Mars Considered as IN Asteroid.

The discovery last summer of re-
markable asteroid. since named Eros.
which periodically approaches the
earth nearer than any other heavenly
body except the moon, has led Ger
man astronomer. Herr j. Ranschinger,
to suggest that Mars itself should
henC.forth be regarded as an asteroid,
instead of as Il major planet. The COM
parative smallness of Mars mass and
the great eccentricity of its orbit are
adduced as reasons for considering it
as a member of the asteroid family. If
the asteroids once formed single
planet as some have supposed then pos
sibly Mars is simply the largest exist
ing fragment of the ancient planet.

II now take pleasure in notifying
you that my husband has entirely re-
covered from catarrh. He is a we'll
man to-day, thanks to you and Peruna.
He took six bottles of your medicine
as directed, and it proved to be just
the thing for him. His appetite is
good and every thing he eats seems to
agree with him. His cough has left
him and he is gaining in flesh, and
seems to be well every way. l hope
others will try your medicine and re-
ceive the benefits that we have" Mrs.

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 duel
which was fought the other day at
Bonn, on the Rhine, between two foot
men. They quarreled in 4 beer house
and cards were exchanged and the
usual forms were observed, friends of
both parties waiting on the other. The
weapons were to be pistols. But a curl
Gus and altogether unusual condition
was proposed and agreed to. Both COM
batants were to be blindfolded. The
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. like
prudent men. they lay fiat on the
ground, and the bullets whizzed over
their PROSTATE forms.-Household

THE TARANTULA HAWK.
a wasp That Terrifies-the Wicked
Female Tarantula and
Eats Her Up. sa

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 cent?
Pedes, the biggest rattlesnakes and big
gest tarantulas in the world. If you
can look at one of these tarantuIas when
he is pinned fast to board with the
naturaIsts 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 taran-
tula 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. 1 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 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
head of the tarantula make a light
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. s.fs(t }.L
The tarantula hawk will not hurt
men. On the contrary it is blessing,
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 naturalist, was stung by
one of these monster spiders and near
ly died, and would certainly have died
had 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 small box of these
tarantulahawks 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.

Lightning.

While it is the custom in our country
to eNtinguish the fires at the approach
of a tempest, the French peasants. on
similar occasions, kindle fires to pro-
duce as much smoke as possible, as they
believe that the smoke will protect
them against lightning. Hitherto this
has beenregarded as mere superstition;
but now German scientist has demon
strated that this custom had quite a
rational basis, because the smoke acts
as a good conductor, carrying much
electricity to the earth without injury
to the building He shows that among
LOGO cases there We're 6.3 churches and

INITIATIVE FILIPINOS.
The American Local Paper Says They
Exceed All other Peoples
In Imitation .-la

OF all the races peopling this mum
dane sphere not one has such an ex-
traordinary spirit of imitation as that
which inhabits the Philippine islands.
This race of people, of Malay origin,
which occupies all the archipelago of
the Celebas sea, lacks entirely the aes-
thetic taste necessary for the proper
combination of colors, constructive
ability, uniformity in architectural de-
signs, and the good taste which is re-
quired for the culture and advance
ment of people. They have no ideas
of this kind of their own, and in all mat
tiers OF taste do nothing more than what
they see in races of the west.
Anyone who has observed the Fill
pinos will have noticed that they have
no ideas at all in regard to the proper
combination of colors in their wearing
apparel, as, in spite of their dusky COM
pleXions, they select in their clothing
the colors which are least suitable to
them. You will see Indian girls and
half-breeds as brown as berries using
in their dresses and scarfs such colors
as blue, green, yellow, brown and black
A woman of dusky complexion with a
dress of any of these colors presents an
appearance that is hideous in the ex-
IRENE. 1t is not uncommon to see dark
skinned Indian girls dressed in such
bright greens that if they should en-
counter carabao they are liable to be
eaten by that festive animal on account
or their similarity to bunch of hay.
The reason why these people cut this
ridiculous figure is that they see these
bright colors on European women, and,
without thinking of the effect which on
account of their different complexion
such hues are liable to produce, readily
adopt them and consider themselves
the most elegant of the elegant.
No sooner does new fashion arrive
rom Paris, Vienna or Berlin in shoes,
trousers, hats, shirts or neckware, no
matter how extravagant. the Indian
and the half-breed Immediately adopt
them.
The American troops had been in Ma
Mia only few days with their brown
uits before the stores on the Escolta
were besieged by natives and half
breeds buying all the brown cloth OBJ
tainable, wool, cotton or silk, and in a
few days they were all arrayed in suits
of the same color as those worn by the
army of occupation. They noticed the
hats of straw or felt with blue polka
dot band, and in few days all the In
dams and half-breeds were wearing the
same kind of hats as the Americans.
/ believe that the Americans will have
but little trouble in introducing here
their usages, customs and language, as
to that end the spirit of imitation which
predominates in the native race will be
a powerful factor.-Manila Freedom.
