Whose Baby was 1t.

An infant, probably premsturely
born, was found dead yesterday
morning. just below the Belvin
street bridge, near the city hospital.
1t was dead aud appeared to have
been dropped there from the middle
of the bridge some time during the
night. The water does not flow under
the middle of the bride, and instead
of being fioated off by the current,
the body fell on the dry bank and
was found in the morning by Charley
Bettman and G. Jagge, two butchers
who were coming to the city.

HOW SPIDERS KILL.
Fabulous Stories Told Of tho Tarantulas
Bite.

Fabulous Stories Told Of tho TarantulA's
Bite.
Spiders kill their prey by the agency
of q poisonous auid, which is secrcted
in . gland, and which flows at viii to
the extremity of one of the fauces or
jaws Some writers have denied the
existence of this poisonous substance;
but the effects which spiders bite
have been known TO have upon a hui
man being prove undoubtedly that it is
present Persons who have been Bit
ten by avery large South American
spider, known az Mygale fusca, have
felt the effects In the recurrence of Sc
vere pains in the portion of the body
attacked for as long as twelve or even
twenty years after the infection of the
wound. The stories told of the disas-
trous effects Of tho bites Of the taran-
tula are, however, quite fabulous Ev-
erybody has heard of the belief held
by the inhabitants of the district round
Tarantum, that II one CHANGED to be
bitten by tarantula he became sub
ject TO dire disease which could only
be cured by musical strains The dis
case no doubt cxistad, and was probably
O form Of hysteria, in the cure Of which
music may have proved beneficial,
but to saddle an innocent spider with
the odium Of producing it was distinctly
unfair.
The destructive powers Of spiders d.
not stop short at killing insects, for
some tropical species habitually catch
and eat ANAL birds Tho accounts first
given Of these formidable creatures
were for long time looked upon as
mere travellers tales. but more recent
observations have fully confirmed the
statement made by those who original
IL described them. The birds are not
caught In snarcs, for these spiders spin
no webs They conceal themselves in
crcvioes or under leaves and from such
retreat pounce upon the birds they have
succeeded In approaching A great deal
Of their hunting Is done during the dark
hours Of night. when they are able TO
steal upon sheir prey without being per

humming birds, dragging out the young

harmony with themselves, while in
their age they develop senile eccentrici-
ties. Thus the big hats at their genesis
we called picture" hats, in mid career
they drew after them picture" gowns,
and now in their death agonies they
play delirious tricks with fur, flowers,
lace, feathers and butterflies, in a mad
hodge-podge OF seasons.
Thus the huge pulled sleeves were
born while the hustle still reigned. In
their babyhood they endured the hustle,
in their iusty youth they made the
hustle to depart with unparalleled sud-
denness, and now in their middle age
they have let our skirts, for harmony
and historic accuracy sake, down upon
the ground. They belonged only on
evening frocks. We put them on street
dresses and they demonstrate their
power by causing US to sweep mud and
not sigh. There's certain inexorable
logic in the rule of q characteristic
fashion. 1t knows and will have the
things of its own.
The pulled sleeves had more stamina
than the short waists of the French
Republic and First Empire which tried
to stand against them, and so they car
ried US back to the Tudor length Of
waist and stiffness. They put upon us
the high Holbein collars sloping to the
waist and they tried to slash us with
tiny ''pullings out" but these have not
yet become thoroughly Characteristic,
and the ''slash, instead of being mate
rial, presumably that of an undergar-
ment, pulled through holes in the top
wear, has been piece Of stuff palpably
sewn on outside the dress or sleeve, as in
the Henri III. paniers now coming in,
and which are only straps of velvet so
graduated In length as to suggest the
slashed trunks of Valois courticrs, with

Not every thing can be accomplished,

Yet It has cut our long gloves down
