The ca rousa had been heavy and pro longed. At length, with credit ex hausted," the unnerved and debilitated shaver had been compelled to betake himself again to the- exercised of his calling Just -then the minister, a kindly old man of the paternal school, heard that TammiS; had "sworn off the drink," and .he 'considered that the' opportunity would now be f avoid able, to do as my mother loved to do tnat is," "improve the occasion." Bent on this laudable professional mission, he sallied forth. r On .entering the humble shaving !. Eh op of the remorseful Tammas, how ever, his kindly heart was smitten with compunction at the sight of the wretch before him. , Poor Tammas indeed looked a melancholy specta cle. Trembling with unstrung nerves, shakin&r as jf ma Dais v. his bleared. bloodshot eyes looked up-piteously at the minister, who. only thinking that it was ;;no good pouring water on a drowned rat," swiftly determined to spare poor Tammas for the nonce and reserve -his sacerdotal censure till ..the peor "disjakit creatur" was in a oetter co"ution to profit by a good, straight talking to. He deter mined, therefore, to make a kindly pretense that he had con In for a shave and sat down, feeling assured that some opportunity would pres enUy be afforded of saying bis "word in season... Now, Tammas' was not unaware of what was passing ; in tbe simple old minister's mind, and if the truth must be told lie was not so repent ant as he looked. He was assuming a" good deal of the broken down and battered appearance which he pre sented. So ;with a look of shame- tacea penitence, with trembling fin gers and with silent contrition ap parent, he proceeded to envelop the minister s neck in the towel and then began to lather his visitor in ap proved tonsoriaj. fashion. vThe min ister eyed him with a mildly re proachful glance, which' expressed volumes to Tammas' conscious sense of emit. .Now he came to the critical part of the operation. He felt his nerves jumping, but by dint of a strong ef fort of will and holding one unsteady hand with the ' other he managed to bring the razor pretty deftly down the ample expanse of both the cler ical chops. - But, alas I when the wabbling blade came to the more intricate manipu lation oi tne double chin, the refrac tory nerves gave a disconcerting jerk, and, lol out gflshed the crimson fluid over the snowy napkin. Now, thought the good minister now is my time. Here is the opportunity I have been waiting for. So, address ing tne abashed looking Tammas, who expected a torrent of indignant wrath, the simple, kindly man just ventured on a very mild remon strance. "Ah, Tammas," said 'he. "ye 'see what the effects o' strong drink are noo." Tammas' spirits at once rose. B o knew the worst was past, and his roady p umor came to the rescue in a flash of inspiration, as very demurely, but with a spice of lurking drollery, he gravely replied: Deed, aye, meenister.-Itniak sthe skin unco tender."

Found In the Sea and In Ponds as Well as on Land. In the sea there are plenty of spi ders. They are found crawling upon seaweeds along the shore. Their bodies are very small and their legs long and threadlike. There is a spe cies of axachnid that lives under the water in fresh ponds. It makes its home in an empty shell of a water enail, closing the opening with a web" cf varnished silk to fceep tne water out. Other aquatic spiders spread silken filaments under water to en trap insects. In New Zealand there is a black spider with a red spot on its stomach, which is supposed to have a bite fatal to human beings. The same animal has a similar repu tation elsewhere, though undeserv edly. It is found in this country. All spiders are venomous, but none of them is deadly. The spider of ill repute above mentioned is afflicted with constitutional hydrophobia. It will go into a fit if touched with wa ter, though other species will drink eagerly if a drop of that fluid is offer ed on a straw. A severe spider bite produces symptoms like those of lock jaw. In the tropics live great hairy spiders. Some of them weigh half a pound, with a spread of legs vide enough to cover a tea plate. Most of them spin no webs, but dig a hole in the ground, line it with silk and fit it with a trapdoor bo artfully made as to hinge, bevel edge and 6pring that -it is almost impossible to find the opening. In some cases they actual ly plant seeds on the dainty portal for the purpose of concealing it with growing plants. The mission of spiders in the world is doubtless to keep" down the .Hies, which would otherwise swarm over the earth. Only the females spin webs. The males are about one- twentieth the size of .the females, the sole purpose of their existence being that of reproduction, Spiders are very fond of the musip of stringed instruments because to iheir ears it resembles the buzzing of captive flies. Their greatest enemies are wasps, which paralyze them by stinging them. Then the wasp plants the spider in a bole; lays an eggjbe-. 6ide her and covers her up. Tn young wasp grub on being hatched feeds on tne ooay or ine spiaer. y a warm autumn day the air is some times full of spiders' webs. Certain spepjes of arachnids attach threads to the groun and penriit the breeze to blow them away. Thus they remai for days suspended, high in the air and mUes away from their anchor age. . The arrival of a moist ppell of weather sometimes produces a rain of spiders' webs, causing great as tonishment. - Spiders are feeble crea- tures, then- poison affording little protection agamsf tJje attapKs, pr in sect foes. Like Human beings, tney have unprotected bodies and no nat ural weapons worth mentioning. Theh? suryjyaj in creation js due to the exercise of superior tntegjgepce. Boston Transcript.- r . Humility' of tbe Afg?iai Aineer, The ameer of Afghanistan has just published an extraordinary address to tbe Afghan people, which shows that even in semipivilized countries an absolute ruler feels that his ab- soluteism is the outcome of the pop ular will.

He then reviews all the events which have taken place since he was called to the tfrrone and declares that the happiness and prosperity which the Afghan people now enjoy are the outcome of the generous confidence which the Afghans . have placed in his solicitude for the public welfare and his paternal care of the hum-, blest individual.

Some" moths look very much like butterflies, but there are two ways in wnicu you can always tell the one from the other. Each have little slender feelers growing from the head, but the butterfly's feelers, or antennas," as they are called; have knobs on the ends. The antennae of the moth sometimes have tiny feath era on them and sometimes little spires, but they are never knobbed. Then, too, in alighting the butterfly always holds her wings erect, while the moth s droop or are nearly flat. (Jhiid liarden.

" CHARLIE IS NERVOUS. And Taking His Girl Along to the Den tist's Ruined His Chances. "I don't think," 6aid the girl with the sailor hat, "that you used Charlie right. There he has gone to a lot of expense getting ready to marry you, and you had not given him an inti mation that you had any other thought than that of becoming his wife.

You wouldn't, either, if you had gone through what 1 did." "Tell me," said the girl with the Bailor hat imperatively. "You see. Charlie is nervous. I think he is a good deal of a coward, too, but that didn t matter much. Only one day he told me that it was necessary tor him to go to the den tist's and have some teeth hxed, and he said he couldn't bear the idea. He talked so much about the pain and all that 6ort of thing that I told him I would go along and cheer him up. He said that that would be just splendid, and that with me around he was sure he could stand all sorts of pain without a whimper. We went up to the dentist's last Satur day afternoon. We had to wait a eood while in the anteroom, but Charlie didn't seem to mind it much. J really think that my being there made him feel better, and I was glad of it "The time came for him to go into the operating room, and he went in, first squeezing my hand and telling me to stay there until he came out. I sat over near the door and could hear the conversation. The dentist took one of those horrid, pokey little things and pried around in Charlie's mouth. Then he said that there were two teeth that would have to be pulled- I heard Charlie give a great gasp, and. be asked the dentist to let ine come in the room and stay there until the teeth were out. I didn't want to a bit, but went for Charlie's sake. When I got in there, Charlie was lying back in the chair with his( mouth wide open, and i was snocKed.

It is a peculiar idea people' have that if they wrap u tree with cotton it will "prevent the caterpillars, the most destructive pest we' have on trees, from climbing up into the branches and feeding on the leaves. The theory is all very well if the facts were so. That is, if caterpillars climbed up trees in the manner these people say, it would be a good way of keeping tnern from the leaves. But unfortunately caterpillars do not climb trees. They get there without such endeavor. The butterfly de posits eggs upon'the leaves, where in course of time the caterpillar is hatched out. He isjborn on the leaves, and no amount of cotton tied around the trunk of a tree will get nun off them. The only way to rid trees of caterpillars is to spray them with paris green or some poison. .Pittsburg Dispatch. Battlefield Typewriters.

'Bress de Lord, de day ob judg ment am cum, an dis gen'l'man am de angel Gabriel hisself.- Brefren, down "on yo' knees an pray, fo' yo' hour am hyar.' "Chicago .rost. Serious Business. The following description of a Boer writing his name quoted from Mr. Montague's -Tales of a Nomad." It is not impossible that some readers, even in the United States, may rec- ognijsa pnp picture i . In the did days the Boer seldom used his pen, and when he did there was a regular commotion in the house. "Hushf Be quiet, all of you. Prive out the ducks, and the' geese, and the pigs, and the fowls. Father is going to write his name." . " And Jhien the old gentleman, with elbpwg squared on the table, would seize . the pen, with a nourish, and putting on a determined look, as if he were going to tackle an adversary, would bend down hjs head ' till it nearly touched . his left arm, write his name, with many a splutter; Mid then, throwing down the pen and pushing hack the chair, would look round witn an air or mingled pride and resignation and say: I have done it. Youth's Com panion, ' - - Conjugal Scene, Madame gives it her husband hot and strong. He has no consideration for herr he refuses her everything; he is attentive and kind to everybody else. At last, when wound up to" the highest pitch of exasperation, she cries : "Yes, you actually prefer your an imals to me. Look, only last week, when Loulou died, you had her stuffed." ' . . - "But, my dear girl" " "There is no 'but' in 'the case. I an positive you would nqf have done as much for me." L'Almanach des Agriculteurs.

How very unneces sary I Why don't they make a mem orandum of its weight?" Exchange. Swords and Sclinitera. -' The scimiter of the Saracens was the most effective sword for cut ting purposes ever d vised. .' -It WiU be remembered, how, according to the story of Sir Walter Scott's "Tal isman," with such a weapon the pa gan Saladin chopped a soft cushion in two at one blow, to the amazement of Richard .Cceur de Lion. . With a straight sword one can make a hack or thrust, but to slice 'an adversary one must saw with it The scimiter, being curved and wide and heavy toward the end, slices by the mere fact of striking. Troy Times. History Repeat. IUelC Those who are interested in coinci dences cannot but be struck with the fact that Henry IV of France, whom Carnot greatly resembled in personal appearance, having the same nose, a similar beard and much the same j figure, was stabbed by Ravaillac, who jumped on his carriage wheel and killed him. Similarly Henry in, the preceding King, was stabbed to death by Clement, who pretended that he wanted to present him with a pe tition. Philadelphia Times. Warm Drinking; Water. Warm wllter is preferable to cold water as a drink to persona who are subject to dyspeptic and bilious com plaints, and it may be taken more freely than cold water and conse quently answers better as a diluent for carrying off bile. When water of a temperature equal to tnat of tne human body is used for drink, it proves considerably stimulant and is particularly suited to dyspeptic, bil ious, gouty and chlorotic subjects. ood mas o ear are sfi( better WW tnade with tor Ihev are are asv cf- tstetf .
