The Londonderry sifter. (South Londonderry, Vt.) 1883-19??, 1891-07-10

One of the simplest and at the same
time one of the best barometers is the
common garden spider. When there
is prospect of rain or wind the spider
always shortens the stays or tilaments
from which his web is suspended, and
leaves things in that state as long as
the weather is variable. If the insect
elongates his threads it is a sign of fine,
calm weather, the duration of which
may be judged by the length of the
webs. If the spider remains inactive it
is sign of rain; but if, on the contra
ry, it keeps at work during a shower
the rain will be of short duration, fol
lowed by fine weather.
Other observations have taught nat
uralists that the spider makes changes
in its web every twenty four hours, and
that if such changes are made In the
evening, just before sunset, the night
will be clear and beautiful, and the
thoughtful spider will stand fair
chance of getting some tender night
flying insect for his breakfast, the re
pairs of the SPIDERS net being made
with that point in vi.w. st. Louis

EQuivocal Sentim ents.

There is an old story about the
chant of Milwaukee, who, during
war of the rebellion, being an excel
hand at sketching, drew most adH
bly, on the wall of his store a ne
head, and underneath it wrote, In q
manner worthy of the Delphic oracle,
'Dis Union foreber. Whether the
sentence meant loyalty to the Union
or not was the puzzling question which
the gentleman himself never answered,
always replying to inquiries Read it
for yourselves, gentlemen. Thus it
came to be saying in the town that
