Sir Edwin ArnOld's Belief.

The poet had finished his pipe and
there was the proof of his leader upon
his table awaiting his hand, but his
charming conversation did not cease.
He told of his love for the editorial
work that brought him face to face with
the issues of the day. He is profound
optimist. "Tbe course of mankind is
constantly toward perfection," he said.
believe in humanity. / believe in
the worlds great future. The trend of
human events emphasizes the truth of
this statement; though we may be hor-
rifed today by reading of brute who
butchers his wife, these events should
not shake our faith. If we look at the
matter philosophically we will see they
are diminishing series and that the
world is growing grander and nobler.
There are some things which our gen.
Grafton must do for it yet. One of these
is to rob the grave of its terrors. Man
should grow to think death as ordinary
and as necessary as sleep, and should
be prepared to meet the end with no
more concern than when he draws the
draperies of his couch about him and
lies down to pleasant dreams. '"-Ne,o

My harp is on the willow tree,
Else would sing. o love, to thee,
A song Of long ago
Perchance the song that Miriam sung
Ere yet Judea's heart was wrung
BY centuries of woe.
The shadow Of these centuries lies
Deep in thy dark and mournful eyes
But hush and close them now,
And In the dreams that thou shalt dream
The light of other days shall seem
To glorlfy thy brow
] ate my crust In tears to-day
As scourged went upon my way,
And yet my darling smiled
Ay, beating at my breast, he laughed
My anguish curdled not the draught-
Twas sweet with love, my child
Our harp is on the willow tree
have no song to sing to thee
As shadows round us roll;
But hush and sleep and thou shalt hear
Jehovahs voice that speaks to cheer
Judea's fainting soul

A Gold Mine on a Roof.
fFrom the Philadelphia Record.)


Three thousand dollars for an old Tin
roof would be pretty steep price, but
the man who gets the battered roof from
the old Tabernacle Church at Broad street
and South Penn. square, which is now be-
ing torn away for that sum will be in
great luck. Some years ago the paint
was scraped off The old roof and yielded
SIS, 600 in fine gold 1t is almost certain
to yield as much this time. The gold
comes from the Mint.
When gold is being coined consider
able quantity of it volatilizes with the
Smoke through the chimney, and rs soon
ms it strikes the air it falls. Much of it
falls on the roof Of the Mint, so much of
it that the officials save even the water
that falls upon it during shower. All
the drains from the roof are connected
with large yats in the cellar of the Mint.
Before the water finally gets to the sewer
it is strained through many blankets and
sleeves which retain the gold.
Notwithstanding all these precautions,
the gold that is annually washed into the
Delaware from the Mint is worth thous-
ands of dollars. Every particle of dirt
swept up about the Mint is carefully
stored away with the washings from the
roof, and once every year it is sold to the
highest bidder, az it cannot be used at
the Miut.

Many deaths arc on record caused by
these spiders. lie most prolonged suf--
fering MAS that Of d San Diego Woua'l.
a tarantnia sunk its fangs u her hand
dufiipg the night. The flesh was cut away
With q razor and medical assistance sum-
noneds at once. Her life was prolonged
for time. as well rs her sIfferings. For
three months she fingered under the
effects, her hands constantly creeping and
crawling along the bedding in horrible
imitation Of the motions of the tarantula.
The Mygaie sometimes spreads over six
inches. square, but more frequently four
or Eve inches. The writer has at the
present time a stuffed specimen that ex-
tends about six and half inches. a
shaggy coat of hair covers the surface OF
the great spider 1t is supplied with six
strong, bony legs, and two dangerous
pedipaips or strikers, each armed with a
sharp sting and poison sac. The strikers
are frequently mistaken for two front legs,
and from this arises the idea that the
creature has stings on its feet. Two
powerful projections, resembling jaws,
protrude from the head. Under each OF
these is a curved poison flung, similar to a
cats claw, but longer exactly like those
Of rattlesnake,) which may be lifted,
extended and hooked into the victim. A
person thus stung Cor bittenD must cut
the .tarantula away at once, for the spider
does not seem willing to unlock its fanSs.
Tarantulas are considered deadly toes
to each other and are seldom found in
company. When imprisoned together
there is n fight, one succumbs and is eaten
by the victor. Nature has done service
in making the .tarantula so hideous and
formidable looking object. Indeed, it
is owing to this responsiveness that no
greater number of persons are stung.
The sight of the great hairy spider crawl
ing near by will cause a cold, creeping
sensation down the back of almost any
one. I'D
The deadly foe of Mr.. Tarantula is the
tarantula hawk. These giant blue wasps,
with their fiery wings, are deadly foes to
the tarantula, and should be encouraged
in every locality. They seem never to
rest for moment, and with tireless ener-
gy fly and walk rapidly along the ground,
running into every crevice and hole, and
examining every suspicious object after
the tarantula.
The fate of the giant spider when dis
covered by the hawk is certain, and at
tended with fascinating horror.
The winged insect hovers over the VIC
tim until it finds a good opportunity to
sting The poison acts in peculiar
manner, the tarantula becoming paralyz-
ed. In this state the eggs of the hawk
are laid in the spider, who remains alive
to be slowly devoured by the hungry

DEADLY TARANTULAS.
Horrible Hairy Spiders Whose Bite Ii
Certain and Painful Death.


1t is fact not generally known that
there are two varieties Of tarantulas in
Arizona and New Mexico. This probably
accounts for the conflicting reports about
the deadly nature Of the tarantula poison.
The so-called Texas tarantula is BY no
means an agreeable bcdfellow, but his
bite is by no means fatal. The, yenomous
Texas tarantulu, in spite OF all discus
sions to the contrary, does build and live
in the trap-door spider nest. There seems
to he current idea that the trap-door
spider is harmless, which is certainly'er-
.roneous.e Ituses no vel, NET easily cap

Those who have seen this arachnidan by
daylight Gun have little idea OF its power
and feetness. During the. day IT moves
slowly and clumsily in the dazzling light,

with ease and certainty Credible ne
counts have appeared stating that the
.tarantula can leap sixteen feet, says, the

ENMITIEs ARE NOT SO DEEP
The Peculiar Manner in Which Man
Made Friends of His Enemies

A friend has told me queer experience
of his, from which philosopher may
draw thought, says John Swinton in the
New York Sun. Last year he was sent
abroad to a quiet place by his doctor on
account of some puddcr in his brain which
had affected his memory. While abroad,
he suffered an almost total loss of MEM
CRY, SO that he forgot all about his own
past life, as well as about his friend and
even his foes, though his other mental
faculties were still measurably servicea-
BILE to him At one time, while living in
seclusion, he took from among his papers
some old memoranda, in which he found
The names of half a dozen people in New
York whom he had evidently known in
other times, though he could not recall
their figures. He had n dim notion that
he had once been at loggerheads with
them, but he did not recollect that, after
some bitter EXPERIENCES, he had set them
down as enemies to whom he could never
be reconciled Henow made up his mind
to renew acquaintance with the men whom
he had become aware that he had once
known. He sent them genial letters,
adorned with endearing words, and soon
lost all memory of having done SO. In
course of time, after his brain troubles
were somewhat relieved; and lie had par
italy recovered his memoryr, ne was sur
prised at receiving from this country, by
successive mails, half dozen friendly
letters from as many correspondents whom
he now remembered us enemies in a feud
that had lasted for years, and who NIL
welcomed the advances he had made and
told of their pleasure in renewing the
fellowship that had been so unhappily in
terrupted. Hereplied to his correspond
ents in the same spirit, and, since he got
back to New York, sound in mind with
memory restored, lie has had amicahle in
tercourse with them. In philosophising
over The experience he narrated, he says
he has comesto the conclusion that, after
all, some of the cnmities of life are not so
deep MS they once seemed to him to be-

THE WHEAT CORNER.
The Farmers to Enter the Cornering
Business and Hold the Crop Back.

A gigantic scheme to corner" the en-
tire wheat crop Of the whole country has
been devised by the leaders of the Farm
ers' Alliance Of the United States. If
the plan succeeds the most stupendous
trust of the age will he formed, and the
price of wheat will be forced mp to an I'M
paralleled figure. The scheme involves
500, OG0, 900 bushels Of wheat, and is
simply to hold back the greater part Of
this until hunger compels the consumers
of the world to pay the enormous price
demanded. Circulars have already been
issued by the Alliance to 100000 farmers
since the beginning of July, and 100000
more will be sent out. The Alliance
leaders have before this denied that they
we're trying to form n wheat trust, but
their circular is a powerful refutation of
their denials AT the same time these
Alliance prophets have been predicting
a rise in the price Of wheat, and been ad-
yisinc influential farmers in all sections
of the country to hold back their crops
until fall or early winter in order to Sc
cure the benefit of this predicted advance.
Very pointedly the New York Tribune
adds: "1he authors Of the circular, it
will be observed, assume it to be fact
that the farmers Gun hold in their gram
aries, without inconvenience to them
selves and as long as they choose, a wheat
crop which is estimated at 100000, 900
bushels. If that is the actual condition
of the American farmer everybody will
rejoice to know it; but if it be true what
an enormous amount of remarkably tall
lying has been done and continues to be
done day by day by the men who have
pictured and who continue to picture his
condition as that Of an abiect, hopeless,
debt ridden slave, bound hand and foot
by the money power, whose condition
nuught can alleviate save the issue by the
Government Of few thousand millions
of fat money"
