THE UGLY TARANTULA.
The Largest and Fiercest Insect
Known to Scientists.
A Frequene Visitor to Northern Points
Where Bananas Are Hand,ed--Appesr-
ance and Habits of the Fawn-
Colored Terror.

Spring brings renewed life and gayety
to the insect world Many insects
emerge for the first time from win
ter's seclusion, and all seem invigo-
rated.
The average insect sets a noble ex-
ample to man by his unceasing indus
try and cheerfulness. These qualities
are displayed more conspicuously by
the insects than by any other division
of the animal world. Consider, for in
stance, the cheerfulness of the grass
| hopper and his relatives, who sing
perpetually, and the industry of the
ant, who is always engaged in some
labor equaling for him the building of
the pyramids.
There are, however, some insects with
distinctly obnoxious traits, and among
these the tarantula, the largest of them
all, is preeminent. t.t,
The tarantula belongs to the spider
family, and the variety found in the
southern states is classified as hunt
ing or wolf spider. The tarantula is
the most combative and aggressive of
all insects. 9la aaGj
The American tarantula belongs to a
different family from that of southern
Europe. 1t is larger and its bite more
painful than that of the European in
sect. 1t can be relied upon to make any
man dance.
The tarantula is frequent visitor of
New York, says the World of that city,
although not native of these regions.
1t usually travels with a cargo of fruit
from the southern states, Central or
South America or the West Indies It
shows marked partiality for bananas
If you enter into conversation with
any Of the men engaged in unloading
fruit on the east or west side you will
hear stories of tarantulas and possibly
have an opportunity to see one.
The tarantula is giant spider, some
times measuring four inches in length.
1t is fawn-colored above, with white
sides, marked with whitish lines.
1t has four pairs of well-developed
legs, in addition to the mandibles, or
jaws, which contain the poison appa-

The shape of the yoke, and even simple
wash dresses can be made exceedingly

makes up very prettily, but is used only
for older girls A lovely gown for a
ten-year-old girl has high bodice with
an overhanging front and Marie An
toinette sleeves with epaulettes of en-
broidery forming bretelles, and tabs of
the embroidery showing above the high
collar A broad sash of ribbon, pale
green in color, was knotted and hung
in straight folds at the left side
Alpaca is as much worn by children
as il is by adults, and blue and white
checked pattern trimmed with white
embroidered batiste makes an effective
and inexpensive dress. This material
also makes up charmingly in the new
princess robe. This robe is made all in
one, being curved in to fit the form,
and fastens in the back. The skirt is
slit up at either side revealing panel
of accordion-plaited silk. The collar
and cuffs match the panel in color, and
bows of the same colored ribbon are on
the shoulders. The effect of this dress
is exceedingly smart, but should only
be worn by the slight, weil-proportioned
girl. y.4s.s tiisl.4El 81 uaJ
For dancing and party frocks prefer
ence is still given to chiffon silk tissue
and materials of that description,
though soft silks and satins are also
utilized. Strange as it may seem, the
combination preferred for these frocks
is black and green. For instance, a
dancing dress seen last week was black
chiffon made over slip of willow
green silk. The skirt was accordion
plated and had foliage pattern run
ming just above the hem, embroidered
in green and gold. The little waist
was plated, cut square in the neck and
finished with puff of green silk over
which fell full frill of handsome lace.
The same lace trimmed the sleeves,
which were short and caught up by
tiny bows of willow-green satin ribbon.
Patent leather ankle ties and black
silk stockings go with this charming

frock Pretty and unique as this was
gave the preference to an all white
dress made of dotted Swiss muslin over
sheerest white linen lawn. The short
full skirt was trimmed with three rows
OF Valenciennes insertion, and the waist
of the swiss was mounted in graduated
puffs over fitted lining of the lawn
which fastened in the back. Between
the puffs was narrow lace insertion
threaded with white baby ribbon and
studded at near intervals with little
bows of the ribbon. The accessories
were a white gauze fan, white satin
slippers and sillxen hose of purest white.
A pretty afternoon frock for girl of
ten is the model in the picture. 1t is of
blue-corded wash silk made perfectly
plain excepting only the ribbon bows
ornamenting the front. Across the
shoulders Is worn pointed collar of
Venetian lace in handsome design.
Girls of thirteen or whereabouts wear
costumes consisting of a skirt and coat
and fancy waist very similar to those
worn by matrous. For these stylish
costumes a variety of pretty summer
materials can be used. met maiden
the other day daintily clad in fawn-
colored cloth skirt and coat. The cuffs,
revers, pockets and turned-down collar
were trimmed with a narrow piping of
white. A frilled lace-trimmed skirt of
white worn with blue silk tie and one
of the fashionable white kid belts,
completed this attractive toilet Linen
duck and pique make a stylish two
piece costume, and when worn with
delicately-tinted Madras cloth skirt
the effect is really charming. l........
The best dresses of girls just in their
teens are, as a rule, miniature pictures
OF their mothers gowns. In fact, the
youthful maiden of to-day must have
just as nobby gowns as her fashionable
mother. She wears sleeves that stand
out, haring skirt and most elabo-
rately trimmed bodice, and manages,
withal, to look as pretty as picture.
The material used in her gown is just
exactly what her mother would buy
for her own wear.
A sweet girl just turned sixteen
counts among her proud possessions a
dress made like model 3. 1t is of pale
yellow mousseline de sole. mounted ON
a lining of yellow taffeta silk. The
front breadth is outlined with panels
of lace, which reach to the knee and
end under bows of yellow satin ribbon.
The yoke and collar are of yellow VAL
enciennes lace. while over the shoul-
ders are folded bands of ribbon tied in
outstanding loops and ends. This is a
pretty model for a dotted Swiss muslin
made over a cotton taffeta lining
trimmed with fine embroidery or lace
and bright-colored ribbon.

at home. 1t cannot be on the score Of
economy, for oftentimes these clothes
are sold much cheaper than the ma
terial alone could be purchased The
secret of it is, these readymade gar
ments are too elaborate and hard to
launder Most mothers prefer plain
clothes for morning wear, with little
more style and finish for afternoon and
'dress-up" occasions. .... ...
In the matter Of frocks for little girls.
: last stif6Mer's diversity in make and
material still obtains. Some of the
skirts for little tots barely escape the
ground, while others are qaite short,
showing the trim little feet in patent
leather ties and black stockings, or in
low tan shoes with hose to match. An
other pretty fashion, when these short
dresses are of sheer white, is to have
the slippers of white kid and white
silk hosiery, showing a neat clock in
colors.
Some women cling to the thin white
:. cambria and nainsook and delicately
g. tinted muslins for children's frocks,
while others have a fancy for the
or else showing pale blue or pale
pink ground, which material, by the
way, seems to have been made especial
iy for little folks wear. The style OF
these frocks is so simple and pretty
that the plainest cnild-if such there
be-cannot but look attractive if her
gown be properly fashioned and wora.
They are made mostly in the yoke-sli-'
fashion, with yoke either pointed OF
square, and full pulled sleeves. Some,
times the Jokes are made of lace over
a colored silk lining, but the ''all
white" yoke is considered as quite the
proper thing; and one dainty little
frock saw had the white lace yoke
laid in soft puffs held together by
beading through which was threaded
baby ribbon in pure white. An ideal
model for wash silk gown is repre-
sented in the picture. This particular
Crock is made of China silk in soft
tones of pink and creamy white. The
skirt is quite short, very full and

Another Fond Illusion Dispeued.

On the best of dental authority, says
the Illustrated American, we are told
that the pearly teeth of the white
muslined, blue-ribboned and golden
haired heroine of our youth are to be
shuddered at in place of filling us with
the rapturous admiration they once
did. They are as indicative of a scrof-
ulous and cancerous nature as the
hectic flush is of consumption. Teeth
to be admired from dental point of
view, and as indicators Of thoroughly
healthy system, should be decidedly
cream-white, without tinge of the
long-cherished pearly hue about them.

ratus. These are grooved, and the
poisonous secretion, which is similar in
composition to the venom of snakes, is
contained in gland at the base of the
mandibles 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, 1t is
always extremely painful, and has prob
ably in some cases caused death. Not
long ago West street longshoreman
was reported to have been killed by a
bite, but there were complicating cir
cumstances.
The tarantula is remarkable both for
it's ferceness and it's extraordinary
swiftness. By the use of eight long and
vigorous legs it flashes over the ground,
and as these legs are sharp and pre-
hensile it can run up a perpendicular
surface with great ease. No one need,
therefore, be surprised to see taran-
tula run up from the ground to his
chin.
The tarantula catches small birds,
mice and insects. 1t Us able to use its
poison with greater relative effect on
these than on man and other large ami
mails. Do not let the tarantula take
hold of your finger. ....l

AS much care and attention are given
TO the making Of children's clothes
nowadays as are bestowed upon the
garments of their elders, and some
firms employ high-priced men and
women who do nothing else but design
and make gowns for little people. The
display some Of these houses make in
this direction is perfectly bewildering
and one is led to wonder why women
do not buy readymade garments for
their children instead of making them

collar band is of pink silk. The
sleeves of China silk have deep puffs
of the pink falling to the elbow. Bows
OF pink ribbon, with loops and long
ends reaching to the bottom of the
skirt, are placed at each side of the
yoke in front, while a small bow of the
same finishes the collar band in the
back The little Gretchen bonnet is
made of white dotted muslin over a
pink, silken lining. The full pulled
front is filed in with double ruche of
lace and rosette of pink ribbon. The

terials much sought after for the tiny

beauty and daintiness nothing can ex-

seem to be in especial demand for this
purpose. They are invariably made
with pulled sleeves and full skirt

DID THEY COME FROM MARsq

WASHINGTON. May IS, 1Ss5-The ma
val photographic Office has been notified
of the discovery of a new form of ami
NAL life in the ocean which has hitherto
net been classified by naturalists, who
are unable from the description received
to say just what is the new bug, or fish,
or whatever it is. The report comes
from Captain H. A. Niejahr of the Ger
man steamer Heliios. He was cruising
in the South Atlantic between Cape Horn
and the Cape of Good Hope a little to
the west of Inaccessible and Tristan da
Cunaha Islands when the phenomenon
appeared. The entry ON his log is as
follows:-
"This afternoon my mate called my
attention to the looks of the water J
went on deck and saw several spots of
yellow and muddy looking water. We
steered for one of these spots and pass
ing through It observed that the water
had a reddish color called forth by
millions and millions of red ephemenon
worms. 1 caught some in a bucket
and found that their bodies were blad-
derry with long legs on one end. on the
other seemed to be the head. Set on a
dry spot they jumped very far"
Biologists in Washington presume the
German Captain refers to the. order of
on worms" but this order which in>
cludes the common day fly, does not fit
