Touching Anecdote of a Spider

"A fine old English gentleman Mr..
NJ ,ggridge), with abundant leisure for
studies in natural history, has written
very entertaining book on insects, 10 one
chapter of which Gas critic asserts) he
"eleyates tie caracter Of the spider" It
is pleasant, at any rate, to know that he
feelings to elevate science in the direction
of mercy. The story is briefly as follows:
Moggridge had been in the habit of i'm
mersing for preservation of his different
specimens of spiders and ants in bottles Of
alcohol. He saw that they struggled for
a few minutes; but he thought that sensa.
ton was soon extngushed, and that they
were soon free from suffering. On one &C.
casion be wished to preserve large female
spider and "a Of her young ones that he
had captured. He put the mother into q
bottle of alcohol, and saw that after few
moments she folded her legs upon her body
and was at rest. He then put into the
bottle the young ones, who, of course,
manifested acute pain. What WAS his sur
prise to see the mother arouse herself from
her lethargy, dart round to, and gather her
young ones to her bosom, fold her arms
round them, and again relapse into insen-
sibility, until at length death came to her
relief, and the limbs, no longer controlled
by this maternal instinct, relaxed their
grasp and became dead! The effect Of the
exhibition upon him is a lesson to our COM
mon humanity. lie has applied chloro-
form before immersion. judging from the
above. the spider is certainly superior to
the human animal, IN the fact that alcohol
does not destroy her natural affection.

Well Ira says, she cost me a bundre'

laughed, and began to ridicule Ira, telling
him that the gun wasn't worth dose Of

buy a CARLOAD of such guns 10 New York

indignant. lie told Hack EFT that he talk

to 90 to a gun-sbop and learned some

"Well, just as Ira and Hackett got to

stepped up and scuIled himself into the

declaring, the gun to he nothing more than

gun was loaded. Ira said she was. Then.
said John, Riuking at the boys, "I'll bet

barrel about forty yards distant. At this
r., hesitated. lie looked at Scranton's
ne" be'ver sail that it wouii be cussed
shame to iuin such a hat as that. If some
one would put up an old hat he'd take the
bet. But John Scranton insisted upon
putting up his hat, and accused Ira of try
ing to crawl out of it Lecause he knew
