There are very many kinds OF

Also they bite, and if you listen to

whoppers or tarantulas don't bite as
bad as they used TO. It is true that
in those days the Italian violinists
had TO work overtime composing
tarantelles TO play for the bitten, but
stillthere were sneering slleptics that

Of the suffering man whom a malig

out looking for a job.
"Dufour had tarantula that was
quite tame and gentle. She took
flies from his fingers like a dear
thing. Almost any spider can be
taught 10 take food from forceps and
water from amel's hair brush.
They are great water drinkers, spid-

the little temperance bird we used to
read about, Water, cold water, is all
