THE SPIDER.

The intelligence and power evinced
by the spider in securing its prey has
often attracted attention; but we have
seldom heard Of so remarkable display
Of these faculties as we witnessed short
time since. A small-sized spider had
made his web on the under side of
table. Early one morning, cockroach
was noticed on the floor, directly under
the web, and, on approaching to take it
away, it was found that the spider had
thrown line around one Of its legs, and,
while the observer was looking at it, the
spider came down and lassoed the oppo-
site leg of the cockroach. The spider
then went up to his web, but instantly
came down and fastened line to anoth-
er leg, and continued for several minutes
darting down and fastening lines to
different parts Of the body of his victim
The struggles Of the cockroach (though
a fun-grown one) were unavailing to
effect his escape-he could not break his
bonds, and his efforts seemed only to
entangle him the more. As his strug-
giles became more and more feeble the
spider threw his lines more thickly
around him; and when he had become
nearly exhausted the spider proceeded
to raise him from the floor. He at first
raised the head and forward part Of the
body nearly half an inch then raised
the other end and so continued to work,
till the cockroach was elevated five or
six inches from the floor. Thus, hung
in chains" the victim was left to die.
The spider was, as before remarked, q
small one, and could not have been more
than tenth Of the weight Of his prey.
Spiders crawling more abundantly and
conspicuously than usual upon the in
door walls Of our houses foretell the
near approach Of rain; but the follow
ing anecdote intimates that some Of
their habits are equally the certain in
dication of frost being at hand. Quat-
remer Disionval, seeking to beguile the
tedium OF his prison hours at Utrecht,
had studied attentively the habits Of the
spider: and eight years Of imprison-
ment had given him leisure to be well
versed with its ways. In the December
Of 1894, the French army, on whose sue
cess his restoration to liberty depended,
was in Holland, and victory seemed GER
tain if the frost, then Of unprecedented
severity, continued. The Dutch envoys
had failed to negotiate peace, and
Holland was despairing, when the frost
suddenly broke up. The Dutch we're
now exulting, and the French Generals
prepared to retreat; but the spider
forewarned Disjonval that the thaw
would be Of short duration, and he
knew that his weather monitor never
deceived. He contrived to communicate
with the army Of his countrymen; and
its Generals, who duly estimated his
character, relied upon his assurance
that within a few days the waters would
be again passable by troops. They de
layed their retreat within twelve days
the frost had returned - the French
army triumphed, Disionval was iber
ated, and a spider had brought dowr
ruin on the Dutch nation.

Mr.. John Owens, who lives two miles
this side Of Florida Town, on the eastern
shore of Escambia bay, related to one Of
our citizens recently most horrifying
affair. His statement was-and he gave
it as positive fact-that while party
numbering some three or four rwere taking
sea bath, their attention was directed
to little 10 or 12-year-old boy whom
they had left on a reef in shoal water
near the beach, the men having ventured
into deeper water. On looking in the
direction of the child they realized the
awful fact that the boy was being swal-
lowed by an alligator, fully half the vic
TINS body still being visible, and then
suddenly disappearing in the frightful
jaws of the monster, whose tremendous
mouth was plainly seen by each one
present. They at once returned to the
shore, but not trace Of the unfortu-
nate lad could be discovered, save the
blood which hoated on the water

Tea and cofEee-drinking does not
strengthen the nerves by any means,
though they temporarily stimulate them.
In fact the nervousness and peevishness
of our times are chiefly attributed to tea
and coffee. The digestive organs Of con-
firmed coffee drinkers are in state Of
chronic arrangement, producing fretful
and lachrymose moods. Cocoa and
chocolate are neutral in their psychio
effects and are really the most harmless
