The utility of the spider, the fact It has a part to play In the economy of nature, Is very slowly being recognized in this country, but there are regions of the world where sentiment has given place to the conviction that certain classes at any rate of the Insect play a role that is both useful and beneficial to man. M. L. Diguet, who has been on a mission in a district of Mexico which he calls Michoacan, has brought back tidings of a spider's nest which is used by the natives for during the rainy season and which forms a notable addition to the adornment of the rooms in which they live. He describes the mosquero. as it is called, which has been used as a remedy for the fly plague from time immemorial. At the beginning of the rainy season the exodus from the villages begins. The Inhabitants stream up the wooded hillsides and the picture he draws of the long .procession of branches, each of which contains one bt tnore coveted mosquero, reminds one Of the wood of Dunsinane. The nests are large enough to cover a space of a couple of square yards and are like a huge sponge. This is strung to the branches by thick threads, which act as cables. Then come the thinner and stick ropes, which are to act as catchers of the harmful, unnecessary fly. The inside of the nest is simply a mesh of interwoven lines pierced with passages and galleries all kept in a Btate of perfect sweetness by a tiny parasite, one of the coleoptera, swarms of which live and move and have their being and find their nurture within Its recesses. The season goes on, the nest increnses concentrically in size. As each capture is made it is secured by freshly made webs and the remains after host and parasite have satisfied their appetites, become an integral part of the surface of the nest. that n ' Historic Buildings Going. The demolition is now being proceeded with of 85, 86 and 87 Fetter lane, three old, gabled buildings tuhlcb were originally part of the Barnard s inn, which was founded in the fifteenth century. Fetter lane is one of the most interesting thoroughfares in the city. Three hundred years ago it was called Fewtor lane. The word Fewtor meant Idle person or loafer. It was Indeed in those days a haunt jOf neer do wells and defaulters. Near the 'spot where the ancient houses stand at the Ilolborn end of Fetter lane two conspirators, Tomkins and Challoner, who were Involved in a plot in connection with the war between King Charles I. and his parliament, were publicly hanged more than 250 years ago. London Standard. Bride Without a Smile. From the quarteily report of the Ilorneo Mission association we learn that Bishop Mounsey has bad some Interesting experiences In Labuan and Sarawak. Here is his account of the marriage of a Christian girl who is half Chinese and half Dyak: It was a very pic turesque service and one point was both amusing and interesting to me. The bride, a pretty girl who generally has a pleasant smile for one, was on this occasion the picture of misery. She looked very glum and never I am smiled." The bishop adds: told this Is quite the thing for a Chinese bride, in this as In other things their customs being very unlike ours." Developed Since Then. "Augustus Saint Gaudens, said a used to Illustrate Cornish novelist, the development of art in America by a story of the past. He said that in the '40s a rich ilos tonian built a fine house in the Back Bay. He decided to adorn the lawn with Btatuary, and, having heard of the Venus de Milo, he wrote to Rome for a copy. The copy duly arrived. It was in marble. But the Boston man no sooner got it than he sued the railroad company for $2,500 for mutilation. He won the 6uit, too. Great Climate! A curiosity that most people wont believe unless they see it is a bunch of grass bearing sheep, the property of John Cartwright. Several members of his flocks have a luxuriant growth of tame grass growing on the back and well down the sides of their bodies, giving them the appearance of having a pretty, green fleece. It is accounted from the fact that grass seed falling from the feed wagon and lodging in the wool sprouted when being continuously moistened by Oregon's copious showers. Harrisburg (Ore.) Bulletin. Luck. You own an automobile, Colonel Roosevelt Lectures on This Subject in Paris. BIG AUDIENCE IN S0RB0NNE and Students Professors Savants, Views on Hear the the Responsibilities of the Individual Hits at Race Suicide in France. Paris, April 23. Savants, professors and students of the University of Paris crowded the assembly hall of the Sorbonne this afternoon to hear Col. Theodore Roosevelt lecture on CitiIt was an apzenship In a Republic. preciative audience and the lecturer Mr. was frequently applauded. Roosevelt said: Foundation of Our Republio. This was the most famous unlver-cit- y of medieval Europe at a time when no one dreamed that there was a new world to discover. Its services to the cause of human knowledge already stretched far back Into the remote past at the time when my forefathers, three centuries ago, when among the sparse bands of traders, plowmen, wood choppers and fisher-folwho, in a hard struggle with the Iron unfriendliness of the Indian-haunte- d land, were laying the foundations of what has now become the giant republic of the west To oon-qua continent, to tame the shaggy roughness of wild nature means grim warfare; and the generations engaged in it cannot keep, still less add to, the stores of garnered wisdom which were therein, and which are still in the hands of their brethren who dwell In the old land. To conquer the wilderness means to wrest victory from the same hostile forces with which mankind struggled in the immemorial Infancy of our race. The primeval conditions must be met by primeval qualities which are incompatible with the retention of much that has been painfully acquired by humanity as through the ages it has striven upward toward civilization, in conditions so primitive there can be but a primitive culture Building the Higher Life. As the country grows, its people, who have won success in so many lines, turn back to try to recover the possessions of the mind and the spirit, which perforce their fathers threw iside in order better to wager the first rough battles for the continent their children inherit. The leaders of thought and of action grope their way forward to a new life, realizing, sometimes dimly, sometimes ly, that the life of material gain, whether for a nation or an Individual, is of value only as a foundation, only as there Is added to it the uplift that comes from devotion to loftier ideals. The new life thus sought can In part be developed afresh from what 4s round about in the new world; but it can be developed In full only by freely drawing upon the treasure bouses of the old world, upon the treasures stored in the ancient abodes of wisdom and learning, such as this where I speak today. It Is a mistake for any nation merely to copy another; but It Is an even greater mistake. It Is a proof of weakness in any nation, not to be anxious to learn from another, and willing and able to adapt that learning to the new national conditions and make It fruitful and productive therein. It Is for us of the new world to sit at the feet of the Gamaliel of the old; then If we have the right stuff In us, we can show that Paul, in his turn, can become a teacher as well as a scholar. Today, I shall speak to you on the subject of individual citizenship, the one subject of vital importance to you, my hearers, and to me and my countrymen, because you and we are citl sens of great democratic republics. A democratic republic such as each of ours an effort to realize in its full sense government by, of, and for the people represents the most gigantic of all possible social experiments, the one fraught with greatest possibilities alike for good and for evil. Great Lesson of France. France has taught many lessons to other nations; surely one of the most Important Is the lesson her whole history teaches, that a high artistic and literary development is compatible with notable leadership in arms and statescraft. The brilliant gallantry of the French soldier has for many centuries been proverbial, and during these same centuries at every court in Europe the free masons of fashion have treated the FTench tongue as their common speech; while every artist and man of letters, and every man of science able to appreciate that marvelous instrument of precision, French prose, has turned towards France for id and Inspiration. How long the leadership in arms and letters has lasted Is curiously Illustrated by the fact that the earliest masterpiece in modern tongue is the splendid French epic which tells of Rolands doom and the k, clear-sighte- vengeance of Charlemagne when the lords of the Frankish host were stricken at Roncesvalles. Need of Individual Character. Let those who have, keep, let those who have not, strive' to attain a high standard of cultivation and scholar-- " ship. Yet let us remember that these stand second to certain other things. There is need of a sound body, and even more need of a sound mind. But above mind and above body stands character, the sum of those qualities which we mean when we speak of 'a man's force and courage, of his good faith and sense of honor. I believe in exercise of the body, always provided that we keep in mind that physical development is a means and not an end. I believe, of course, in giving to all the people a good education. But the education must contain much besides In order to be really good We must ever remember that no keenness, and subtleness of Intellect, no polish, no cleverness in any way make up for the lack of great solid qualities common sense, the power of accepting Individual responsibility and yet, of acting in conjunction with, others. Courage and resolution; these are the qualities which mark a masterful people. Without them no people can control Itself or save itself from being controlled from the outside. I speak to a brilliant assemblage; I speak in a great university which represents the flower of the highest Intellectual development; I pay all homage to intellect, and to elaborate and specialized training of the intellect; and yet 1 know I shall have the assent of all you present when I add that more important still are the commonplace, every-daqualities and virtues The Evils of Sterility. In the nejet place the good man should be both a strong and a brave man; that is, he should be able to fight, be should be able to serve his country ad a soldier if the need arises. There are philosophers who declaim against the unrighteousness of war. They are right, only they lay all their emphasis upon the War Is a dreadful unrighteousness. thing, and unjust; war Is a crime against humanity. But it Is such a crime because It Is unjust, not because It Is war. The choice must ever be In favor of righteousness, and this whether the alternative be peace or whether the alternative be war. The question must not be merely, is there to be peace or war? The question must be, is the right to prevail? Are the great laws of righteousness once more to be fulfilled? And the answer from a strong and virile people must be, Yes. whatever the cost. Every honorable effort should always be made by the individual in private life to keep out of a brawl, to keep out Indiof trouble; hut no vidual, no self respecting nation, can or ought to submit to wrong. Finally, even more important than ability to work, even more Important than ability to fight at need. Is it to remember that the chief of blessings for any nation is that It shall leave its seed to inherit the land. It was the crown of blessings in Biblical times, and it is the crown of blessings now. The greatest of all curses is the curse of sterility, and the severest of all condemnations should be that visited The first esupon wilful sterility. sential in any civilization is that the man and the woman shall be father and mother of healthy children, so that the race shall increase and not decrease. If this is not so, if through no fault of society there is failure to increase, it is a great misfortune. If the failure is due to deliberate and wilful fault, then it Is not merely a misfortune, It Is one of those crimes of ease and of shrinking from pain and effort and risk, which in the long run nature punishes more heavily than any other. Idle Achievements. If we of the great republics, if we, the free people who claim to have emancipated ourselves from the thraldom of wrong and error, bring down on our heads the curse that comes upon the wilfully barren, then it will be an idle waste of breath to prattle of our achievements, to boast of all that we have done. No refinement of life, no deiieacy of taste, no material progress, no sordid heaping up of riches.no sensuous development of art and literature, can in any way compensate for the loss of the great fundamental virtues; and of the great fundamental virtues, the greatest is the races power to perpetuate the race. But if a mans efficiency is not guided and regulated by a moral sense, then the mote efficient he is the worse he is, the more dangerous to the body politic. Courage, intellect, all the masterful qualities, serve but to make a man more evil if they are used merely for that mans own advancement, with brutal Indifference to the rights of others. It speaks ill for the community if the community wrorships these qualities and treats their possessors as heroes regardless of whether the qualities are used rightly or wrongly. It makes no difference as to the precise way in which this sinister efficiency is shown. It makes no difference whether such a man's force book-learnin- g t, g and ability betray themselves in the career of money maker or politician soldier or orator, journalist or popu lar leader. If the man works for evil, then the more successful he is. the more he should be despised and condemned by all upright and fareeing men. To judge a man merely by success is an abhorrent wrong; and if the people at large habitually so judge men, if they grow to condone wickedness because the wicked man triumphs, they show, their inability to understand that in the last analysis free institutions rest upon the character of citizenship and that by such admiration of evil they prove themselves unfit for liberty. The Idea of True Liberty. The good citizen will demand liberty for himself, and as a matter of pride he will see to It that others receive the liberty which he thus' claims as his own. Probably the best test of true love of liberty in any country is the way in which minorities are treated in that country. Not only should there be complete liberty In matters of religion and opinion, but complete liberty for each man to lead blS life as he desires, provided only that in so doing he does not wrong his neighbor. Persecution is bad because it Is persecution, and without reference to which side happens at the moment to be the persecutor and which the persecuted. Class hatred Is bad in just the same way, and without any regard to the Individual who, at a given time, substitutes loyalty to a class for loyalty to the nation, or substitutes hatred of men because they happen to come In a certain social category, for judgment awarded them accoiding to their conduct. Remember always that the same measure of condemnation should be extended to the arrogance which would look down upon or crush any man because he is pofir, and to the envy and hatred which would destroy a man because be Is wealthy. The overbearing brutality of the man of wealth or power, and the envious and hateful malice directed against wealth or power, are really at root merely different manifestations of the same quality, merely the two sides of the same shield. The man who, if born to wealth and power, exploits and ruins his less 1 cleansing is desired. Only those who buy the genuine Syrup of Figs 'and Elixir of Senna can hope to get its beneficial effects, and as a guarantee of the excellence of the remedy, the full name of the company California Fig Syrup Co. is printed on the front of every package, and without it any preparation offered as Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna is fraudulent and should be declined. To those who know the quality of this excellent laxative, the offer of any substitute, when Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna is called for, is always resented by a transfer of patronage to some first-cladrug establishment, where they do not recommend, nor sell false brands, nor imitation remedies.

It makes no difference whether he- - appeals to '.class -class hatued jui, the man who makts such an appeal should always be presumed to make it for the sake' of furthering his own Interest. The very thing that an Intelligent member of a and democratic community should not do la-freward any public man because that public man says he will get the private citizen something to which this private citizen is not entitled, or will gratify some emotion or animosity- whloh this private citizen ought not to possess. If a public man tries to get your vote by saying that he will do some thing wrong In your Interest, you can be absolutely certain that If ever it becomes worth his while he will do something wrong against your interest. France and the United States. And now, my host, a word In parting. You and I belong to the only two great republics among the great The ancient powers of the world. and the France between friendship United States has been, on the whole, a sincere and disinterested friendship. A calamity to you would be a sorrow to us. But It would be more than that. In the seething turmoil of the history of humanity certain nations stand out as possessing a peculiar power or charm, some special gift of beauty or wisdom of strength, which puts them among the immortals, which makes them rank forever with the leaders of mankind. France is one of the nations. For her to sink would be a loss to all the world. There are certain lessons of brilliance and of generous gallantry that she can teach better than any of her sister nations. When the French peasantry sang of Malbrook It was to tell how the soul took flight upward of this warrior-fo- e through the laurels he had won. Nearly seven centuries ago Froissart, writing pf a time of dire disaster, said that the realm of France was never so stricken that there were not left men who would valiantly fight for It. You have had a great past 1 believe that you will have a great future. Long may you carry yourselves proudly as citizens of a nation which bears a leading part in the teaching and uplifting of mankind. Barely Possible. Youth and Springtime. Charm In Expression, pose?
