There are various species of the insect of
different colors and two different kinds Of

because they wear so little clothing on ac-
count of the intense heat. A violent fever is
the beginning of the disease; the person bit

violently. Musicians are called, and il the
tune does not strike the fancy Of the "Taran-
tata" Tor Tarantato, the person who has been
bittenl she Tor hel moans louder, crying, mo,
no; not that air." The fiddler instantly
changes, and the tambourine beats fast and
furious to indicate the difference of time. At
last the "Tarantata" approves of time, and,
springing up, begins to dance frantically.
II she has the dry ''Tarantismo" her friends
try to find out the color OF the "Tarantola"
that has bitten her, and adorn her dress and
her wrists with ribbons of the same tint as
the insect, white or blue, green, red or vel
low. If no one can indicate the proper color,
she is decked with streamers of every hue,
which fiutter wildly about as she dances and
tosses her arms in the air. They generally
begin the ceremony indoors but it often ends
in the street on account of the heat and the
concourse of people.

Corydon, Ind, boasts a historical elm tree
under whose spreading branches tradition
has it that session Of the Indiana territorial
legislature was held. 1t is known that an
extra session of the legislature was held at
Corydon during a summer while Indiana .-.-
a territory. II Is also believed that the tree
was then large enough to shelter such body,
and as it stood upon cool, mossy bank near
a spring, and only short distance from the
Capitol, it is quite probable that the members
of the legislature would leave a warm, crowd
ed room and repair to such a cool spot. A
convention was held at Corydon in June, 1916,
for the purpose of adopting constitution for
the new state. 1t has been reported that this
convention was held under the famous tree
1t is a known fact that in a later day the
grand jury for the Harrison circuit court
held sessions under the tree. Many visitors
on reaching this place ask to see the historical
tree, and are referred to this spreading elm,
whose body measures l3 feet inches in cir
cumference and between the tips Of the limbs
is a distance of lis feet.-New York Star.

How He Made Five Dollars.

The easy manner in which people may be
humbugged, and the great power that Curl
osity can exert, is illustrated in little story
told by DIR. Richardson this morning. He
told of a man who owned a SOW and pigs
ordinary scrub stock. He placed one OF the
pigs in box and carried it to town, and
with mysterious air intimated that the box
contained a great curiosity. His friends were
anxious to get peep into the box, but he
persistently refused to let any one look into
it. Finally, one mans curiosity was so great
that he offered "A small amount for the privi-
lege of looking into the box. While disput-
ing about it, others made similar offers, until
five dollars was secured. The owner then
reluctantly consented for the box to be
opened, when 10 and behold 1t was an ordi-
nary little pig. People love to be hum
bugged, and the man not only made five
dollars, but was more popular than ever

CUT IAN IMPATIENT Cd SEED SowER.
Its feed motion, as will be observed
from the cut. is got from the hub of the
wheel marked A, Fig. and Fig. 4, in
stead of from the spokes as in all other
wheelbarrOw sewers. thereby saving
friction. which makes the machine run
very much lighter.
The wheel is about three feet in diam
eter and just as light a it can be made
and be sufficiently strong. The length
of box should be COVER rled by the width
of drill. The length of box should lit
tie more than cover Two throughs Of
your drill, as this will prevent any mis-
seeding. The box mus have false bot
tom, and the bottoms both grooved, so
when they are screwed together the
groove will be just large enough to let a
good sized chalk line cord play easily
through it. The bottoms, before they
are put together, must be bored with
three-eighth or half inch bits.
The holes should be four inches from
center to center in each of the two boards
forming the bottom of box, but when put
together they should be so arranged that
the hole in the upper board would strike
the lower board Just half way between
the holes in it. This causes the string as
it is forced backward and forward to
draw the seed for two inches along the
groove before it drops out OF the lower
hole, thereby cnusins c~on dissribo-
ton of seed at all times. One can sow
from four to sixteen quarts per acre-at
will-simply by lowering or raising the
cord in the elbow mari ed B. The feed
wheel is held to the octagonal piece
fastened to the hub, by a coiled spring
on the opposite end of lever marked C..
With a cover on the boz it can be used
with equal satisfaction in windy weather.

farmer is somewhat proverbial. 1t is

anything for nothing. His keenness
in this respect was we'll illustrated by
an experience of a young Boston man
who recently spent week in New

to hire a boat for the day, and the
farmer owned one which was moored
to the bank of the river. Can YOU
let me have your boat for the day. he
asked of the owner. well, let me
see" was the cautious reply. Il don't

Among the diseases which often
long defy the efforts of the physician
there is scarcely one, in which a cure
is possible, more obstinate than sciat-
lea. 1t is Il neuralgia, as its name inn
plies, affecting the sciatic nerve,
which lies along the back of the hip,
thigh and leg. 1t is not a common
trouble, contrary to the general inn
preston consequent npon its being
confounded with rheumatism involv-
ing the parts covered by the sciatic
nerve The obstinate character of
sciatica should be generally under
stood, otherwise in many instances
physicians undertaking to treatit may
be unjustly blamed There are many
influences capable of exciting it, the
most common one is probably catch
ing cold, the lower part of the body
particularly being exposed Lifting
and strainlng, are among its causes; SO
also are constipation, hemorrhoids, oc-
cupations requiring persistent sitting
posture, local injuries, etc. The RENE
dial measures for sciatica include quite
a number of internal mendicants, in
lections of various narcotic agents,
also electricity, blistering, local freez-
ing of the skin by sprays, nerve
stretching, etc. Very rarely indeed a
case yields readily to treatment, but in
many instances one measure after an
other is tried without success, which
is only reached after almost every
known expedient has been resorted to.
4 cure in every case OF sci3tica is pos
sible, aud can iii time be affected, but
the victims patience must often be
