The Building of her House 
carpenters do when they no longer 
need the scaffold, —tear it down. 
When she comes to a scaffold thread 
that is in the way she takes hold of it 
with her front feet, pulls it up to her 
mouth and snips it off with her teeth; 
then she rolls it into a ball with her 
palps, chews it awhile, and drops .42s a 
it to the ground When she nears 
the centre of the wheel she fast- 
ens a thread, leaving a hub of 
about two inches in diame- 
ter, where she settles her- 








rest, for her house 
is done.
