In order to test what spider could do in
the way of eating, we arose about daybfe
one morning,t0 supplyrbis fine web with
fly. AT first. However, the spider did not
come from his retreat, so we peeped
among the leaves, and there discovered
that an earwig had been caught and was
now being feasted on. The spider left the
earwig, rolled up the fly, and at once, re-
Mrnedsto His "first course" This was at
halt-past five, A. NJ, in September. At
seven "A. NJ, theearwig had been denol-
ished, and the spider, after resting awhile,
and probably enjoying nap came down
for the fly, which he had finished at nine
A. Nj. Alittle after nine we supplied him
with asdaddy- dy-long-legs, which was eaten
by noon. At one, O'clock q blowfly was
greedily seized, and then Immediately,
with an appetite apparently no worse for
his previous indulgence, he COM
menced Out the blowfly. During
the day and towards the evening,
great many small green flies, or what are
popularity termed midges, bad been caught
in the web of these we counted one hun
dred and twenty all dead and fast prisoners
in thespider's net. Soon after dark, pro-
vided with a lantern, we went to examine
whether the spider was suffering from in
digestion or in any other way from his
previous meals; instead, however, of being
thus affected he was employed inrolliDg up
together tile various little green nidges,
which he then took to his retreat and ate.
This process he repeated, carrying up the
lot in little detachments, until the web was
eaten, for the web and its contents were
bundled mp together. A slight rest of
about an hour was followed by thefnost in
dustrious webmaking process, and before
day break another web was ready tobe used
in the same way. Taking the relative size
of the spider and of the creatures 1t ate,
and applying this to man, it would be
somewhat as follows: At daybreak a
small alligator was eaten; at seven A. M.
alamb; at nine A. NJ. a young cameleopard;
at one o'clock sheep, and during the night
one hundred and twenty larks. This, we
believe, would be very fair allowance for
a man during twentyfour hours; and
could we lind one gifted with such an ap-
petite and such digestion, we can readily
comprehend how he might spin five miles
Ofweb without killing himself, provided
he possessed the necessary machine.-

I.nre-Rerired-.A scene.

The Toronto Globe describes scene which
occurred there recently ina police court,
as follows: no L 3. [E1JTTJ
A sweet-minded creature named Mrs.
Trebleeock, who, through the unmannerly
interference of those inquisitive indiYldu-
ais, the police, has occasionally figured in
the police court, on Friday last appeared
in anew role, being nothing less than, the
applicant for decree of Judicial separa-
tion from her spouse, in order to allow her
to protect her earnings from his rapacious
grasp. The husband acquiesced in the ap-
plication. As soon as the final order was
Issued, however, which annulled the marri-
age, the thought of old times so overcame
both parties to the bargain, that involun-
tarily they fell into one another's arms, and
a scene SO loving and aftectionate was wit
messed by the attendants at court, as to
raise the doubt in their minds whether two
such amiabe creatures could ever have
quarreled. Kisses were exchanged. by the
brace, and hand shaking undergone, and
mutual good wishes expressed in such a
variety of forms as to shake modesty out
of its boots. The ''scene" was only closed
when the worthy couple were informed
that the dignity of the court forbade such
O public exhibition of their love-
