Watching a Spider at Work.

Watch IA spider spin his web, aud shall
be surprised u you ever kill q spider again.
1t takes him about ar hour, somewhat
less, for he Is msrveIously quick worker,
aud there is something slmost terrifying
about tue skill with which be works.
There Is his booy, 40 larger than
mstch's head, Yet, inciesed within that
mere dot OF nature. there Is an in,elii-
gence which is able first to'prospect the
area for his web, then 10 plan it out like
u geUmel rician, and then TO carry out his
plan with workmaniike precis on.
Meanwhile, too, it must be remem bered,
he is not only doing his thinking and his
weaving bat also spinning the material
for IT, all in that mite OF body.
But perhaps the nncanniest feature OF
lie whole thing lie that tue spider not
merely has his plan clear In his head, but
knows when he has made mistakes, ana
you can see him breaking off misplaceu
threads here and there, making taut sack
lines. and securing sbaky connections

Civil Engineer Beiiinger, who has

Farther investigation revealed the

In 1852, when Alexander Coffin was sent
prisoner on board the Jersey, he found
about eleven hundred prisoners there,
many OF whom were without clothing
during the winter. They escaped small :

the cold.
In his memoirs, Mr.. Coffin says prison

on the English warships.
On the upper gun deck, hogs were kept
In pens for the use of the officers, and
when fed with bran, the prisoners would
steal it from the trough. They were not

mountain of burdens?

helpful. and which some of the readers may
not have thought of.
One Is TO powder up and thoroughly dry the
table salt before putting IL into the salt shakers
Set IL on the back of the stove or some warm
place till all moisture Is out of it. and 1t will
not grow lumpy in the shaker as it is sure to do
otherwise in this moist climate.
Another thing is to serve Indian corn meal
the same way to keep 1t sweet. Graham flour
may be treated the same way with advantage.
