Bitten by a Tarantula.

Last Saturday . Frenchman by the
name of Mitchell, employed BY Mr..
Sauve. at his ranch about five miles from
this place, was bit by tarantula. Mr..
Mitchell was engaged in pitching hay in
to a wagon at the time, and it is supposed
that he took the tarantula from off the
ground in fOrkfull of hay. and when he
raised-the hay over his head for the pur-
pose of pitching it into the wagon the
tarantula fell off the hay into the inside
of his shirt which was unbuttoned in
front at the time. Mr. Mitchell felt
something crawling on the inside of his
shirt: but before he could get his hand in
TO find out what it was the tarantula had
bitten him twice on the left side, the bites
being about six inches apart. Mitchell
immediately stripped off his shirt. and
succeeded in killing the dangerous in
truder without being nipped again. In
less than fifteen seconds from the time
be was bitten his whole side turned black
as coal, and he was unable TO walk.
His companions, who We're working
with him at the time, carried him TO the
house, q couple of hundred yards distant.
and applied brandy as restorative. in
ternally and externally, and succeeded
in saving the mans life.-Calareras

Big Crop Of Corn in 1907.

1t is not to be supposed that the farm
ers of seventy or eighty years ago pos
sessed as productive varieties of corn as
are common at the present day; that is,
il one-half that is claimed in the way of
progress in the raising of new varieties
is true. But with the poor varities the
farmers possessed in the early years of
the present century they were able to
make very good showing in the way
of large yield per acre. In the
Agricultural Register, published in Bos-
ton. 1907, We find report of trial to
see which should raise the biggest crops
of corn by two farmers residing not far
from this city. The account says that
Mr.. John Stevens, of Hoboken, n.
j., and Mr.. ID. Ludlow, of West
Chester, n. Y, bet fifty guineas upon
the superiority of their crops of corn.
In the preparation of the land Mr..
Stevens plowed his ground three times
before planting, and before the last
blowing he put on seven hundred cart
loads of street manure. The corn was
planted in double rows, five and half
feet apart, and the grain put in with a
uiobiCf hlitc VI pltccSbI palm lOdl ittt
long. with two rows of pegs three and
half inches long and seven inches apart.
The pegs were then thrust into the
soil. and then into each hole grain of
corn was dropped. a man following with
a basket of rotten manure and filling up
the hole. After the corn was planted
the rows were again sprinkled with
street manure. The corn was kept well
cultivated during the summer. and the
yield was lis bushels and two quarts
per acre of shelled corn. Mr.. Ludlow
planted his in a continuous row or drill,
dropping kernel every eight inches.
with the rows four feet apart. He
used two hundred loads Of street
manure, but he obtained only ninety
eight bushels and fourteen quarts per
acre. and lost his fifty guineas. There are
however very few farmers at the present
day that can beat this yield of the
Golden times. even with our much-laud-
ell prolific modern varieties. Y. Sun

Editorial Chances.

Speaking Of journalism one is led to
refer briefly to the chances offered in
this city. Every college Commence
ment brings nest of graduates To this
city with the expectation of obtaining a
position on some journal Alas. to
think of the disappointment which so
inevitably follows. There are those.
however, who obtain an opportunity to
'.work on space" as it is termed. This
simply means that they may contribute
interesting matter and receive their paw
whenever it is published. according TO
the space occupied The rate on the
Tribune is six dollars per column.
Space offerings are generally .-cut
down by the managing editor TO a
degree that Yields but little encourage

that he hardly made five dollars per
week curing the first year, but it eyentu-

A Trout That Winks His Eye.

In one of the small streams which go
to swell the AmmOnOosuc River. in the
White Mountains. there has dwelt for
some years last past most noted trout.
He is about the only inhabitant of his
species in the place. all others having
long since been fished out. And he has
got to be big fellow, and as beautiful
as he is big. His length is at least a
foot and one-half. while his weight Is
variouSly estimated at from three to six,
and even seven pounds. according to
the enthusiasm of the beholder. lie can
frequently be seen, shining with his
spots in the sun. and looking ripe and
luscious in the shade. as he moves about
or poises without the least motion under
the bank. 1t is safe to say that any of
the trout cranks who have been seeking
his capture this season would willingly
pay ten fold his value to pull him out.
But all schemes for his undoing have
failed. He has been beset at day
light and at twilight. Even the children
have been withheld from feeding him for
a term, to the end that he might get hun
gry,and in an unguarded moment snap
ut fly or worm cOncealing the fated
hook. But it has been all to no pur-
pose. The cunning fish ever plays with
