PEARLS OF THOUGHT.

A contented man is often only an
egotist. AVA
Dreaming is sweet; doing is harder,
but sweeter. 70
In searching for means to an end
we often forget the end.
Many a man is flattered who is not
worthy of being praised.
Those who weary in well-doing are
those who do the least Of it.
The man who is simply waiting to Go
something is not always waiting to do
anything very important.
1t is the most nicely balanced scales
which become most easily unbalanced.
And is it not so with men?
The path of duty may be narrow, but
it is not too narrow to allow us to walk
abreast of our fellow men who go that
way.
The present is ours, but while we
are deciding what to do with it the
future comes and snatches it away
from us.
Many man thinks he is martyr to
unpleasant duty when he is simply do
ing what he legally and morally is
obliged to do.
A mans instinct tells him the differ
ence between right and wrong. Thus
he judges the acts of others according
ly-and makes exceptions in his own
case.

NEMESIS OF THE TARANTULA,


A Tiny Insect Ia the Worst Enemy of til
Deadly Spider.
That deadly pest of the southwest,
the tarantula, whose bite is certain
death to both man and beast, has ut
last found its nemesis in the form of
a small wasp-llke insect that is found
quite numerously in some regions.
The discovery of a tarantula killer
will be interesting news to all resi-
dents of the southland. The wonder
full phenomena is no more than the
black wash with silvery wings, which
is common in this locality. Hence
forward he will be known as the tar
antula killer, and will be looked upon
| as a blessing to mankind by all who
are MORALLY afraid of the tarantuL.
The female wasp keeps close look
out for the tarantula, which keeps just
rs close lookout from fear for the
wasp. The latter lights quickly on the
tarantula, stings it once, which pro-
duces a drunken stupor. and then
drags the lifeless victim to a grave
previously prepared to receive him. 1t
must be remembered that the tarantu-
Ia is not vet dead, just dead drunk, but
he coils himself into kind of knot
and when safely deposited by the wasp
in desired location the victim is a
sorry appearing aspect.
Underneath the tranatula the wasp
digs another hole and in this she
makes herself at home until she has
laid her quota of eggs on the body Of
the tarantula. The warmth of the
tarantula's body is sufficient to hatch
the eggs and in due time the young
tarantula killers show themselves and
then begin to feast on the PROSTATE
body of Mr.. Tarantula. The remains
are sufficient 10 keep the young wasps
in food until they are large enough to
hustle for themselves. This state.

NO CHANCE IN WHEAT.

The position of the wheat markej
has shown no change during the pas;
fortnight, either in prices quoted OF
in governing conditions, says the
West Coast Trade this week. There
is moderate movement for milling
purposes, but no general buying and
selling, nor Immediate prospects OF
shaking business OUT Of its present
channel The nearest approach to al
export inquiry for Washington wheat
apparent is a moderate call from ia
amount in the near future. South AT
RIGA is making no inquiry for wheat
as YET, though there are some pros
poets Of a resumption in -four ship
meIts there shortly. So far as Europe
IS concerned, however, the position IS
purely a waiting one, with nothing
TO be expected untI growers and buy
ers can come together upon an eX-
pert basis OF values. Exporters Go
not anticipate that this condition viii
be possible for the next few weeks,
probably not before October l. BY that
time the immediate wants OF the mills
will have been supplied and al al
justment will follow, though the atti-
tUGe of holders under present prices
indicates that the bulk Of wheat will
be held for some time unless prices
fuctuate decisiyely up or down.
While there was a heavy rainfall
during the week no particular damage
to crops is reported and succeeding
fire weather has been favorable for
harvesting. Advance estimates
based on government crop returns
fer this state indicate a winter wheat
yield of 5.49S,710 bushels, compared
with 7923,696 bushels last year. The
spring wheat yield last year was
placed at 15,768, 491 bushels for this
state. but will fall considerably below
that figure the present season.
