MOST SAVAGE OF SPIDERS.7
The Tarantula Endowed with Enough
Courage to Attack Larger Enemies,


The tarantula is a large burrowing
spider which dwells in a shaft-like hole
it sinks in the earth. Its appearance is
most repulsiye, and inspires anyone
who examines it with a feeling of pro-
found disgust. AS it stands, it 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 reddish brown 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 Mediter-
ranean coast, it has been known for
centuries as the mad spider" because
the symptoms following its bite are
similar to those Of hydrophobia. There
the peasantry, especially those of Sicily
regard it with mingled feelings of hate
and superstitious dread They will tell
you that the only chance OF recovery
from its bite is for the patient to com
mencing dancing without delay, and
to continue until he falls senseless from
eXhaustiOn-a remedy which, ridiculous
as 1t seems, has something to be said
in its favor, when we know that the
one danger is to overcome the tendency
VI sIStl, says the chambers JOURNAL.
AS long as this can be successfully
avoided the patient is in no danger;
but If he gives way, and allows himself
TO fall into stupor, then he is likely
to succumb, even from the comparative
Is 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
1t is quite numerous, its poison is only
a slight degree less dangerous. There
we have met it everywhere and studied
its habits. In the orange orchards, the
vineyards and the open prairies we have
watched it attack enemies many times
its own size, and marveled at the ease
with which it overcame them. Even its
own kind are not exempt from its fierce
onslaught, and We remember once see
ing a pair of them meet on an upturned
root of a fig tree and fight a duel to
the death-the death of both. OF man
1t 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 mandibles
prOtrude in a straight line from the
face; then, with all the muscular force
it is capable of. launches itself forward,
sinking them with a vicious thrust deep
into the flesh of the enemy.

HEN RY CLAY.
Gen. Wade Hampton's Memory OF Him
Innocent Whist PLAYER

Gen. Wade Hamptons Memory OF Him
an Innocent Whist Player
"One OF my boyhood recollections.'
said Gen. Wade Hampton, refers 70
Henry Clay. He was frequent visitor
at my fathers house in South Carolina.
Both Clay and my father were ardent
whist players. and nothing was more
to their minds than the collection OF a
brace Of gentlemen equally addicted to
whist, and then the quartet would play
for hours. While the name of wi is.
may serve to imply a game where 81
!cnce reisned, my father and CLAY
didn't play whist that way They OK
ulted audibly over a success, and did
not hesitate when they were playing IS
partners to violently point out mis-
takes the other had made, and at
tributed defeat to the others ignorance
and utter lack of natural intelligence.
Indeed, on occasions particularly try
ing they were even known to apply hard
names TO one another. This they did IL
no slanderous spirit, but to brighten
up and sharpen the wits of the other
to the Improvement Of his play. AS they
were sitting down to a game as part
nerS one evening Clay remarked.
It's great outrage the way We talk
te each other, and my idea now, at The
outset, is for each Of US to put up $23
TO belong to the one who is first called
hard names by the other If You as
sail me the money is mine; If l forget
myself, YOU take it
My father readily agreed. He felt
IN mild, agreeable mood. He was
confident he would never again be a
prey TO the slightest impulse to speak
harshly to his dear friend Clay And
besides, it was his recollection that
Clay was the man who ragged and did
the loud talking. SO my father cheer
FULL placed the $50 on top of Clay's.
He thought it would be a good lesson
TO the blue grass orator to lose it. AS
they proceeded with the game Clay
made some excessively thick-headed
and ill-advised plays. He led the wrong
cards; he trumped the wrong tricks;
he did everything idiotic in whist that
he we'll could. Ny fathers blood be-
gan to boil As he and Clay lost game
after game his wrath ran higher and
higher. Still he bit his lip and suffered
In silence. 1t went on for hours. until
Clay made some play Of browning inn
becility, which lost him and my father
the eleventh game. Flesh and blood
could stand it 10 more. My father
sternly pushed the $40 over to Clay
Why, said Clay. opening his gray
eyes with a look of innocence and
amazement, why do you do that? You
haven't said a word
No, retorted my father, but I'm
going to tell you, sir, that you are the
most abject idiot the most boundless
imbecile that ever dealt q hand at
whist Yes, sir. l repeat it, you are the
- fool l ever met in my life"

Two brothers named Hawk, who lived
In shanty near Madison, Pa, with
two other men, went into a mine with
them last Saturday morning to work
The brothers did not come out in the
afternoon, and that night one of their
companions dreamed that they had been
killed. He descended into the mine Sun
day afternoon and found that his dream
was true. Under great pile of fallen
slate he found the brothers, one dead
and the other just expiring. The latter
died soon after being brought out. He
had been under the slate for nearly "A
hours.

4 Question of Collection.

The rhetoric of the Utah constitu-
tional convention is often amusing For
instance, one of the delegates got this
off the other day: There is an insur-
ance company doing business here that
has a building that cost more than
100000 and has that much more IN
assets. And there was a man in this
town who paid that company over
$1,000, who had been dead for more
tEan two years. and that man isn't
allie to collect the insurance" Then a
delegate. evidently an Episcopalian,
wgs so wicked as to respond cynicaIly:
Certainly not; how could a dead man
collect anything, unless it was the col
lCCt for the dead?"

APPLETON. Wis, .June The most
destructive fire that has visited Apple
ton for many months occurred last
night. About 5 o'clock while every
thing was running as usul at the
plant of the Wisconsin Malt and
Grain company, fire was discovered
in the big elevator. The whole fire
department Of the city was called out,
and but for an unfortunate bursting
of lead of hose at the start would
have eXtinguished it.
The elevator was burned to the
ground, but the malt houses. only
twenty feet away, protected by
favorable wind, were saved.

ONE noticeable evidence of the pro.
gress Of manufacturing incur city is,
that whereas several years ago farmer
wagons of foreign make were very
common on our streets, now, one IS
rarely seen. Very nearly all bear
the name of some local manufacturer.
This is as it should be. There are no
better wagons manufactured than in
Manltowoc and other things being
equal our home manufacturers should
have the preference. Indeed they are
securing it by giving better goods.

SHOCKING THE DOGS.
They Go: Dose of Electricity and
Didn't Seem to Like 1t.

4 pair Of dogs had a very unhappy
ten minutes in front Of Shepard x Co.'S,
on Westminster street, Providence, the
other afternoon. 1t was after o'clock
when the first dog came rambling along,
and a few minutes later the other dog
appeared. They promptly struck up a
friendship, and went on an investigat-
ing tour in Indian file. An innocent ap-
pearing trolley pole stands on the side
walk. and though it was raining, the
ground about the pole was dry when the
dogs showed up. The first dog moved
up to the pole and put his nose against
it. Then he let out a series of bowls
and yells, and proceeded to roll on the
ground, prefacing the proceeding by
kicking the second dog in the eye. The
latter animal seemed panied and sur
prised at this behavior, and he investi-
gated by putting the end of his nose
against the pole A number of people
hurried to the spot and listened to the
canine duet. while dog No. l continued
to roll around in wet places, and dog No.
, ran up and down with his nose against
che fagstones. Somebody said the dogs
had a pair of fits between them. but
he didn't explain how one dog could
catch a fit from the other. Still he ran
for a pail Of water. officer O'Brien came
along, saw the dry place about the pole,
and recognized that it was charged with
electricity. He said the dogs We're
shocked, and the man who saw the first
Of it thought that that described the
feelings of the second dog after the first
dog had found out what was in the
pole. While the dogs were cleaning off
the sidewalk with themselves, the off,
Ger guarded the pole and warned away
drivers of horses. He also notified the
Union Railroad Company, and when the
repair wagon came, it was found that
the insulation in the cap over the troll
ley was worn out. and the current had
escaped, charging the ground wires and
the pole. After this interesting fact was
communicated to the dogs they stopped
rolling around and ran away.
