Spiders that XIII Birds.

Every body knows that spiders catch
flies and other insects; but that some of
them kill little birds may not be so gen
erallv known. A traveller in Brazil tells
us that he caught one of them in the
very act, while going through forest
in the Amazons. The spider was n
hairy fellow, with a body two inches
long, and eight legs measuring seven
inches each, from end to end. The
writer, describing the incident, says: g
was attracted by a movement of the
monster on a tree trunk; it was close
beneath a deep crevice in the tree,
across which was stretched dense
white web. The lower part of the web
was broken, and two small birds, finches,
were entangled in the pieces. One of
them was quite dead, and the other
nearly so. l drove away the monster,
and took the birds, but the second one
soon died. The fact Of species of My
gale, to which genus this spider belongs,
sallying forth at night, mounting trees,
and sucking the eggs and young of hum
ming-birds, has been recorded long ago
by Madam Merriam and Palisot de Beau
vols: but, in the absence of any con-
firmation, it has come to be discredited.
From the way the fact has been related
il would appear that it had been merely
derived from the report of natives, and
had not been witnessed by the narratOrs.
The Mygales are quite common insects;
some species make their cells under
stones, others form artislical tunnels in
the earth, aud some build their dens III
the thatch of houses. The natives call
them Aranhas carangueijeiTas, or crab
spiders. The hairs with which they are
clothed come off when touched, and
cause a peculiar and almost maddening
irritation The first specimen that
killed and prepared was handled incau-
tiously, and suffered terribly for three
DAYS afterward / think this is not Ow-
ing to any poisonous quality residing in
the hairs, but to their being short and
hard and thus getting into the fine
creases of the skin. Some Mygales are
Of immense size. One day | saw the
children belonging to an Indian family
with one of these monsters secured by
a cord round its waist, by which they
were leading it about the house as they
would a dog"

Tit for Tat.

When a certain English nObleman
was ambassador at COnstantinople one
Of the Secretaries had an audience with
the Sheikh ul Islam, who, at the mo-
ment of his visitors entrance, was en-
gagged in the performance of his devO-
tions. The Secretary sat down while
the deyotee finished prayers, which were
ended by an invocation to Allah to for
give a suppliant true believer the sin OF
holding direct intercourse with a Giaour.
His conscience thus relieved. the old
multi rose from his knees and smilingly
welcomed his guest. But his guest,
who was bit of a wag, in his turn,
begged permission 10 perform his devo
tions. He gravely went through an
Arabic formula, and ended by begging
Allah to forgive a good Christian the
crime of visiting a faithless dog of al
Infidel. The astOnished old multi wa'
nettled, but with true Oriental imper
turbability he bore the insult without {
word.

LYING.

Not ali Of living lies
In the swift ebb and flow that men call
BREATH
Some lives grow mightier from the touch of
And scale Immortal skies.
.e,T Most truly do those i've
Whose deeds above the clinging mists of
Shine like "A star from cIoudless heights sub
And such deep yearnings give,
That the pulse throbs andfhrfns
A nobier strain has echoed through our
dreams,
And all our beiag ans. e-rf
We list with eager cars,
We trace the path which scales the mountain
We know they liHgered not for rest or sleep,
Those men whose hopes and fears
Still pointed upward, where
truths inpuntain stream CLEANS white be-
They could not slake their thirst in founts
that lie
beneath that upper air.
For them there is no death;
Immortal grew they An immortal quest,
And to their goal, noble band abreast,
strive on with bated breath.
Nay, living is not Life;
You can not win il ina selfish dream,
In sheltered wales beside a lotus stream
But in ceaseless strife
A strife like his of yore
Who 20 saveOthefs dared the dragons fold! o
And still the raveuing wrong, though strong
and bold.

Alligator Hunting.

About a mile below where we first
came upon the creek, and two miles
from where it empties into the bay, we
reached tide-water, and Jack told US to
look out now for gators. Sure enough,
we saw two monster old saurians lying
out on the bank summing themselves.
They took the alarm, however, while
we were yet long way off, and plunged
into the water As we neared the spot
we saw several others swimming in
different directions in the same hole
They all disappeared when they saw US,
so we laid down our luggage and sat in
the shade of tree TO await results. In
a few minutes one stuck his head out of
the water not more than thirty yards
away. whereupon Captain S. gave him
a charge of buckshot in the vicinity of
the eye and ear. He lashed the water
into a foam in his gyratiOns, and sank
out of sight, probably mortally wounded
Presently another one put his eyes out
of the water to look at US. He was near
the opposite shore, perhaps fifty yards
from where we sat. let 90 at him, and g.,
although 1 scored a palpable hit, did
not kill him. a gator always tells you,
unerringly, whether you have killed or
only wounded him. If wounded, he
pIunges and thrashes around at a lively
rate for a few seconds and sinks out of
sight, but if killed dead, he performs
about the same series Of evOlutions,
turns on his back and dies, remaining
on the top of the water. This is the
time to go for him if you wish to cap
ture him, for he only lies on top of the
water fifteen or thirty minutes, when the
air escapes from the lungs, and he sinks.
1t is very difficult, indeed, TO kill them
on dry land nowadays, for they are shot
at so much that they are exceedingly
wild. But whenever you flush one from
the bank and he goes into the water, sit
down and rest, and you may depend
upon it you will have to wait but few
minutes before be will put his large black
! eyes out of the water and look around
| to see if you are still there; then you
have a fine target for your rifle The
smoke had hardly cleared away after
my last shot, when third gator looked
up near us and instantly caught a right
! fielder in his optic that turned him over.
We then supposed we had made it so
warm for them that no others would
show themselves for a while, and started
on down the stream. The Captain and
l had gone a little ahead, and Jack who
had not yet started, called to us and
said, 50 Here's another 'gator!" l went
back, and there, sure enough, was an
old fellow, swimming along down the
creek as uncOncernedly as though he
had never heard the report of a gun in
his life. l waited until he came within
fifty feet of me, and then gave him one
in the leeward eye. He turned two or
three somersaults, and stopped on his
| back with one fOrefoOt sticking out of
the water. We left him there as warn
! ing to his kind not to tempt the deadly
accuracy of a Stevens rifle. As we were
now thoroughly stated with this class of
sport, we returned Sarasota

THE Milwaukee sam says man has
invented a device to prevent market
men from palming off old eggs for fresh
ones. The invention is thus described !:
g He proposes to arrange a rubber
stamp in the nest of every hen, with a
movable date. This stamp is arranged
with pad which is saturated with in
deiible ink. When the hen lays an egg,
as is well known, she kicks slightly with
her hind leg. An electric disk is so ar
ranged that her foot touches it, when
the stamp turns over on to the ink pad,
and then revolyes, stamping the date on
the egg. The hen then goes off about
her business, the farmers hired girl re-
moves the egg, replaces the stamp,
which is ready for another. On each
evening, after the hens have retired to
their downy rOost, with the rOOsters, the
date of the stamp is changed to the fol-
lowing day, and the good work goes on.
In this way there can be no cheating.
You 90 70 the grocery and ask for fresh
eggs, and the grocery man says he has
some eggs of the vintage Of January %,

and there are the figures, which can not

the man to get rid of his eggs, knowing
