The FricndI... spider.

From HArner's Weekly.
Aside from snakes. there is proba-
bly, no living thing which can look to
mankind to friendship with so little
hope as the spider, yet when the spider
is fairly brought to trial IL is rather
hard TO prove anything against him ex-
cept his appearance and few cob
webs. Apart from furnishing an ex-
ample 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
denounced by sanitary authorities, tsss-
house fly being its favorite quarry. AS
the actual destruction of a few hun
dred flies means that several hundred
thousand that would otherwise have
spent gay lives in transmitting typhoid
and other diseases will not come into
existence. and as almost any spider
should be able TO account for as many
as 300 in the course OF a summer, TO
say nothing of stray mosquitoes and
black gnats, we surely owe him some
thing more than a flap with a slipper
when We happen to catch him out OF
his hole. spider can bite, of course.
but he seldom does except in self-de-
fense, and even then the bite is not
much worse than would have been re-
ceived from any one of the several
hundred mosquitoes he has probably
dined upon. or will, IL let alone. In
the light of present scientific knowl-
edge, the story of the spider and the
