Scott's Monument In Edinburgh.
The finest monument erected to a lit

monument fn Edinburgh. It is in the
?orm of a graceful gothlc spire, with
pinnacles, resting on lour pointed
arches. Ia this canopy of open arches
is a statue of tb novelist and poet, ac
companied by his dog. The designer

tect who died before tho monunrent
was completed. He is said to haye
been greatly influenced by the archi
tectural beauties of Melrose abbey.
An interior staircase conducts to the
top, which is 200 feet from the ground
and terminates in a single pinnaole.
Above the principal arches and In va
rious parts ot the structure are fifty

Use for Spider's Silk.
Several small articles of wearing ap
parel have been made of silk woven
from spiders' wsbb, and they were
found to be more durable, lighter in
weight, and more pleasing to the touch
than articles made of the ordinary kind
of silk. Spiders' Milk is not likely to
become popular, however, becauso spi
ders Cannot bo cultivated profitably
owing to their enormous appetites.
The spidef ought not to ba regarlcd
as an enemy to mankind, for it does
great service as a deotroyer of insects
The speed with which it can gobble up
a house fly is amazing. It has been
ca'cu'ated that a man, eating at the
came rate as a spider, would require "
whole fat ox for breakfast, an ox and
five eheep for dinner, for supper two
bullocks", eight sheep and four hogs
and, just before retiring, nearly four
barrels ol fresh fish." It is however, a

Three ways are used by farmers
j4 for curing and preparing tHeir to
! 'bacco for the market; namely sun
j .cjired, alf cuted and 1 flue cured.
! The old and cheap way is called air
cured; the later discovery and im
proved way is called flue cured.
In flue curing the tobacco is taken
from the fields and racked in barns
especially built to retain heat and
there subjected to a continuous high
temperature, produced by the direct
heat of flame heated flues, which
brings out in the tobacco that
; stimulating taste and aroma that
expert roasting develops in green
coffee. These similar processes give
to both tobacco and coffee the cheer-
' ing and stimulating quality that pop
ularizes their use.
The quality of tobacco depends
' much on the curing process and the
kind of soil that produces it, as ex
pert tests prove that this flue cured
tobacco, grown in the famous Pied
mont region, requires and takes less
sweetening than tobacco grown in
any other section of the United States
and has a wholesome, stimulating,
juicy, full tobacco taste that satisfies
tobacco hunger. That's why chewers
prefer Schnapps, because Schnapps
cheers more than any other chewing
tobacco, and that's why chewers of
Schnapps pass the good thing along
one chewer makes other chewers,
until the fact is established that
there are more chewers and more
pounds of tobacco chewed to the
population in states where Schnapps
tobacco is sold than there are in
those states where Schnapps has not
yet been offered to the trade.

robust health and good education wav

doutbting whether he will go on or

amount of success without education,
without culture and brilllpncy, but
yon cannot do much without stamina

always been more than a match forany
