THE tarantula is the desperate of the
spider family; it frequently attains the
size of the hand, and with its great
glaring black eyes and frightful claws
seldom fails to present an appearance SO
formidable that sensitive lady, even If
used to seeing the tarantula, will scream
at the sight. The tarantula is, in fact,
only a big spider, and usually makes
his home on the open prairie, dwelling
with his family in nestsconcealed be-
meath the tall grass. If you attack him
in his retreat, you will very soon re-
pent your temerity, for he springs
at you like tiger, jumping to anAaston-
ishing height-sometimes three or four
feet. He is one of the most poisonous
of the family, and his bite is said to be
more fatal than that of the rattlesnake

HAITI is said to produce. a narcotic
plant so powerful thatit will produce
coma of any desired Intensity and
duration. A priest putting himself
under its influence can simulate death
and resurrection. A few families only
know this plant and the knowledge of
its properties is handed down from
generation to generation as an heirloom !;
but it is believed that an experienced
botanist may discover it and make it
available for medical purposes.

GEORGIA.

OF all the naughty States that kicked
up such foolish rumpus in 1861 the
State of Georgia has proved itself to be
possessed of the best practical good sense.
AT once ON the conclusion of the war it
set itself about rehabilitating itself. If
it had any fne-spun theories about State
rights or State sovereignty that hadn't
been knocked out of its head at Atlanta
or Savannah it kept them to itself or
stored them up in the bosom of Toombs-
Bob Toombs-to be fired off at his discre-
tion or indiscretion.
Georgia before the war had won for
itself the name of being the Empire State
Of the South as New York had of the
North. In territory, population, culture
and wealth it was equal to a kingdom,
and when the war closed and left it
rather desolate it had the good sense to
set about the work of restoration. 1t as
serted its State rights doctrine by ex-
empting all new factories or works for
the manufacture of goods out of the
products of the State from taxation for
the period of ten years. This drew capi-
tai into the State at once. 1t gave en-
ployment to the people. Itgave the peo-
pie something better to do than to devote
their time to corner-grocery politics, and
so now it comes about that Georgia is
still the Empire State of the South, and
has almost recovered from the aches and
bruises she received only half genera
ton ago in common with her sister States
of the South. There is no limit to the
practical good that may be accomplished
by little practical good sense in states
manship.

Rheumatism and Its Rational
Treatment.

Rheumatism is constitutional affection
attended with peculiar, irritation or in
fammation to which all parts OF the sys-
tenn are liable. The disease NAV be divided
according to its seat. or its grades of excite
ment, thus the following varieties may be
recognized: The Acute-violent local in
famnation and fever. The Chronic-char-
acterized by long duration, and lowest
grade of inaammatory action. The Nerv-
ous-in which there is neither inhamma-
ton or fever. The bilious-the irritation
extends to the liver. All these various
types yield readily to the remedial infiu-
ence of Swedish Bitters. Take table
spoonful every three hours until the bow
els have been thoroughly evacuated, then
diminish the dose, taking just sufficient be-,
fore each meal to act as an Alternative. Be
careful that the bowels are relieved at least
twice each day. Where the pain is local,
apply Brill's Pain Eradcator. Flannel.
carded wool or cotton moistened with 1t
and covered over the part affected, has
proven very successful. A large package
