The Spider Hawk.

The miners of Colorado who have
built cabins on the mountain sides know
what pest the small, brown wood
spider proves to be. They throw their
webs over your best clothes, cooking
utensils and in every corner where you
can get them in your eyes and mouth.
Not only that. but they will drop into the
frying pan. water bucket or upon the
table when you are eating. But nature
furnished us arcmedy and a friend when
she gave us the spider hawk.
Tho name is given by miners to a
small, steel blue wasp about three
fourths Of an inch i'll length. He can
easily be recognized by the quick. ner-
vous stroke of his wings. The wasps build
a nest upamong the rafters of your cabin
of wood pulp or furze from the outer
coating of old dead trees. Then they
are ready for business. Every few min
utes you can see your hawk climbing mp
the rafters with spider, sometimes car
rying one four or five times his own
weight.
Sometimes they get spider so heavy
that they will fall many times before
they succeed in reaching their nest.
They never give mp, but keep on trying
till they succeed. When the spider is
safely placed in the nest the female
hawk deposits her egg in the dead body.
The hawks lives only in pairs. as far as
my observation goes. They become
rather tamc-Great Divide.

weapon is never ground, but kept rough

Bellies and Bcaux Who Really Dance

Bellies and Bcaux Who Really Danced
the Dance of Death.
The Duke and Duchess of Richmond
were living in II fine hotel on the Rue de
la Blanchissere. which stood on its own
grounds and had fruit and flower
garden extending to the city ramparts.
Their graces moved in all the society of
Brussels. and entertained a great deal.
The duchess, who had issued 220 invita-
tions for the ball, proposed TO recall
them when she heard that Napoleon's
army was advancing. But the Duke of
Wellington, to prevent alarm, requested
that the ball might take place.
Nevertheless, many English families
were frightened away from Brussels.
and post horses We're kept harnessed in
the Duke of Richmond's stable, i'll case
bad news from the scene of the conflict
should make it advisable for his chill
dren to be sent To Antwerp. The ma
jority of the people of Brussels were
violent Bonapartists, and We're prepared
to entertain Napoleon in great style
should he force the British army to re-
treat and enter their city i'll triumph.
So it was that the Duke of Wellington
and many of his officers went to the ball
after the business of the day had been
attended to. While the merry couples
were flying around dispatch from the
front was handed to Wellington. He
asked the Duke of Richmond for pri-
vate room where he might consult with
some of his generals who were present,
The duchess dressing room was the only
convenient room safe from intrusion.
Candles We're hastily lighted on the
dressing table. at which Wellington sat
with a map before him. and having ex-
planned certain points to his staff they
all rejoined the company. They left the
house before 10 o'clock and succeeded
in doing so without attracting any at
tention. Very few, if any, Of the
dancers guessed how near mt hand was
the crisis which was to decide the fate
of Europe. and it never entered the
