Mass., Professor Wood dealt witn the phenomena of spider life. In one tribe the female is one thousand three hundred ' ;0\ times as large as tbe male. The spl- ' ^ der's thread is made up of innumerable small threads or fibers, one of fx* these threads being estimated to be one two-millionth of a hair In thickness. Three kindA of shread are spun.- \ One of great strength, for the radiatine or sDoke lines of the web. The / "M cross lines or what a sailor might call >' 'M the rat lines, are finer and are tena- ; clous; that is they have upon them little specks or globules of a very sticky gum. These specks are put on with even interspaces. They are set quite thickly along the line, 'and are what ^ in the first instance catch and hold the legs or wings of the fly. Once caught in this fashion, the prey la held secure by threads flung over it / somewhat in the manner of a lasso. - f The third kind of silk is that which < the spider throws out in a mass of flood, by which it suddenly envelops / : any prey of which it is somewhat / - r ^ afraid, as, for example, a wasp. A / scientific experimenter once drew oat ? m from ihe body of a single spider three ' M thousand four hundred and eighty M yards of thread or spider silk?a lengin nuie suuri, 01 imw uuiiw. Silt may be woven of spider's thread, and it is more glossy and brilliant than that of the silk worm, being of a golden color. An enthusiastic entomologist is said to have secured enough of it for the weaving of a suit of clothes for Louis XIV. "I Grabbed Qafek." Johnny one night climbed up into his mother's lap, and laying his head on her shoulder, said in a low, sorry tone: "I took that glass marble, mamma." "Took it from whom?" asked his J mother. "Took it from the ground," said Johnny. "Did it belong to the ground?" ask ed bis mother. "Did the ground go to the shop and buy it?" . Johnny tried to laugh at such a funny thought, but he could not. * V-* "I saw it on the ground," said he "What little boy had-It before?" "Asa May's it is; I guess," whisper* ed Johnny. "When you put out your hand to take it, did you forget, "Thou God seest me?" asked his mother. , "Did Jou not hear a voice saying, 'Don't, ~v|3 ohnny! don't, Johnny!" "I didn't hear it," said the boy sobbing. "I grabbed quick!" Johnny is not the only one who has "grabbed quick" at some forbidden thing?too quick to hear the still small voice within. It is better not to grab too quick; to take time for thought, and prayer; to watch and pray; to resist temptation, and to avoid the stings of guilty conscience, and the sorrows and stains that sin will bring upon the soul. + + It was Dead Economy.?An excur sion from Birmingham to Montgomery was ran the other day, says the Birmingham (Ala.) Ageberald. A ; A negro man appeared at the ticket office in the depot and purchased a ticket for himself. Then he said to the ticket agent: "Boss, I want 'nother round trip B ^ 'scursion ticket for a corpse." 9e? The agent opened his eyes in as- v tonisbment. An excursion ticket for ? a corpse was something new to him, xfl even with his varied experience. The negro explained: "You flee. ?9H| boss, my brudder died yesterday ana I want ter take de corpse down to Montgomery and let de famblv view " de 'mains, and den bring em back to Birmingham and bury 'em. Dla will be a heap cheaper den fur the fambly ;3|| v to come up here." The agent saw at once that this I was a great stroke of economy and ! enterprise on the part of the negro. j There were probably a dozen members V!'i33?B' of the family, and tickets for them to ; | Birmingham and board while there . | would be quite expensive. The corpse could get the benefit of excursion j rates to Montgomery and would pay i no board while there. Thus the negro ! subserved the ends ot economy and preserved the respect for the grief of the family at the same time. It is told of one of the children In a New York hospital, who had been under the care of one nurse for a long time, that when the little fellow found out that he was to go home cured, he put his arm around the neck of the nurse, and said softly in her ear: 'Mv mamma will never hear the last of you." 5 Was not that a very touchiug expres| sion of gratitude. 5 Rubber should be carefully kept away from oil, as oil softens and makes it unfiffor use. vis : ^ V- ^ - /
