Having an old frrn case, with sides and top all glass, we filled the bottom "with earth, placing a few sticks firmly in the soil, so that the spiders would have some projections to secure their webs to. The first spider we placed in the case was a very fine specimen, marked on the top of the abdomen. We took her from an old laurel tree in which there were several young ones. The first day she remained crawling about on the ground; but on looking next morning we found a perfect web, spun horizoutally across the case, about half wa' up; and on magnifying the ends of the web that were fastened to the glass which was very smooth we discovered the spider had frayed out the ends of the weblines, and had fastened them to the glass by means of a gummy substance, thus giving it a greater power of adhesion than by trusting to a single cord. We placed a small house-fly in the case, where it soon became, entangled in the web, the spider immediately rushing down, seiz ing and killing it. She then carried it to the top of the glass, and in four minutes had sucked all the moisture out of it. She then wrapped it loosely round with web, leaving only one line to it, by which she carefully lowered it for about two inches through a space in the net; then, cutting tlie line with her hind feet, she let it fall to the ground. After this we placed four flies in the case, three of which were speedily caught. The spider having evidently earen enough, she disposed of these flies in a different manner from the first.' Running to each in turn, she turned the fly rapidly round and round with her front legs; at the same time two distinct webs kept winding round the fly from the spinnerets, until it was incased in such a bag of web that the fly could not be seen. She then hung them in different parts of the web, eat ing two of them the same night. Thinking the flies so wrapped up would be air-tight, we detached one from the web, leaving it exposed to the air -for three days. Although the weather was very hot we found on carefully opening the case that the dead fly was quite fresh, and. when smashed between the lingers, was in a perfectly juicy condition. This clearly shows their wonderful instinct in pre serving food for future meals. ; One day we placed in the case a i large meat flv, which immediately flew through the web, tearing it in a de structive manner. The spider at once came down and repaired it, and in a few minutes the fly was once more in the web, struggling hard. This time the spider came witidn about half an inch of the fly, made a strong cord fast to three of the outside lines of the net, and then running quickly over the back of the fly she made the cord fast on the other side. On this con! we noticed tiny beads hanging, of a clear looking substance, which, as the fly Struggled, adhered to its wings, im peding its movements. Leaving the ny tor nearly two miuutes, by which time he was nearly exhausted, the spider once more drew near, and quickly had him by the back. Sway ing her body from side to side, at the same time she soon bound him with three cords, which she guided about over the fly with her hind feet in a wonderfully rapid manner. She then pierced him on the side of the trunk, from which place she did not again loose until the fly was dead. Making a slight repast, she bound the remain:; securely in the web for future meals. Chamber)? s Journal. : JiisS-Siiftt-rs of Pelting. Gold, silver, ami other metals, etc., are ofteu found in the most unlikely places'. Last year I noticed persons digging in the stream that flows in the moat close to the Chieu Men, in search of gold. The situation was explained by the continguity of the gold-shops, as the sweepings of such places are thrown into the moat. There are in Peking a band of some three hundred men who follow, during the four win ter months, a business which consists in brushing up the dry dust of our streets, seiving or fanning it, and make a decent living of 20 cents a day on an average. By far the largest quantity of metal found is, of course, iron, in the form of dust, pellets, nails, etc., which is sold at 4 large Peking cash per catty. . Next to iron they find copper, silver, gold, and precious stones. The latter are almost valueless, being crushed by the carts. After scraping together and winnowing three or four small basket shovels (po-chi) they will secure about a handful of iron debris. This they deposit in a bag: which they carry around their waists, and on returning home they use a loadstone to extract all the iron, and afterward submit the remainder to a washing process, when the silver, the main article sought, is at once seen. On the above calcula tions there is, therefore, an army of these metal-gatherers making $(if) daily, and this, multiplied by four m.-oths, gives over $7,000. Here is ai. .! ..,. 1st unknown trade proving sufficiently lu crative. The men are scattered over all the city on the cart as well as on the foot-passage thorou.:;' i: "s. North China Daily News.

EARLY HOMESTEAD CLAIMANTS. How The I'ioncerH of The West liegin Life The Dug-out. To begin with, the habitation of the homesteader is either a dugout or a house built of squares of sod taken from the prairie Nebraska or Kansas lirick, as they are facetiously termed. The dugout consists of a hole dug in I the side of a canon or any sort of a ! depression on the prairie which will serve as a wind-break. This hole is roofed across, about on a level with the prairie, wi h inch boards, and these are covered with sod. A foot or so of stove-pipe protruding from the roof is the sole indication of a human habitation. One room srenerally serves all the purposes of the homesteader and his family. If he prospers for a season, he adds to the frout of his abode by erecting walls of sod on the side and putting in a new front,the old one serving as a partition between the two rooms. This is considered a com modious dwelling. After riding over a quarter section looking for an owner, espying such an abode, and guiding your team carefully down a break-neck descent to the front door, would it sur prise you, upon entering this hole in the ground, to find, for instance, a modern organ with an imposing cathe dral back towering high in one corner of the room? But this is no cause for astonishment very frequently organs and ornate designs in furniture are to he found in the dnjrouts. Or, if the lady of the house should invite von to i remain for the meeting of the literary club there in the evening, would you stare at that? Not - at all. Literary clubs, which the members ride all the way from five to twenty miles to at tend, aud where they discuss every-, thing from tiie latest political problem ! to the most abstruse point in meta- i physics, arc quite the regular thing! with our homesteaders. But to behold this life so full of paradoxes in the ! herght of its incongruousness you ! should be a spectator in the dugout when a neighborhood dance is. in full blast. The earthen walls have been 1 skilfully tapestried for the occasion j with calico, and wheu the fun begins ! the clay floor speedily responds to the capering of -the many twinkling feet, and there arises a cloud of dust that would stifle an Indian. But, bless you, they don't mind a bit of dust. A pol- j ished floor and the most perfect system j of ventilation attainable could not add to their enjoyment, j The homesteaders are very honest, j You can leave a house unlocked at all times and your stores are perfectly j safe with fheexeeptiou of what liquor 1 you may have on hand for medicinal ' purposes. In other words, the home-' steader will steal whisky every time. ; As a class they are neig iboriy, kind to one in distress, aud exceedingly hos- j pitab'e. j But it must not be supposed that all j homesteaders live in dugouts or sleep six or seveu in a room; such experienc- cs attach to the first year or two of j frontier life, more thauto any later pe-; riod. Many sightly, co nmodious, and comfortable sod houses have beeu ! built. The wails are usually two feet in thickness, the roof shingled, doors and windows set into the walls, aud the house plastered inside, sometimes outside, altogether making a very neat and desirable residence. These strnc- tures, too, are free from the annoyan ces of dugouts, in which are found all manner of insects and rodents. Occa sionally a rattlesnake will burrow through the earthen s'des, and coil himseif snugly in the bedclothes, where you will find him on a cool morning Sum intruders are rare, but there are some people who strenuously object to even rare visits of this sort; such arc usually energetic enough to get out of the old house and into a new one be fore spending many months in an abode so uncomfortably near to na- : ture's heart. Frank II. Spearman, in Harper's Magazine. Slaking-Petroleum Solid. Experiments are still being made under the direction of the Russian gov ernment, with the view of finding a process, at once practical as well as desirable on the score of economy and cleanliness, of solidifyingthe petroleum used as fuel. According to the" report made by Dr. Kaufl'mann, who has had the principal charge of these experi ments, a successful method of accom plishing the desired result consists sim ply in .heating the oil, and afterward adding from 1 to 3 per cent of soap. The latter dissolves in the oil,, and the liquid on cooling forms a mass having the appearance of cement and the hard ness of compact tallow. The product is hard to light, burns slowly and with out smoke, but develops much heat, and leaves about 2 per cent of a hard, residuum. New York Sun. Consumption Cured. An old physician, retiied from practice, having hail placed in his hands by an East India missionary the formula of a, simple vegetable remedy for the speedy and per inaiieiit cure of consumption, bronchitis, catarrh, asthma and ali throat and lutif; af fections, also a positive and radical cure for nervous debility and all nervous complaints, after having tested its wonderful curative powers in thousands of cases, has felt it his duty to make it known to his suffering fel lows. Actuated by this motive and a desire to relieve human suffering, I will send free of charge, to all who desire it, this receipe. in German, French, or English, with full directions tor preparing and using.

The day's wages of a skilled mechan ic in Astoria, Oregon, will buy a barrel of flour. Santa Barbaba, Cal., has an artesian well which yields over 1,000,000 gallons of water daily. During the recent cyclone in Missis sippi a. negro boy was blown off his mule into a creek. Colonel Cash, of South Carolina, had seven duels arranged for when he sud denly fell ill and died. There died the other day at Chili, Inch, a pony of the mustang variety that was foaled in 1S37. Even the Chinese have caught the base ball fever, and they have organ ized a club at Marysville, Cal. A St. Louis doctor says that cocaine not only destroys the will power, but will make a villain out of the honestest man in the world. Roan Dog. the big medicine man of the Sioux, finding his mother dead and his reputation gone, sent a bullet through his heart last week. The phylloxera is spreading in the vineyards of California. Another dis ease called root rot has also appeared to aid in the work of destruction. Joseph Pinion, of Temple, Ala., found a rock about twenty miles from that place in 18G8 that would cut iron, and he says there is a great deal of it, A man in New Jersej", who was in very destitute circumstances, applied to the town for help. He asked for some money and a pair of patent leath er slippers. At Hamilton, Out., a man who bor rowed an umbrella and did not return it has just been sentenced to jail for one year. A timely warning to the wise is sufficient. The most common stock expression in the language is probably "Well," used as an interjection. It may be given more meanings thau any other meaningless word of a few letters, Just before water was reached in the new artesian well at Montezuma, Ga., some strange articles came from it, consisting of lumps of coal, fish scales and bone, clear amber-colored rosin and bits of soft wood. There has been a long search for a sunken rock in the I!d Sea upon which two British steamers foundered. It has at last been found. It is a very small coral patch with only lifteen feet of water over it. The French are acknowledged to have the finest guns and projectiles in Europe. Their Fermi ny shell has been shot through an armor plate twenty inches thick, and come out with its steel point uninjured. In the old church of San Miguel, Santa Fe, N. M., is a bell that was cast in Spain in the year 1356. It was brought to Mexico by Cortez, and af ter the fail of Montezuma Indian slaves carried it to New Mexico. Americans are becoming more and more popular in Paris. As in London, they are the fashion. The spread-eagle citizen is less conspicuous, and the present quiet, observing tourist is wel comed with admiration. Ivy planting and tree planting make college commencements the true time of "arbor days." Some love for trees may be the result of the ceremonies, and arbor day orators may be produced from the graduating classes. An early portrait of the poet Brown ing, soon to be published in a collec tion of his poems, is said to represent a youngish man, with dark hair, rather ill-shaped whiskers, aud a decidedly Hebraic cast of countenance. A well-known London' firm of re freshment contractors recently adver tised for 4,000 additional waiters, nnd H' 000 applications were received in re spouse, the whole of the candidates claiming to have had experience. The largest single check ever given was by John D. Taylor, treasurer of l ho Pennsylvania Company. It was drawn payable to order of Lee Living ston & Co., for $14,256,196 on the Na National Bank of Commerce, of New York City. The lumber from which the gallows was constructed on which John Brown was executed is owned by a resident of Harper's Ferry, who is waiting for some relic hunter to come and take it off his hands. The modest sum of $1, 500 is asked for it. One of the finest collections of coins in the South is owned by Captain Bas corn Myrick, of Americus, Ga. He started it a number of years ago from a bag of old Spanish and French coins that he received over the counter while cashier of a bank in Forsyth. There is quite a colony of well-to-do colored men in Atlanta, Ga., numbers of whom have made small fortunes since the close of the war. The ma jority of them were slaves and started life poor, but pluck and persistence have given them a firm standing finan cially. , . A moccasin was killed near Smith ville, Ga.. and out of curiosity the boys made a post-mortem examination of his body. To their amazement they discovered that he had swallowed a snake of length nearly equal to his own, less the head, which had been chewed off. A cordial farmer, who is preparing to receive city visitors, says: "Our poor relations have written to say that they want to inhale the country air for about three months. Well, if they can live on it let them come. We can lodge the last one of them, as we have plenty of house room." Something that pays better7than a gold mine is a large ledge of mica lo cated just west of Moscow, Idaho. It was discovered a few years ago by an Italian, who sold it for a trifle to W. A. Moody. The ledge was next pur chased by a Chicago firm, who paid $125,000 for it, and have since taken a fortune out of it every year. A new process for preparing beans for food has heen devised. The beans are reduced to flour, which is boiled until it attains a certain consistency, and the name of "enrd" is given to it. The article is simple, cheap and nutri tious, and is much relished by the Chi nese. It has a large percentage of casein c, and is a good substitute for milk; , ------- A.
