we're not only customary but neces-

there were no gymnastic appliances to
give it character, but it was the only
space available, and what it lacked In
horizontal bars, dumb-bells, and In,

SIX OF THE SPIDER.
One Product, sizs For Size, 10 Teushss
Than Bar Iron.

From time to time the ingenuity
of the scientists has been exercised
with a view to devising some sub
stitute for the silkworm's product,
to find some other insect that Will
produce something very similar at q
lower cost.
1t is an old idea that the spider
might be employed in this way IN
substitution for the silkworm. The
problem has ever been how to OBJ
tain a sufficient quantity of the
spider thread and how to wind il
without breaking or tangling.
A Frenchman named Cachot har-
messed a spider to a machine of his|
invention. This machine contained
tiny bobbins that revolved constant
ly. The thread was wound as the|
spider spun it, not after it had BEEN
made. The end of the web, which
was attached to the body of the|
spider, was caught and fastened
firmly to bobbin. Then the ma
chine was gently put in motion. !
The spider, finding that its web
reeled away, apparently Of its own
volition, naturally pulled in the op1
posite direction to get away. Butt
it is said, Cachot found to his
great delight that the spider did
not pull with sufficient force To
break; the thread, but actually seem
ed to enjoy the process, maintaining
just sufficient tension to keep the
web in continual motion.
Many spiders, it is said, were tried
in this way, and at last sufficient
quantity of their product was OBJ
tanned to be woven into a fabric.
This, it is alleged, was superior to|
natural silk in tenuity, elasticity
and tenacity.
1t were superfuous to add that
dresses of spider web are still be-
yond the reach of any save the very
rich. A species of Madagascar spi-
der is the only one that supplies
the right sort of thread. Size for
size, this spiders thread is tougher
than bar iron.
The Frenchman who conducted
these interesting experiments states
that another advantage of the spi-
der as a producer of silk is that,
having been emptied Of its web, it
can be fed and petted back to con-
dition, when it will submit to an
other reeling without showing I'LL
effects.-Harper's Weekly.

Unfairly Treated.

In rebellion times in the Canadas
feeling ran high between the
French Canadians and the Loyal
lists, and the outcome Of the sus-
'picion and jealousy on both sides
was a crop of amusing stories, one
of which is here quoted from book
by Mesdames Lizars, entitled "Hu-
mors Of '37."
A county member Of parliament
at the chateau one sultry evening,
seeing the rest all busy at ice cream,
asked for some. he took a huge
spoonful, his first taste Of such a
delicacy. With a feeling Of rage at
what he thought an insult, or, at
the very least, neglect, he instantly
cried out to the waiter: +

Clerical Luxury.

Bloomfield, bishop Of England,
presided at a meeting Of a debating
society where the students were all
deadly in earnest. One strong, in
dignant young gentleman inquired
oratorically: "What, sir, would the
Apostle Paul have said could he
have seen the life of luxury led by
our present race of prelates and
church dignitaries, riding in their
carriages and living in their pal
aces? What, sir, I repeat, would ne
