Portable.


Philadelphia, Pa, Nov. 3.-H. II.
Holmes, the convicted murderer Of Ben
jamin Pietzel, spent quiet day in his
cell. s"This man Of steel and heart Of
stone,' as the district attorney de-
scribed him to the jury, does not evince
in the slightest any outward sign Of
breaking down. With death actually be-
fore him now he is the same cool and
callOuS Holmes.
The prison regulations prevent any,
one from interviewing him today, but a
message was sent out that he slept well
last night and was feeling comfortable
and confident his innocence would yet
be established.
Extra care has been taken so that he
can not commit suicide.
A double guard has been placed on
his cell and will remain there until he
Is executed.

Manufacture OF Wild Men.

There are many curious trades in
the world, but the most strange must
surely be the s'artifcial manufacture
Of wild men" Yet we'll known doc
tor IN China has just certified from his
own personal experience that this ant
is regularly practiced II the fowery
kingdom.
First youth IS kidnapped, then bit
by bit he is iayed alive, and the skin
OF a dog, or bear grated, piece by
piece, upon him. His vocal chords
are next destroyed by the action Of
charcoal to make him dumb; and ths
double purpose OF causing 'setiols-
ton" of the skin and utter degrada-
ton of the mental faculties is effected
by keeping him imlnured in per-
fectly dark hole for number OF years.
In fact, by treating him like brute
for sufficiently long time he is made
into one.
At last he is exhibited to the en-.
tirely credulous Chinese ss wild man
of the woods, and his possessors reap
rich harvest.
The priests, it seems, are adopts at
the art. When kidnapper, however,
is caught by the people he is torn to
pieces, and when the authorities get
him they torture him and promptly
hehesd him. Such is life under the
rule of the son of heaven.

The TarantUla.

The tarantula is q giant spider,
sometimes measuring four inches III
length. 1t is fawn.colored above, with
white sides, marked with whitish
lines.
It has four pairs Of well-deyeloped
legs, in addition TO the mandibles or
Jaws, which contain the poison appsra-
tus. These are grooved, aud the pois-
onous secretion, which is similar IN
composition to the venom OF snakes,
is contained in gland at the base OF
the mendibles and is forced through
the grooves when the spider is angry
and grasps it's victim. The body and
legs are thickly covered with hair.
Although the bite of the tarantula
can hardly be classed as deadly, it is
always extremely painful, and has
probably IN some cases caused death.
The tarantula is remarkable both
for it's ferceness and its extraordin-
ary swiftness. By the use of eight
long and vigorous legs it flashes over
the ground, and as these legs are sharp
and prehensile, it can run up 9 per-
