The Illinois people along the Mis-

recent flood has carried away from
them and deposited elsewhere, fifteen
thousand acres of land worth forty
dollars an acre, or sixty Thousand
dollars for the whole. Ii this es,ray
Illinois land could only be, and
doubtless some of it has been, spread

Garfield as a Senator.

Jay Charlton wrote thus of President
Garfield, Jan. %, 1880:
This man, who at an age which has
not vet touched the ifties, win be one
of the strongest republicans in the
United States senate when he takes his
seat. He is both scholarly and practi-
cal, perhaps too greatly devoted to
books instead of to men, but one who
can handle his knowledge in a mastery
manner, and who needs no preparation.
rs he certainly never needed second
challenge, to enter into the hottest de-
bate. His keen inquisitiveness leads
him to seek knowledge under the mid
night lamp, and makes him keen in
quisitor IN the practical trays which oc-
cur under the midday sun. He is one
of the best pArliamentarians in the
country. Every ruie'of debate and OF
legislation is at the tip OF his tongue
His life as q canal boatman is probably
so we'll remembered that his scholarly
habits will not destroy his democratic
feelings. He is not eloquent in the
sense that Phillips and Conkling are.
He is powerful, nevertheless, and he
will be one of the four or five republic
can leaders in the Senate.

A Happy Home.


A pretty story about German fana-
lily discloses the secret of a happy homo,
wherein Joy aboundeth, though there
are many TO feed and clothe:
A teacher once lived in Strasburg
who had hard work TO support his fam-
lily. His chief JOY in life, however, was
in his nine children, though it was no
light task to feed them all.
His brain would have reeled and his
heart sunk, had he not trusted in his
heavenly Father, when he thought of
the number of jackets, shoes, stockings
and dresses they would need in the
course of year, and of the quantity of
bread and potatoes they would eat
His house, too, was very close quar-
tiers for the many beds and cribs, to
say nothing of the room required for
the noise and fun which the merry nine
made.
But father and mother managed very
well, and the house was a pattern of
neatness and order.
One day there came guest to the
house. As they sat at dinner the
stranger, looking at the hungry chill
dren about the table. said compassion

guest.

Yes cried the children.
''And you obey me willinglyP' The
two little girls laughed roguishly, but
the seven youngsters shouted. t.yes,

Then the father turned to the guest
and said, ''Sir, if death were to come
in at that door, waiting to take one of
| my nine children, would sayp--and
here he pulled off his velvet cap and
hurled it at the door-''Rascal, who

The tarantula is the desperate of the
spider family. 1t 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 taraatula is.
in fact, only a big spider, and usually
makes its home in the open prairie,
dwelling with his family in q nest con-
cealed beneath the tall grass. If you
tackle him in his retreat you will very
soon repent your temerity. for he
springs at you like a tiger. jumping to
an astonishing height-sometimes three
or four feet. He is one of the most
poisonous of the family of the .d1dneide,
and his bite is said to be more fatal
than that of the rattlesnake.
In q settlement called Grapeville
Prairie, near Fort Worth, some time
ago, the son of a farmer named Feath-
erstone was one day occupied in gath
ering rocks by the roadside. Upon
overturning a large, fat rock he was
suddenly confronted by large taran-
tula, the size of q mans hand, snugly
ensconced in his nest along with a
number of Young tarantulas. The big
one was yellow and black striped, aud
displayed the same inimitable color
that nature bestows on the beautiful
snake.n M
Seizing q good-sized stick, Master
Featherstone attacked the enemy in his
| stronghold, and was met with unex-
pected resistance; he succeeded in
breaking off one leg, or rather claw OF
the devil-fish of dry land, but the tar
antula, enraged. sprang upon the ag-
gressor, and. quick as thought. with his
great black eyes glittering with iiend-
isll ferocity, fastened himself on the
boys hand and arm, both Of which
swelled TO three times their natural
size--so virulent is the poison of this
desperate of the prairies. The 10y.
however succeeded in killing the tar
antula.
