Avoiding a Blockade.

One wagon was loaded with about six
tons of plate or sheet iron. The other
was held down by several thousand
bricks. One traction car was going up
the avenue and another was crossing it.
Behind that was a horse car. Just then
a bakers wagon cut in on one side, and
yeast nondescript came from the other
corner, when the big ''off" mule in the
iron wagon wagged his left ear and
stopped. The brick, cart stopped. So
do did the up car and thecros car, with
the horse car humping up behind it. 1t
was as pretty a bit of confusion as you
have seen on Broadway, with the differ
ence that in cases OF emergency there
seems to be about sixteen policemen to
the square inch in Broadway, while
here there is about an inch of policeman
to twenty perches.
Somebody that knew character-a big
red bearded man that had doubtless
sworn army mules into paroxysm OF
energy-tickled the mules ear with the
point of his umbrella; the mule pranced,
the red bearded man walloped it with
his umbrella twice'and the procession
began to move. The blockade was
lifted in ten seconds almost before it
was made.-Pittsburg Bulletin.

skin2 It is an interesting sight, one
that will repay any one for the time lost
in waiting for the novel event to take
place. When preparing for the change
the spider stops eating for several days,
and makes his preliminary arrangements
by fastening himself with a short thread
of web to one of the main lines of his
snare, this to hold him firmly while he
proceeds to undress First the skin
cracks all around the thorax, being held
only by the fore part.
Next the abdomen is uncovered, and
then comes the struggle to free the legs.
He works and kicks vigorously, seeming
to havea very hard time of it. Fifteen
minutes Of continued perseverance, how
ever, brings him out Of his old dress,
the struggle causing him to appear limp
and ifeless for some time after it is fin
ished. Gradually he comes back to life,
brighter and more beautiful than before
