Curious Habits of 8pid*rs.
The water spider carries air down
with It when It dives. Dr. McCook
saw one remain forty-flve minutes un-
der the water. One water spider
builds u uest under the water attached
to the stem of some plant and In the
shape of a diving bell, with the open-
ing downward. It tills this bell with
ulr by taking down a bubble at a time.
Coming to the surface, It incloses an
air bubble under Its body and Instant
ly descends. Getting under the nest,
the bubble Is allowed to escape Into It,
and this process continues until the
nest Is full of ulr. The spider then
lays Its eggs there, Inclosed In a co-
coon, nnd leaves them to grow In this
underwater pslare, safe from all fly-
ing foes. When these water spiders
are seen under water they look like
little h:t*!s of shining silver. Little
bubbles of air seem to cling among the
hairs of their bodies. As spiders. like
Insects, breathe the air at little holes
along the whole length of the body,
they can easily make use of these billa-
bles of air for breathing.—London

Drinking Cups of the Ancients.
Silver cups made by such famous
workmen as Myron, Myos and Mentor
were preferred to gold cups. They
were very beautifully engraved and of
workmanship which has never been
equaled. When gold cups were enrich-
ed with precious stones they some-
Mines became peers of the engraved
silver vessels. Of all sizes, shapes and
designs were these drinking cups, and
their value was measured more by
their form and design than the mate-
rial of which they were made. Some
had two handles, some only one and
some none at all. They were large and
imall, low and tall, narrow and ob-
long. They were purely the product of
the varying fancy of that prodigious
ago, which seemed to scorn uniform-
ity. The early Greeks and Romans
drnnk hot water from cups, as we now
drink coffee and tea, these beverages
being unknown to them. Coffee origi-
nated with the Assyrians, and tea was
first used by the Chinese at a very
early age.—National Food Magazine.

Curzon and Davitt.
Once In the house of commons, when
George Curzon was making some de-
fense at, to alleged harsh treatment by
Turks of Cretan prisoners, he was lu
terrapted by a query from Mr. Davitt,
"Were these prisoners handcuffed?"
Quick as lightning came the reply.
"Yes, and some honorable gentlemen
ought to be no strungers to handcuffs."
This was of course the signal for a vio-
lent parliamentary tempest A day or
two after Mr. Curzon went up to Swift
MacNelll an 1 expressed his sorrow at
having used the expression and his de-
sire to apologize for It In the most
public manner. "Why," he said, "I
thought the Interruption came from
you and thit you, of course, would
not mind. ! was horrified when I dis-
covered that It was Davitt who had
made the re nnrk. Of course I would
not be cap- le of Joking on the sub
Ject of lr i"Nonrnent and handcuffs

Making Men's Hata.
Men's It stiff or soft alike, are
made from the fur of the rabbit. A

or less the shape of the crown of a
derby hat nnd whose sides are cov

this against the cone In the form or

As 1 opened the door I saw a man
with a burglar's mask kneeling before
the safe.
The next moment he had turned
and shoved a revolver Into my face.
"Throw up your hands!" he said.
I did so.
"You understand," he remarked
pleasantly, "that I can. In the present
circumstances, loot the premises at
my pleasure!"
I confessed that he could.
"You realize that you are at my
mercy?" he asked.
"I do," I replied.
"You acknowledge that I can blow
out your brains If I like?" he per-
sisted.
"Certainly," I admitted.
"Well, then," he said, "you will be

Therewith, pocketing his revolver, he

Marquis de Charette And hi* brlte, who was Miss Susanne Hennlng,
daughter of James W. Hennlng, a rich New York banker, formerly from
Kentucky. When the marquis told M r. Henning a year ago that he sought
the hand of his daughter, he was turned down, but he asserted that he
would marry her in spite of the opposition. Two days later the marquis,
with Miss Hennlng in the care of a chaperone, were on their way to
Paris, where they remained until the father consented to the announce
ment of their engagement. They the n returned to America, where the
marriage was solemnized In St. Patri ck's Cathedral and was an Imposing
society affair. The above photograph was taken when the couple were out
for a walk the day before the marriage.

tn the servants' hall of a great man
slon, sayo London M. A. P. No prima
donna must be addressed by an In-
ferior, and the presentation of bou-
quets Is a delicate matter, regulated
with dne regard for the feelings of
the ladies. The claque still prevails-
but, as only the less eminent singers
employ these "aids to success," nobody
Is ever deceived. The management
frnows nothing of these men, who are
hired by the singers to go Into the
gallery nnd applaud their employer*
vociferously. The custom is very com-
mon on the continent where It also
takes the more objectionable form of
hiring men to hiss rivals off the stage.
Happily that sort of thing would not
be tolerated In England, and so the
claque Is confined to the minor mem
bers of the company, who bring over
with them an Insatiable desire for ap-
plause and are so determined to get It
that they leave nothing to chance. The
claquers receive a fee of 2 shillings.
In addition to the payment for theli
seats.

Couldn't Pass Him.
Dr. Caleb Munn back in 1803 or 1801
was making a professional call one
night at a road house, his horse and
buggy standing outside, when a young
fellow staggered out and mounted th#
horse and started off at a wild gallop,
not noticing the wagon attached tc
the horse. After a time the young
man realized that a wagon was fol
lowing close In his rear, so he held In
the steed and shouted:
"Go on past If you want to—If you're
In such a hurry!"
Of course the rattling ceased, and no
body responded, and nothing was vis
lble In the darkness, so be lashed the
horse into a gallop, saying, "They'l.
never overtake us." The wagon clat
tered on behind up hill and down dale.
When I>r. Munn overhauled him, hav
tng followed on a fleet ho.*se, the
young fellow said:
"I was bound that man In the wagon
should not pass, because he wouldn't
when I offered to let him. I don't bear
him now, and I guess he drove off the
bridge."—Newark News.
Meal Monday.
The students In the Scotch unlversl
ties annually enjoy their "Meal Mon
day," but few of the undergraduates
remember how tho holiday was Insti-
tuted. In fa roff days, when learning
was really nourished ou "a little oat
meal," the students before leaving
home for the universities provided
themselves with a quantity of meal
sufficient to make "halesome parrltch"
half through the session. By the end
of January their "meal klsts" had run
low, and "a day off" was given In
which the student was expected to
Journey halfway home, meeting at
this point Ills parent or brother, who
brought *lth him a second load of the
simple diet The holiday was fixed ou
a Mondax as to allow the under
graduate the U-neflt of the preceding
Batunlay In times past the Journeys
would often extend to fifty or sixty
miles. The modern student g« es homo

The Biggest Cracker.
The "kasabi" torta (we get our word
"tart" from torta) of Hispanic-America
Is the biggest regularly made cracker
on earth. It Is made from the kasabi
root and lightly fired In cakes about
the size of a small parasol.
A cracker for a hat—such Indeed Is
sometimes the use made by the Latin
peons of the kasabi torta when need
Ing a temporary sunshade (sombrero)
The torta Is always made bowl shaped
so It can be balanced on the head with
out any particular effort—and provid-
ed no wind Interferes. Kaln, how-
ever, quickly soaks and collapses this
singular edible headgear. — Baker's

A miner took his boots for repairs,
but was not In a hurry to pay for

that he bad called for the money for
the boots she shouted Into the hous«

It Worked Out Badly.
There Is such a thing as carrying
the discount business too far, as tho
smart advertising agent of a new pnb-
Ucatlon discovered.
"As I understand," said the mer-
chant. "your rate is $50 a page for a
single Insertion and you deduct i per
cent from this rate for each additional
Insertion?"
"That is correct." replied the agent
"The total rate decreases by 1 per
cent for each Insertion contracted for
after the first," he went on to explain.
"If you agree to take it ten times
there will be nine Insertions after the
first and you will get 0 per cent off
the rate. In other words, you will
only have to pay $45.60 each time."
"The Idea commends Itself to me,"
said the merchant thoughtfully, "nnd
If you will stick to that plan I will be
glad to make a contract with you to
use a full page for 101 consectulve la
sues."
The agent was Jubilant until he
thought It over. Then he wasn't This

How a Submarine Dives.
All submarine vessels are brought to
a condition of readiness to submerge
by taking In water ballast In suitably
arranged nnd controlled tanks. This
causes more of the boat to sink below
the water's surface and finally leaves
her with only a small part of her con
nlng tower out of water. The remain-
ing part above water represents what
Is called "reserve buoyancy." This
buoyancy varies generally from 200 to
1,000 pounds, depending upon the size
of the craft, and It Is to overcome the
permanent tendency to rise represent-
ed by this reserve that pressure is
brought to bear upon the submerging
rudders or the hydroplanes In order to
make the boat Blnk after she Is once
put In motion. It Is the height out of
water or reserve of buoyancy of the
submersible which gives her her su-
perior sea keeping qualities, which per-
mits the vessel to be driven safely on
the surface at higher rates of speed
and which contributes In other ways
to the efficiency, the habltablllty and
the military value of the craft—Har-
per's Weekly.

fortune or death, lait as the Egypt in m
reprcMented Minerva under the forn
of an owl the Athenians, who wey
under the care of this goddess, looked
upon the appearance rtf the owl as a
favorable omen. It therefore forme*
