THE TARANTULA HAWK.
Wasp That Terrffes the wicked
Female TarantuIa and
Eats Her Up.

Low down on the Rio Grande river"
said a man from Texas, where the
sands are heated almost red hot with
the sun, there grow the biggest cent?
pedes, the biggest rattiesnakes and big
geSt tarantulas in the world. If YOU
can look at one of these tarantulas when
he Is pinned fast to a board with the
naturaIst'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 interesting sub
Ject to study. They are horrible-look-
ing hairy things, with eight legs and
eight eyes. Their colors are dark
brown and black. The female tarEn-
tu1a is said to be a tickle spouse and
to have summary way, all her own,
of getting rid of her consort when she
is tired of him. She wooes and weds
all right, assumes the entire care and
support of the young 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 strong
er of the two; they are simply gigan-
tic spiders. / have seen those that
measured six inches between the
stretch of their legs. They are the ter
ror 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 man stands in dread
of her, and that is a big wasp that in
Texas is known by the name of the tar
antula hawk. The tarantula hawk has
an exceedingly bad opinion of the
tarantula. 1t Will fly around over the
of he fI1l1 t-a e.
ning-like dive down, get good clutch
of the monster spider, fly away home
with him, then all the tarantula hawk
family sit down to sup.
The tarantula hawk viii not hurt
men. On the contrary it is a blessing,
and you never hear of a western man
harming one of them. 1t 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 near
" died, and would certainly have died
mad it not been for the whisky flask
of his guide. In that country where
rattlesnakes, tarantulas and centipedes
are so big and plentiful, no rancher
leaves his house without his whisky
flask Shortly after the old professor
left that part of the country, the
rancher received a small box of these
tarantula hawks with instructions what
to do with them. He turned the big
wasps loose, they increased and multi
piled and now they are holding their
own against their enemy, the taran-
tula. N. Y. Sun.

narrow bands of black velvet and pearls
with necklace of pearls. The sleeves
are the same as in the other gown.
There are but two of the many lace
gowns that are now slowed away in
wardrobes waiting for the day for
which they were purchased, and before
the close of the season the lace gown
will have become a prominent feature
of the season.
You can find women here who will
declare that the princess gown will not
see the end of the season, and then you
can find others who will tell you that it
is here to stay, not alone for this season,
but for following ones. My own opin-
ion is that we will have the princess
with us throughout the summer, the
fall, and possibly the winter, at least,
but it will never be worn by anybody
and everybody. 1t is only the woman
with a perfect figure that can wear a
princess gown to advantage. In the
case of this particular style of gown it
takes perfect figure to show the gown
to advantage instead of the gown i'm
proving the figure. For this season it
is the woman who cannot wear
princess gown who declares they will
not be worn long, while the woman
with a good figure likes them and will
continue to wear them as long as pos
sible.
Another class of women who will not
believe in the possibilities of the
princess is the woman who has just re-
turned from London. While there are
many of this class of gowns in this
country and in Paris, they are practical
ly unknown in London, and the woman
who has been there for the London sea-
son is so infatuated with the place that
she believes in nothing that is not in
style there.
One sees many beautiful evening
wraps here just now, but the best ones
are still kept out of sight that they may
be new when the season is at its height
and there are more people here to adj
mire them. I saw one of this class a few
days ago made of accordion plated
turquoise-blue satin which falls from a
close-fitting satin yoke, the joining be-
ing concealed under a frill of blue chit
fon covered with white lace. At the
back the cape is sharply pointed and
rounds off toward the front. White
lace insertion decorates the yoke and
] there is n becoming arrangement of
lace over blue chiffon as lining to the
high collar. SARAH DAVIDSON.

Poughkeepsie; Yale and Harvard at
New London.
l am not predicting results. In the
New London match the betting favors
Yale; no one but college boys them
selves knows anything about the crews,
but Yale is the favorite on a record of
about 20 per cent. of past victories.
Harvard, too, has suffered grievously
from her way of selecting men for her
athletic crews by their social prestige
rather than their muscle.
To me the Wisconsin Grew is the most
interesting off the lot. These brawny
men from the west more nearly repre-
sent the old-fashioned college youth
than do the other crews. They are
more genuinely American. The dis
graceful alterations which have result
ed in Yale and Harvard withdrawing as
much as possible from other colleges in
athletic matters mean simply the
growth of social eXclusiveness where
of all places it is most absurd-in seats
Of learning. Yale has been in the past
much more democratic than Harvard,
yet the members of the graduating
class in Yale have spent during their
four years there an average of SIS, 600 per
man, or 5000 per year-a little less as
freshmen, little more as seniors.
The old days when a poor young man
could get through Harvard or Yale for
very little money, taking with him from
home part of his food and living for the
least cost of necessities, is a long way
past. College education is becoming
rich mans luxury. Among my own ac-
QuaintanceS, cultured men of modest
means. those who a quarter of a century
ago would have sent their sons to col
ege as a matter of course, are not do
ing it. 1t is not every American family
that can put four years time and 5000
In money into the education of each
boy.

Brass Band Killed Horse.

Music caused the death of beauti-
full three-year-old FLY at Florence,
Ala, the other day. \ farmer drove
the valuable young mare into town,
and as he was driving up the principal
street a brass band suddenly struck up
its blatant music. The mare had never
heard any sound like that before, and
so startled was she that she dropped
dead in the shafts of the trap. A vet
Urinary surgeon who examined the car
cass declared that the mare had died
of heart failure, due to excitement
caused by the sound of the unaccus-
toned music of a brass band.

even though it is the custom to go
easy" with millionaires. / believe the
tax list counts up several millions; it
might be made twice as big as it is, but
it is generally understood that a man
who buys 900 farm and puts about
$15o, 900 worth of buildings upon it gets
taxed on only $4,000 or 100000 of that
sum. The town gets a good deal more
money out of the place than it did, and
the taxes of poor men are lowered.
When Mrs. Mark Hopkins, afterward
Mrs. Searles, built her gloomy palace
in Great Darlington, Mass. the taxes of
her fellow-townsmen were cut down
nearly one-half by her single house.
Naturally the Barringtonians were
glad that she had come, and were not
averse to other summer people. Now
the town is full of them, though not to
the same extent that LenoX is.
So with Tarrytown, which has not
one, but hundred millionaires' pal
aces, from Jay Gould's castle to the
latest square stone structure. Land
reasonably we'll situated sells anywhere
from $1,000 to $1,000 per acre, and the
town till is full.
North Tarrytown lies out of the mil
honaires' section" or did. Farther
away from the stations and the city, it
retained until quite recently n rural
character, and the farmers had no help
in paying their taxes, which were con-
siderably higher than in Mount Pleas
ant, though less money was raised.
When the Rockefellers moved in the
town people were greatly pleased. The
H.
away for the world. 1t did try to make
the richest man in the world pay as
much In proportion upon his property
as otkers do, but if he objects the town
won't insist. That might be killing the
goose that is expected to lay few more
golden eggs.

SCHOOL AND CHURCH.

1t is estimated that there are $4,000
pupils in the agricultural schools of
the United States.
In the San Francisco schools Jap
anese children are not segregated on
the school rolls, but are classed as
whites.
The minister of education in Sa&ony.
has followed the example of Russia in
net allowing girls in school to wear
rorsets.
President Gilman, of Johns Hopkins
university, is said to be a member of
more boards and commissions than any
other man.
B. II. Duke, of Durham, n. C., has
given Trinity college of that place $780,
900, making a total of S1so,0O0 given to
the college by the Duke family during
the last year.
A school for nursemaids has been es-
tablished in Boston. They are instruct
ed in the care of children, and have to
prepare food and simple remedies for
the little ones.
All the Methodist shurches of New
Zealand have excluded fermented wine
from the communion service, but the
Primitive Methodists have gone far
Their and have made total abstinence a
| condition of church membership
According to DIR. H. X. Carroll, who
has been placed by the government in
charge of the census of religious bodies,
there are now 5,S0S, 1872 Methodists in
the United States. The net gain for 1898
| is put down at 90.31S.
The Karen tribe of Burmah has re-
nounced its savagery and accepted
Christianity without the drink habit.
1t is stated that every member of the
Christian community is an abstainer,
that being a condition of church MEM

church and school, and crime and

4 UniQue Duel.

A parallel to that famous duel fought
IN a darkened chamber, in which one OF
the combatants fires up the chimney
and unwittingly bags his opponent,
who had taken refuge in that undesir-
able retreat, is furnished in a duel
which was fought the other day at
Bonn, on the Rhine, between two foot
men. They quarreled in a beer house
and cards were exchanged and the
Esua1 forms were observed, friends of
both parties waiting on the other. The
weapons werc to be pistols. But Il Curl
Gus and altogether unusual condition
was proposed and agreed to. Both com
batants were to be blindfolded. Tho
duel took place as arranged, and it is
not surprising that three shots were
fired without result. After that honors
were declared satisfied. The persons
who ran the greatest risk in the affair
apparently were the seconds, but, ike
prudent men, they lay fat on the
ground, and the bullets xhizzed over
their PROSTATE forms.-Household
