THE FRIENDLESS SPIDER.
He's a Pretty Good Insect In Spite Of
His Looks and His Webs.


Aside from snakes, there Is probably
no living thing which can look to man.
kind for friendship with so little hope
as the spider, yet when the spider is
fairly brought to trial it is rather hard
to prove anything against him except
his appearance and few cobwebs.
Apart from furnishing an example
of industry and patience from which
We might well profit, the spider feeds
exclusively upon freshly killed insects.
all of them being of the kind denounc-
ed by sanitary authorities. the house
fly being its favorite quarry.
As the actual destruction of few
hundred housetiits means that several
hundred thousand that would other
wise have spent gay lives in transmit
ting typhoid and other diseases will
not come into existence and as almost
any spider should be able to account
for as many as 300 n the course OF a
summer, to say nothing of stray mos
quitoes and black gnats, we surely owe
him something more than aap with
slipper when we happen to catch
him out of his hole
A spider can bite, of course, but he
seldom does except in self defense.
and even then the bite Is not much
worse than would have been received
from any one of the several hundred
mosquitoes he has probably dlned
upon or will. If let alone In the light
of present scientific knowledge the
story of the spider and the fly that
was invited into the pretty parlor does
not cause such a surge of sympathy
for the fly as 1t once did. -Harper's

have been greatly increased by the
cats brought in from the country and
dropped on the streets. Any one hates
to kill a nice kitten, and when it is de-

not wanted any longer are placed in
an old bag and brought to town. They
find refuge at the home of some tender
