SEASONABLE SUGGESTIONS.
The pain resulting from the sting ot!
a bee may be instantly relieved by ap-
plying a small piece of raw onion to
the affected part.
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.
Tan may be removed from the face
and hands by mixing magnesia in soft
watar to the consistency of paste,
whieh should then he spread on and
allowed to remain for a minute or two;
then wash off with castile-soap suds
and rinse in soft water,

SPIDER KILLS CATERPILLAR. |
Battle Royal Between Them in Which
Former Was Easily the
Victor,
An exciting battle between a spider
and a caterpillar, which lasted nearly
an hour, was witnessed by a erowd of
men and boys in West Manayunk, I'a.
one day lately. 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.

their attention called to a sign over
the bar which read: “In God we
trust; all gthers cash.” “That sign
smacks too much of sacrilege,” sad
one, “It’s witty, perhaps, but 1
don’t like it. 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

‘nee between British humor and Yan-

SCOTLAND COMING.
thiploads of It Are Being Frequently
Dumped in New York
Harbors,
Tt is a fact that Scotland is literally
being transferrec to America. 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. While for com-
mercial purposes the soil is absolutely
worthless, it has to be paid for at

- Gevernment Employes,
Two federal departments disburse
almost exactly the same amount in
salaries, the treasury department and
the interior department, in Washing-
ton, $5,000,000 each. But the treasury
department has 400 more employes
than the interior department, the
average rate of compensation in the
treasury service, in which there are
many women employed, being less
than in the other.
