better health to several members OF the
party. One lady has gained seven
pounds in a week and others have been
much benefited. The appointment each
day of different young lady and gentle
man to the positions of housekeeper and
waiter has been the means of developing
the domestic qualities of the one and
tended to qualify the other to the posi-

HOW OSTRICHES RUN.

Considerable misconception prevails as to
the manner In which the ostrich runs IL
seems TO be still generally held that when
running il spreads its wings, and aided by
them skins lightly. over the ground. This IL
not correct. When n bird really settles itself
20 run IL nclls its head lower than usual and
a little forward, with deep loop in the neck.
The mock vibrates sinuously, but the head re-
mains steady. thus enabling the bird. even at
top speed, TO look around with unshaken
glance in any direction. The wings lie along
the sides about n level with or little
higher than the back and are held loosely,
lust free 81 the plunging thigh" There Is
no attempt TO hold them extended, or 10 de.
rive any assistance from them as organs OF
flight.
When an ostrich, after n hard run, is very
tired, its wings sometimes droop; this il due

HOW A SPIDER DISAPPEARS.

On the borders of tho Everglades you
often see n large yellow spider. He swings
strong web from two plant twigs on each
side or path Of clear space of ground
and waits for his prey. Ihe web is in the
shape of hammock, and tapers at each
end to line point, though quite broad
in the middle The bright color of the
owner seems to mark him out for de.
struction-he is clearly defined against the
white sand or dead leaves. and you
wonder what he could do for defense in
case Of attack. Approach quietly and he
watches you intently. Now raise your
hand suddenly and he will disappear.
While you are wondering what became II
him you see first Dlur whore he had
been, then several spiders, then you
catch sight again of the yellow ball you
noticed ut first. Repeat the performance
and the stage effect Is renewed. The dis
appearance is absolute-tbCrs can be no
doubt about IT, and the little magician
trusts TO il entirely for his protection.
How is 10 done? AS soon rs he is threat
ened he starts the vibrations OF his airy
hammock; these become too rapid for the
eve to follow, and no vanishes. AS these
become slower you see a blur, and ther
several spiders as the eye catches them a.
different points OF his swing until iinalt
he ests before you. Florida Citizen.
