eyomething G\bout Spiders.

f NE afternoon Cora came running to her Aunt Sarah and said,
“Oh, Auntie, there is the funniest thing in the window I ever
saw. Do come and see what it is.”

‘Where is it, Cora?” said Aunt Sarah.

“In the parlor window, and I am sure it was not there yester-
day! I never saw anything like it before, and I want you to
come and see it too.” So Aunt Sarah went with Cora to the

window,and there, sure
enough, was the object
of Cora’s surprise, and
what do you think it
was? Only a spider's
web.

Aunt Sarah was a
neat housekeeper, and
did not like to see a
spider's web in her
window, so she said;
“Oh, my! Cora, run
and get the broom so
that we can sweep it
down. I don’t want
anyspider’swebaround
the house.”

“But what is a
spiders web, Aunt
Sarah?” asked Cora.

“A spider's web,
child, is something that
aspider makes to catch |
flies.”

“But how does it
put it in the window,
Aunt Sarah?” asked
Cora. 5: :
