A gentleman who was fond of studying the habits of insects, one day fond a large pidcr near n pond of water. He took a long stiak, and put the spider on one end of it. He then went to the side of the pond, and stretchiitg out as far as he could, fixed the other end in the bottom of the pond and left the stick standing straight up out of the water with the spider upon it. He then sat down on the bank to watch what the insect would do. It first went down the stick till it came to the water, but finding that there was no hope of getting off there, it returned to the top. It then went np and down the different sides of the stick, feeling and looking carefully, till it found there was, no way of escape at any part. Then it went iii.ee more to the top, and remained quiet for a while, as if flunking what to do. Afters short pause, the insect began tospin a thread, !oug enough to reach from the to the edge of the pond, when this was done, it fastened one end of the thread to tho top of the stick, and let the rest of it limit in the bree/e. It waited till the wind stretched the thread out towards the side of (>ond. The insect then went crawling along th thread till it reached the end. After floating in the air a little while it alighted ikf el v on the ground and scamper- ed off to its home.

Bose did not always escape unbanned in theai conflicts, but the intelligent dog was soon able to tell, in his dog fashion, when he had been wounded by a snake, if there had been DO witness to the battle. He knew the remedy would immediately lie applied that always brought him ralief, which was a big poultice of raw onions, well pounded. So familiar did the poultice-bound riose become to the few neighbors that they came to expect to find him displaying his " badge." " The worst fright I ever had from seeing a rittlesnake unexpectedly," said Mrs. Krown, "was one morning during bean time. I'd taken little May to the bean patch with me, and she, :: little toddling thing, sto.-vl beside *ne when I drew aside some broad bean leaves and put my hand almost on a Urge rattler. Bow had scented danger and quicker than I could think was after the reptile. A faint- ness came upon me, and I could scarcely walk to the house, though iu a great hurry to get ready an onion poultice for poor Bose. ' Mamma, Bose is kyin,'" said little May, listening to the means the faithful creature was using to ask me to help him. Another time I went to the shelves that I had curtained off at one end of the cellar, ii'ing them aa a safe and pantry, In a great hurry. Upon lifting the curtain, I very nearly roused up a rattlesnake snugly quartered beside a plate of cold boiled ham Without a struggle Bose destroyed his invader.
