The Spider Changes his skin.

One of the most singular facts in re-
lation to this insect is, that IL casts its
skin once every year. In order to effect
this, it forms in ONE corner of the web,
a kind of thick purse, similar to that in
which il used to enclose its eggs. Plac-
ing itself then in the centre of its web,
it begins to distend its body with all the
violence il can exert, for several min
utes, until it splits its skin the whole
length of the back. This being accom-
plished, it gradually forces its body
through the aperture, drawing out its
legs one by one, until it is entirely free
from its covering. The skin retains
the entire form of the spider, and is
perfectly transparent. The insect it
self, after this great change, remains
gelatinous, and is of a pale green color.
In this condition it %retires to the afore-
mentioned purse or bag, leaving the
skin suspended in the web. This shelter
it is unable 10 quit for about three or
four DAYS.

The barber was a Western artist,

cumulated inside his shirt collar, the
accommodating barber showed 1t down

brush.
This performance repeated two or
three times, and the customer began 10
realize what was going on. Hence
forward he took a lively interest in the
proceeding. He said:
"What in the name of the bird with
the broad and sweeping wing are you
doing?"
at didn't seem to run down." said
the barber, apolOgetically, "and so l
crammed il down with the brush"
The customer acted like a man who
had just made the discovery that a rat
had built her nest between his shoulder
blades and had kittens there; so he
yelled:
"Cram your crammed head to cram
nation !" and then turning a double
somersault out of his chair he kicked
at the reflection of the barber in the

1t seemed less than an instant, and

1t seemed less than an instant, and
yet she was already enyeloped in flames.
For some moments the man was utterly
daZed, stupefied at the sight of what he
had done. He heard her shriekS, her
screams Of agony, and never moved
she few wildly from side to side of the
room, every moment increasing the
flames that leaped around her; she
shrieked for help, she called on her
husband and her children. The eldest
boy ran toward her, but she screamed
to him to go back, and then the poor
child pitteOusly implored his father to
hep her.
People from the street burst open the
door, and Dennis, at last reused from
his stupOr, helped to smother the flames
with blankets snatched from their
wretclltd bed. 1t was too late; the
unfortunate wOman was burned beyond
the possibility of recovery; but she
lived long enough to remember how
she used to love this man, and to feel
that the love was not dead, only sleep
ing.
The usual questions were put to Mary
Connolly when she seemed fit to be
examined on the subject of the circum-
stances which were to cause her death:
but she did not seem to comprehend
what was required of her, and nothing
that she said could be construed into a
charged of any kind against her husband.
"Sure he always loved me, poor Den
mis-, Perhaps / wasn't as good a wife
as | ought to be. but he loved me
always, know he did"
She turned toward him as she spoke,
and with a sweet smile that seemed to
restore much of its vanished beauty to
her face, untouched by the fire, she
closed her eyes with a gentle sigh, and
passed into the sleep that will not be
broken till time shall he no more.
Dennis Connolly passed through the
formallty of a trial, and, by advice of
his counsel, pleaded Not Guilty" He
was acquitted, to Mrs. DearbOrn's dis
gust, when she read the verdict.
Nothing will convince me he didn't
cause the poor girls death" said Mary's
old mistress, "and | wish they had
hanged him; it would have been better.
for nothing will alter Dennis Connolly"
But Mrs. Dearborn was mistaken.
The conscience-stricken man was chang
ed to the core of his heart. The sight
or smell of liquor turned him sick. He
worked like a slave for his motberless
children, and his prayer is to live
their sake. For his own, he would
welcome death; for, sleeping or waking,
hat figure envelOped i'll flames is ever
before his eyes, the shrieks of that
tnguished voice are ever ringing in his
'ars. And he knows that it will be so
Ill the hour of his death. But sincere
repentance and earnest prayer give him
he hope that at last Gods forgiveness
will let him meet his lost wife in {
heaven. {
