. A Extraordinary Eruption.

Quite sensation was created in the
household of DR.. Kidwell, on Prospect
Avenue, few evenings since by an inn
mense flock of swallows taking possess
sion OF the kitchen. Although the flock
had been seen flying in circle over the
building for several hours, noo,one
imagined they contemplated entering
the house until an unusual noise was
heard in the kitchen chimney, and be-
fore any reason could be assigned for it
the stoyepipe was forced from its
place (and very warm stovepipe it was,
too, there being at the time fire in the
stove,) and the birds began, their un-
ceremonious entry into the room.
Naturally the servants were frightened
and ran in all directions. The little fell
lows continued to chase each other in
until the room appeared literally full,
numbering, so it was estimated by those
who viewed the strange scene through
window, upward of a thousand. WHY
they selected this spot for their raid is
unknown. After opening the doors and
windows, by persistent efforts and the
free use of brooms, sticks, ETC., the
feathery tribe were persuaded tofshome-

Something About Spiders.

The instinct of animals is always ar
interesting study. And it is no uncom
mon thing to meet with instances of ami
NAL sagacity which go to show that ami
mails, even the lowest species, are pos
sessed of sort of reasoning capacit,
which is greater than mere instinct. Ii
Chambers Journal there is cited an in
stance of this kind. A small spider had
been placed in the centre of a large
SPIDERS web some four feet above the
ground. The large spider soon rushed
from its hiding place under leaf to at
tack the Intruder, which ran up one oJ
the ascending lines by which the wei
was secured to the foliage.
Ihe big insect gained rapidly upon
the little one; but the fugitive was eaua]
to the emergency, for when barely an
inch ahead of the other it cut with one
OF its hinder legs the line behind itself,
thus securing its own escape, the fero-
clous pursuer falling to the ground.
The writer says: 1t is not the habit
OF spiders to cut the slender thread be-
low them when they are ascending to
avoid some threatened danger. As a
rule, spiders do not run from danger
unless there is hole close at hand-and
hole that is known to be unoccupied u,
From which it would seem that this little
creatures action was the result of some
sort of reasoning! Instinct led it to run
away, but it must have been something
more than instinct that led it to sever the
line, and SO cut off the pursuit.
The same writer says that spiders are
cannibals, and that they are naturally
pugnacious. But they do not FIGHT for
the satisfaction of eating one another.
'.When two spiders fight there is gener-
ally very good reason for the attack and
the vigorous defence that follows.
1t is not generally known that after
certain time spiders become incapable
OF spinning web from lack of material.
Ihe glutinous excretion from which the
slender threads are spun is not inexhaust-
IDLE, therefore spiders cannot keep on
new snares when the old
ones are destroyed. But they can avail
themselves of the web-producing powers
of their younger neighbors, and this they
do without scruple. As soon as SPIDERS
web-constructing material has become
exhausted and its last web has been de-
'troyed, it sets out in search of another
home; and unless it should chance to find
me that is tenantless, a battle usually
'nsues which ends only with the retreat
u death of the invader or defender ~

A Georgia Snake Story.

In our boyhood we often heard of a
hoop snake-one that, bringing its head
and tail together, rolled over and over
like a wagon wheel. 1t was said that
this snake did its execution with its tail.
| that being pointed like a needle. We
| never had the terror of seeing one of
them, but did, when about eight wears
old see jointed snake. The Joints were
about six inches long. When alarmed
the snake fell to pieces, the head joint
dartlng Off like an arrow to a place of
conceaiment. That was the last snake
OF the kind we ever saw until quite re-
Gently we saw a hoop-jointed snake. We
were walking leisurely one day through
our held. All of sudden we were start
ed out of ourselves by something rolling
by us which looked liks the rim of 8
buggy wheel without the spokes. When
it passed about ten steps beyond us, in
making an effort to turn, it accidentally
struck the end of a projecting rail. This
must have alarmed it, for all at once it
fell to pieces, and the head joint darted
through crack of the fence and into
the swamp as quickly as possible. Re-
membering the jointed snake Of our
boyhood. and that our grandfather had
told us if we would watch we would see
the head return for the joints left, as
badly as we were scared we determined
to watch and wait the head return. Not
unmindful that we had been told by
them of old time that the only protector
from hoop snake was to get behind
tree or stump on the opposite side from
the one it was coming, we took a posi-
ton behind an old stump and awaited
developments. 1t was not long before
the head came slowly and cautiously
through the crack of the fence, raised
itself to an angle of forty-five degrees,
looked in every direction, and then COM
menced the work of rejoining its BODY
and tail to its head. This was soon done.
Its next movement was to rear itself up
perpendicularly, or in other words to
stand on its tail. AS the head went ND
we distinctly saw that each Joint pos
sessed india-rubber qualities, for as it
went up each joint became extended
until when the perpendicular position
was attained, the head was entirely out
OF sight. By a mathematical calcula- |
ton we ascertained its head to be a little |
less than five miles high, when it passed |
out of sight. Having taken its bearings
it gradually contracted to nine feet. 1t |
then made a circular dart for its tail, |
and without more ado rolled off rapidly |
IN the direction of Atlanta. = Cunsrniao |

Mark is found in Matthew; one-quarter
OF Luke is found in Matthew; one

these figures is that all these Gospels

And quarreled with the Tree.
A larky spirit was abroad.

All hung with weeds of woe.

And tapers burning low;
A weird, funeral, solemn scene

With all the tragic retinue
Just bursting for lark.
Too bad! but Mary looked so sweet,
And had such pretty hair,

And kissed her plump and square;

And spoiled the whole tabIeau.

That trying to be jolly
Is better, thirteen months a year.
