MOST SAVAGE OF ALL SPIDERS
Poisonous Taran tI1la PIucky Enough
TO Attack Almost Anything.

Inc tarantula is a large, burrowing
spider which dwells in Il shaft-like hole
IT sinks in the earth Its appearance
is most repulsive, and inspires anyone
who examines it with feeling Of pro-
found disgust. AS it stands. If fire.
Quently covers an area as large AS the
palm of mans hand, and over its
body and legs there bristles a thick
covering of reddish7brown hair. 1t
may be said that its home is in MANY
lands, but its greatest size is attained
in tropical and Semi-tropical countries.
In the south of Europe, along the
Mediterranean coast, it has been
known for centuries as the mad
spider" because the symptoms follow
ing its bite are similar to those of hy-
drOphobia. There the peaSantry, eS-
pecially those of Sicily, regard it with
mingled feelings of hate and super
stitious dread. They will tell you that
the only chance of recovery from It's
bite is for the patient to commence
dancing without delay, and to continue
until he falls senSeleSS from eXhauS-
tion-a remedy which, ridiculous aS it
seems has something TO be said III rs
favor, when we know that the one
danger is to overcome the tendency of
sleep. AS long as this can be success
fully avoided the patient is in no dan
ger, but if he gives way and allows
himself to fall into stupor then ne is
likely to succumb, even from the com"
paratively mild poison of the European
variety.
1t is in the tropical countries of South
America, however, where all forms Of
insect and vegetable life attain their
highest development, that this great
spider is most deadly. And farther
north, in the provinces of Mexico,
where it is quite numerous, its poison
is only slight degree less dangerous.
There we have met it everywhere and
studied it's habits. In the orange or
chardS, the vineyards, and the open
prairieS we have watched it attack
enemies many times it's own size, and
marveled at the ease with which it
oyercame them. Even its own kind
are not exempt from its fierce on
Slaught and we remember once seeing
a pair of them meet on an upturned
root of a zig tree and fight a duel to the
death-the dea tn of both. OF man it
seems to have no fear whatever, and
will attack without hesitation either
his hand or foot, if they come within
striking distance. In doing so it stands
upon it's four hind legs. 1t opens wide
it's enormous fangs until the mandibies
protrude in a straight line from the
face; then, with all the muscular force
it is capable of, it launches itself for
ward, sinking them with a vicious
thrust deep into the flesh of the
enemy.-Chamber Journal.

last Wednesday morning, was begun after
months of most careful preparations.

lay of the race the riders were ahead

rivalry and hard riding between the diff

the most part of the road was found fair
and the route arranged a favorable one.
At midnight there was a great throng at
the junction of Sixtieth street and the

HOW HE LOST HIS SWEETHEART.
Courtship Rivalry of Tennessee Men
and the Remarkable Outcome.

When the morning express arrived
recently from Briceville there came as
passengers Robert NJ. Lindsay and
bride, nee Miss Nellie Girton of Camp
Hageman, O. Mr.. Lindsay is one of
the largest coal operators in this sec
ton of Tennessee, and his arrival with
a wife was a very happy surprise to
his friends. Around their wedding is
woven a romance rather out of the
usual run of affairs. About year ago
G. M. Moore, also of this place, visited
the Normal University at Lebanon, o.,
and by accident met Miss GirtOn, and
fell in love with her. Moore and
Lindsay were bosom friends, and when
the former returned to this place he
confded to Lindsay the details Of his
Ohio visit. In joking way Lindsay
vowed that he would win Miss GirUon
away from Moore, and the latter, with
true chivalry, assured him that the
contest should be fraught with none
save the kindliest feelings, and that The
unsuccessful sutton should be best man
at the wedding. Soon thereafter

in question. A correspondence soon
sprung up and in the fall, Lindsay,
after an exchange of photographs,
begged the privilege of calling upon
Miss Girton at her home. The latter
referred his request to her father, u.
\. r. veteran, VINO communicated
with Tennessee comrades to ascertain
what kind Of a man Lindsay was. In
due course of time the father was in
formed that the gentleman was all
that could be desired in the way OF a
son-in-law, and when Yuletide was at
hand the southener was pressing MS
suit with Miss GirtOn. When ne re-
turned to this city at the close OF tnei
holidays he served notice upon Moore
that it was the expressed wish Of Miss
Girton and himself that he should pei
the best man at their wedding in May.
The unsuccessful rival lived up 10 hlsl

OVER AFTERNOON TEA.

Little Mrs. Cooper Cane was always
regarded as a model Of feminine pro
priety.
She was pretty enough to have in
Vulnerable enemies among her own
sex any one whom would have been
only too glad to avail herself of the
chance of casting a stone at her had
the chance ever been given. But the
chance never came. Plenty of men
were head over ears in love with this
daintieSt of dainty little women, and
had she been anxious to find the Oil
vOrce court, there would have been
no lack Of guides ready to show her
the way. But the various admirers
who had from time to time cast them
selves, metaphorically speaking, at
her feet, caused her, SO it was general
ly understood, no more sensation than
a desire to laugh imm oderately.
She was almost asleep this winter
afternoon, when Laura Leighton was
uShered into the little drawing room
of the well-known house in Mayfair,
positively faint, my DEAR to use her
own words, ''for a cup Of tea; the
Willebys were out, and the tea at
the Gdythornes-oh, yes, l looked in
there for a moments absolutely un-
drinkable,'
ut is" said Mrs. COoper-Cane, get
ting up from the chair where she had
been toasting her pretty ankles before

Poor thing said Laura. 'Oh,
d'you know" she went on, as the trim
NEST Of trim maids brought in the
tea. Il met that delightful Mr.. Ris-
dale as | came out. and he drove me
here"
Really said Mrs. Cooper Cane.
1t was evident that for her the last
thing in jeunes premiers had no in
tarest.
ooh, Know" said her friend. you
don't admire him; but then you never
do care for anybody. l believe you're
made of ice, aren't your
My dear Laura, you talk as if l
hadn't got a husband. What on earth
is Mr.. Risdale or any other man to
me? Absolutely nothing! As for you,
you are in a blaze about a different
man every month, and you've got a
husband, too; you ought to be ashamed
Of yourself
Unfortunately | have"
My dear Laura, how can you say
such dreadful things? l am sure Mr..
Leighton is a most delightful man
and an excellent husband.
Utmost as excellent as Mr.. Cooper
Cane" said Laura, sarcastically.
Mrs. Cooper-Cane frowned the most
delicious little frown in the world.
Because" she observed, with the
demurest little air imaginable, "you
and Mr.. Leighton do not-what shall
we say-always quite hit it off, that
is no reason why you should take
occasion to sheer at my own mar
riage which, 1 am glad to say, l
have never regretted.
1t was on the Zip Of Laura's tongue
to ask whether Mr. CoOper-Cane had
ever regretted it. but she bit her lip,
and. only remarking that her friends
marriage was peculiarly fortunate
one, busted herself with muffin.
By the time the muffin was finished,
and tea h3d been cleared away, the
