Spidwi brronted HfofM Btlore the Time of Man In making a home or nest, the trapdoor spider digs into the earth, biting the soil and forcing bits of it upward with her legs. The hole is dug to a depth of several inches, and then it is lined all around with silk which the spider spins. The lid is made of layers of soil (often sand) and layers of spider silk. It is firmly made, and is of circular shape. One-third or onefourth of it is fastened to an edge of the hole. Closing the trapdoor, the spider has a snug home for herself and her young. The top of the trapdoor is covered in such a way that it matches the ground above. Sometimes it is covered with moss. The trapdoor can be lifted a little bit, so the spider can "peep out" and see whether any insects are close by. If one is in reach, the spider runs out, catches it, and drags it in. No outside web is spun by the trapdoor spiders, for . no web is needed. Enough "game" is obtained by laying in wait. < Trapdoor spiders have enemies of their own, declares a writer in the Cleveland Plain Dealer, and must be on their guard against them. We ere told that if an enemy tries to lift the lid, ine spider clings to it on the side opposite to the hinge. If the enemy is strong enough to lift it anyway, the spider still may be able to escape. Often there is a tunnel from the nest to another trapdoor, and this can be used as a means of getting away.v <• '* • RINGWOOD Vending Used in Egypt Thousands of Years Ago While we do not know when and where the art of veneering was invented, there is no doubt that it had reached a high stage of development in Egypt 3,500 years ago, observes a writer in the Chicago Tribune. It was practiced by the ancient Babylonians and Assyrians, by the Greeks, aftd particularly by the Romans, who used it not only in furniture but also in door frames and panels. When the ancient European civilization was submerged by the dark ages, the art of veneering was temporarily lost, only to be revived in the form of inlays during the Renaissance. True veneering did not become common in Europe until after the middle of the Seventeenth century, when a new typ§ of saw was invented which would divide a plank into thin sheets. The art reached the point of technical perfection during the reign of Louis XIV, and ever since that time it has been practiced by most of the great cabinet makers of all countries, except, of course, in the case of the carvers, of whom Chippendale is the outstanding exemplar. Most of the magnificent furniture of the Eighteenth century France, that of the Adam, Hepplewhite, and Sheraton styles in England, and the really distinguished furniture of the late Colonial and Federal periods in America, made a free use of veneers. -- The Ringwood Home Circle entertained the Greenwood Dorcas Society at the home of Mrs. Ray Peters Wednesday.

If you shake hands or take off your hat you aren't doing anything new. You're just following old customs, says a writer in London Answers Magazine. In days of old, the joining of hands was equivalent to peace treaty--it meant that the hands were free of weapons. And even the boldest of knights would take off his helmet among friends to show that he wasn't afraid of blow on the head. Kissing, too, has its origin in earliest times. The old Greeks and Romans used to kiss their friends and acquaintances on every occasion. One old scholar relates that is Was polite, when calling on anyone, to kiss first the host, then his wife, followed by all his children, and finally the dog and cat. Greatest Soldier of Fa Greatest of all soldiers of fortune was William H. Walker, "the gray eyed man of destiny." After graduating from college at fourteen. Walker was first a doctor, then newspaper man. Suddenly, in 1853, he sailed with a handful of men from California, set up a republic in Lower California. That failed. But two years later, he led 56 men to Nicaragua, join&l a revolutionary faction and became undisputed ruler of the country. He held out for a year against a union of Central American countries and unfriendly American capitalists who backed his enemies, then returned to the United States. Several other expeditions failed, and, on the last, Walker was captured by Hondurans and executed. Completely insulated. Oreo heat Automatic cop lighter.

It was always narrow and of semi-circular or horseshoe form, the guests sitting around the outer circumference. Metal wells for bottles and ice were sunk in the surface of the table and were equipped with brass lids. In later examples the tables were fitted with "a revolving winecarriage, bottle-holder or tray working on a balanced arm which enabled the bottles to be passed without shaking. V "Bine Peter" When the "Blue Peter," a white on blue flag, flies at the topmast' ol a ship it says in flag language, "All come aboard; I am about to sail."
