A TRUE SPIDER STORY.

How This Curious Insect Folds up Ito
There must be some insect lovers
among the Tribune young Folks"
and l want to tell them Of q curious
fact about spiders.
Some days since, while sitting on the
porch enjoying the early morning, I
noticed two beautiful spider webs
among the vines. / have been fond of
watching spiders ever since I was a
very little girl, melted thereto by my
father having taken me into the gar
den and shown me a large, brilliantly
colored fellow that had made his web
in a currant bush. and desiring me not
to NEEDLE with it. l have been inter-
ested in them, and bees and ants as
well, ever since, and have watched
them for a great many minutes at q
time.
While looking, all at once I saw one
of the spiders run from the center Of
the web drawing two threads together
as he went; he unfastened the end and
went back rolling up the thread; then
he took the next two threads extending
from the center, once doubling part Of
the web as / have seen the sails of a
ship iurled; this continued until the
whole web was folded into a tiny pack
ct, when he took it between his FORE
legs and hid himself under a leaf. Then
I turned my attention to the other, and
in a short time this performance was
repeated, and he too went to his re-
pose.
As much as I have watched these in.
sects l never saw anything of this kind
before. nor have l ever read of such a
thing. Several times during the morn
ing saw the spiders each under his
chosen leaf and the next morning there
were two webs as before. This time I
couldn't watch the folding, but after
breakfast ! came out to look for them
and they were both gone. The third
morning there were two webs, and I
saw n folded and after a time re-
turned and found the other gone. This
has been repeated nearly if not every
day since until to-day, when there were
mor webs to be seen. l have. not
seen them folded every day, but I have
seen them spread and returning after a
time found no trace of them. There is
no n to disturb them and the work
has been done by the curious little
owner itself.-N. y. Tribune.

DEHoRNlNG CATTLE.
Good Resalts to Be Obtained by Prevent.
ing the Formation OF Horns.

Good Results to Be Obtained by Prevent.
Ing the Formation Of Horns.
Attention has of late been directed to
the usefulness of hornless cattle as com.
pared with those armed with long and
sharp horns that are at all times a
menace to their keepers as well as a
source OF injury to the weaker of their
own kind. Persons who are keeping
polled cattle do not cease to proclaim
the virtues OF creatures they can at all
times handle without danger Of severe
knocks from sharp horns. Recently
advocates have been found of the
practice of saving off the horns
OF cattle near the head. which
they claim IA be done at small
inconvenience to the animal so treated,
While the object sought is very desir-
able, the reason for delay until a Great
ure has arrived at maturity before per-
forming such an operation is ques-
toned. 1t is a well known fact that in
their tender age animals as well as hui.
man beings have less finely developed
organism the nerve centers are not so
susceptible to pain and the effects of An
INJURY o pass away. Having this
IN view, well-informed veterinarians
ADVISE the dehorning of cattle in the
earlier stage of life, when calves
are but a few weeks of age. AT that
period OF life the rudiments of horns
appear like small buttons loosely at.
Saohed to the skin and not yet firmly
seated as a part of the bony structure.
Before the horn becomes firmly at

Stuart. a well.known veterinarian If
Cleveland. who practiced in Scotland
before coming to this country, has et.
~fectually prevented the formation Of.
horns on cattle by this method. both
abroad and here.
1t Is the testimony Of those who keen
polled cattle that they are milder in
and nor easily handled
than horned cattle; besides this. sucb
animals are never worrying others Of
their kind, never hooking sheep and
norses and are altogether more proata.

The Almost Criminal Negligence of Many
Road Supervisors.

The Almost Criminal Negligence of Many
Road Supervisors.
Never was the adage "A stitch in
time saves nine' more literally true
than in regard to the keeping of roads
and walks in creditable condition. On
roads especially, the first rut, if ever so
small, should be at once filled up. If
not, each rut helps every passing foot
or wheel to dig it out deeper and yet
deeper. This must be so obvious to all
as to need no further insistance upon
or illustration, and yet practically few
responsible for the maintenance of
roads act as if it We're true.
They are seldom repaired before
they are virtually ruined, and
hence road-repalrs are perhaps
the most unsatisfactory of all the many
reckless investments that abound in
this age of daring ventures and more
haste than prudence. The proverbial
folly of locking the stable after the
horse is stolen is wisdom itself COM
pared to the folly of deferring road.
repairs till too late. In the one case
only n horse is lost; but here road. .
labor, horsepower, harness, time and
money are all thrown into a veritable
bog or road without a bottom, and
neither profit, pleasure nor wisdom
seems to follow in the wake of all these
losses.
Prompt repairs with the very best
materials is the secret of the mainte.
nance OF roads in good condition. ANY
compound of abominable rubbish is
often accounted good enough for the
repair Of roads. They may or may not
been well made; but here is a
mole, and builders rubbish, stone, flint.
or half a brick, or a load of these, is
hurled headlong into it. Such reckless.
ness is not only foolish, it is almost
CRIMINAL inasmuch as it not only de-
stroys property, but ~endangers life. It
IS hardly too much to affirm that nine.
tenths OF road accidents arise from the
imperfect construction and faulty re.
pairs Of roads. The majority Of farm
roads are in the most disgraceful state.
N regard to both. But not a few GAR.

Liquid Glue.

A strong liquid glue, that will keep
for years without changing, may be
made by placing in a glazed vessel a
quart Of water and about three pounds
of hard glue. This is to be melted over
a gentle fire in a glue pot, and stirred
up occasionally. When all the glue is
melted, drop In gradually a small guam
tity OF nitric acid, when cffervescence
will take place. The vessel ia then to
be taken of the fire and allowed to
cool. Glue thus made will keep liquid

HOW shrewd Bears Secure Prey Without

q salmon, the cousin Of the trout.
Is famous for its method of going IN

feet high, leaps into the air and PUSHES

having an especial TASTE for salmon.
the bears would watch at the pot-hole,
and as the salmon, dashing up the fall.
We're thrown by It's force into the rocky
basin. the bears would quickly scrape
them out of the pot-Lole. and the poor

to destroy the pot-hole. and thus break
