Bad management keeps more people
in poor circumstances than any other
one cause. To be successful one must
look ahead and plan ahead so that
when favorable opportunity presents
itself he is ready to take advantage
of it. A little forethought will also
save much expense ana valuable time
A prudent and careful man will keep
a bottle of Chamberlains Collie Cholera

the shiftless fellow will wait until
necessity compels it and then ruin his
best horse going for a doctor and have
a big doctor bill to pay, besides: one
pays out 25 cents, the other is out a
hundred dollars and then wonders why
his neighbor is getting richer while he

'arantuIas, and those great tropical
spiders which make business OF cap
turing birds, possess very little poi
son. The name ''tarantua" is applied
chiefly 10 the big spiders that build
tcuses with trap-doors that are set on
spring. so as TO close automatically.
Belonging TO the same group Of ami.
mails with the spiders are he scorpions,
which are likewise arachnids. At the
end of it's rail the scorpion has a horny
point which islcalled sting, ard this
sting, when il penetrates the skin, con-
veys poison through two oliticcs coa
nected with small gland that score Is
the venom. Frightful results have been
attributed in story to the poison OF he
scorpion, but the fact ms 10 be that
it is no more dangerous than that Of
the honey bee. This remark applies TO
the scorpions of the United States,
which in Arizona and elsewhere il, the
southwest are sufficiently numerous
and formidable. In tropical regions
however larger species of scorpions oc-
cur, and these. having poison glands
are more dangerous. Sometimes. as is
The case also with taraniulas, they are
brought 10 the northern states In
lunches of bananas, and arc apt under
such circumstances 10 create surprises.
But, though the sting of scorpion
causes much swelling aud pain. there
is no authentic case of death resulting
therefron.
Half dozen years ago DR.. Maus, L.
S. A. sent to the war department an
extended report on the subject OF the
scorpions Of Durango. Mexico. which
he described as so yirulent as 10 cause
very many deaths annually. Accord
ing to his account, the City council of
Durango made standing offer of as
centavos for every 100 scorpions. with
small advance on this price for females.
and from so o00 to 10000 dead ones were
delivered annually for the bounty.

tie tooth The gland is situated much
as in the rattlesnake, the poison sac
being attached TO the root of the fang
by small tube that conducts the
$enom down the hollow shaft.
Here. indeed, is one of the oldest
facts Of nature namely, the similarity
Of arrangement in snake and arachnid
ter the purpose Of injecting venom. 1t
is certain, however, that spiders do not
always use their poison in striking;
they do not need to employ ii in killing
insects ordinarily, and it would appear
nat the venom gland is under the con-
tlol of the animal With the rattle
snake or cobra il Is very different, the
poison being injected by the mere act
Of closing the jaws.
Some spiders are very much more
poisonous than others. For example,
there is the Lathrodectus, as it is
scientifically known. which is repre-
sented 10 nearly all parts of the world
by different species. 1t has been as
serted that its venom is the most pow
erful belonging to any animal in exist
cnce, judging from the effects produced
in some instances by the extremely
small quantity with which the creature
is armed For this kind of spider,
though scarcely bigger than an ordi-
mary pea. will commonly attack human
beings on sight. It's ferocity depends
to some extent upon the season of the
year, however. In autumn, after spin
ming her cocoon. the female broods over
