A Woman's Logic.

The following fable, which is prob.
ably of Turkish origin, is not without
a touch of truth: AS a woman was
walking, man looked at and followed
her.
Why" said she, do you follow
me?'
Because" he said, Il have fallen in
love with you"
why so? My sister, who is coming
after me, is much handsomer than |
am. Go and make love to her"
The man turned back. and saw a
woman with an ugly face, and, being
greatly displeased, returned and said:
why should you tell me a false
hood?"
The woman answered: Neither
did you tell me the truth; for, If you
were in love with me, why did you
look back for another woman? ?"-

Two Groups OF Spiders.

Roughly speaking. spiders may be
divided into two groups-the seden'
tary spiders, who spin a snare for
the capture OF their prey, and the row
ing spiders. who employ other meth
DDS Tor obtaining food. To this last
class belong the jumping and wolf
spiders, both OF which present fea-
lures of considerable interest the
jumping spiders are an important fam
fly, numbering several thousand spe-
cies, but they do not show 20 advan-
tage in temperate climates; their
home is in tropical countries, where
they attain metallic glory of color
ing which can vie with the brilliance
of the humming birds. The eyesight
of these spiders is very keen, and it
is a curious fact that certain species
can alter the color OF their eyes by d
movement OF the internal mechanism.
