TarantuIa Hunting in Arkansas.

COr. luulanapOnS neiib~u-l
The most relentless industry Of the
Springs is the capture of tarantulas and
centipedes to sell to visitors. The tar.
antula is a horrible hairy spider, inn
mense in size, and very poisonous. The
centipede is long worm, with innumer-
able horned feet The bite OF a full
grown tarantula is dangerous, while that
OF the centipede is painful. Neither
will attack man, but on the contrary
will get out of the way as rapidly as pos.
sible, but each has a disgusting habit OK
getting into hoases and lurking in places
whese they are liable to be trodden on,
or clasped unawaFes in the fingers, IN
which event they are heard from. In
the Hot Springs vernacular they are
"trantlers and Santa Fes. The
reptile hunter, carrying with him several
glass jars, explores the mountain sides,
turning over such stones as look
promising, and when he finds Santa
Fe" or "trantler," he drives it in
the mouth Of the jar and closes it up.
The reptiles are killed, preserved in al.
cohol and sold to visitors. The prices
huctuate, as matter Of course. The
holder will ask an outrageous price and
take what he can get. have seen an

them 20 a begging at the shameful figure
of fifty cents each. At the latter rates
even the poorest of men could afford TO
have a tarantula, but it's rough on the
dealer. The number OF specimens offered
for sale gives an impression that the
country swarms with these poisonous
reptiles. But the fact is they are far
from abundant, and the industrious hunt
ers keep the country pretty well Cleaned

along. There was a succession of shrieks
bu, the ladies we're game, and picking
up stones they soon spoiled as fine a

was very large and very hideous in its
appearance. Likewise Mr.. Joseph L.
Long who had room at Maj. Gaines
on the hill, had tarantula adventure.
He was awakened one night from sweet
dream OF peace by female shrieks and
cries for help from an adjoining room,
Mr.. Long flew to the rescue, and in the
moonlight saw the CHASTITY form of an
immense tarantula crawling up the wall.
He stabbed at it with poker, chased it
into corner, and finally slew it, earn
ing the everlasting gratitude Of the
lady.

The Cost ofLivinr.

Valuable statistics in regard to the
comparative cost of living in America
and Europe are given in the last Massa-
chusetts Labor report:
lone dollar will buy twenty pounds
of -four in Boston, one or two pounds
more in several European seaports, but
the same or considerably less IN a ma
jority of the places compared. In Bos-
ton one dollar will buy $50 pounds Of
fresh beer roasting piece. In no place
in England will it buy so much by a
pound or more. and in Europe still less,
Copenhagen being the only place given
where it viii buy more. Butter in Eu-
rope averages a pound more to the dol
lar than here, cheese less by more than
that, except in a few spots. As tor po-
tatoes, they ere cheaper here than in
England. and dearer thsn in Ireland
or Germany. Seven or eight pounds

of pork for a dollar are sold
here, and not much over half as
much can be obtained for that sum in
England or Europe, and nowhere as
much. In rice, milk and eggs they have
the advantage of u.s. Tea costs less
here than in England, but more than on
the Continent. With coffee it is about
the same, though the difference is little.
In sugar the British are little better
off, the Continentals good deal worse.
Coal is cheaper here than in Germany,
and dearer than in Bnglasd. Merrimac
or common prints are cheaper here than
anywhere in England or Europe. Boots
are aboat the same here as there, gene
rally speaking. There are but two or
three places in England or the Cont
nent where brown sheetiugs are cheaper
than here, while in brown shirtings the
foreigners are better of, Rent for four
rooned tenements is from two to -four
times cheaper than in Boston; in Aus
tria fifteen times cheaper. Board alss
is also once and half to twice as cheap
in Europe and Great Britain as in
Boston.
