A Trick on q Spider.

A great many years ago a prisoner
of state, who was allowed to cheer the
solitude of his dungeon by playing on
his flute, discovered after q while that
every time he played great number of
spiders gathered about him. Since
then, the liking of spiders for music
has been proved. l myself had often
wished to play for a spider audience,
but l was not well enough acquainted
with any musical instrument to coax q
June out of it.
A scientific gentleman gave me a
valuable hint by an experiment of his
own. He used . tuning-fork. Now
can play tuning-fork as well as any
body 1 procured tuning-fork, and
then sought out spider. l found q
a handsome, brand-new web, and
though did not see Mistress Epeira,
knew she must be at home. Eteira
dtadensa is her full name, though most
persons call her garden spider. 1t is
she who makes those beautiful, wheel
like webs which festoon the rose bushes
and trees. r
AS have said, Madame Spider was
not visible. | knew, however, she must
be in her gossamer parlor, which is at
tached to the web.
Here was a good chance to try tuning
fork music. raped the fork on a
stone, and in a moment soft. melodi-
Gus hum filled the air. l touched one
of the spokes of the web with the fork
On the instant, Madame flew out of her
parlor in great haste, hesitated mo-
ment at the outer edge of the web. and
then. instead of going straight to the
tuning-fork, ran to the very center of
the web.
When there, she quickly caught hold
of each of the spokes one after the
other. and gave it little tug, as boy
does his fishing-line to see if fish is
hooked. Zach was passed by until she
came to the spoke upon which the hum
ming fork rested. There she stopped
and it was easy to see she was excited.
She gave the whole web shake; then
tugged at the spoke again. "Hum-m-
m m" still sang the fork. rather family
now, however.
Madame was satisfied. Her mind
was made up. Down she darted anu
caught the end of the fork in her arms.
She tried to bite into the hard metal,
and at the same time she spun a web
of silk around and around the two
7 rongs. which by this time had ceased
vibrating.
pulled the fork away and Madame
Epeira retired in disappointment to the
center of the web. But if she was dis
appointed, so was 1. for WAS satisfied
that it was not the music of the fork
that had attracted her. Unfortunately,
it was altogether too probable that she
mistook the hum of the fork for the
buzz of hy,-a sort of music no doubt
very sweet 10 her.
lime after time 1 repeated the ex-
pertinent with the fork. touching in
turn each spoke of the web, and each |
time Madame Spider was deluded into
trying to capture the tuning-fork. 1t
was odd that she did not learn wisdom |
by repeated Experimentation r.

The Century-Plant.

Said well-known florist to report
er yesterday, in response to the query
whether he ever saw a century-plant in
bloom: "Only once, and that was q
great many years ago, in a conservatory
in London, when plant, generally sup
posed to have attained the age of one
hundred years, began to show signs OF
life by sending out stem in the center,
which grew from seven to eight inches
daily. 1t at once began to attract gen.
eral attention. The stem grew larger
every day. The plant was moved from
place to place. for the glass roof was
not high enough, until, as last resort
it was placed under the cupola. Before
many days the stem reached the cupola
roof. and, in order that its progress
might not be retarded, the glass was re.
moved and the roof raised. When the
stem had attained a height of about
forty-five feet, if L remember rightly, il
stopped growing, aud numerous small
branches grew out of the main stem,
each of which was topped with a cluster
of magnificent greenish-yellow flowers,
forming solid bush of beautiful flowers
of about ten feet in height. 1t seemed
to me all London focked to see that
flower, and that it was the topic OF con.
versation everywhere"
us it a fact that they bloom only es-
cry one hundred years."
That's mistaken idea, which ha,
long ago been exploded. The Ameri-
can aloe, or century plaut as it is com.
monty known, will sometimes bloom
WI ny hrrt turn f,-f Tt Il
together depends upon the climate and
the care. At times it will not bloom
unless it has attained the age of one
hundred years. but there are not many
aloeS in northern climates which attain
such an age
.'Are they a popular house-plant in
this region?"
YES; they are growing in popu-
larity every year, but, as rule, people
do not know how to treat them, and
the consequence is that they die before
they are any kind of an ornament"
What do you consider proper
mode of treatment of the plant?'
''In the first place they must be
placed in wooden pot, pail or key
earthenware pots are liable to be in
furious. Before planting them it is es-
sential that the drainage should be per-
ct-say three large round holes at the
bottom-and before placing the earth
in the vessel quantity of broken crock
cry or pebbles at the bottom will i'm
prove its drainage. 1t also requires con-
slant watering, and a great deal of care
and attention"
''Will a century plant bloom more
than once?"
"No, Sir; after the disappearance of
the flowers the plant withers and dies,
and no care in the world will save it. ~

How Not to Be DisagreeabIe.

"how do you manage to win the con-
fdence OF all the young people who
meet you in society" [ asked friend
who was no longer young, but a great
favorite with her own. and also the op-
posite sex. in friendship that seemed al
ways sincere.
Il do not know of any secret in il, -
she said. ''only that am good list
ener, and can manifest an interest and
sympathy in conversation. To be an
agreeable listener it is necessary to talk
now and then. to look the speaker in
the eye, and not to interrupt l try
not to show superior knowledge, for
there is nothing more disagreeable than
to have people all the time setting YOU
straight. L do not like it myself; so,
when some one tells me story that |
have heard before, even if it is a little
different in detail, 1 let it pass as some
thing l am hearing for the first time.
l think if any one will talk naturally,
speaking with eyes as well as lips, and
without affectatiOn, they need not fear
criticism, unless the conversation is
made personal by ones own neighbours
affairs. If were to give rules for be-
coming a good conversstiOnalist l
should gay, avoid slang, grammatical
errors and bad pronunciation, be as
7sfined as possible, and let that very re-
inement be your natural self. Be cour-
.eous and discreet, revere sacred sub
ects, never treat them lightly, even in
! joke; adhere strictly to the truth and |
listen in1elHgemly. D-Ansie L. Jad. i,

There are in Shakespeare's plays
about ninety deaths taking place either
on the stage or Immediately behind.
The modes of death are various. Cold
steel-the dagger or the sword-ac-
counts for about two-thirds of the whole;
twelve persons die from old age or de-
decay; seven are beheaded; FIVE die by
poison, including the elder Hamlet,
whose symptoms are SO infinitely de-
scribed by the ghost; two Of sufocation,
unless, indeed, Desdemona makes a
third; two by strangling; one from
fall; one is drowned; three die by snake
bite, and one, Horner, the armorer, is
thumped to death with sand-bag.-
