A Queer Ely.

New Zealand boasts of a fly that
feeds on spiders.
This fly is black and wasp-like. and,
like the wasp, lives in nest of clay
built In a creyice, preferably in the
upper folds of heavy window curtains.
This is one of the great annoyances
of the tidy housekeeper in New Tea
land. Try as she will, 1t is almost i'm
possible for her to keep these flies
from setting up homes at the tops of
her curtains.
These nests of clay are made up of
a series of separate cells, usually from
five to eight in number. When the
nest is built the fly goes after spiders.
1t has no trouble in conquering the
spinners of silky webs. They sue
cumb more easily than do the Ameri-
can flies which are so unfortunate as
to get tangled in spiders weaving.
The fly carries the spiders to it's
home and imprisons each one in a
cell. Here the fly lays a single egg,
and when the grub matches out it eats
the spider that has been provided for
it. When its food is all gone the
mother fly goes out and catches an
other spider, and she keeps this up
until the young fly is old enough to
catch spiders for itself.

A Postage Stamp Case.

Make the case of stiff paper, COW
cred with silk; cut the paper six
inches long and two inches and half
wide. Fold over so as to make a
square two and a half inches, then
round off the corners on the long end
and fold over for lap. Cut a few
leaves of tinfoil and stitch in as a
needle book, attach a ribbon to the
back and bring over and tie. This
size case will hold about a dozen
stamps. Two can be placed on each
leaf of tinfoil, which prevent them
from sticking. Before covering the
case, work in outline the words Post
age Stamps" in long, slender letters,
with gold silk. Select a pretty color
of silk and do the work neatly. After
finishing fill the case with one and
two-cent stamps and you will have a
pleasing, useful little remembrance
