The Spider "a Natural Barometer.
The spider, says an eminent naturalist, is
almost universally regarded with disgust and
adherence, yet, after all, it is one Of the most
interesting, if not the most nseiul Of the insect
tribe. Since the days of Robert Bruce, it has
been celebrated as a model for perseverance,
while in industry and ingenuity it has no rival
among insects. But the most extraordinary
fact in the natural history of this insect is the
remarkable presentiment it appears to have Of
an approaching change in the weather. Ba.
rometers, at best, only oretell the state OF the
weather with certainty about twenty -iour hours,
and are frequently very fallib!e guides, particu-
larly when they point to settled fair. But we
may be sure that the weather will be fine twelve
or fourteen days, when the spider makes the
principal threads Of his web very long The
insect, which is one Of the most economical an
imals, does not commence a work requiring
such great length ot threads. which it draws
out ofits body unless the state of the atmos-
phere indicates with certainty that this great
expenditure will not be made in vain. Let the
weather be ever so bad, we may conclude with
certainty that it will soon change to be settled
fair, when We see the spider repair the dana.
ges which the web has received. 1t is obvious
how important this inallibe indication Of the
state of the weather must oe in many instances,
to agriculturists.

A FIXED FACT.-Thurlow Weed tells the Re-

DiSCaSe i'm Animals,

DIR. Richardson states that he has seen pigs
with Group, small pox, meazles and plague
DR.. Furlong, Of Antique, states, on aut hority
of a letter from the wife Of one of the first phys
icians in Trinidad, that, when the cholera was
epidemic in that island, monkeys, wild and do
mesticated, died in great numbers from the dis
ease. Travellers found them dead in the woods
in every stage Of the most malignant cholera.
lie says moreover, they suffered equally from
small pox when it devastated the island, and
that there was the same evidence Of contagion
amongst the monkeys in the case of cholera as
as in that Of small pox. DR.. La Roche, in his
work "On Yellow Fever" he stated that "the
effects Of the epidemic constitution of the at
mosphere, during the prevalence of yellow fever
in New Orleans and elsew here, where most
striking Early in June, 1905 cats began to
droop and die, dogs also were severely and "a
tally effected, as well as rats. Many of the cats
died numb and torpid, whila others were seized
with delirium aod puking. Even fish and oys-
ters are known at times to participate to the
same calamity. In 1898, flies were found dead
in great numbers in the unhealthey parts Of the
city, At Gibralter, in addition to dogs and
monkeys, goat herder lost a great part OF his
flock, and almost the whole ceased to give milk.
AT New Orleans, in 1933 there was much sick
ness amongst horses, cattle and swine. Again,
lin lS4O, theT died with rotton tongues and
sheep with rotton ears" The "braxey" of
sheep in Scotland is analogous to the affection
last described. During the cholera at Greno,
BILE not swallow was to be seen, but these
birds re e-appeared"as the epidemic DISAPPEARED

"a Model Pastor"

Under this severely ironical caption the Al
bany Journal takes the Rev. Mr.. Patterson, of
Chicago, to task, for the treatment of the un-
fortunate Mrs. Burch. A minister Of Christ
should be the last man to cast off penitent or
to betray confidence. We regard its structures
as perfectly just. We give the Joa,nafs arti-
Gle entire;
ave have been waiting and watching, for
several days, for some appropriate and fitting
eulogium from the press, upon that model pas
cor, the Rev. Mr. Patterson, of Chicago. whose
eminently christian mode of discharging the
sacred duties oil the Confessional inaugurates a
more perfect law Of confidence between peni-
'ent and pastor! A daughter of the Church,
in deep affliction, laid her SORROWS, in peniton.
tial and touching language, before her spiritual
father, entreating him to present them, in her
behalf, to that merciful judge before whom all
who are heavy laden are invited to cast their
burdens. That rigid pastor, who treads
1.-The steep and thorny way TO Heaven"
instead of going with his penitent, bruised in
heart and crushed in spirit, before H i'm who is
easily to be entreated, handed her petition over
to human tribunal. The appeal of an erring
but contrite daughter Of the Church for her pas
tors intercession with her Heavenly Father
goes before an earthly court to be used for the
inhiction OF temporal punishment, and before
the world to aggravate her mort fcation and
misery! ......... ..,.. ....
This, we repeat, inaugurates a new era in
clerical ethics. 1t reforms the relation between
confesror and penitent; it corrects and dispels q
delusion under which Christians have laborcd.
A pastor takes the confession of member OF
his church and hands it over to civil magis,
trate! This certainly conflicts with long cher
shed predjudces. Pastors have suffered pains
and penalties, languished in prisons and defed
tortures rather than divulge the secrets Of the
confessional. Indeed, there is a higher, bright
er, hoier example. When an erring but PEN
itent woman came before our Savior, in reply to
thos who desired him to repel her, he rebuked
them all by telling him who is aoitsom sin to
cast the first stone.
"Our modern and model Chicago pastor re
verses the teachings and example of his Divine
Master by himself stoning the penitent who
asked for his prayers"
