OOA1NU AS0 wVVs @ 80
White at work 90 day In The ns,d, I
accidentally Destroyed the web Of 4
common spider. Curious to know what
the little creature woald do In its great
calamity, 1 madsmysslf comfortable and
awaited results. The spider not In the
least disheartened ~ ~ loss, immedi-
ately commenced building another web.
Il first described = sircle-net regular.
but agreeing with ~ irregularities Of
the spires Of grass n which IL was
suspended in vertieal position. Hav.
ing strengthened this outer line (Which
may be likened to . iAlloe Of . carriage
wheel,) by passing around It several
times, aiding each time thread, II pro-
cestied to form the spokss. II asoended
to the upper edge OF the circle, and secur-
Ing its thread, swung %, slowiy descend
ing to tho lower edge, where It fastened
tho other end. Ascending this last for
med line to about the centre, and fasten-
ing its thread, 1t proceeded again to the
circumference, thus forming another
spoke In the wheel. It continued this
operation until enough spokes were
made, then, beginning at the centre or
hub, it passed round and round In enlar-
ging circles, until It had formed
some six or eight threads, about one
fourth Of an inch apart. This noticed
was not done with that care which mar.
ked its subsequent work; but It war only
intended las afterward saw to be .
sort Of stay-lath, and not a permanent
affair. 1t now iarted to the outside of
the web, aud commenced to weave in
the wool, which was done by passing
thread from spoke to spoke around the
wheel, in diminishing circles, the dis
tance between them being determined
by the length of the spiders hind lea, for
it walked OH the line spun at tho previ-
Gus revolution, and guided the new
thread with Que of its hind feet, holding
it toward the centre a. much "a possible
and allowing it to run between two Of
Its claws around pulley. As it passed
over its spoke 1t would with this hind
foot press the newly formed thread to
it, thus firmly uniting it. In the same
manner it proceeded on until it came to
the stay -laths, when 1t fell to work, and
il twinkling, tore them away, aud
soon finished its work, and retroated to
Its corner to await the approach Of some
luckless fly. Twice during the operation
its thread broke, but not noticing 1t
until il got to the next spoke, It did not
retrace its steps, but fastened it where
it was, THUS leaving break. Nearly
oil OF the webs that / have examined
have the same defect. That which sur
prised me most was the extrome rapidi-
ty Of the spiders movements, A. il was
not probably moro than ten minutes
from the time Of destroying The web
before another was completed.

NOTHING LIKE Nothing

berless "professors" who go "tramp,

country, peddling a weak article, by
which ''in twenty days" they guarran-
tee to set man thoroughly up In the
English language. An instance in point
comes from Greenville, Alabama, where
a "professor" had labored with the
yonth Of that people, aud taught them
to dote on grammar according to "Mor-
ris's" system. During one ofthe lectures
the sentence MARY milks the COW" was
given out to I've parsed. Each word had
been parsed save one which fell to Bob
L, a sixteen year-old, near the
foot OF the class, who commenced thus:
"Cow is n noun, feminine gender, sing
ulnr, number third person, and stands
for Mayy', "Stands for Maryn said
the excited professor. GLOW do you

the noble pupil, "ifthe COW didn't stand
for Mary, ho'r couid Mary milk her?"-

SUNLIGHT A NECEssIrY.-Sun baths
cost nothing, and are the most refresh
ing life. giving baths that one can take,
whether sick or well. Every housekesp
er knows the necessity Of giving her
woolens the benefit Of the sun, from
time to timo, and especially after long
rainy season, ora long absence Of the
sun. Many will think Of the injury
their clothes are liable to, from damp
ness, who viii never reflect that an
occasional exposure Of their own bodies
to the sunlight is equally necessary to
their own health. Tho sunbaths cost
nothing, and that is a misfortune, for
people are still dcluded with the idea
that those things only can DO good or
useful which cost money. Let it not
be forgotten three of Gods beniflcent
gifts to man three things, the most nee
essary to healtli-sunlight, fresh air and
water, are free to all; you can have them
In abundance, without money and with
out price, if you will. II you would
enjoy good health, then see to it that
you arc supplied with pure air to
breathe all the time; that you batho for
an hour or 40 In the sunlight; and that
you quench your thirst with no other
fluid than water.

LIVING BY TIE DAY. compare,
says John Newton, tho troubles which
we have to undergo in the course of u
year to great bundle Of faggots, far to

require US to carry the whole at once.
He mercifully unties the bundle, and
gives US first one stick, which we are to

we are to carry tomorrow, and 30 on.
This we might easily manage, II we
would only take the burden appointed
for Us each day; but we choose to
increase our troubles by carrying yes

adding to-morrow's burden to our

another way. We may consider tho

letter but the letter for the day. Now
We may be strongly tempted to unseal

CHEAP WAY TO FEED A Horse. In
the spring or midsummer, when hay
and gr ain get dry and harsh, 1t is not
best, nor always safe, to feed grain and
hay in bulk. for there is danger Of
permanent injury to the horse, although
the usual process Of lnoisteniDg the feed
IL gone through with. The cheapest
and by far the easiest way for the tired
horse, is to cut the hay or straw with o
suitable cutter. Mixing oats, bran,
shorts or meal with 1t, and thoroughly
mixing, you will then relieve the horse;
for he will get through with his feed IN
a reasonable time, and can lie down to
rest, instead Of being obliged to stand
Up all night to eat his hay. This IL the
cheapest method Of feeding a horse, and
the healthiest way also. The heaviest
teams used in teamiDg over the mount
aims OF the south are fed in this way
rye straw being used. 1t is free from
dust, and those horses are scarcely
known to be sick, to have the heaves or

THE suppression, by King Victor Emmanuel
of all journals which published the papal de-
cree communicating him, illustrates the
progress Of religious liberty and the weakening
OF the power of the Eomish church over its
members. Time was when the threat of ex-
communication brought the faughtest mon
arch on his knees; but Victor Emmanuel de-
fes the thunders of the Vatican and shows the
world that the pontiff who arroganted infalli-
blity for himself the other day is but a weak,
driveiing old man WHOM the people in their as
pirations for bodily and emental freedom need
not be afraid of.
But the encyclical letter of Plus TX. against
those who have arrested or promoted the
transfer OF Rome to the Kingdom of Italy is as
harmless as piece OF waste paper as against
Victor Emmanuel. By the discipline of the Ro-
man Catholic Church, kings and queens and
their children are not included in apy geners,
sentence of excommunlcailon, unless they he
specially named. Pope Plus merely issued a
general anathema, in which the name OF the
King of Italy does rot occur, We cannot see
that Plus TX. has any serious ground for com
plaint against Victor Emmanuel. The inhab-
itants of the small remainder OF the territory OF
the Papal Church, spontaneously voted, py an
