The pter- odactyI. supposed to be the pioneer of bird life. was great feather winged monster. with great spears on the hinges of the wings and n mouth full of sharklike teeth. The pterodactyl did not sing. and could we have seen him we would not have felt like sing ing ourselves. True birds, and especial ly the warblers. are very late in geo. logic time. There was no bird melody in the carboniferous jungles. The singers. In all probability. did not greatly antedate the human race.- New York American.
