WEB OF THE SPIDER. The Many Ism to Which lis Singular Spinner I'utM It. Spiders form gooil subjects for rainy day study, and two liburs spent in a neglected garret wajcliing these dever little beings will often arouse such in terest that we shall he glad to devote many days of sunshine to observing those species which hunt and build and live in the open fields. There is no in* sect in the world with more than six legs, and as a spider lias eight he is therefore thrown out of the company of butterflies, beetles and wasps and finds himself In a strange assemblage. Even to his nearest relatives he bears little resemblance, for when we real ize that scorpions and horseshoe crabs must call liini cousin we perceive that his is indeed an aberrant bough on the tree of creation. Nature has provided spiders with an organ filled always with s.i • Well on being exposed to the air hardens and can be drawn out into the slender threads which we know as cobweb. The silkworm incases its body with a mile or more of gleaming silk, but there its usefulness is ended, as far as the silkworm is concerned. But spi ders have found :i hundred uses for their cordage, some of which are star tlingly similar to human inventions. A list of all the uses of cobwebs would take much space, but of these the most familiar is the snare set for unwary flies—the wonderfully ingen ious webs which sparkle with, dew among the grasses or stretch from bush to bush. The framework is of web bing, and upon this is woven the sticky spiral which is so elastic, so ethereal, and yet strong enough to entangle a good sized insect. How knowing seems the little worker as, the web and his den of concealment being completed, he spins a strong cable from the center of the web to the entrance of his watchtower. Then, when a trembling of his aerial spans warns him of a cap ture, how eagerly he seizes his master j cable and jerks away on it, thus vibrat- I ing the whole structure and making I more certain the confusion of his vie- | tim. Those spiders which leap upon their prey instead of setting snares for it have still a IIKC for their threads of j life, throwing out a cable as they leap to break their fall if they miss tlicir : foothold, What a strange use of the cobweb is that of the little flying spi j ders!

A most fascinating tale would unfold could we discover all the uses of cob web when the spiders themselves are through with It. Certain It Is that our ruby throated humming bird robs many webs to fasten together the plant down and lichens which compose her dainty nest. Search the pond and you will find another member of the spider family swimming about at ease beneath the surface, thoroughly aquatic In his habits, but breathing a bubble of air which he carries about with him. When Ills supply is low, he swims to a submarine castle of silk, so air tight that he can keep It filled with a large bubble of air, upon which he draws from time to time. And NO we might goon enumerating almost endless uses for the web, which Is nature's gift to these little waifs who ages ago left the sea and have won a place for themselves in the sun shine among the butterflies and flow ers.—C. William Beebe In New York Post, InsonlnnH Ilimo.

In a London street a girl of twelve und a hoy of ten were playing a family drama of "mother and father," and Bobby was being instructed in his role. "Now.

"Why for, stoopid?" retort ed the girl, with a glance of mingled scorn and pity. "Ain't it Saturday?" Generosity. Never be sorry for any generous thing that you ever did, even if it was betrayed.
