Spiders Cast Out Life Line. ' I took a large spider from hln web under the basement of the mill, put htm on a chip of wood, and net him afloat on the quiet waters of the pond. He Immediately began to cast a web for the shore. He threw It! as far as possible In the air with the wind, ft soon reached tbe shore and made fast to the spires of grass. Then he turned himself about and In a true sailor fashion began toi haul In hand over hand his cable.! Carefully he drew it until his bark began to move toward shore. As It moved the faster he the' faster drew upon It to keep hU haw ser taut, and from touching the water. Boon he reached the shore and quickly sped his way homeward.; I tried several spiders and they all came to shore In like manner. Chl-i cago Tribune. FTT8,8t.

Whole Body Covered With Cohan Itch Cuticura Remedies Cure at Cost of 75c. "My little boy, when only an infant of three months, caught the Cuban Itch. Sores broke out from his bead to the bot tom of his feet. He vaud itch and claw himself and cry all the time. He could not sleep day or night, and s light dress is all be could wear. I called one of our best doctors to treat him, and hia treatment did not do any good, but he seemed to get worse. He suffered so terribly that my, husband said he believed he would have to die. I had almost given up hope when a lady friend told me to try the Cuticura Remedies. I ued the Cuticura Soap and applied the Cuticura Ointment and he at once fell into a alecp, and he alcpt with ease for the first time for two months. After three applications the sores began to dry up, and in juat two weeks from the day I commenced to use the Cuticura Rem edies my baby was entirely well. The treat ment only coat me 75c., and I would have gladly paid $109 if I could not have got it any cheaper. 1 feci safe in saying that the Cuticura Remedies saved hia life.

"I heard something new In the barberlng business the other morn ing," said the gray-headed man. "1 am occupying a room on the top floor of a skyscrnping apartment hotel. I sent for a barber to come up and shave me. He came, but when he saw to what an altitude he had attained he looked uneasy. " 'Would It inconvenience you to come down to the regular barber shop?' he asked. "I answered that it would not par ticularly put me out, but that 1 would like to know the reason for !ii request. " 'The fact Is," he said, 'I never like to shave anybody nt this dis tance above the ground. No barber likes to. We seem to be particular ly sensitive to height. It makes us nervous. Most barbers will not un dertake a Job above a certain num ber of feet in the air. Of course, if you insist I will shave you here, but you would probably get a bettor shave ten floors below this one.' "WeVJ, just out of natural eussed ness I refused to humor the fellow's whim. As a consequence he nearly rut my throat. Whether he did it through nervousness, as he claimed, or pure cussedness of his own, I fjon't know. Whatever it was, that la a peculiarity of barbers that I'd like to have explained." New York Sun. A FHEIOnT CAR'S END. Tbe Manners of American Women. In Harper's Batar, Mr. Henry James continues his candid criti cisms of the manners of American women. He says, among other things: "It has never been without profit to the Individual American, I think, to have taken In the truth, as socie ties other than his own put it before him, that In a difficult and compli cated world it is well to have had as many things as possible discrim inated and thought oat and tried and tested for us, well to remember that the art of meeting life finely Is, what the art of the dramatist has been described as being, the art of prep arations. There is always a thrill for us at home In the observed opera tion of our law that any one may be come among us, at two minuteB' no tice, anything possible or Impossible, even a gentleman, even a lady; but the deeper Impression attaches, none the less, to tbe exhibited effects of being tutored, which correct usefully our too habitual, too national belief In the sweet sanctity of free Impulse. By which I am far from hinting that every adventurous compatriot either comes back from the more lessoned and disciplined world charged with Its richer spoil or stays on It for pure love of the same; that personage be ing often unsurpassed, I fear, in the knack of faring far to gather little when not in that of extracting from alien sources, by a strange and per verse chemistry, elements of which he Is apt to have already enough and to spare. "The unmistakable thing Is, at any rate, that tho conception of manners Is at the very best, among us, a strug gle more or less fierce." "Minister" Barrett's Story. John Barrett, the new director of the Bureau of American Republics, tells a good story on himself. Some years ago he was asked by a friend to make a speech at a big barbecue which was to be held at a distant town His friend was to have been the principal speaker, but owing to Ill ness was unable to attend; so he sent Mr. Barrett instead. He tele graphed the chairman of the bar becue that "John Barrett, ex-Minis-ter to Slam, would deliver the ad dress of the day." The chairman, being acquainted with ministers of only one kind, was somewhat astonished that Mr Bar rett should be sent. When the time came for the speech he went to the front of the platform to Introduce the speaker. After consulting the telegram again to be sure of tho name, he said: "It gives me great pleasure to In troduce the principal speaker of the day. The Rev. John Barrett, ex misslonary to the benighted heathen of Slam, will now speak." Youth's Companion. Bishop Potter on Women. The Right Reverend Henry C. Pot- ! ter, Bishop of New York, Is writing j for Harper'B Bazar a remarkable I series of papers on women their . recreations, their progress, and the rest. Concerning the progress of j women, Bishop Potter says: "In a word, no more tremendous I change has como to pass in the last half-century than that which has oc curred In the realm of woman. That change has not, of course, been so I great in Western as in Eastern lands; for, in the former, those great ideas I which had been at work, as In Eng land, from the times of King John and the barons, have produced their appropriate results In the emancipa tion not alone of men, but also of women. But whether in Europe or America, two forces have been at work In connection with the status j of women, ono of them progressive, and the other conservative one of ; them demanding for both sexes equal rights and privileges, and tho 'other 1 appealing to the Bible for the Scrlp j tural warrant for regarding woman j as an inferior and for keeping her In bondage. A Chinaman, when remon- strated with for holding the women I of his house fast bound to the ancient custom of deformed feet, replied, 'My j Wife can't walk, and so she stay at 1 home;' and even an Apostle, in reclt l Ing, as becoming in woman, graces i which he accounted as pre-eminently j praiseworthy, brackets with some of I chlefest value the words 'keepers at home.' I "In other words, it is undeniable i that half a century ago the ideal i woman was domesticity; and the vtr ! tues which find their fittest sphere in the retirement of the home were ac counted of pre-eminent value. But all that is changed, and it can never be forgotten (and I pray Heaven that it never may be! ) that such services as Dorothea Dlx and Florence Night ingale and Sister Dora and their kind have illustrated were not rendered by staying at home." DOCTOR'S FOOD TALK. Selection of Food One of the Most Important Acts In Life. A Mass. doctor says: "Our health and physical and mental happiness are so largely under our personal con trol that tho proper selection of food should be and is one of the most im portant acts In life. "On this subject, I may say that I know of no food equal in digestibility and more poworful in point of nutri ment than the modern Grape-Nuts, four heaping teaspoons of which is sufficient for the cereal part of a meal, and experience demonstrates that tbe user Is perfectly nourished from one meal to another. "I am convinced that tho extensive and general use of high class foods of this character would increase tbe term of human life, add to the sura total of happiness and very consider ably Improve society in general. I am free to mention the food, for I personally know of Its value." Grape-Nuts food can be used by babes In arms or adults. It Is ready cooked, can be served Instantly, either cold with cream, or with hot water or hot milk poured over. All sorts of puddings and fancy dishes can be made with Urape-Nuts. The food is concentrated and very economical, for four heaping teaspoons are sufficient for the cereal part of a meal. Read the little book, "The Rnad to Well viile," In nags, 'ITbwe's a Reation." New Use For Chicken Feathers. That it pays to breed the best fowls, and only tho best, true to color and shape, is truly exemplified by the latest law of Damo Fashion. Some time ago the Audubon Society, with , a great amount of zeal and the flar ing of trumpets, succeeded In having , passed a law which prohibited the I wearing of wild' birds' feathers upon women's headgear. Their great hue 1 and cry about depleting tbe woods : and forests of their gay plumaged and sweet songsters to supply wom an's vanity, which they declared was both unnecessary and cruel, led to the passing of the law that forbids woman from adorning her crowning ' creation with the pretty and fancy j leathers which udded so much to her ! appearance, While the gay and happy wild birds . are singing their lay, and gaily bop ping from tree to tree in the woods : totally unmolested by the millinery hunter, the chicken, which is really a bird, but not considered as such by the mandates it the law, und is scorned by the members of the Audu bon Society, has been literally pounced upon by the millinery hunter as an able substitute for his erstwhile prey, the bird of the forest. How well the chicken, the ordinary "bird I of commerce," has succeeded In ful filling Its mission may beBt be seen by the Innumerable number of "chicken ' feathers" being worn on the new i spring hats. A prominent milliner ! ii authority for the statement that , the K-alhtjf decorations on the fall 1 and winter hats will have to be sup I plied by the hitherto despised chicken j feathers. Several unique and very j pretty specimens of tall styles were . shown by this dealer and possibly tho most "chic" confection was one which was covered with the bdy of a pure white Wyandotte, all .of the plumage beiug used except the head. 1 The wings and breast were strikingly pretty and the whole so arranged as lo form a "dream In white." Tbe average person has no concep tion a to tbe beauty of the fowl's plumage particularly the residents of New York City, who see fowls only in their market state. Tat innova tion bldB fair to become popular, and In so doing will add a material side line to the poultry business. This will be felt only by the breeder of pure blooded stock, as the require ments of the milliners demand that the plumage must be perfect and of an even color. The possibilities for combinations are numerous and the most exacting tastes can be gratified by the varous colored and bl-colored plumage only of the pure bred fowl. Social Changes In Ixndon. Mrs. George Cornwallls West, for merly better known as Lady Ran dolph Churchill, has an Interesting article In Harper's Bazar in which she tells about London society as it was and Is. Certainly no one should understand the subject better than ..he, and Bhe says soma very Interest ing things this, for example: "If material London has changed, so have the habits and tastes of the social world. The season proper, as formerly understood, began on tho 1st of May and ended on tbe last day of July. The winter session, which usually assembles in February and sits for six weeks, brought to London the legislators and their families, but from October to February the town was a desert with the exception of a few people hurrying through or do ing some Christmas shopping. As a winter resort London Is becoming most popular, not to say fashionable. AmusementB of all kinds are provid ed, an opera Beason, promenade con certs, skating rinks and exhibitions bring people up from the country. The restaurants are crowded, and when an autumn session Is provided by a Government and party greedy for work, It Is not to be wondered at that many prefer the winter in Lon don to the bleakness of the country at that time of year. Reversing tho old order of things, people are begin ning to let their town houses for the summer, that they may enjoy the nat ural beauty of the country In prefer ence to the heat, dusty and noisy pleasures of the town. Two principal reasons can easily account for this; one is the material discomfort of Lon don with its increasing traffic and noise, and the second Is the growing love for open-air life and pastimes. Motors have made the country so ac cessible that it has opened the eyes of all sensible people to the folly of wasting weeks, if not obliged to, In a hot, evil-smelling and noisy metrop olis. Even during the few weeks when the Season with a big 'S' Is at Us height, the fashionable world files from it every Saturday to Monday. Innumerable are the week-end coun try house parties, with golf, lawn ten nis or the river to amuse and keep one out of doors. Mothers with broods of unmarried daughters find this kind of entertainment a better market to take them to than the heated atmosphere of the ballroom, which the desirable partis shun for tho greater attractions of fresh air and exercise. "The lovely gardens which former ly were left by their owners to bloom unseen are now eagerly sought and revelled In. Consequently, tho cruze for gardening is much on the In crease. Every one aspires to be a Miss Jekyll or a Mrs. Boyd, and the merits of rival Japanese, rose, and friendship gardens form a favorite subject of discussion. "There is no doubt that luxury Is greatly on the increase, although It may take other forms; the mode ol living Is becoming more extravagant every day. The young people who were thought to be well provided for with 2000 a year barely subsist now on 4000 or 5000. Every one lives well, a bad dinner is a surprise. Houses are better and more artisti cally furnished, and every one enter tains more or less." Facts About Child Labor. Dr. A. S. Daniel, of the New York Infirmary for Women and Children, has dug up some facts about child labor that make a man's blood boll. In the New York sweatshopB ho has seen children required to sew on but tons at the age of three and to hem trousers at the age of six. He as serts that he found an elghteen-months-old baby earning fifty cents a week; the baby was sick, but its mother wouldn't let It be taken to the hospital, as she "needed tho money." Dr. Daniel reports that "children of three and four years work with their parents, the elder children, and pos sibly lodgers In the tenement work room. Children of six stitch the hems of trousers, and those of three or four, when not sewing on buttons, pull out the basting threads. "These little ones, In artificial flower making, put the strings through the potals and leaves, do the pasting of boxes, and put the papar over the rough cardboard. Then, too, they press tobacco leaves, generally standing up to do It, and this work they do for hours at a time. The child labor laws do not protect these children, as they are not employed In shops or factories. Tenements are supposed to have a labor license, but It would require an inspector at the entrance and on the, roof of every ten ement to prevent work going on in unlicensed tenements. The only rem edy is absolute prohibition of any but factory work." ' v This damnable outrage defies the utmost resources of imprecation. It lifts Hood's "Song of a Shirt" to the rank of a lyric. It makes Victor Hugo's chapter about the Tbunurdlers and little Cosetto a dainty pastel in prose. Nothing that was ever written compares for grim horror with those awful sentences, so artlessly put forth by Mr. Daulel, and if New York hasn't manhood enough left in it to put a stop to this ciime agaltst child hood, It doesn't belong in Amertca. Boston Transcript. Bring Up In the Bone Yard to Tie Burned or Carted Away Piecemeal. A Big Four live stock car w3 shoved on a repair track In he Cy press yards of the Missouri Pacific Railroad ono dav last week rir.o ! end was battered In. thA dilna m.m bulged out and the heavy timbers supporting the floor were broken and splintered. It was out of service, as any one could plainly see, although tho big capital letters, "C C C C," looked boldly even defiantly at the cars standing on tho numerous stor age tracks near by, as If to sav: "They will fix me up and I will be good for many more runs before I quit this business." But as the car rolled on down tho repair track It creaked and g.-oaned as If from many aches snd pains. At last it bumped hard against a heavy Bteel coal car, which was waiting for a new draw bar. Then It seemed to sigh and say pathetically: "I am all in." "Hello, old 1SB5, back again. 1 see," exclaimed the repair foreman. He stopped and looked at the car critically. He shook his head and chuckled; "Well, It's you for the bone yard this time, Btire." He gave I a sign to his gang of workmen. The boneyard, aB It is called, is tho place where all freight cars miiBt to, soon or late If they do not hap pen to bo caught In a wreck and smashed to pleceB or burned along the right of way. They may cross ind recross the continent, Journey from the Lakes to the Gulf, take many side trips on branch lines, tie ap In railroad yards or private twitches for years and years. But at last, when they are old and worn out, 5r battered and splintered beyond re pair, they all bring up in tho bone yard, and there they are burned. Five freight cars were ablaze In the boneyard when the Big Four car was dumped there that afternoon. Workmen first stripped It of every thing of any value that could be used In car repairing the side doors, the better part of the lumber, the air brakes and couplings, the springs and lome of the Iron. Then they rolled the body off the trucks and It crashed down the embankment and landed near a pile of scrap Iron where an other car had been burned. Four or five boys and two women, with axes, made a rush for It and began ham mering off the splintered boards und carrying them away to their homes for kindling and fuel. By and by a man built a fire under each end of the car, and then the flames crackled about it until nothing was lett but a, pile of bent and twisted Iron rods, bolts, nuts and nails. "When a car Is out of service, or is wrecked bo it will cost more to re pair it than it Ib worth, we send it to the boneyard," tho foreman ex plained. "That Is the easiest and quickest way to dispose of it. Of course we mako use of the trucks, the draw bars, springs, brake coup lings', and somo of the wood work, but je always burn what Is left." "Do all the railroad companies burn their worn out cars?" the lore man was asked by a bystander. "Some of them do; some of them don't," ho replied. "Some of the roads strip the cars of everything of value, then tear them to pieces and sell the wood at so much for a load. But we burn them. We send an aver age of a dozen cars to the boneyard every month from these yards. I do not know just how many they send to the boneyard at other places on the system. Ask me something easy! I could not begin to tell how many freight cars the Missouri Pacific owns. Our business here Is to repair cars and we repair hundreds. I suppose the company buys new cars aB fast as the old ones are put out of ser vice. New cars are coming to us all the time. There Is a string of them over there." He pointed to a track on which stood a freight train that had just pulled into tbe yards. "What Is the average life of a freight car? Well, there you've got me. I don't know. Somo of them don't last long; some of them last for years." "What do you do when a car be longing to another railroad is tou badly wrecked or worn out. to re pair?" "If a car comes to us from another road and it is in such a condition that we can't get It off our hands, why, there Is nothing to do but stray It." Kansas City Star.

ThJ demand for hollow bricks aud building blocks for house construc tion has Induced glass manufactur ers to put hollow glass bricks on the market, and they promise to be used extensively for novel and artistic ef fects. The first glass bricks being olid proved a failure on account of their cost, but the hollow glass bricks can be made at much less expense. They are lighter and stronger ihun clay bricks and are such excellent non-conductors that walls built of them are proof against dampness, sound, heat and cold. The bricks are sealed hermetlcutly when hot aud are placed in walls with a colorless mor tar made of special glass.

NATURE PROVIDES FOR SICK WOMEN a more potent, remedy in the roots and herbs of the field than was ever produced from drugs. In the good old-fashioned days of our grandmothers few drugs were used in medicines and Lydia E. Pinkham. of Lyun. Mass., in her study of roots and herbs and their power over disease discovered and gave to the women of the world a remedy for their peculiar ills more potent and efficacious than any combination of drugs. LYDIA E. P INKHAM Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound is an honest, tried and true remedy of unquestionable therapeutic value. During Its record of more than thirty years. Its long llst of actual cures of those serious ills peculiar to women, entitles Lydld"E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound to the respect and confidence of every fair minded person and every thinking woman. When women are troubled with Irregular or painful functions, weakness, displacements, ulceration or inflammation, backache, flatulency, general debility, indigestion or ncrvons prostration, they should remember there Is one tried and true remedy, Lydia E. Pink ham's Vegetable Compound. No other remedy in the country has such a record of cures of female ills, and thousands of women residing in every part of the United States bear vvillhig testimony to tho f mderful virtue of Lydia E. Pink ham's Vegetable compound and what it has done for them. Mrs. Pinkham Invites all sick women to write her for advice. She has guided thousands to health. For twenty-five years she has been advising sick women free of charge. She is the daughter-iu-la-.v of Lyilia E Plnk hnm and as her ussistant for years before her decease advised under her inimedinte direction. Address.

Worse Thun I'seless. James J. Hill, the railroad presi dent, was onee riding at night on the rear end of hlR private car when his train passed over a long wooden trestle. A freight train had gone over a few minutes before, and Mr. Hill remembered he hail given orders that after the passing of nil trains over this trestle a track patrolman should go over the structure with a bucket of wnter and extinguish any embers that might have fallen from the locomotive, Though the Hill special was going along at forty miles nn hour, the alert eye of the president caught sight of a hole In the bottom of the bucket as the watchman. In the moonlight, threw the vessel over one shoulder. Mf. Hill ordered the train back to the trestle and summoned the watchman to htm.

What Is tho food value of a thought? Dr. John Alfred Uradshear, the famous lens maker, says the day will come when such figures as we now deem large or email shall seem crude, says the Chicago Tribune. Wo learn from the physicist that an atom of hydrogen can be broken up into nearly 1200 corpuscles, an atom of mercury Into 200,000 corpuscles: that the atoSn of radium ha stored within it .-.n energy of which our 1 older science did not dream. Further more, our advanced physicists or at I least, some of them have relegated ' matter to a new Held and tell us that negative electricity Is matter that electrons and matter are Incontro- vertlble terms. Lord ftelvln says of I the atom: "If wo raise a drop of water to the size of the earth and raiss tbe atom in the samo proportion, then will it be some place between the size of a marble und a cricket ball. If you fill a tiny vessel one centimcier tubs, about three-quarters , of an Inch, with hydrogen corpuscles you can plpoa therein In round num- ! bers 52 5 octilllona of them. If these corpuscles are allowed to run out of th-i vesssl at the rate of 1100 pet second it will require 17,000,000,. I 000,000 years to empty.

Answer: Take a sheet of good writ ing uaper, moisten It well with clear water and place U upon a hard, smooth surface, Tuch as glass, tin, stone, etc. After removing carefully ull air bubbles from the sheet place upon it a dry sheet of equal size, and upon i in do the writing with a sharp potato pencil. Then destroy the dry ; aper written upon, and allow the wot sheet to dry In the air (not at the heat of a stove or lamp). When dry not. a trace of the writing will be visi ble. But on moistening the sheet again with clear water and holding it against the light the writing cau he read in a clear traubparency. It dis appears again after being dried to the air, and may be reproduced a number of times by moistening. Should, however, the sheet be too much heated, at the stove or lamp, for lu stance, tbe writing will disappear, never to reappear afan.
