Foiling the common Enemy.

The widow of an English army Off
Ger was visiting me with her son,
charming little fellow about five years
old. The mother told me with pride
how honorable he was, how high
minded, and that she had never for an
instant seen in him indications of any
traits that were low or base.
The child was put to bed every night
at 6. We dined at Z. was sitting in
the drawing room one evening before
dinner The room was dark, the doors
open, and my seat commanded view
of both the stairway and the dining
room. The table was set, and in the
center was dish Of tempting peaches.
Presently there came to my ears the
patter of little bare feet, and a child
fish figure clad in nightgown stole
down the stairs, through the hall, into
the dining room, up to the table. Small
fingers seized the topmost peach from
the dish, and the little fellow turned
and trotted away up stairs again.
AS sat in the dark in an agony Of
apprehension there came again the
patter, patter of little feet, and white
clad figure stole down the stairs,
through the hall, into the dining room,
up to the table. Small fingers replaced
the stolen peach just where it had
been, and stubborn little voice NUT

Poison Of the Centiped.

The centiped is popularity supposed
to carry a sting on each foot, but I
have several times handled them, after
their heads were removed, without the
claws producing any result. 1t is the
first pair Of claws only that are ven
omous, being hollow and provided with
poison bags like snakes fang. The
largest I ever saw was eleven inches
in length, grewsome creature. A bite
from one Of this size would most likely
have been fatal to a man in weak
health. ~ Isl
The tarantula, though his powers of
cffense are nothing like those Of the
scorpion or centiped, is, however, a
more unpopular character than either.
The horror Of these large spiders enter
tained by many people is curious and
understandable. Il have seen Australian
bushmen, who in everyday life scarce
~ seemed to understand danger, turn
white as sheet at the sight of a
small "triantelope," as they called it,
