Spiders crawling more abundantly and
conspicuously than usual upon the in
door walls of our houses foretell the near
approach of rain; but the following an
ecdote intimates that some of their hab-
its are the equally certain indication of
frost being at hand. Quartermaster Dis
jonval, seeking to beguile the tedium of
his prison hours at Utrecht, had studied
attentively the habits of the spider; and
eight years of imprisonment had given
him leisure to be well versed in its ways.
In December of 1894 the French army,
on whose success his restoration to lib
erty depended, was in Holland, and VIC
tory seemed certain if the frost, then Of
unprecedented severity, continued.
The Dutch envoys had failed to nego-
tiate peace, and Holland was despair
ing, when the frost suddenly broke. The
Dutch were now exulting, and the
French generals prepared to retreat, but
the spider warned Disjonval that the
thaw would be of sEc 1T duration, and he
knew that this weather monitor never
deceived. He contrived to communicate
with the army of his countrymen and its
generals, who duly estimated his charac-
ter, relied upon hisassurance that within
a few days the waters would again be
passable by troops. They delayed their
retreat. Within twelve days the frost
had returned-the French army tri-
umphed. Disjonval was liberated, and a
spider had brought down ruin on the
Dutch nation.

Fidelity.

Never forsake friend. When enemies

the heart, when the world is dark and
cheerless is the time to try true friend
ship. The heart that has been touched
with true gold will redouble its efforts
when the friend is sad and in trouble.
Adversely tries real friendship. They
who run from the scene of distress betray
their hypocricy and prove that interest
only moves them. IF you have friend
that loves you, who has studied your in
terest and happiness, be sure to sustain
him in adversely. Let him feel that his
former kindness is appreciated and that
bis love was not thrown away, Real
fidelity may be rare, but it exists in the
human heart. Who has not seen and
felt its power? They only deny its
worth and power who never loved q
frield or labored to make friend happy.

Scheme of Creation.

Every being exists not only for him
self, but forms necessarily portion of |;
great whole, of which the plan and the
idea go infinitely beyond it, and in
which it is destined to play part. II
is thus that inorganic nature exists not
only for itself, but to serve as a basis fol
the life of the plant and the animal
and in their service it performs functions
of kind greatly superior to those as
signedsfo it by the laws which are purely
physical and chemical In the same
manner all nature, our globe, admirable
as is its arrangement, is not the final end
of creation but it is the condition of
the existence of man. 1t serves as an
instrument by which his education is
accomplished, and performs in his SER
vice functions more exalted and more
Aoble than its own nature, and for which
it was made. 1t is, then, the superior
being that solicits, SO to speak, the
creation of the inferior being, and asso-
ciates 1t to his own functions; and it is
cO.. set t. say that inorganic nature is
made for organized nature, and the
whole globe lor man, as both are made
for God. the origin and end Of all things

IIerOlSnl.

In 1706, Turin was besieged by power
full army of the French, and though the
Turinese opposed to their besiegers the
most resolute and skillful defence, and
kept them at bay for many weeks, by
foiling their attacks with frequent sur
prises and sorties, and with heavy firing
from the walls, yet, at the end of three
months, the assailants were so far adj
vanced, that all the defensive fortifica-
tions had been mastered, and one alone
remained to the Turinese, the capture of
which, seemingly probable, would rem
der the citadel and the town incapable
of further defence. The governor of Tu-
rim, Count Daun, in order to save the last
post of defence, and to get rid of a tre-
mendous battery which threatened it,
ordered a chosen body of men to ap-
proach the battery by undermining the
ground, and to destroy it by subterran-
eous explosion. The captain of these
miners was Pietro Micca. He obeyed
Daun's orders with the liveliest solicitude
and most unremitting labor, and got so
far in undermining the battery, that
nothing remained to be done but to lay
the train of powder, and to set fire to it.

raneous operations by the usual expe-
dient of putting dry peas upon drum
head, which, by their disquietude, indi-
cate that something wrong is going on
below, began to delve and agitate the
ground from above in such manner as
to apprise the underminers that they
might every minute expect a meeting
with the counterminers. The roof of the
subterraneous passage shook down so
much dust, and brought such unwelcome
noises over the heads of the former, as
to show that the battery-holders had no
mind to be blown up without their own
consent. The minutes of the awful crisis
soon contracted into moments. For the
whole body of sappers to retire without
leaving some one Individual to blow up
the mine, was to give up the whole pro-
ject. No resource for its success remain
ed but for some one to set fire instantly
to the powder in the mine, though this
necessarily inferred the death of the
firer. Pietro Micca took this task upon
himself, and resolved to perish in accom-
plishing it. He ordered his company to
retire. Remember" he said to them,
in a melancholy voice, "to recommend
my tender children to the paternal heart
of our king. Let him be their supporter
and father. die joyfully to serve my
country and king" He then advanced
to the mass of powder that was to be ex-
ploded, set fire to it, and blowing up the
battery, expired under its ruins. To this
devoted act of Micca Turin for that time
owed its preservation.

A Case in Law.

Some time during the past summer a
case in law of considerable interest
came up and was tried before Justice L.,
in an eastern village.
"It seems that the orchard of one OF
cur honest old farmers had been at diff
ferent times visited, and many of the
best trees robbed of their fruit. Oh
course Farmer E had quite curl
osity to find out who was in the habit OF
appropriating his apples. So cautiously
concealing himself in the shadow of the
fence, he discovered fellow in the act
of filling his bag with his best fruit
Farmer E started for the youth
with his gun, but the fellow took to his
heels and was in the act of getting over
the fence when a discharge from the gun
laid him low
"On the trial, the boy, who was pres
ent, testified to the shooting, that large
number of shot entered his back, and
although many had been removed, still
there were many left that plagued him
considerably
'"The Doctor, who was called, testified
to the fact of finding number of shot
in the flesh, of extracting some, and oi
the impossibility of removing all, and OF
the strong probability that complainant
would always carry about his person a
supply of lead.
"The lawyers rested the case, and the
learned Justice rose to instruct the Jury
when, from the farther corner of the
room appeared the form of very benev.
olent but extremely seedy-looking indi-

very rusty pair of spectacles; and point

snow-storms have more than once
playedan important part in history.
At Towton, the decisive battlcof the
Wars Of the Roses, the Lancastrian
soldiers, having the snow driven in
their faces by a strong wind, fell
upon each other by mistake, and
were easily routed. In one Of the
numerous wars between Denmark
and Sweden, the Danes escaladed a

of the snow that had drifted against
the wall One Of the Jacobite no
bles, condemned after the rising in

which delayed the arrival Of the
death-warrant for two days, during
which time his friends contrived his
escape. Napoleon's column ofattack
at Eylau, III 1S07,which should have
fallen upon the Russian flank, was
50 blinded by the flying snow as to
come out right in front Of the great
central battery, and was almost ex-
terminated. The same cause occasi-
oned the French defeat at Pultusk a
month earlier; while the destruction
ofthe British army by the Afghans,
in 1912, was materially aided by
. snowfall which blocked the passes
several fathoms deep, rendering any
help from India impossible.
