The spider family Is very liameroas, no less than fifty kinds be­ ing described by naturalists. All jjlpiders have eight legs, with three joints in each, and terminating in thin, .^rooked claws. They also have eight eyes, differently arranged according to •'4130 specieb. Goiuvs lifeVo ihb'ui i'a i* iltraight line, otliers in the shape of a capital V, others four above and four below, cHhers two above, two below, And two on either side, and there are •till others that have them arranged in fk manner too complicated to describe Without drawings. On the front part Of the head they have a pair of sharp, erooked claws, or forceps, which stand liorizontally, and which, when not in Use, are hidden from view in little cases 1>eantifullv adapted for their reception, And in which they fold up like a clasp- knife, and remain there between two irows of teeth. When the spider bites it thrusts a white proboscis out of its jnouth, with which it instills a poison­ ous liquid into the wound. The abdo­ men, or hind part of the spider, is •eparated from the head and breast by a small, thread-like tube. The outer akin is a hard, polished crust. ' A very curious specimen not often found in this country, but which is said to be very common in Italy,' is the limiting spider, BO called because in- ataad of spinning webs to entrap its f prey it jumps upon its victim. It is •mall, and of a brown color, beauti­ fully spotted, and its hind legs are longer than the others. When it sees | , 'Na fly three or four yards distant it plans jj§; Its attack with considerable delibera- v tion, creeping softly up and seldom inissing its object. When in a direct •f , .line, the spider springs upon the back t\ of the unsuspecting lly and catches it f.- by the head, and after satisfying its hunger carries the rest away for future Consumption. The nest of this spider is very curi­ ous. It is about two incheB high, and is composed of a close, satin-like text- ,nre. In this are two chambers, placed perpendicularly, in which the spider reposes during the day, generally do­ ing his hunting after' nightfall. The parent regularly instructs her young now to pursue their future avocation, and when in the course of their in­ struction they happen to miss a jump, |hey run away and hide as though ashamed of their failnre. !V if i, f t , . ' \ ' li-• The most extraordinary nest is that of the mason spider, a native of the tropics. This nest is formed of very hard clay, deeply colored with oxide of Iron. It is in the form of a tube, Jaboui one inch in diameter and six or {seven inches long. It is lined with a uniform tapestry of orange-colored silken web, of a texture thicker than .fine paper. This lining is useful in two ways. It prevents the walls of the house from falling down, and as it is connected with the door, it enables the spider to know what is going on above, for the whole vibrates when one part is jtouched. To one who has never seen this nest the word door may seem sin- jgular, but nevertheless, there is a door, and a very ingeniously contrived one, too, and it is regarded as one of the , imost curious things in the whole of in- feect architecture. It is a little round piece, made to fit the opening, slightly 'convex inside and ooncave on the other Bide. It is composed of twelve or more layers of web similar to that /with which the nest is lined, laid very Icloselv together, and so managed that the inner layers are the broadest, the others gradually diminishing in size, except near the hinge, which is about an inch long. All the layers are united and prolonged into the tube; consequently it is the firmest ami -strongest portion of the whole struct­ ure. The material is so elastic that - the hinge shuts as though it had a spring. The nest is always made on a sloping bank, and one side is higher than tl:e other, the hinge being invariably placed on the highest side. The spider knows well that when placed in this way the door will fall and close itself when pushed from the outside, and so nicely does it fit in the little groove made for it that the most careful observer can scarcely discover where the joint is. Should the door be removed, another one will soon be put in its place. These spiders hunt their prey by night, and devour them in the nest. A pair of spiders, with twenty or thirty young ones, often live in one of these nests. One of the largest nests to be met with in this country is that of the labyrintliic spider, whose web every one has seen, spread out like a broad shoet in the hedges. The middle of this web, which is of a very close texture, is sus­ pended like a sailor's hammock by fine silken threads fastened to higher branches. The whole curves upward, sloping down to a long, funnel-shaped gallery, nearly horizontal at the en­ trance, but winding obliquely until it becomes almost perpendicular. This gallery is about a quarter of an inch in diameter, is more closely woven than the sheet part of the web, and gener­ ally descends into a hole in the ground or into a soft tuft of grass. Here is the spider's dwelling place, where he may • be found resting, with his legs ex­ tended, ready to spring and catch the hapless insects which get entangled in his sheet net. The most famous of all spiders is the tarantula. It is an inhabitant of Italy, Cyprus, and the East Indies. Its breast and abdomen are ash colored, as are also the wings, which have blackish rings on the inner side. Its eyes are red, two of them being larger than the others, and placed in the front of its head. Four ethers are placed in transverse direction near the mouth, and the remaining two are close to the back. It generally lives in bare fields where the land is soft, and it avoids damp, shady places, preferring a rising ground. The Insect World. Were it possible to take a census of the individual insects upon the globe, the result would be an array of figures "of whose meaning we could form little conception. Members of each species multiply in countless millions, yet even the number of distinct species i* so great that we can hardly do more than guess at it Entomologists generally " concede that upward of one hundred thousand species of insects have been recognized, and some authors place the number as high as one hundred and fifty thousand, while it is probable that these may represent not more than a tenth of the number actually inhabit­ ing the earth's surface. "Probably not less than one-half of the indicated forms," says Professor Heilprin, "be- ' long to the order Coleoptera, or bee­ tles, which is by far the most numer­ ously represented of all the orders. •'< The Lepidoptera, or • butterflies, have thus far yielded Bome fifteen thousand spades or about one-fifteenth of the total number (200,000) estimated by Speyer for the world at large--and as equal number mar, perhaps, be cred­ ited to the Hymenoptera (lees, wasps, and ante), the Hemiptera (bug), and Diptera (flies). The Orthopt -ra, or atnught-winged insects, which include the locusts, grasshoppers, etc., are con­ siderably less numerous, while the species of netted forms (Neuroptera* probably number only about two thou­ sand. The insects are most numerously developed in the tropics, but they are by no means rnrc in the coldest re­ gions reached by man. Sir George Nares brought home no less than fqrtv- five species of true insects from bevoud the seventy-eighth parallel of latitude in Grinuell Land, and more than three hundred in Iceland. Many of the in­ sects of earlier geological ages are known to us as fossils from the ro *ks, these being found by Mr. S. H. Scud- der to embrace at the present time at least two thousand six hundred spesisa. On the Ball. Railway men are not celebrated, like cabmen, for instance, for having much power in the way of repartee, but now and then they are the occasion of it in others. At a certain station a porter promptly offered assistance to a bishop, who was more often out of his diocese than his people liked. He was a humorist, loved continental trips, and carried a good deal of luggage with him. "How many artiolea, your lordship?" asked the porter. "Thirty-nine," replied the .bishop, wittoa twinkle in the eye. That's too tnany, I'm afraid, your lordship," said the man, stolidly and in perfect good faith. "Ah!" responded the bishop, dryly, I perceive that you are a dissenter." And the porter did not see the joke. This density was well shown on the North London railway not long since. A passenger remarked in the hearing of one of the company's servants how easy it was to "do," as he called it,,the company. He declared that he find often taken them in. The servant was on the alert in a moment; thought he had got a chance, and determined to make the most of it. He listened. "I have often," said the passenger to his companion, "gone from Broad street to Dalston Junction without a ticket. Any one can do it easily; I did it my­ self yesterday." When he got out of the train, the servant of the company followed after, and wanted to know how it was done. At first the passenger would not give the information; but at last, for a little monetary consideration, he agreed. The money was paid. "Now," asked the official, "how did you manage to get from I'road street to Dalston Junction without a ticket?" "OH," said the passenger, with a smile, "I simply walked the distance. That railway servant grimly saw the joke but felt that he had paid for it rather dearly. On the old Stockton and Darlington Railway, in the days when that oom- pany took the preachers of the Gospel at half price, like children, one of the ticket clerks, wheu asked for minister's ticket by a somewhat unclerical-looking man, expressed a doubt as to his pro­ fession. "I'll read you one of my ser­ mons if you doubt my word," said the minister. "No, thank you," said the ticket clerk, with a gloomy smile, and handed the ticket over without any further proof. Still, there was once a railway man who must have been a wag at heart. He was an engine driver and had been discharged for not exercising due care in the course of his duty. He applied to be reinstated in his former occupa­ tion, when the following dialogue took place. "You were dismissed," said the Super­ intendent austerely, "for letting your train come twice in collision. Once we could have overlooked, and we did so on your first occasion; but it is impossi­ ble for us to pass over a second offence, and you only waste your time is making such an application as you are now pro­ ceeding with." "Why," said the engine driver, inter­ rupting him, "that is the very reason why I ask to be restored to my work." "How BO?" asked the Superintendent in astonishment. "Because, sir," replied the man, "if I had any doubt on the occasion as to whether two trains could pass each other on the same line, my doubt is now entirely removed. I have tried it twioe, sir, and I find that it can't be done; and you may take my word for it that I snail not try the experiment again." And he did not, for they would not allow him the opportunity.--Chamber's Journal. 8LAPPCW FAG*. *OVET US1SOF Bebalte of a Woraaa W1H> Was Insoltedby ClailN XIX. Charles XH. of Sweden has been represented as naturally indifferent to women. He abjured at a very early age all intercourse with the sex. The Kings of Sweden, at that period, were of easy acoeas on the part of their sub­ jects. They practiced the condescen­ sion, but within proper limitation*, of sometimes even engaging in their oon- vivial pastimes. Charles XIX, on his accession, en­ joyed tim jocund prerogative with all the vivacity of his very early youth; and one evening, but a little time be­ fore he was to leave Stockholm to open his military renown, he went to sup with a Dalecarian gentleman residing at the capital. Charles was then only in his fifteenth year, and loved to talk with this brave descendant of the preserver of his great ancestor, Gustavus Yasa, with all the fervor of his own royal patriotism. But the young King's romance did not end there. He had seen a beautiful serving maid fr6m those very moun­ tains, the wildest regions of his king­ dom ; he had seen her once or twice at­ tend in the rooms, while a guest under the simple roof of his brave subject. He had seen, and admired her in silence. It happened that evening that ahe opened the door for him. She was alone and he was unaccompanied. He could not resist the temptation, for she blushed at the sight of him and ex­ hibited emotion. The King thought there was more than kingly awe in this, and, gently taking her hand in his, proffered a kiss. He expected she would gladly accept it. But he was mistaken; she drew back. He thought she was only coy and attempted to force the kiss. She struggled; then, bursting from him, with words of se­ vere rebuke, in the agitation of her re­ pulsion, struck him iu the face. At the moment she disappeared, the gen­ tleman of the house, having heard the scufile, came out of his room to see what was the matter. On seeing the King and his disorder the worthy Dalecarian, after a few hasty words of respect, inquired if any­ thing had happened to disturb lus Majesty. Charles smiled and composedly said: "I confess that I am disturbed, and discomforted likewise, and deservedly so, for I am ashamed to say I tried to force a kiss from your pretty damsel, and she made my cheek suffer for it. This little adventure, however, will give me my freedom from all of her sex for life. "I am a king and a soldier," he con­ tinued: "my soul's first object is the glory attendant upon those titles, and I know that the greatest men have at times wrecked both by an undue ad­ miration of women. They ruined An­ tony, they almost ruined Cscsar, and they made a fool of Alexander; but, by Heaven! they shall not ruin or make a fool of me. I know the susceptibility of my own nature, and I know the power--the hearts--the tyranny of the sex. Therefore, from this moment, I swear by the scepter of Sweden and this good sword never to look on woman again with an eye to desire her smile or fear her frown--in short, to regard her as to me no more." It was even with solemnity that he kissed his sword on uttering bis vows, and then, turning their discourse im­ mediately on the business of his visit, the old Dalecarian saw only the brave and loyal descendant of the great Gustavus before him. Poor Mamma. The moment of supreme dignity in a boy's life is when he first gets into trousers. Perhaps the feeling of triumph is due more to his now having discarded long skirts than to anything else. This appears from the remark of one observant youth, who, upon the memorable occasion, glanced down over the new glories of his person, and ex­ claimed, "Now- I've got two legs, just like Sam." Small Robin, when he had come to this first turning-point of life, showed himself under similar circumstances more of a gentleman. Arrayed in his new suit, he was at first speechless with sheer delight. Then at length his joy fbund tongue, and he burst out, "O mamma, pants make me feel so grand! Didn't it make you feel grand when--" But an awful consciousness came over him that this bliss had never been shared by his mother, and ha laid his wee, chubby hand pityingly against her cheek, saying, pathetically, "Poor mamma! poor mamma!".-- Youth's Companion. Hemorrhage of the Lungs* Hemorrhage from the lungs fs a symptom of consumption whieh excites the greatest apprehension, not only in the patient, but in friends. It should be remembered that it is not only rarely fatal, but, also, that it invariably brings relief, in a measure, from the cough and the distressing constricted sensation previously felt in the chest. Many remedies are advised for this emer­ gency, but rest and opium are the most valuable. One grain of opium, or twenty-five drops of laudanum, should be given at once, and repeated in from four to six hours. The patient must be kept perfectly quiet, and not al­ lowed to speak. His fears are best subdued by the force of example, and his friends must appreciate this fact and conduct themselves accordingly. Rest in bed should be enforced for three or four days after the hemorrhage has ceased.--Boston Herald. THE heart is a small thing, but de- siretli great matters. It is not suf­ ficient for a kite's dinner, yet the whole world is not sufficient for it.--Hugo de Anima. • Brought Him Back. The conversation had turned upon the pernitiousness of practical joking, when a well-known business man said: "Don't speak of practical joking-- don't make the merest reference to anything of the kind, for it makes me shudder. You all know Beasley, the commercial traveler. He is an excee 1- ingly good-natured and prankish fel­ low, so much given to mild joking that on one occasion, only a few weeks ago, a party of us decided to play a joke on him that he would not be likely to for­ get. We didn't know how to proceed and were tangled up in those perplex­ ing intricacies which come of numerous suggestions when a plan suddenly pre­ sented itself. Beasley, having re­ mained in Chicago for several days, de­ cided to go to St Louis, where his wife and little boy lived, stopping for a day at Bloomington to attend to several customers whom he had at that place. My plans were laid as soon as he made known his intentions, but I pretended that I did not want him to go. " 'I must,' said he. 'I wrote to my i wife several days ago, telling her to | address me at Bloomington, and be- | sides, I have business there that must be attended to at once.' | "That night we went to the railway i station with him, and when the train had gone we hurried up-town and set our plans in working order, which were i --diabolical, I admit--to have Beasley arrested in Bloomington and brought I back on the morning train. How we ; chuckled when the officer assured us | that the arrest should be made; and I how we gloated over the fact that we | would at last get even with our friend. " 'He won't know what in the world to think of it,' said Sam May field. 'I'd ! like to Bee his expression of counte­ nance when the officers nab him, and hear his indignant protestations.' " 'He'll howl like a wounded animal,' remarked Joe Shimmers. " 'And do considerable squealing, too,' I replied. "Early the next morning we hurried to the station. Shortly after the train rushed in, May field exclaimed: 'They've got him! See, yonder they come!' "When the officers came up with the prisoner, we rushed forward and roared with laughter, explaining that it was all a joke. I should have mentioned before that we brought along a man authorized to release Beasley, Our friend, even after finding that it was all a joke, did not smile, or in the least seem to be relieved. Indeed, his face was deathly pale, and bore such traces of intense suffering that 1 was deeply stricken with remorsa He sat down with a despairing drop and covered his face with his hands. " 'Beasley,' said I, approaching him, *You must forgive us, old fellow. Re­ member that you have played many a joke on us.' " 'Not such an awful joke as this,' he replied. 'Just'as the officers arrested me the following telegram from my wife was handed me.' "He gave me the telegram, and with a feeling of horror creeping over me, I turned to the boys and read as follows: " 'Our little boy la dead. Hurry home. -•MABT.' "No," continued the narrator, "you must never ask me to go into a prac­ tical joke"--Arkansaw Traveler.

Its adaptabili­ ty Is astonishing, and the wildest spec­ ulations as to its future are excusable when we reflect upon the present uses of this material. As the delicate sub- stanoe can l>e made to serve for steel or iron, it is not difficult to understand how paper is for many purposes now taking the place of wood. Mention iras before mado of a now mil! in Sweden for the manufacture of paper from moss. Paper of different thick­ nesses and pasteboard made of the ( white moss have already been shown, the latter even in sheets three-quarters of an inch thick. It is as hard as wood, and can be easily painted and polished. It has all the good qualities, but none of the defects of wood. The paste­ board can consequently be used for door and window frames, architectural ornaments, and all kinds of furniture. Paper made from strong fibers, such aiB linen, can, in fact, be compressed into a substance so hard that it cannot be scratched. As houses have been made of this novel building material, BO almost everything requisite to com­ plete and furnish a residence has since been manufactured of paper. After the Breslau fireproof chimney, it is quite possible, for instance, that cook­ ing or heating-stoves can be made of similar materials. These paper stoves are annealed--that is, painted over with a composition which be. omes part of the paper, and is fire-proof. It is said to be impossible to bum them out, and they are much cheaper than iron stoves. * Bath-tubs and pots are made in the same manner by compressing the paper made of linen fibers, and annealing. The tubs, we' are assured, will last for ever and never leak. Placed on the fire they will not burn up, and it is almost impossible to break or injure th. m. Our rooms can be floored with this wonderfully accom­ modating material, as proved by the Indianapolis Bkating-rink, before re­ ferred to in this journal. It may here be mentioned that cracks in floors, around the skirting-board or other j parts of a room, may be neatly and j permanently filled by thoroughly soak- j ing newspapers in paste made of one pound of flour, three quarts of water, and a tablespoonful of alum, thoroughly boiled and mixed. The mixture will be about as thick as putty, and may be forced into the cracks with a case- knife. It will harden like papier- mache. Doors, which one would think were polished mahogany, but that they | swing so lightly and are free from 1 swelling, cracking, or warping, are I composed each of two thick paper | boards, stamped and molded into • panels and glued together with glue ! and potash, and then rolled through I heavy rollers. These doors are first | covered with a waterproof coating, then | painted and varnished and hung in the | ordinary way. Few persons can detect that they are not made of wood, par­ ticularly when used as sliding doors. Black walnut is said to be getting very scaroe in this country; but picture- frames are now made of paper and colored like walnut, and are so perfect that no one could detect them without cutting them. Paper-pulp, linseed oil, and carbonate of lime or whiting are mixed together and heated into a thick cream, which, on being allowed to cool, is run iato molds and hardened. Drawing-rooms can be set off by handsome pianos manufactured from paper--a French invention. A beauti­ ful musical instrument of this kind has lately been an object of great curiosity to the connoisseurs and musical savants of Paris. The entire case is made of A IHM hjr Jtary.
