The spiders, which spin luxuriously in their native groves, sulk or fight or devour their young or otherwise amuse them selves when brought to the factory; but they will not work except just oc- casionally when the mood happens to strike them.

DRESSES OF SPIDER WEIR

The worm is proverbially the last of created things to turn against the ty- ranny of those who seek to coerce it. and the silkworm is evidently no ex- csption to the rule, for it has for ages been patiently laboring to gratify hu- man vanity.
