DESIRED INSTRUCTION.

Young Mrs. Torkins walked into
the studio with timid yet resolute
air. But when she sat down in re-
ply'to the invitation of the lady who
gives lessons her assurance lett her.
She collapsed and famed herself with
a paper for several minutes.
Il came here in such a hurry imme-
diately after l saw yonr advertise
ment," she said, "that am quite out
of breath And | have had so much
of late to bother me that l get easily
excited. | thought I would come
right down and put the case in your
hands and get you to tell me what to
do. The girl got from the intelli
gence office six weeks ago was perfect
ly lovely at first. She never broke
anything that didn't belong to her, and
was polite and considerate as could be.
She let me come into the kitchen
whenever | wanted to, and if | express
ed a desire to have anything was
especially fond Of for dinner she was
sure to get it. She never went ont Of
an evening without giving me at least
two hours notice, and altogether she
was the best girl we ever had. But it
didn't last she added, with a deep
sigh.
'Indeed!'' said the teacher, who was
looking at her visitor with natural
surprise.
NO. After the second week she
began to Get like all the rest. And
the fourth week she was the worst we
had ever experienced. She got harsh
and naughty. She didn't like the way
| was raising the baby nor the tunes
| played on the piano. couldn't do
anything to suit her. So told Char
ley that we had better let her go else
where and try to be happier than we
seemed able to make her. So | told
her to so. She just laughed. So
Charley said he would attend to her
case, and he went right out into the
kitchen.
She hesitated, and the teacher, who
had become interested, inquired:
what did Charley do?'
"Charley didn't do anything. The
girl rolled up her sleeves and told him
if he didn't get out of there she would
thrash him within an inch of his life.
SO that's the whole story, and we did
not know what to do until we saw your
advertisement to teach China painting
and firing. | don't care about the China
painting just at present, but if you
will give me Il few lessons in firing |
shall be eternally grateful, and Char
ley told me to say that money was
no object" - Washington Star.

These air-laid bridge lines were often
used for the frames of the orb The
observations of DR.. McCook show moth

Meeting the point of occupancy with

the bridge lines were evidently ten

tion seemed to Indicate limited con-

Some ten years ago French mis-
sionary started the systematic rear
ing of two kinds Of spiders for their
web, and the Board Of Trade Journal
states that spider-web factory is now
in successful operation at Chalais
Meudon, near Paris, where ropes are
made of spider-web, intended for bal
looms for the French military aro-
nautic section. The spiders are az
ranged in groups Of twelve above a
reel, upon which the threads are
wound. 1t is by no means easy work
for the spiders, for they are not re-
leased until they have furnished from
thirty to forty yards of thread each.
The wed is washed, and thus freed of
the outer reddish and sticky cover.
Eight of the washed threads are then
taken together, and of this rather
strong yarn cords are woven which
are stronger ard much lighter than
cords of silk of the same thickness

DR.. II. c. McCook, the wcll-knovn
naturalist, has been studying the mode
of constructing webs prevailing among
the orb-weaving spiders, and he seems
to have confirmed his previous opinion
that the silk-lne framework or founda-
tion of their web is laid, in the first in
stance, by the help ola current Of air
carrying the thread In great num-
Der of cases DR.. McCook observed the
spiders passing from point to point by
means Of lines emitted from their spin
nerets and cntangled upon adjacent
foliage. These mimic wire bridges" "
were of various lengths, owing to the
direction of the wind and the relative
positions Of the spider and the fixed
objects around it. Lines of two feet
to four feet were frequent; lines of seven
feet to ten feet occur pretty often: one
line had been measured for length OF

And beat your brands to dust.
Your hands must learn a surer crap,
Your heart, q better trust
Oh bend "hack the lance's point.
And brc * the helme; bar;
A noise is in the morning wind,
But not the note of war.
Upon the grassy mountain paths
The glttering hosts Increase
They come! They come! How fair their feet;
They com, who publish peace.
And victory, fair victory,
Our enemies are ours!
For all the clouds are cl isped light,
And all the earth with flowers
Ave- still depressed and dim with dew;
But wait a little while.
And with the radiant deathl@ss rose
The wilderness shall smile.
Aud every tender, living thing
Shall feed by streams OF rest;
Nor lamb shall from the flock be lost,
Nor nurSling from the nest.

STUDIES OF SPIDER LIFE.

Spiders are not insects, as most peO-
pie think. There is precisely the same
relationship between 4 spider and an
insect that there is between 4 cow and
a Goldfish. The COW and the fish are
both vertebrates. and the spider and
the insect are both annulates; but
there the resemblance ceases. In every
other point of structure they differ
widely from each other. The spider
has eight legs, whereas an insect can
not have more than six. The pre-
vious system is constructed On 4 to-
tally different system and so are the
circulation and respiration. The eyes
are different, the insects having many
compound eyes, and the spider never
having more than eight, and all of
them simple. Then 4 spider has no
separate head, the head and the rax
being fused together. Neither does
the spider pass through the series of
developments which we call ''lral:>l, l.
nations When the young spider is
hatched, it is spider, and retains the
same shape through its whole life.
\ gain, no insect that is at present
known can spin silkcn threads. Take
. - H. e, ;l;,n Ia
The silk is spun by the caterpillar, and
not by the moth. Now, the spider
can spin threads throughout the Whole
of its life. 1t possesses, moreover, the
faculty of producing different kinds Of
silks, according to the object for which
these creatures. We may see all the
three silks produced. The web of the
diadem spider is made of radiating
cables like the spokcs of Il wheel, and
having 4 light thread wound spirally
over the spokes; The whole web is
suspended 10y cables like those which
form the spokcs, and guy ropes of SINH
lar structure support it on every side.
\ blue-bottlc fly now comes buzzing
along and blunders against one of the
supporting cables. 1t is not arrested
by the cable, but falls upon the net,
where it is at once caught. If we eN-
anime the web with Il toleraby pow
erfai mangifying-glass, we see that the
cables and spokes are smooth, while
the spiral thread is covered with little
globules of a gummy character. There
are l 400 of these globules in each inch
of thread, and on an average i COM
plcte web contains 81 900 OF them.
These globulcs are like bird-lime, and
the moment that an insect touches one
of them with its lee or wing it is held
tightly by the gum.
SPIDERS As .ERoNArTS.
If YOU anchor pole in 4 body of
water, leaving the pole above the sur
face, and put a spider upon it, he will
exhibit Il marvellous intelligence 10y
his plans of escape. At first he will
spin Il web several inches long and
hang to one end while he allows the
other end to float in the wind. in the
hope that it will strike some object.
OF course that plan proves 4 failure.
He waits until the wind changes, and

"You must remember" said the man
who was arguing with great volubility and
self-approvaI, that we owe duty to the
WHO is the public?" inquired Mr.. bly,.
"W6y-erTthe masses, you know; the

TO the street car conductor, lot OF creatures
who ought to be made to step lively.
You think the public gets imposed upon

retribution is always waiting. The man
who imposes on the public in one respect
lapses back into the general outfit in some
thing else and is imposed on in his turn.
