Kitty Enticed the Mice.

From the Weekly Telegraph: One of our Birmingham readers sends Us an account of cat that lived in an outhouse and was seen one day to take a small portion of her dinner and place it deliberately in front of a mouse hole in a corner. She then re- tired to a distance and set herself to watch. Not many minutes after q fine, plump mouse came out, gave one look around. and, seeing nothing suspi- cious, commenced to eat the food. While the mouse was thus pleasantly engaged pussy made the fatal spring and captured her incautious prey.

TARANTULA HAWK.
A Wasp That Kills and Eats the Female
 TarnntnIa.

Low down on the Rio Grande river" said man from Texas, where the sands are heated almost red hot with the sun. there grow the biggest centipedes, the biggest rattlesnakes and biggest tarantulas in the world. If you can look at one of these taran- tulas when he is pinned fast to board with the naturalist's thin steel pin, and you are sure that he is good and dead and can not spring at you and shoot his poison into you, he forms an in- teresting subject to study. They are horrible-looking, hairy things, with eight legs and eight eyes, Their col ors are dark brown and black. The female tarantula is said to be a tickle spouse and to have summary way, all her own. of getting rid of her con- sort when she is tired of him. She Woos and weds all right, assumes the entire care and support of the family. The first matrimonial jar she has she turns to and kills her husband. Not content with killing him, she eats him. The female is the larger and the stronger of the two; they are sim ply gigantic for spiders. I have seen those that measured six inches be- tween the stretch of their legs. They are the terror of man and beast. But there is one little animal of the insect family that wicked Mrs Tarantula stands in as much dread of as a man stands in dread of her, and that is a big wasp that in Texas is known by the name of the tarantula hawk. The tarantula hawk has an exceedingly bad opinion of the tarantuIa. It will fly around over the head of the taran- tula, make lightning dive down, get a good clutch of the monster spi- der, fly away home with him, then all the tafantula hawk family sit down to sup. The tarantula hawk will not hurt men. On the contrary, it is a blessing. and you never hear of a western man harming one of them It is said that these Rio Grande cattle rangers are indebted for the tarantula hawk to an old New England professor, who, while down in that country in pursuit of his studies as a naturalist, was stung by one of these monster spiders and nearly died, and would certainly have died had it not been for the whis- ky flask of his guide. In that country where rattlesnakes. tarantuIas and eentipedes are so big and so plentiful, no raneher leaves his house without his whisky flask Shortly after the old professor lett that part of the country the rancher received small box of these tarantula hawks with in- struetions what to do with them. He turned the big wasps loose, they in- creased and multiplied, and now they are holding their own against their enemy, the tarantula. New York Sun.

4 Paying Business.

San Francisco Bulletin: There is no singer in the world wlaO can draw more than $12,000 house. There is no ora tor who can much raise the $1 admis- sion fee without exposing himself to the danger of speaking to empty benches If the four most popular de- baters selected by popular vote would advertise discussion on any question of the day they would be fortunate if an audience could be gathered which would net each $1,000. Yet it is stated that there was $8O,o0O in the box office of the Coney Island Clubhouse on the night when Robert Fitzsimmons and James Jeffries met to see which could punch the other harder. and which could stand the most punishment. The best of any class of performers always represents a money value, but the best fighter carries off the largest prize.

china.s rsnne-Li-Yarner. er.

Leslie's Weekly. Interest has been manifested in the statement aat the Chinese minister at Washington, Wou Ting Fang, will probably be recalled to China to join the Tsung I amen. Newspaper readers are often unable to understand the meaning of the Tsung- Li-Yamen in China The members of this body apparently have much to do with the government, and is often re- ferred to in connection with Chinese complications The Tsung-Li-Yamen is body analogous to the presidents cabinet, deriving it's powers from the emperor and subjected to his whims and notions. If the members blunder they may be deprived of rank, banished or deeapitated, and in this respect, of course. the analogy ceases.

Good Plain commnn ssnsa.

From the Indianapolis Journal: Watts-It seems to be human nature for man to get more satisfaction out of winning dollar than from earning five by honest labor. Potts-It is not human nature at all; it is just the op- posite-common sense. The man who wins dollar is dollar ahead, and the man who earns five by honest la- Dor is loser about $5 worth of work.

Gardening UnheaItny.

Gardening is generally considered one of the healthiest of occupations hut the German Gardeners Association has issued a warning to those who in tend entering the industry. They cite the fact that during the years 1889 to 1897 of the 291 members of the assa- citation who died in Germany no fewer than 142 succumbed to consumptior and other affections of the lrrgs.

Army and Navy Notes.

Three of the largest shops connected with the Armstrong-W -Whitworth ordi- nance works at Newcastle-on-Tyns were destroyed by fire June II. Ths damage is estimated at $1000, ,0O0
 A cable received from the war de- partmeat gives information that the imperial military maneuyers will take place at Berlin in September. The Am i erican military attaehe has been in- yited, as usual, to attend, and permis- sion is readily obtainable for other of ficers who may wish to watch the evo- lutions as spectators. Invitations are given only on the emperor's personal initiative.
 MT. Wyndham, replying to Col. Long with respect to the progress made in strengthening the British army, statei that the ultimate establishment aimed at was: Cavalry of the line, 18.559; horse and field artillery, 21,144; gar rison artillery, 22,717; foot guards, 8,725; infantry of the line, 148,272 The cavalry was 822 below the establish ment on March 3f, 1898, and 501 in 1899; the horse and field artillery, 2,8O5 in 1898 and 2,085 in 1899; the garrison artillery 3,293 in 1898 and 2,138 in 1899; the foot guards, 1,948 in 1898 and 1,274 in 1899, and the infantry 12,421 in 1898 and 9.135 iu 1899
 Bank Notes of Ancient Times.
 Among the prc acts of civilization which were familiar to the Chinese many centuries before they came into use in Eur@9e may be ekoned bank notes. There is at this moment in the possession of the Bank of England a specimen supposed to be one Of the oldest extant, dating from the four teenth century of our era. It is now proved, however, that paper money was issued in China as early as S07 A. D. uese securities closely resem- bled the famous French assignats in being based upon the estates of the kingdom. The Bank of Stockholm claims to have been the first western institution to adopt a paper currency, but the Bank of England must have followed very close with it's f20 notes, which were lssued in 1896.
