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

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

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

One of the apartments lu the an
tieut royal palace at Ciutra. Portugal,
Is knowu as the Hall uf Magpies.
Painted In the arabesque celling is to
be found a swarm of magpies. Each
has in the mouth a scroll, ou which,
painted in red ou a white ground, are
the words, “Por beui." The story
runs that King John of Portugal was
making love to uue of the maids of
honor iu this chamber aud was sur­
prised by the queen. 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.

It is an Interesting fact that the fish­
ermen of northern Portugal started
and developed the fishing Industry on
the "banks" off the northern coast of
America, and, though they now send
fewer ships, their taste for salt cod
from Newfoundland Is unabated- In
fact, it is a national Portuguese dain­
ty. It Is found In every little grocery
shop, hard and brown as a board. A
number of Portuguese have made their
home on the islands to the south of
the mainland of Massachusetts, and
there the dark eyes of the Iberian
maiden, raven locks and a certain pic­
turesque element in dress are not in­
frequent. This connection with Por
