It has bright blue body, nearly two
inches long, and wings Of a golden hue.
AS it flies here and there in the sunlight,
glittering like a fash Of fire, one mo-
ment resting on a leaf, the next on a
granite bowlder, it keeps up an inces.
SAINT buzzing, which is caused by the vi
bration of it's wings. No sooner does the
tarantula hear this than he trembles
with fear, for well he knows the fate in
store for him when once his mortal foe
perceives his whereabouts. This it soon
does, and hastens to the attack
At first it is content with flying in cir
cles over its intended victim Gradually
it approaches nearer and nearer. At
last, when it is within few inches, the
tarantula rises upon his hind legs and
attempts to grapple with his foe, but
without success. Like flash the giant
wasp is ON its back The deadly fangs
have been avoided The next instant
fearful sting penetrates deep into the
spiders body. Its struggles almost cease.
A sudden paralysis creeps over it, and
it staggers, helpless, like a drunken
man, first to one side, then to the other.
These symptoms, however, are only Of
short duration. While they last the
wasp, but few inches away, awaits the
result. Nor does it have to wait long. A
few seconds and all sign of life has dis
appeared from the tarantula. The once
powerful legs curl up beneath the body,
and it rolls over dead. Chambers Jour

wbv the Tombs were Rif,ed.

The reporter of the time of Rameses
TX does not take note of the walking
delegate, though strikes were numerous
then among the Theban workmen. AS
laborers were paid in food, the contract
ors were often behind with their sup
plies Erwin writes that sit is one of
the acknowledged characteristics of
modern Egypt that payments can never
be made without delays; so also i'll old
Egypt the same routine seems to have
been followed out with respect to pay
ments in kind - To build or keep the
tombs and monuments of the dead in
good order must have required a vast
number of workmen.
If they were not paid and were starv
ing, familiarity with the mortal remains
of the great and the property stored
away in mummy cases had made these
workmen Indifferent to the idea of there
being any peculiar kind of sacrilege in
committing robbery. That accounts, so
think many authorities, why so many
tombs have been rified. Probably for
that reason were built those vast masses
Of stone, with narrow passages, so as to
guard an entrance from thieves. But
precautions extending over thousands of
years are impossible. If the thief Of one
generation was foiled, his descendants
were more enterprising or expert, or,
maybe, curious. Bearing this in n.ind,
the more remarkable are the recent finds
made by M de Morgan at Dachouar.

TO INVENTORS.

If you have made an invention you want a
patent. And you want good one. There are
various kinds of patents. Some of them are
not worth Keeping around the house They
don't protect 1t is as unsafe to trust to them
as to lightning rod without a ground con-
nection. That is the kind an inventor is like
ly to get when he draws up his own specif1ca-
tionS or trusts the work to an irresponsible
attorney. 1t is not the kind dealt in by the
Press Claims Company.

THE DATE FOR EASTER.

~Thirty days hath September"
Every person can remember,
But to know when Casters come
Puzzles even scholars-some.
When March the twenty-first is past,
Just watch the silvery moon,
And when you see it full and round,
Know Easter'n be here soon.
After the moon has reached its full
Then Easter will be here
The very Sunday after,
In each and every year.
And, if it hap on Sunday
The moon should reach its height,
The Sunday following this event
Will be the Easter bright.

Association TO include Chicago, St

of spreading it all over the United

boycott is by order of President
Stillmaa from Danbury, Conn. He
also strongly recommends the cstab-
lishment of a national abbatoir to re-
Iieve the association Of dependence
on packers. The local differences
are due to drayage charges and the
maintenance of retail stores at the
packing houses The grocers and
provisions dealers Of the United

boycott by the Butchers Associa-
tion.

The Interstate Drill.

MEMPHIS, May l7.-This was the
closing day of competitions by volun.
teer military companies in the inter
state drill and encampment. The
National Fencibles of Washington,
D c., the present champions of the
United States and holders Of the Gal
weston semi-centennial cup, drilled to
hold their title and their work was of
the highest type, but Capt. Domer in
turing the pages of his programme
omitted one and consequently the
champions failed to execute ten of the
movements required, thereby losing
the championship.
The Morton Cadets of Washington,
also drilled for the championship and
performed an excellent drill, causing
many to pin their faith to the young
sters as cup winners. The Thurston
Rifles of Omaha, under command of
Capt. Scharff, also drilled in the high
class and are considered by many to
be the victors. The company, how.
ever, which seems to be most pro-
baby the champion one, is the Sealey
Rifles of Galveston. Their work
marked them as the equals of either
of the companies in their class with
the additional virtue of having com.
pleted the entire programme within
a shorter period than either.

at the interior are about at parity
with quotations at the seaboard,
aud lower prices are looked for.

features of the situation are bank

W edgefeld Letter
WEDGET1EID, MAY 2lst, 1895.


According to law and order the taxpayers
me, in the school house on last Saturday,
18Th instant, and decided, unanimously, to
lew special tax of two mills on the prop
er;y in the school district, for the purpose of
building a new school house for white chill
dren, on lot beautifully situated, given :or
that purpose by Mr.. Aycock, in the town of
Wedge6eld. Taxable property iu this school
district is something oyar four hundred and
Fifty thousand dollars (S45o, ,ooo). Mr. J.
H. Aycock was made chairman and Mr.. j..
B. Ryan secretary of the meeting. There
being no further business than above sfs'ed,
the meeting was adjourned subject to call of
chairman.
TIE public funds for this year have run
out. but the school will run one month
longer to make out the ten months. Moth
ing makes greater progress than education,
and if we can keep Prof. Rambo, when We
get our new school house, Wedge6eld will
rank along with any of the towns in the
State. Prof. Rambo is q graduate of Mullen
berg College, Penn, and was educated for a
teacher. Being a professor Of music, too,
makes him an acquisition that we can i'll
afford to lose.
Miss Betty Aycock mas returned from Mar
ion, where she has been on an extensive visit
to relatives.
Miss Lucy Singleton has returned from
Sumter, after very pleasant week spent
with friends.
We are sorry to learn that we are 20 lose
Rev. Mr. Capers as assistant to Rev. Mr.
Kershaw, but our loss will be Anderson's
gain. Mr.. Capers has made many warm
friends, who will hate very much to give
him up, but we are glad for him that he is
doing 80 we'll.
The many friends here of Dr.. Bossard have
watched and inquired very closely into the
reports from him, and now their anxiety has
merged into qualification, since his condition
is go favorable.
Miss Name Ferguson, of Laurens, is on a
visit 10 Miss Betty Aycoek.
For the past Ave or six years, as the ponds
became better drained, Wedge6eld has BE-
come more and more healthy. am sorry to
say few remain undraiaed entirely, but for
the past twelve months the health of the place
has been very remarkable. We have in this
town proper, splendid natural drainage,
which is something to be proud Of.
