the newest, neatest, incest and

any other merchant can give, and
all who patronize him bear witness
to the genuineness of his claim.

Spider Versus Beetle.

A big spider was placed on a rock in
the centre of an aquarium in a recent
experiment, and larva of a water
beetle put near. The beetle promptly
seized the spider and pulled it INTO the
water, but after a sharp struggle the
spider broke away and escaped. The
beetle soon afterward renewed the at
tack, and fastened itself on the spider
by its pincers. The spider also got a
good hold, and the duel resulted In the
death of both. 1t is said that IL two of
the larva are placed in the same aquar-
ium they will fight until one or the
other is dead, and the victor will deca-
pitate the dead one.
