Fly and splder-The Tables Turned.

AN old subscriber in Australia sends
to the GentLemdH'S Magazine the follow
ing: "Australia is the land of contra
riety in regard to animal and vegetable
life-such as black swans, the duck
mole, fish which climb trees, cherries
with the stone outside, and veritable
wooden pears but one fact regarding
spiders and flies is equally strange, for
here there is fly which catches spiders.
He is wiry, energetic, hard-looking GUS
toner; body longish and narrow; color,
literally half-mourning, and about three
quarters of an inch long; he builds a
clay nest for his Larvae, generally inside
locks, under verandah caves, or even in
cracks of woodwork, and sometimes in
the folds of curtains or clothes. In one
case, while staying at friends house
about twenty miles from Sidney, left
my waterproof coat hanging untouched
for about four days, and on taking it
down there was Il nest nearly built in
one of its folds, of about the size of
ones little finger and three or four
inches in length. On replacing the
coat and leaving it for another few days,
and then examining it, the nest was
finished; it had three compartments,
with one little white grub in each and
for its food several small green spiders,
not then absolutely dead, but apparently
in a state of coma. These spiders were
evidently taken out of the orange
orchard, as there were plenty of the
same kind alive about the trees but
last week, while up in the noun
tains, l watched one of the flies
carrying off black house-spider
quite as big as itself; and during the
course of the day saw him three sep
arate times, and on each occasion with
large spider. l could not find the
nest; but the farmer tells me that he
has occasionally done so, and found as
many as twenty good-sized spiders of
various kinds, all apparently dead, but
not deoayed, and generally five or six
larv@ of the fly.
"There is also large spider which
actually catches small birds occasional.
ly, and kills and devours theml He is
like wasp in color; body, shape and
size Of small hazel-nut; legs, long and
wiry; and he also looks hard-skinned

one about half as large again as the
other, and made of such q strong vel

ing into it, you feel a sensible stoppage
of your way for the moment. One bird
the wreck of which myself saw left in
the web-was rather smaller than the
English wren, and the web was STRONG
enough TO stand all its struggles, al
though little broken here and there.
GAS regards size of some spiders, We
have a hat-hodied, gray-colored one
here which builds no web, but lives un,

A Word to Country Girls.

There are large number OF the
young girls who expect in a few years
TO earn, or help 10 earn, their own liv-
ing. Our magazines and journals are
full of good advice TO boys with regard
TO the trade or profession they shall
choose, but the girls are left almost un-
guided. One word Of counsel, there
fore, cannot be amiss. 1t is, Keep out
of the cities. It is true there is a wider
range of occupations open to women in
the cities than in villages, but it is also
true that they are all now enormously
Overcrowded.
A few facts will outweigh pages of
argument here. The first occupation to
which educated women turn is, oddly
enough, authorship. Every woman who
can write a lovely letter believes herself
able to earn a comfortable living by her
pen. One New York magazine stated
lately that it had over three thousand
accepted manuscripts on hand; another
had two thousand four hundred. Reck-
on the manuscripts rejected in addition
to these, if you would find the chance
of success for you as an author Next
comes teaching. The positions in the
public schools in the large cities are
given to graduates of the high schools,
and the giving depends largely on the
political influence. An unknown stran-
ger has absolutely no chance. Situa-
tions as shop-girls are eagerly sought
for by country girls. Most of these
places are held by women who live at
home and are willing to work for three
or four dollars per week, which they
spend in dress alone. Not more than
six or seven dollars per week is paid in
New York or Philadelphia stores, ex-
cept in a very few instances, to women
who, through long training, have be-
come experts in silk, lace, etc. Out of
this the shop-girl, without other sup
port, must clothe, board and lodge her.
self. 1t is done, necessatily, in a
wretched attic. Seamstresses receive
one dollar per dozen for making tucked
and flounoed petticoats, one dollar and
twenty cents for fine chemise, and pay
out of this the weekly rent of one dollar
and fifty cents for the machine. Ninety
cents per dozen is paid for crocheting
infants caps.
Let the country girl, pining to "see
life" in the city, count these pittances,
and add on the other hand the rates of
food and lodging, treble those to which
she is accustomed, and she will under
stand why so many young girls give up
the hopeless struggle and sink into
death, or even into depths lower than
the grave. There are very few villages
or farm-neighborhoods in the country
where an energetic woman with strong
brain or skilled hands cannot earn her
living comfortably among the people
who know her, by teaching, sewing, OF
by domestic labor; provided she lays
aside false pride and remembers that
work is only disgraceful to woman
when it makes her unwomanly.-Yout

A RominIsconoo of the Santa Fo Trail.

AT an early hour in the morning we
climbed beside Dick on the box OF the
Southern Overland Mail COmpany's
stage, and settled ourself for an interest
ing drive on the trail itself. Between
Las Vegas and Santa Fe lie mountains
which it would be impossible TO GROSS,
and we made a long detour to the south.
All around us were hills covered with
dwarf cedar and pinOH, and presenting
rather a desolate appearance from the
trail, which wound around and among
them. At Tecolote we first changed
horses, and although nearly every writer
who has visited New Mexico has de-
scribed this and other native villages as
resembling limekiiRs, the fitness Of the
comparison is so obvious and complete
that no one could suggest any improve
ment on ii. And now we we're brought
into contact with an experience of the
Santa Fe Trail which was of any thing
but an agreeable nature. To be>sure,
the officials on the train from Trinidad
complained that the rifles furnished on
their end of the line, where they were
most likely TO be needed, were not so
good as those on the eastern division,
where only the semi-ocoasional tramp
was encountered. To be sure, too, they
spoke in cheerful local parlanoe at Las
Vegas of having ''had a man for break
fast" (euphemism for q murder during
the previous night, and the existence
Of powerful vigilance committee was
