ACCORDING to an chronological au-
thority, spiders, without exception, prey
largely upon insects, and chiefly upon the
plant feeding or injurious insects.
IMPROPER and irregular feeding, over
work in a hot sun, going too long with
out water, and then giving too much, are
among the causes of bad digestion and

A NEW method for preserving the leaves
and tops of beet roots has recently been
devised in France, by means of very di-
lutte hydro-chloric acid. The prepared
nutriment is said to be very palatable to
cattle, and furnishes cheap and valuable
food. In view of the growing Importance
of beet culture in this country, the discov-
cry is of home importance.
To ToUGHEN GLAss.--Put the glass
vessel into a vessel of cold water, and
gradually heat the water boiling hot
then allow it to cool gradually of itself,
without taking out the glass. Goblets
treated in this way may, when cold, be
filled with boiling water, without crack
ing. Lamp chimneys may also be made
tougher by this process.
A WRITER in an Eastern paper says
| that the evergreens are not killed, the
foliage, the leaves only, are hurt, and, as
they fall, a new growth appears, and the
trees attain their former beauty and vigor

trees or hedges, to cut them back one
third, pruning well the side limbs.

PUMPKINS, as food for stock, find favo
with correspondent of the Maine Farmer
Last year he took twenty OK cart load
from an acre of land, which also yielde
at the same time crop of corn. He fe
his sheep upon them for two months, an
thus materially helped to fatten forty
which he sold in the fall for mutton, an
forty more which went into winte
quarters. Given to cattle, they saved
"vast amount of feed" What pumpkin
were left were cut up, placed IN the dry
house, and afterward soaked in milk fo
the swine.
THE man who has begun to live and wor
by artificial stimulant never knows wher
he stands, and can never count upon himse
with any certainty. He gets into his ca
tie servant who becomes the most tyra1
nical of masters. He may resolve to tur
him out, but will find himself reduced
the condition in which he can neither
with or without him. The use of stiml
liant to the brain power brings on a di
ease, in whose parOXysms a man is n
more his own master than in the ravins
of fever, a disease that few have ii
knowledge to understand, and for who's
manifestations the world has no pity
