The public buildiug bill, which waB reported favorably by the committee, and which provided an appropriation of $50,i'0U for a postoffice building for Plattsmouth, did not get through the house hs wa3 expected. Judge Strode made a noble effort, however, as is shown by the following taken from the Lincoln Journal's Washington correspondence, and may be able to g-et i he bill before the house yet: "The first bill od the list, for New port News, Va., went through and the second bill that followed, Blair, Neb., which had the place upon the list that had been promised to the Plattsmouth bill, was the next for consideration. Here the opposition on the floor mani fested itself in surprising numbers, and democrats, populists and disap pointed republicans joined in a large demonstration of disapproval and pro ceeded to lay out everything in eight. For sometime the fight for and against the Blair bill wavered in the balance, and for the time being it looked as if it might pass, but upon the demand for tke passage of the engrossed bill it was found that the bill had not been engrossed, RDd owing to parliamentary tactics it was by this means passed over. Filibustering consumed the bal ance of the time allotted for the con sideration and passage of the bill, and as a consequence tho-je for Platts mouth, Kearney, Hastings, Norfolk aud to increase the cost of the Omaha building never came to the surface. Judsre Strode, who had become nwai-o of the fact that his Plattsmouth bill had been reported at the foot of the list instead of its promised posi tion, at the head, and had been urged to join in the opposition to the bills, voted steadily with Mr. Mercer dur ing the day, but the opposition was too strong for the combination to pass their bills in the limited tim$ allowed. An attempt, will be made to secure anothc r day to clear the calendar of all public building bills." Jury Lint Drawn.

Pocock. the English nat- ! nrallst, tells an interesting story of tin j spiders which dwell in the flow r ot the pitcher plant of Indian and Auira 11a. This flower Is an insert trap. Around its upper edge it is brilliantly colored and sweet with honey. I.ow:-i down the walls are waxy, and smooth that no insect can gain a hoM upon them. The bottom of the piu li'-i is filled with a liquid, containing sev eral acids, which possesses the pow of digesting organic matter. The luck less Insects which fall Into thl.s liquid are gradually absorbed by the plant. But while most insects carefully avoid this death-trap, a particular species oi spider chooses it as a dwelling place. By spinning a little web like a carpet over a part of the waxy interior of the pitcher It is enabled to stay there In safety. These spiders have apparently chosen their singular home just be cause of its danger-. Irr such a plat e they are protected against their ene mies. If alarmed, the spider drops into the liquid at the bottom of the plant and remains there until his enemy has disappeared, escaping afterward, prob ably by means of a silken cable it hod spun as it fell. A short submergence in the digestive fluid Is not Injurious to the spider. si oo He ward WIOO.

He fills It with filter ed water and In the morning can com mand a pint or more of water cooled by evaporation through the unglazed clay. This precious fluid he does not waste on unsatisfied thirst. Taking off a long white wrap and the piece of cloth that covers his head during sleep, the native pours the water over hia head, neck and hands. The Euro pean, with all hU Instinct for cleanliness, seeks first to relieve his overmastering thirst. There are in Egypt as many thirsts as plagues, but the dust thirst is the worst. Every pore is sealed; the throat is a lump of dry clay and one feels what It must be to be a mummy. Notice to the Public.
