GOLD FOR THE BLIND.
Each sIghtless Person In Nes York Re.

Each Sightless Person In New York Re.
 ceives $50.
 When the palms of almost l.5Oo blind men, women and children were crossed with $50 each yesterday they did not need eyes to see-and know it was in gold. two $2o pieces and one $10 piece. It was the annual tribute from the city in pity. for their misfortune, and at the same time had a practical side in that it aided in preventing the recipients from becoming public eharg- es. One would have thought the world had lost it's sight and doubled it's own vision to see roo blind persons feel their way to the office of Superinten- dent Blair of the Outdoor Poor at Twenty-sixth street and East river. They came from all directions and in many ways, those who were able walk ing al8re and those who were not, led by children, whose faces had grown patient under the weight ot sheir dread responsibility. And always and every where was the steady pat, pat, pat ot TOO canes on the sidewalk, those who were led taking the center of the wax, and those who were alone being guided just as surely by the curb. The only difference was that the blind attended by children gave a forward, sweeping motion to the canes, while those along the curb had cultivated an inward swing, so as to detect any post in the way of their ha'ting steps. But all were in utter darkness. Only the warmth on the lids of their sightless eyes told them the sun was shining on their upturned, expressionless faces City corporations must have souls after all, to have done such good deed as that of yesterday, and as this city has done for years in annually distributing S75,000 to tle blind It must have been soul that did not even forget the little detail of paying them ill gold, two $20 pieces and one S10 piece, so that they could know what they were, and need not be re- minded anew of misfortune ever present in their inner thoughts. Not satisfied with paying those who were able to make their way to the office, the weak and sick of the sightless were hunted up at their homes all over the city. And there must have been soul behind it when tue cooperation ordered that all be paid the fuii amount freely and without question, and on the same day-the only really pleasant day to them ip all tts 365.-New York Presa

The Taxan,gter a Success.

The statement is confidently made that the taxameter, or cab-fare indi' cator. will quickly be introduced ip all tue civilized cities of the world. II appears that in both Berlin and Lon- don, where the taxameter has been adopted, it has been as popular with the "eabby" as with the fare" The reason of this surprising fact is that this system of automatic fare indica. tion effectively and permanently in- creases the number of fares. Many persons object to ride in cabs because of the possibility of an altercation with the driver as to the amount of the fare when the trip is ended. All that is put at an end by the taxame- ter, which shows, in plain sight, the distance traversed and the fare to be paid. Consequently more persons are riding in cabs today than ever rode before, and the increase in the number of fares is looked upon as permanent The taxameter also enables the pro- orietor to control and check the daily ESSGipIS dAG GIlClGuNy O4 LlG RGl4Clc or the distance covered by it. More over. since the apparatus calculates the fare on the basis of the distance covered, the driver earns his money quicker according to the rate at which he drives, a system equally profitable and agreeable 10 both passenger and driver. It is said that the cab pro- prietor who has once introduced the fare indicator can and may no longer conduct his business without it. Tn Berlin, where the taxameter introduc- lion at first was strongly opposed by masters and men, $500 of the city's $500 first-class cabs are now fitted with tEeln. The cab pr0prietors pay s1.25 3 month for each instramant

TARANTULA HAWK.
A Wasp Ehat Kius and Eats the Female
 TarantuIa.

IaranbuIHs
 ftLow 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 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 a 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 legc and eight eyes. Their col- ors are dark brown and black. The female tarantula is said to be a fickle spouse and to have a 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 tue larger and the stronger of the two; they are sim ply gigantic for spiders. 1 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 big wasp that in Texas is known by the name of the tarantula hawk. The tarantula hawk has an exceedingly bad opinion of the tarantu1a. 1t will fly around over the head of the taran- tula, make lightning-like dive down, get good clutch of the monster spi- der, fly away home with him, then all the tarantula hawk family sit down to sup. The tarantula hawk will not hurt men. On the contrary, it is 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, tarantulas and centipedes are so big and so plentiful, no rancher 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- htructions 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.

H. Rider Haggard tells. in Long mans. little stc.y which he evidently considers mere dramatic, but which is so full of horror for any lover of ami mals that it can only cause condemna- tton of the brutal instinct of sport"
 Once, many years ago, I was riding in search of small game upon the veldt in the Transvaal, when a hare jumped up before me. Halting the horse, I shot at it from the saddle, and with the second barrel broke one of it's hind legs and injured the other. Springing from my horse, without reIoading the gun. I ran to catch it; but I saw with ehagrin that it would reach the hole for which it was heading before ] could oyertake it.
 Presently it came to the hole. but without bolting, sat quite still upon the hither side. Thinking that it was dy- ing, crept up cautiously and stretched out my hand to seize it. The next instant I received one of the sharpest shocks I ever experienced; for on the other side of the hole, within four feet of my face, like some child of evil magic, there rose up suddenly the larg- est cobra that I have ever seen.
 The reptile. which appeared to me to be about six feet long, stood upon his coiled tail, puaed out his horrible ane deadly hood, licked his tongue and spat at me.
 There was 10 reason why he should not have struck me a1so since for the moment I was too paralyzed to move Recovering myself, l sprang backward and began searching in my pocket for cartridge, when the great snake, with single swift movement, van- ished into the hole
 Now as the cobra had gone, thought I might as we'll secure the hare, which all this time, petrifed with terror, had been erouehing by the hole. So once again bent forward. It heard me, and tried 10 run away, put was evidently too weak.
 Then it looked, first back at me and next at the burrow down which the snake had vs iehed; and seeming fnal- ly to decide taa, the mercies of a cobra are greater than the mercies of man. t uttered a scream and followed the reptile into the hole.
 I stood by and listened. Presently from under the earth came the sound of rush and seuffie, followed by an- other pitiful scream. Then all was still.
