About the Crysophrase.

The chrysophrase. which has been
spoken of as fashionable gem, is a
species of agate which is semi-trans-
parent. 1t is found in a natural state
chiefly in Silesia. 1t is not a new
stone, but has been known for cen
turtles. There is a chapel in Prague
where the entire walls ar. inlaid with
it. The color of chrysophrase is a pale,

paratively low. 1t is the apostolic
stone of St Paul ana according to
superstition it confers upon the wearer
the gifts of eloquence. argument and
logic. If the stone becomes Il fad of
the hour, it will hardly be because of
its symbolic meaning, for the gifts of
argument have never been a popular
attraction of womankind.

Some OF the Enemies That Attack the
Dreaded Tarantula.
Interesting anecdotes are given of
the dangerous little creature called the
tarantula- Formidable as it is. it has
enemies fully able to hold their own
against it
One of them is the centiped, which,
armed with its deadly sting, can make
vigorous combat with the tarantula.
A fight between them which is of fire.
quent occurrence, nearly always ends
in favor of the tarantula. Before the
centiped can reach 1t, it makes its
spring, and kills instantly with the
poison of its fangS-for fangs the
tarantula may be said to have. The
ends of its two long fore legs are armed
with fangs very much like a serpent's.
But the tarantula has one enemy,
which, as the boys express it, is too
much for him" This is a giant wasp,
known as the tarantula hawk, which
is as much larger than the ordinary
wasp as the tarantula is larger than
the ordinary spider.
Like the common wasp, the taran-
tula hawk finds in the tarantula the
food it wishes to lay up for its I'M
Matched young. This food must be
alive always, not dead, else the young
will not eat it. Still, while it retains
life, it must be incapable of motion.
So the tarantula hawk watches its
opportunity, and with a sudden dart
is down upon its unsuspecting enemy.
The poison from its sting instantly
paralyzes. not kills, the tarantula. and
in this helpless condition it is borne
away and packed into the cell where
the wasp's eggs are deposited.

M'PH WILL LEAD,


The New Jc%cy senator to Have Charge
of the Tariff in the upper House.
WASHINGTON. De e. lit has been
generally supposed that Senator Voor-
hees, being chairman Of the senate COM
mittee on finance, would have charge of
the tariff bill in the senate, but such
will not probably he the case. 1t has
been arranged that Senator Mcpherson.
who is the second member of the COM
mittce, shall take the lead III the senate
when the tariff bill reaches that body,
and this arrangement will probably be
adhered to il Mr.. McPherson's health
permits.
While not an advocate Of high protec-
tlou, IT Is asserted that Mr.. Mcpherson
will no favor any sweeping changes
which might disorgauize the business
interests or materially affect labor in the
manufacturing centcrs. 1t may there
fore he expected that he will not repre-
sent the more radical reforming element
Of the party.
Chances For Change in the senate.
The fact is recalled that when the Nc
Kinley bill was before the senate, Mr..
Mcpherson was the Democratic chair
man of the subcommittee which had
the tariff under consideration, and he
was naturally given moro attention 10
the subject than have other Democratic
mcmhcrS Of the finance committee. The
fact is also recalled that the senate, not
w~ithstandinG it was of the same poIit-
ical complexion as the house, when tho
Mckinley biz was before congress made
many radical changes in the bill, as it
passed the house. The fact is considered
justification for the opinion that even if
