spiders "When undstulbed, spiders never bite
anything except insects useful as their food, but
when attacked or cornered all species open their
jaws and bite if they can depending on the size
and strength Of thelr jaws. The stories of DEATH
insanity and ameneSs from the bites OF spiders
are probably untrue"
The species of spider are hard to number. The
spiders of North America have been studied by
Hentz, EmertOn Keyserling and Thorell, and no
doubt by a number of other men who have spe
ciazed in insects, and it is estimated that there
are 800 species In North America. The spider
has heart liver stomach, intestines, thorax lungs
and several Other interesting organs, as. for ex-
ample, the spinning glands and spinnerets.
1t is recorded that good many experiments
have been made to throw light on the effect Of
spider bites on man. distinguished entomolo-
gist named Bertkau allowed various kinds of
spiders to bite his hand. Some of them drew
blood giving sensation like that Of a sharp
needle prick. The wounds smarted and sWeed
somewhat and itched when rubbed, producing very
much the sensation of mosquito bites but no per-
manent i'll effects followed. Another entomolo,
gist named Blackwell, also allowed specimens
of the big spiders to bite his hand He reported
that he felt no particular pain and little infam-
nation followed, and the wounds soon healed.
Still another entomologist, named Doleschall re-
ported that he had shut up small birds with the
Mygale one of tie biggest and fercest of the
spider tribe The birds soon died after being
bitten 'He allowed one of his fingers to be-
bitten by large jumping spider The pain was
severe and his finger and then his hand and

pant distrust and contempt with fellowship and
c0-operntion And it works-Ladies and gentle
men, it works beautifully!
The enterprisng citizens of jamestown, n. Y,
and the farm people who live in the counties sur
rounding the city (Which have a population of
about 100000 Joined heads, hearts and hands this
last autumn in a great Farm and City Celtic
gether Festival" and the affair was such huge
success that a permanent organization was
formed and the festival will be held annually here
after.
Here is an illustration of how misunderstanding
is bred and why 1t persists sometimes
James Mason, city dry-goods merchant, drove
out in the country one pleasant Sunday afternoon
In October and was astonished at the number
of apples he saw on the ground in orchards along
the roadside. II cannot buy good apples at the
grocery next my store" he complained, "unless /
pay Alaska prices for them, cents each. Yet
here they are rotting on the ground"
Mason jumped to the conclusion that the farm
ers did not try to save the apples, to help the
city man and his family get food. "They are
both selfish and lazy" he asserted when he told
of the experience.
Simon NewcOmb lived on a farm near where
Mason drove that Sunday. He had been i'll town
Saturday afternoon with lead of apples. The
groceryman looked them over, and offered New
comb so cents bushel. Newcomb had read in
his farm paper that apples were scarce and he
thought he ought to have a dollar bushel.
"But your apples not sorted There are sew
eral kinds in the crate, and many of them
are inferior in size. and some badly worm eaten"
objected the grocer. You leave them with me
for 50 cents bushel or else take them some
where else"
NewcOmb looked at his watch and saw it was
nearly chore time and he sold them. But when
he got home he told his wife the grocer took adj
vantage of him and was little better than a rob-
her.
But both men were wrong. The orchard owner
was not lazy nor selfish He had other problems
worse to handle and mere necessary to him than
picking up and saving n few bushels of apples.

SOME FACTS ABOUT BEER.

A pint of beer contains eight-tenths
of an ounce of alcohol, equivalent near
ly to tablespoonful Of whisky.
While cold beer tastes cool and
pleasant to hot man, it does not cool
him off.
1t heats him up.
The alcohol and solids are burned
into heat.
The effect of alcohol is to send an
excess of blood to the skin.
Whenever a large amount of blood
goes to the skin it causes feeling OF
warmth. ~
When man drinks beer t1e causes
himself to feel hot.
He also actually increases his body
heat.
He increases his chances of sun
stroke at least 100 per cent.-Dr. w.
A. Evans, Chicago.

L.lheraI.Minded Maid.

The favored sutton rang the doorbell
SIS Miss Blank at homer" he inquired.
"Oh, yes, sir" replied the maid, and
she ushered him into the drawing
room.
Having waited for almost an hour he
summoned the maid again.
did you forget to tell Miss Blank
that l was here?" he asked, impa-
tiently.
"No, sir,' was the reply. Miss
Blank hasn't got back from shopping
yet"
"But you said she was at home"
"Yes, sir. She told me positively
that she was always home to you, sir"

Nor was the grocer robber. He had trade
which required certain standards, and the stuff
offered him did not conform to those standards.
All wrong, almost from the start.
Just as the foregoing illustration makes plain
the problem more than pages of generalities, so
the experience of Jamestown in it's first Farm and
City festival will show how the effort to get to-
gether succeeds better than more pages of plati-
tudes.
First of all jamestown had live board Of
commerce. and a secretary with vision not
bounded by the factory chimneys of the city nor
it's city limits. Secretary Fred Clayton Butler
had been studying United SUITES census re-
ports Chautauqua county, N. Y, and he dis
covered that most Of the rural towns of the county
and all its rural villages, but two or three that
had lot of factories, had decreaGed in population
in the last three decades He did not need to
be told about the increase In cost of living. That
was sef-evident
! surveying the field he found that there was
an active apple growers association in Chautau-
qua county, also milk producers association
farm bureau, lot of big oranges, and number
Of farmers clubs. The manager of the farm
bureau was Hawley B. Rogers, and Mr.. Rogers
was called into conference with Mr.. Butler
"You DO not need to tell me anything about de-
creasing rural populations" interrupted Rogers,
when Butler started in on his pet paragraph. Il
knew all about that before you city people awak-
ened. But what can we do about it?'
Right here the city man had the farm bureau
beaten. 1--WE can get together and find out"
was his reply. II know that the city people have
n double stake at issue; the cost of what they
must have to eat, and the market for large part
of their goods I think your people have some
thing at stake also You want good roads, and
good schools, and good markets. Perhaps we can
get together"
Out Of this conference grew bigger conference,
present at which were representatives of most of

WHAT SCIENCE SAYS.

In appearance the beer-drinker may
be the picture of health, but in reality
he is most incapable Of resisting dis
ease. A slight injury, severe cold,
or shock to the body or mind will
commonly provoke acute disease, end
ing fatally. Compared with other in
ebriates who use different kinds Of al
cohol, he is more incurable and more
generally diseased. 1t is our observa-
ton that beer-drinking in this country
produces the very lowest kind of in
ebriety, closely allied to criminal In
sanity. The most dangerous classes OF
ruffians in our large cities are beer
drinkers. Intellectually a stupor
amounting almost to paralysis arrests
the reason, changing all the higher fac
ulties into a mere animalism, sensual,
selfish, sluggish, varied only with
paroxysms of anger, senseless and
brutal.-Scientific American.

SEND HIM 10 KANSAS.


Gov. q. L. Philip of Wisconsin, in
the course of an address before an au-
dience in a Milwaukee church, was
asked, "What would you do with
man who had been drunkard for
sixty years?" The governors reply as
quoted by the press was as follows:
"There surely would be course that
would bring out the man in him after
all. There is one man whom I have
pardoned from prison whom feared
would go back to drinking so | sent
him into the center of Kansas. He
can't get liquor there and he is living
straight, clean life. I believe he is a
credit to the community in which he
lives"

NO UNEMPLOYED IN COLORADO.

A reference to the "army of unem-
ployed caused by prohibition" would
subject one to ridicule in Colorado. Not
for score of years, says the Denver
Times, has there been such shortage
of men In Colorado's many lines of in
dustry. Every mining camp in the
state is said to be short of help, and
the same is true Of the farming COM
munities, and when the mines and
farms send to the city for help they
find the same situation. Labor in
Colorado seems to be very generally
employed" says w. L. Mansfield, who
is in charge Of the free employment
bureau conducted by the United States
immigration service. 1--WE are getting
very few applications for jobs"

DUBLIN, Ind, Nov 22.-Before
well filled house, at Odd Fellows hall
Tuesday evening, Miss Lillian ANNA
lee, a concert pianist of much talent,
and Mrs. Myrtle Homes Slant, drama
tic soprano, of Dublin, but formerly of
Los Angeles, appeared in joint recital
for the benefit Of the Red Cross.
Miss Ammalee is enroute from her
home in Los Angeles to New York,
where she is to give recital at Aeo-
liam hall, and will also appear as solo
ist with the New York Philharmonic
society She stopped off at Dublin,
where she is the guest OF Mrs. Slant,
who has appeared with her in many
recitals on the coast. Miss Ammalee
returning from New York, will stop at
Chicago, where she is billed to per-
form again with the Chicago Sym
phony orchestra.
Miss Ammalee is a pupil Of the fam
GUS Leschetizky and received most OF
her musical education in Europe,
where she was the official. pianist OF
the Royal Austrian family for time.
She appeared as soloist with the Phil
harmonic society of Berlin, with the
famout conductor, DR.. Kunwald, now
at the head of the Cincinnati Sym
phony orchestra.
Holds Audience Well.
Miss Ammalee's performance Tues
day evening was a revelation to her
hearers. NcE,Es before hare the music
lovers of Dublin had the good fortune
of hearing such gifted artist of the
piano It is difficult task for piano
soloist to draw the strict attention of
the entire audience, much more so
when the audience is composed of peo-
pie of the rural districts, who are not
attuned to the technic of piano class
les, but Miss Ammalee held her audi
ence in the very palm of her hand, and
the applause that greeted her at the
close of her first suite of numbers, has
never been equaled before at any per
formance in Dublin. She was requir-
ed to make several appearances in re
sponse to the insistent applause of heI
audience.
Mrs. Slant, always a fayorite in Dub
/ lin, was also showered with applause
Miss Ammalee opened with popu
Lar Chopin valse She at once demon
! strated that she has the ability of the
artist which she is accredited with be
| ing. She has what SO many lady con
cert pianists do not have, that is, the
| force of volume of real artist. 1t is
said of most lady concert pianists
! that they do not exercise the power il
their playing that is generally used BY
men. but Miss Ammalee is not of tha
class If any criticism can be offered
| it must be said that she had too mucf
! volume for the small auditorium II
which she played, thus causing hel
tone quality to seem somewhat harsh
especially so in some of her heaviest
work Her technic, however was mar
velous to her hearers. Miss Ammalet
! followed with an ecossis or livel,
| Scotch dance, a Beethoven-Busoni ar
rangement, in which she displayed {
beautiful technic and touch. Then fol
