PET SPIDERS.

As spiders are for the most part banlshed
from every room where they are likely to
hear music, opportunities are very seldom
afforded of'witnessing their behavior I'M
der its influence. but occasionally people
are met with who dom share the general
antlpa,hy TO the interesting and ill-used
little creatures. A few wears ago the
writer had u conversation about spiders
with the waiter n Messrs. Boflins well
known diningrooms in Oxford. This
man had pet spider which lived in the
sitting-room at his home. and he said
that he could always induce it to come out
OF its hole by whistling. TIE little Great
nre 5 web was carefully preserved from in
jury. and 1.-THE time this Interesting circum-
stance was related to the writer, the spi-
der was regarded As the pet of the family.
similar eases might perhaps be furnished
by obseryant lovers of the animal world.
but unfortunately very few people seem
10 be aware of the SPIDERS pariality Tor
music. If experiments were made with
different kinds of instruments by skilliul
musicians, it is extremely probable that
very Interesting results might be obtained

my stomach had joined in the revolt,

Clarence CarmaD, youth Of four
teen, died the death OF hero at Lam
singburg. n. Y, Tuesday evening.
He was skating with a host OF young
companions on the river, having in
his special company a girl of twelve
years. named Cora Geer, when both
skated in an air hole. Clarence
caught his young mate and held her
up until he was quite exhausted with
calling for help, when with the words
Hold to the ice, Cora, I'm going,
good by he sank, and was drowned.
The little girl did hold fast to the ice
until the cries OF other boys and girls
brought assistance and she was res
cued. The brave boy might have
saved himself, but with heroic self
sacrifice preferred to save his play
mate.

Special Agent Somerville, formerly

now on duty among the moonshin-

OF his surroundings may be gathered
from the following extract from a
letter received by a personal friend

To do this, will want steamboat

Simple Lessons in Science.

Force is that which sets a body In
motion, as, for instance, the police
force, which makes body move.
A liquid violently resists all at
tempt to force it into close confine-
ment, spreading itself out so as to
make its surface level; and many
liquids communicate their peculiari-
ties to those who iInbibe them.
When anything is weighed in wa
ter, it suffers loss OF weight This
Is especially true in the case OF salt.
A pound avoirdupois is exactly
equal 20 1000 grains. Take a pound
Of sand and count.
When bodies become heated, move
ments little backwards and for
wards take place as you must have
seen yourself in the case Of street
fight.
Heat causes copper roo to be ex
tended, and it has the same effect
upon policsman's staff.
Most physicians teach that noise is
the result OF IA single blow given on
the ear: music OF series OF blows.
In our own experience, however, we
have Observed that noise was the re-.
suit in both cases; In the latter, more
unmusical even than the former.
Box a small boys ears. first singly,
and afterwards repeatedly, and you
will soon see, or rather hear
Attraction and affinity are synoDy
nous in chemistry, but in life, we
often find the greater the affinity, the
less the attraction.
Some precious stones are called
catseyes; diamonds, surely might be
called cats claws, since thoy scratch
everybody.
Electricians neatly divide all bod
les into conductors and non conduc-
tors, but in the world, there are bod
les who. although they never mount
ed the monkey board of an omnibus,
nevertheless are Gals.

Too Heavy for Him.

This comes from Waterford. Lou
don county, Virginia:
A colored meeting was lately held
In this place, at which the attendance
was largo and the converts numerous.
The stove-pipe happening to fall. the
minister asked one OF the brethren 10
put 1t in position again. Brother
Johnson essaysd to do it, but being
rather slow, the old minister said,
Pick 1t up. bruddsr, pick it up; de
Lord won't let 1t burn you"
Brother Johnson, with faith in the
assurance, seized the hot pipe, and OF
course had his hands blistered. He
dropped it with the Inappropriate re-
mark, "De debbil he won'tl"
1t was just a little heavy for him. =
