TARANTULAs AND SCORPIONS.
Reassuring Facts vOuched for by EN-
inent Bug Sharps.

Washington Evening Star.
The Bureau of Entomology has been col
about scorpions, centipedes and tarantulas.
Respecting the creatures all sorts of nom
sensieal beliefs are prevalent. and travellers
who have visited tropical regions disagree
as to the effects of their bites. That
the poison of any one of the three is apt
to be deadly has often been asserted. The
question derives particular Importance from
the fact that the animals are constantly
imported into this country In punches or
bananas and among other fruits from lower
ATTITUDES.
Tarantulas are simply big spiders of the
kind that build houses with trap doors.
Their bite is very severe and painful, the
scar lasting for a long time, but, though IL
p pbort t,me "a violent f q not lnfi dangerdoa to 10T Iife =
Such, at all events, is the belief, of Prof.
c.. ". Riley. In regard to the centipede Prof.
Riley says that its bite in warm climates
is sometimes excessively virulent and pain
full, though at other times, oddly enough,
the poison causes little Inconvenience. That
it is ever fatal is not believed.
Scorpion stings are very painful indeed.
They are dangerous in proportion to the
size of the animal, its age and the state of
irritation in which it may be. Tempera-
ture also has an influence upon its venom.
1t may be that the sting, is occasionally
followed by death, but such cases must be
very rare. There is no doubt that the sting
of certain species ommonl found in South
America causes fever, numbness in various
parts of the body, tumors on the tongue
and dimness of sight. These symptoms last
from twenty-four to forty-eight hours. The
effects produced diminish in violence with
repetition, so that a person who has been
stung many times may become actually
proof against the poison.
Some scorpions are much worse than
others. The rather small, slender, pale-col-
ored kinds have the worst reputation. In
warm ATTITUDES certain places are nearly
free from SCORPIONS, while others are over
run by them, for reasons not well under
stood. They are extraordinarily numerous
in a valley in the TERRA Templada of Mex
leo. There it is hardly possible to turn
over a stone without finding three or four
small and wicked scorpions of a pale color
beneath it.
1t is a common belief that the legs of the
centipede are poisonous, and that they will
leave a trail that burns like fire if the ami
NAL runs over the bare flesh. This is wholly
a mistake. The creature is naturally timid,
and will not even try to bite If 1T can get
away. The poison causes a good deal of
pain, with fever and distress of the head.
Centipedes are fond of vermin-infested beds,
and in tropical countries beds are very apt
to be so infested.

WIVES GIVE UP MUSIC.
As n Result Their Seek Con-
ISOLATION mt the Club.

Musical Courier.
The. club would not be so much blamed
for keeping men away from home in the
evening if the wives did not make the griev-
Gus mistake of giving up music after mar
riage.
The average man is tired when he gets
home from business, and after dinner he
needs some diversion from the days rou-
tine. 1t was her musical ability that at
tracted him to his sweetheart, perhaps, or
even if not an expert in the art, he no
doubt counted it a charming accomplish
ment that she could play Chopin express
lively and sing old Scotch ballads with sem
timent and feeling. But after marriage too
many women seem to become entirely in
different to the aesthetic influence of music
in the home, though they are quick to be-
wall the fact if their husbands drop any
or their eIIorIs to please.
In the days Of eourtship the sweetheart
piano. her willing fingers bringing forth soft,
rippIing strains that seem to envelop her
in an atmosphere of ideal feminine refine
ment. But when sweetheart has become
benedict the grating of his latch key in the
lock is ali the music that greets him on his
home coming. unless the maid servant is
humming After the Ball." as she sets the
dinner table.

The Faith That lis Needed.
Rev. Lyman Abbott.

Rev. LYMAN AUUUlt.
1 hear men crying out for a ehiidlike faith.
II is impossible for man to have childlfke
faith. He ought not TO want a childlike
faith. What he wants is a manly faith.
The childlike faith that believes every
thing that In told. from the hobgobIin story
of the nurse TO the Bible story of the
mother. is not a faith for men and women;
mate. that has learned how to go through
life and judge between the true and the
false. 1t is not the man who takes the
chapter OF Genesis to the last chapter OF
Revelation, every word, every letter; thank
think" who has the divinest faith. What
you want is a faith that wal think and en-
able you to bring your Judgment to bear on
that YOU may know what in it most helps
you to the higher life and lifts you up TO
. higher plane.
