Very frequently. on the great prairIc., man
wakes up in the morning and finds that he has
mad ralilesRake for sleeping partner; but there
one excellent trait in the character Of the &C rep
.iles--,hcy never bite unless disturbed, and vii
get out Of the way as soon possible, except. per-
haps, in the month Of August when they are said
TO be blind and will snap at any thing and every
thing they may hear about them.
Tarantslas. too. arc frequently found upon and
1nder the blanket Of the campaigner, and are SAID
10 be as poisonous the ra,llesnakc. They are
a large. black, vcnomous looking spider nearly "a
large as n common tea-cup, and their bite Is said
10 he even worse thnn tina, OF the rattcsnakc.-
When attacked with a stick they will rear up on
heir hind legs and attempt To bite. and are cN
iremclv lcrscious in every respect. ne least
scratch from their long fangs throws per.on into
commissions, and will produce death unless immc-
datc medical remedies can be procured. The
ballet OF In Tdrcrtuie, in which Els>sr gained
90 much applause, is beautiful creation although
founded upon n .urer.titsn of the Italians. The
bite of the real tarantula drives a person to any
thing but dancng-cvcn that specie. OF the FITS

Fanny in the ballet have alluded 10. 1t Is easy
enough to keep the ratrlesnakc from persons

the praries. By placing n hsr lari9i or rope
entirely around bed the snake will never cross

few persons, however, are bitten by either, net an
instance occurring on the route although we saw
large numbers OF each.

Clipping the long threads into very small bits, the
