ONLY female spiders spin webs. They
own ali the real estate, and the males have
to live a vagabond life, under stones and
in other obscure places, and if they are
troublesome about the house, they are
mercllessly killed and eaten. The skin of
the spider is tough and unyielding, and is
shed like the shells Of HOLSTERS and crabs,
to accommodate the animals growth. If
you poke over the rubbish in a female
spiders back yard, among her cast off cor
sets you will find the jackets of the males
who have paid for their sOciality with their
II, ,ss-trophies Of her barbarism, as truly
as sea, 0s show the savage nature Of the
red man.

Just what that robin wanted. One end
of the string hung floating, the other
fastened in the nett. Robin seized the
string and endeavored to pull 1t out. 1t
was too tightly fastened tor an ordinary
pull, and he accordingly took short
hold and violently threw his head back
