Spider Racing. Lord Devon's property was greatly impoverished by the twelfth earl, who squandered nearly all his fortune and terribly embarrassed the entailed property. He was addicted to a most peculiar form of gambling, namely, spider racing, which he played with the last Marquis of Hastings and the eighth Duke of Bedford. Each player selected a spider, which was placed on the table, and then the latter was gently heated from underneath. The warmth caused the Insects to run, and the spider which got to the edge first won. But spiders are curious crea tures, and It would frequently happen that a spider which was near the edge and looked like winning would dou ble back, traverse the table in all di rections and lose Its backer the thou sands of pounds so nearly won. Lord Devou, Lord Hastings and the Duke of Bedford each of them squandered enormous sums on this game, which contributed in no small degree to the ruin of the two former.—New York Tribune. Inn Names In Germany. Germany probably holds the record for out of the way signs and fantastic Inn names. The most absurd results are usually obtained by the name of some animal with a more or less un suitable object. The Comfortable Chicken and the Cold Frog, both of them in Berlin, are certainly left in the shade by the Angry Ant (Ort, in Westphalia) and the Stiff Dog (Berlin). The Lame Louse is an inn in a suburb of Berlin, and not far from it is the Thirsty Pelican. The Dirty Parlor, the Bloody Bones, the Musical Cats, the Fourbuudredweight Man, and the Boxers' Den are all in Berlin or the neighborhood, and the Old Straw Bag in Leipzig. The Open Banghole is in Stadtohen, in the Palatinate, and the Shoulder Blade in Jerichow. The Last Tear is a landlord's notion for the name of his inn, situated near a grave yard, visited by returning mourners, and is of frequent occurrence through out the fatherland. A Strange Colony. The Colonia Cosine, on the Paraguay above Asuncion, is one of the most cu rious in the world. The members of the colony make or grow everything they want and import nothing. The workmen have seven hours' work a day and earn, not money, but time. Their wages are hours and half hours. These they sometimes save up till they have a week in hand and then go off on an excursion. If a man wants a chair or table he pays for It in hours of work, which are deducted from the balance to his credit. Three men went off up the river in a canoe for a three weeks' holiday. They sold their canoe at Asuncion for a pound and came home overland in ten days, lodged in the best houses in the villages on the way and yet had some money in hand at the end.—London Spectator. Dogs In Ecclesiastical Decorations. The stained glass representation of the "Peddler and His Dog" was remov ed from Lambeth church a quarter of a century ago owing to the alleged in congruity of introducing the figure of a dog in a church window. Quite re cently Chancellor Prescott of Carlisle refused a faculty for a stained glass window in a Westmorland church be cause the design included a dog, and perhaps the only existing examples of dogs used for ecclesiastical decorations are to be found in Lord Brownlow's private chapel at Ashbridge. In this church one stained glass window de picts Tobias and Sara In bed and a dog sleeping on the quilt, while in an other window Job is shown being mocked bv three men, one of whom is holding a dog by a chain.—Westmin ster Gazette. The Giant's Staircase. One of the most widely known geo logical curiosities in the vicinity of Cork is a series of laiobs or knots pro- Jfttag ftw tk* hi <>f a cliff. TkM are sixteen of these huge projections all together, all regularly set in the faee of the cliff, one above the other, forming a series of such uniformity as to give it the general appearance of u stairway. Since time out of memory this queer a~> cut and its projecting "steps" have been known as the Gi ant's Sialnase. How Me Won. A rich old man was asked how he made his money. "Simplest thing in the world," he said "1 always did the reverse of what ever.vltody else was doing If every bod.\ bought, i sold prices were high If everyltody sold. I bought prices were low."

Peter Augustus had a foolish, fond old grandfather. The grandfather was boasting to a visitor true day, as grand fathers will, about the family he had raised. "My daughter Martha is a line young woman." he said, "and her little boy, Peter Augustus, is a tine lad. But the finest thing about that pair Is the af fection that exists between them. They never exchange a cross word. They're more like two young lovers than mother and son. It's benutlful to see them together. Hold on a min ute, and I'll call Peter Augustus in. Then his mother will come down, nnd you can see their relations for your self." The old man rose and ambled heavily to the door. There was a beatific smile on his old face, little Peter Augustus was playing with the cat in the gar den. "Peter Augustus!" lie shouted. "Pe ter Augustus! Your mother wants you!" The little boy dropped the cat and fixed a searching glance on his grand father. "Your mother wants you, Peter Au gustus!" "Does she want to warm me?" Te ter Augustus cautiously demanded. Really Worth While. Eben Pratt of Marshby had sent two sons to Boston and knew he had rea son to be proud of them. One day a summer visitor lingering In Mr. Pratt's grocery, provision and dry goods es tablishment mentioned some of the shining lights who had made them selves remembered in anil near Boston and others still to be found there. "We've had a good many smart men and women In and around our city." said the visitor, "and there are a num ber of them left. We've got scientific men and writers and artists and musi cians and"— Mr. Pratt's dry voice broke in on the ist. "If ye call those folks smart," he said, "ye want togo down near the water to an address I'll give ye and see the way my boys, Ed and Sam, can open oysters! I guess that'll give ye something togo by when ye're talking of smartness."—Exchange. Willing to Be Honest. Phil May, the great English artist, earned his first fame iu Australia. One day a broken down minister applied to him for charity, and May engaged him as a model. As a joke he also demand ed that his eighty-year-old pensioner agree to leave him his skeleton when ho died. When May left Australia he called his model in. "You've played me a dirty trick." said May. "by swin dling me out of that skeleton. 1 could have bought one in sound order and condition for half the money you've cost me." The old fellow, conscious of his base Ingratitude to his best and most patient friend, answered: "Don't be angry with me, Mr. May. It's not my fault. I meant to keep my word. Stay in Sydney a few months longer and give me another chance to show you that I am a man of honor." Redhot Plays. "It is a tremendous undertaking to get n new play accepted and produc ed." once said the late Clyde Fitch to a friend. "So many are written, and so few ever see the light of day. An English playwright with a gift of hu morous exaggeration illustrated this fact to me once. He told me how he submitted a play to a celebrated ac tor and how in the course of the con versation the actor remarked: " 'Don't you think it Is growing chilly in this room?' "'Yes; it Is rather,' the young play wright admitted. "Then the actor rang a bell, and a servant forthwith appeared. " 'James,' said the actor, 'this room is rather cold. You may put three more manuscripts on the fire.' Lip plncott's. A Competent Critic.
