THE SPIDERS WAYS.
Some Neglect Their Eggs, Others Guard
Them Well.

Some Neglect Their Eggs, Others Guard
Them weil.
In connection with the question Of
whether adders swallow their young
upon danger threatening, a correspond
ent wrote, it may be remembered, ask
ing, is there any proof that adders at
tend to their young at all? This ques-
ton, like the other, has been debated
more than once. Some have declared
the belief that the common lizard will
tend its young; others that the ringed
snake OF England watches near the spot
where she has deposited her eggs-a
thing hard to credit. 1t is very inter-
esting to notice the wide difference
that exists among animals in the mat
ter Of watching over or Of neglecting
their eggs and Matched offspring.
Take the case of the spiders. Some,
after the eggs have been deposited, ap-
pear to have no further concern with
their offspring in embryo. But there
are spiders, on the other hand, that
take most lively interest in their
eggs and young, and carry them about.
At the present time Of year q spider
called know of no English name for
it-Lycosa camprestris, may constantly
be seen among the clods Of earth in
field or garden Juggling about with her
white silk bag, about the size of her

be attached by some viscous matter.
found the other day some difficulty in
making her yield possession for
while of this receptacle. She clung to
it with the utmost tenacity, and if one
lifted the bag one had to lift the spider
with it. At length, without injury, the
spider and the bag We're separated
She thereat began to search for it with
eagerness. This she appeared to do
not by sight SO much as by feel.
With her forefeet she seized and ex-
amined but instantly rejected several
things lying about which bore no re-

fore the full truth OF the lines:
THE spiders touch, how exquisitely
fine!
Feels at each thread, and lives along
the line"
1t was droll to see her seize upon an
armadillo wood louse-which at the
first sign of danger rolls itself up into
q ball-and relinquishing this at once
try whether a tiny clod were her lost
bag of eggs or not.
These creatures do not make webs
by which to capture their prey, but
stalk it on the ground. The most ia
nous spider in this family it the nom
British tarantula, which is also much
attached to her egg-ball and her young
when they are born. Another wolf
spider of England, which closely re-
semb'es the samprestris in habits, is
called Lycosa sacCata She, TOO, ear
RIGS about on her person a precious
bag of eggs. Bonnet, the French natur-
alist, to whom some Of the famous let
ters of Huber on bees were addressed,
once, to Test the affection OF this spider
for her eggs, put her in q hole where
an ant-lion lurked, watchful for prey.
The spider tried to escape but the
ant-lon seized and took away her bag
of eggs. The spider gave battle at once
to the ant-lon, and struggled desper-
ately to regain her lost delight.-Lon-

Tight gloves are worse than tight
shoes. The shoes may give dainty
look to the foot in spite Of the tor
lures endured, but tight gloves make
the hands fat and red and ugly. The
flesh bulges out and wrinkles form.
Gloves should be worn so easily fitting
that rings may remain under them.
The red, creased look of the palm
when gloves are too tight is abomin-
able. The maiden who wears the
glove is the only one who is deluded
into the belief that her hand looks well

Before the chicken burst his shell,
He could lot see things very well.

He could not look outside, at al.

Apples of the Northwest.

An account of how the great north
west has been made to grow most of
the winter apples for this country is
valuable in connection with the in
crease in plant values. The early
farmers of the vast praires could find
no apple tree hardy enough for the
climate. They spent fortunes in nur-
sery stock, and in painting trees. with
out success. In 1855 Gideon Nj. Mitchell
of Minnesota planted thirty varieties
of apple trees and a bushel of seed.
In nine years he planted. all told.

year he had left, after the winter S

the "WeaHhy,' fruit from which the
northwest now annually reaps millions
of dollars. During these nine long
years of planting and failure Mr..

The Medical temperance Review
makes the following comment upon
the foregoing adyice:
There is no mistake about 1t-ai
cchol is poisol-and even the gov
ernment are beginning to recognize
that fact. If alcohol is poison in hot
climates who shall say it is not in
this country? In the moist heat OF
West Africa-a continuous. deadly
heat-the body is taxed more heavily
than in this country and so the poi
sonous effects of alcohol are the more
readily and more markedly produced
but whether slow or quick the action
is the same. The government would
do well if they took to heart Mr.. Rit
chie's statement of the crime-produc
ing power Of alcohol. if they opened
their eyes to the statistics given by
Professor Brouardel at the conference
on tuberculosis, and sent out to the
people of this country a declaration
that alcohol is poison in every sense
of the word, and that it threatens te
ruin us morally, mentally and physl
cally."

An Irish Temperance Revival.

Among the most pleasing and hope
full prospects for the future of Ire

able temperance revival that has been
going on in many parts of that country
Of late years. The determined action

true is this sentiment affirmed that
many of the great corporations, like
some of the railways. will not retain
in their employ men who are not total

There is anothe, fact affirmed by
athletic sports that perfect health is
not only consistent with total abstin
ence, but is acquired only by regi
men of total abstinence. Life insur
ance men, too, help to emphasize this
same fact.
Il argue this way: If first place in
the race is for the man with the best

contributes to the highest exercise OF
both qualities. it is natural to suppose
that the leaders of fifty years hence
will be the men who in their struggle
for pre-eminence become enamoured
of total abstinence.
"The whiskey inspiration for poets
and orators is figment of the past
The steady nerve. the bright brain, the
clear, sparkling eye, the capability OF

view of these facts it is natural to sup

Writing in answer to the questio1
"Will leaders of men be total abstain
ers fifty years hence?" Rev. H. p.
Doyle, editor of the Catholic World,
says:
'It is rash to risk dogmatic state
ment of what will be the case fifty
years hence. Events happen careless
of the reputation of prophets. A close
study of the trend of affairs however,
may lead one to pronounce a prudent
judgment.
Il know the world has always used
stimulants in one form or another, and
in my most enthusiastic hopes for tem-
perance work l never expected that
the practice of total abstinence would
become universal.

COUGARS FIGHT LIKE CATS.
Oregon Woods Full OF the Ugly
Brutes, and They Make Night HID
eous with Their Warfare.

A party Of timber-land dealers lately
in from the mountains some twenty
miles out from Gate City, Ore, report
ed that cougars are very numerous in
that section. The woods are literally
full of them, and they are frequently
seen during the day and also the blood
stained snow in many places shows
where they have killed deed. But the
worst feature of the brutes is their
habit, common to the feline races, Of
caterwauling at night. Apair of these
animals growing and fighting in the
back yard Of ones camp all night is no
joke.
The party was composed of eight
men, all accustomed to life in the
woods, but, they say, they were never
SO badly frightened before in all their
woodland experience as they were dur
ing their last trip. Their hair stood
erect and the blood CONCEALED as the
murderous cougars eft and fit and
scratched and bit and struggled In the
mud, till all the ground for miles
around was covered with their blood"
Deer are becoming plentiful in the
mountains again, says the Portland
Oregonian, and the cougar is living
high and feeling good.
