T illamook f7: An THE KICKER. Entirely Different Sort of Man From the Growler. There is a world of difference be tween the man who kicks and the man who growls. The man who kicks—who truly, ear nestly and honestly kicks—Is a good kind of mau to have about. lie. kicks because things ure uot us they should I m ?, and he proposes to correct them. The man who growls is merely a nega tive quality. He may know that things are not going right, but be hasn't uny Idea of trying to do anything about IL He just sits round and com plains. You remember Mark Twain’s story al>out the kicker and bow successful he was In securing everything that be longed to him. He was a producer in the best sense of the word, just as every mau who kicks in the right way is certain to be. You probably know just such men—men who are chronic kickers. Let anything go wrong aud they go “up I11 the air” In a minute, but you can depend upon It that that particular thing will never go wrong again if they can prevent It. A kicker may not be the Ui most ------- agree able person to have aroum 10. yet he is a healthful factor in almost any estab lishment. He has his faults, but It is possible to overlook them for the sake of the productive value that be represents. As to the growler—there seems to be uo place for him in the work of the world, He may complain loudly and whine aud talk about other peo ple. but be remedies no faults, be re pairs no leaks—he just makes trouble. That Is the dlffreuce between the kicker and the growler.—Business. WEB OF THE SPIDER, Thousands of Strands In Each of Its Silky Threads. For a toug time the web of the spi der was supposed to be a simple strand of wavy silk, but later It was found that such was far from being the case. Under the microscope we can get at the secret of the spinning very nicely We see that there are either four or six teats on the spider near the lower part of the abdomen, almost exactly similar to the teats of a cow. Front these issue four or six strands, as the case may be. But these strands them selves are not simple, but are com posed of at least a thousand fibers each, for it has been |iroved that in each teat there Is a sieve of at least a thousand holes, through which the silky matter Is strained. Thus we sec that, fine as is n spider’s web. It Is ypi composed of from 4.000 to 0.000 fibers I.euwenhoeck states that It would take at least 4.000,000 of the completed threads to make a thread ns strong as a silk thread of the size of a hair. As to the color of the thread, onr ordinary spiders spin one of a uniform gray color. But in the riotous tropics there ore found spiders that spin vari colored webs. One particularly pro duces red. yellow nnd black threads, which It binds together with a pleas- lug color effect In the thread of the Bidder I I ps dor mant a great Industry once It Is prop erly studied.—Popular Magazine. Struck a Coincidence. It was the hour of family confidences Mr. Buggins had finished his evening papers and in slippers and dressing gown was toasting bis toes before tbe asbestos fire log, while the wife of his bosom was putting a few stitches I11 tlte tab!« cover she was doing for Aunt Mary. “I did something today that I've been screwing up my courage to do for a long time,” said Mrs. Buggins. “Yes?" said Mr. Buggins, mildly In terested. “What was it?” “You know that odious Mrs. Bjones?” replied Mrs, Buggins. “Well, I paid her a call that I have owed for nenr- ly a year.” “My dear. I can sympathize with you,” said Mr. Ruggins. •'Today, by a strange coincidence, I paid that odious Mr. Bjones a bill I had owed him for quite us long.”—New York Times. Th» Magpie Ceiling. UNEXPLORED CANADA. Vast Areas Whore the Foot of a White Man Has Never Trod. There are vast areas lu Canada of which even the government has no definite knowledge, and there are thou sands of square miles where the foot of a white man has never trod. Prac tically all knowledge of this big wild country has been secured agaiu aud again along a few cboseu and well worn routes, outside of which investi gation has seldom gone. Imagine u dozeu or so well beaten vehicle highways traversing a country one-fourth as large us Europe—narrow highways hemmed lu by Impenetrable wilderness—aud oue may form some sort of idea of the little that is still known of <100,000 square miles of the North American continent Along these routes nearly all "ex plorers" have gone. Along them are situated most of tbe fur posts, and be yond their narrow lines but little is known. And in this world of forest and ridge mountains und eternal deso lation. still buried in the mystery and silence of endless centuries, are its "people.” Approximately there are from 15,000 to 25,000 human souls in an area fif teen times tbe size of Ohio, and there are no more than 500 of these who have not some ludlan blood In their veins. On the other baud, fully one- half of tbe total population has its strain of white blood.—Leslie's Weekly. RAILWAYS IN SPAIN Their Methods Are Not Those of the Strenuous Life. A Spanish railway seems an excel lent place for a rest cure. "I remem ber.” writes Mr. S. L. Bensusau, “when going on a short Journey lu Andalusia, the tralu that carried me stopped at a short Junction. While we were at rest here, after some hours of travel at the rate of at least twelve miles an hour, the driver uncoupled his engine and proceeded down the line with it in the direction we were uot to take. "The passengers walked contentedly up and down, smoked countless ciga rettes, ate oranges, resisted the impor tunities of beggars. At last I became uneasy and asked where the driver had gone. ’Pedro has run down tbe line on his engine to take a birthday gift to his mother, who lives over there,’ explained the station master; ‘he is indeed a good son aud will not trust Ills parcel to tbe post Spain is full of thieves.’ And when tlie good son had come back from Ills mission he restored tbe engine to its proper position and we reentered the train, which went on Its journey after three- quarters of an hour's delay.”—London Graphic. The Monkey and the Book, A story is told of an eminent nat- uralfst (I forget bls name) who was hoping to develop the Intelligence of a monkey to whose education he was devoting himself. One day he saw with delight that the monkey was sit ting at the other end of the room turn ing over the leaves of a valuable book on entomology and looking at the plates with apparent Interest But on going nearer he saw. with dismay, that the monkey was turning over the plates in order that when be came to a particularly large beetle or butterfly be might pick It out and eat it As the paper could not have bad a nice taste, I think he may have been actu ated rather by the fun of the thing than by a mere depraved appetite. Perhaps he was verifying the like ■aetbod of learning among the philoso phers of Laputa.—London Spectator. No Chasses.

Iiis majesty made the best of tlie circumstauces uml ex plained to the queen. “E por hem tuiuka sac re” (“Oh. It is nothing at all. It is quite right. There Is no harm in it”). As to whether the queen was satisfied the legend is silent, but the ladies of the court were deeply interested and were constantly saying to one another with a smile. “Por beta! Por bem !" The king thought it time to act, so bo coin- missioned an artist to paint on tlie ceiling as mauy magpies as there were talkative ladies about the court, each holding in the beak the ribbon with the words, “Por bem.”—London Globe.
