To remove sunburn wash the face at night with either sour milk or butter- milk and in the morning with a weak bran tea to which a little cologne has been added. Persons who are troubled with prickly heat will experience great ré- lief if the parts affected are dusted over three or four times a day with common rye flour. A glass of milk to which has been added a raw egg beaten light, a little sugar and grated nutmeg will relieve the physical exhaustion so often expe- rienced in warm weather.

The spider won the contest after losing two legs. The fight occurred on a rail fence on William Shindle’s farm. Two boys were attracted by the combat, and gradually the audience grew unti there were about 50 spectators, Many wagers were made cn the result, the spider being the favorite. It be: lieved that the fight was caused by the caterpillar getting caught in the spid er’s web, Being wedged in the meshes of its antag .nist’s parlor, the ecaterpilla: was at great disadvantage and coulc fight only from the one spot, while the spider could slide up and down anc attack the caterpillar from all sides The caterpillar fought with its heac and tail. The spider punished with its deadly stings. As a last resort, phia North Amer is says the Philadel ¢an, the caterpillar attempied to encirele opponent The spider dodged right and left Then both closed in. When they sep! arated two of the spider's legs wepe Then they elipched again : and by a quick move the spider got al the rear of the caterpillar and rolie¢ it up like a piece of earpet, i Then the spider earvied its opponent in trivmph to a secluded hale in the j tepee, Later a feast was served in 1he spider's den, IT IS ROUGH ON FIREMEN. its missing.

A sign that one sees in many English ale houses conveys the same hint to those who desire credit, and yet does not drag in the sacred name. This sign I speak of is often acccmpanied by the picture of a faithful watchdog lying dead on the ground, and the legend reads: “*0ld Trust is dead; bad pay killed him. “The ” difference between the two signs,” replied his companion, “it seems to me, is the national differ- ‘nee between British humor and Yan- kee wit.

It is being carried across the Atlantic piecemeal; and, a'though it will take many years to remove the whole of Scotland, considerable portions are being conveyed at not infrequent in- tervals. The Land of Cakes comes to the United States in the character of bal- last; and the other day as much as a thousand tons was thus brought to New York on the Allan line steamer Taurentian. Nearly every week a large quantity is shipped. This is because of the absence of freight. Shipowpers would much rather leave the land of the Scots at home, but without ballast their ves- sels might turn turtle.
