II vw a Spider Cfipfttretl a Votato
Beetle.
I wish to place on record with yoa
au incident Miic-h came under my ob
servation, and which almost equals
the account of a spider raising a snake
in its web, which you published some
time ago. I was sitting on my back
porch one day this summer, when I
observed a potato bug slowly ap
proaching alo.ig the floor. Anxious
to annihilate as many as possible of
these pests, 1 kept my eye on him un
til he should come within reach,
when I could put my foot on him.
While watching in this way I noticed
a pretty good sized spider approach
ing the bug. At a little distance he
stopped to survey his contemplated
victim, and then, with a mind seem
ingly determined as to what course to
pursue, ran around on the opposite
side of the bug, and w ith an apparent
'nip' at him turned the bug from his
course, and toward a corner where I
noticed the spider had a web some
four or more inches from the floor.
The bus; had no inclination to go in
that 'luec'-ion, but he was so closely
driven by the spider, which ran first
to one side then the other, exactly like
a shepherd dog driving sheep, hurry
ing his victim up with an occasional
'nip' or bite at his side. All this was
something new to me in the habits and
ways of the spider, ami I w atched with
intense interest to sjc what the result
would be.
When the bug had been driven into
the corner at a point directh under
the web, the spider changed tactic,
and made a series of circles rapidly
around the bug, first in one direction
ami then in another, occasionally lak-

all, it is best to
ing a run up into the web. While I
was unable to see the delicate thread
spun by the spider, I saw that the
bug's legs 9oon became so entangled
that he conld not make any headway,
but could only struggle around in a
limited latitude, which became more
and more limited as the spider untir
ingly continued his work. Being com
pelled to leave at this moment, I re
turned again in about half au hour. I
then found the bug turned on its back,
and its feet apparently quite tirmly
bjund. He vvas quite motionless, and
1 thought he was dead, but he soon
8'iowed i-ins of life bv vigorously
kicking, which neatly released him.
The spider hail been running up and
down at diilercnt points, but quickly
left that work, and sliding do-vn to
the bug, seemed to attack his throat,
and in such a manner that the bug
gave a few spasmodic kicks and seam
ed to give up the ghost. The spider
then returned to his work of attach
ing lines to the bug and the web.
Tiiey were soon so numerous that I
c ould see them ; boides, the light had
become more favorabls. The regular
ity of the lines formed a sort of fun
nel, diverging as they did from the
bug to the outer parts of the web
above.
Altera time the spider seemed to
have lines enough attached, and began
t'.ie r.ew work ot shortening each line,
as it appeared. lie passed from line
to li.ie maiy times over, stopping au
instant at each. I was again called
aw..y at this juncture, and did not see
the curiosity until the next day. The
bujr was then elevated over an inch
ab jve the fl.or, and the third day he
Wis safe'y in the center of the web,
some liv inches from the floor, and
all the tackle employed in hoisting
was completely cleared away. In the
web were the carcasses ot two other
p-jta'o bugs, which I have no doubt
were caught in like manner, though
they may have crawled up the wall
into the web. I cannot name the va
riety of the spider, but it is a very
common one, of rather good size ta
ken altogether, but sm:dl as compared
with the bug. The spider could not
have weighed o:e--ighth as much as
the bug; hU bod' was long and slen
der, with lonir, slender legs, a very or
dinary species of house spider, (of
brown colo',)and called a large spi
der on acc unl of his long legs.
Ihis may be a very common habit
of the spider, running out and driving
in game to a place where it can be e
cured and hoisted, but I never heard
of the like before. 11 li. TiccUtr, in

Where circular saws are in use, not
ol siillicienl diameter to divide large
trunks, it is asserted that trees partly
baw n t hrough may be neatly split even
without any sawing. If a hole be
bored in the wood of one inch diameter,
and in depth a little more than half
the thickness of the trunk, about one
third the length of the log from the
butt end, and as near as possible to
the center, powder and fuse put in, and
the hole tilled up with sand, a single
bias' is suUieicnt to split a log of con
fcideiable length, which it does gener
ally, almost as clean as tLe saw.

Cure for Lock Jaw in Horses
.V writer in the Wilminjlon Jiepubli-
can suggests the fallowing- a a sure
1 tare for lock jaw : "There is a large
) numlier of horses dying from lock jaw.
t I would suggest the following tn-at-
menl, which will in eight cases out of
j ten save the life of the horse. If the
i wound is from a nail in the foot en
; larsre the wouml and apply spirits of
j turpentine. Then apply laudanum
I every hour for two days ; at the same
1 time bathe the foot twice a day, for
the lock jaw generally sets in from ten
to twenty days after the wound has
been made. The horse should not be
used.
The use of chloride of potassium is
recommended in Germany as a means
of increasing the growth of wool in
sheep. The fact of the "yelk" of sheep
containing a large proportion of this
chemical led some German chemist to
make experiments with a view of pro
ving whether the supply of this mater
ial would promote the growth of wool,
and this result has proved Iliac by ad
ministering chloride of potassium in
j the proportion of one part of chloride
to nine parts ot salt, the production
of wool may be inci eased and its qual
ity improved, while the general health
of the animal is at the same time bene
fitted. Experiments are being made
in order to ascertain the proper quan
tities to administer. rrairie Farmer.
Cure for Bund Staggf.rs. Take
three tablespoonluls of Jamestown
weed seed, put them in a pint of clear
water, and boil them until you make
a strong tea ; then strain the tea in
order to get all the seed out. Mix
with this tea one ounce of the spirits
of nitre and one ounce of paregoric
or three potls of pepper will answer
This compound forms a liniment, of
which take one teaspoon ful and pour
in each ear. Let the horse rest about
fifteen minutes, then take a half pint
of assafa-tida tea, one ounce of harts
horn, and one tablespoon ful ot ground
mustard. This you may squirt up
each nostril until he begins to snort
lree.y, and then you may stop, as the
water collected around the brain will
run out at the ears and nose.
To Clean Clack Silk. One of the
things not "generally known," at least
in this country, is the Persian method
of cleaning black silk. The modus ojy
erandi is very simple, and the result
infinitely superior to that achieved in
any other manner The silk must be
thoroughly brushed and wiped with a
cloth, then laid flat on a board or table
and sponge well with hot coffee, freea
from sediment by being stiained
through muslin. The silk is sponged
on the side intended to show, it is al
lowed to become partially dry and then
iron on the wroi.g sine. ine couee
removes every particle of grease and
restores the brilliancy to the silk with
out imparting to it either the shiny
appearance or crackly and papery
stitfness obtained by beer, or indeed
any other liquid. The silk really ap
pears thickened by the process and
this good effect is permanent. Our
readers who will exjK?rimentalize on an

any other methoa.
