The TarantuIn.

Tarantplas are plentiful in the rough broken country in the southern part of California. They are repulsiye looking creatures, with fat, hairy bodies, over plentiful w1ry legs and cruel poison mandibles. They stay in their bur- rows during the dry season, but as soon as the rains begin they sally forth. The tarantula constructs very skill ful burrow and nest in the ground. It has cover so nicely fitted that it can scarcely be detected from the surround ing soil. The cover opens and shuts upon a hinge, and on the inside arc holes, into which the occupant thrusts his mandibles and thus "holds his fort'' against intruders.

George ". from the time he was a young man constantly carried pocl- etbook, into which he thrust bank notes, letters, trinkets and keepsakes. AS soon as the pocketbook became full he used to put it away and substitute for it new one. This when filled was laid aside and replaced in like manner. When the king died it devolNed on the Duke of Wellington to examine the monarch's effects, and he discovered an entire chest of drawers filled with fat pocketbooks, which contained not less than $5O,OOO. r'~..

Another Mammoth Palace.

In order to provide for the best of the
overwhelming array of exhibitors who
wish to participate in the Lewis and
Clark Exposition, it has been necessary
to make readjustment of the exhibit
buildings and to provide for 10000
square feet of additional space. This
space will be added to the new exhibit
palace recently provided by the execu-
tive board, so that the building will
contain $4,000 feet of foor space, and
equal in size to the Agricultural Pal
ace, the largest building at the Exposi-
ton. With this additional space it will
be possible to provide for all exhibitors.
The new structure will be known as
the Palace Of Manufactures, Liberal
Arts, and Varied Industries. 1t will
be located near the Plaza of States,
due east of the Agricultural Palace.
The readjustment made necessary by
the overwhelming demand for exhibit
space will result in the Foreign Exhib-
its building being given over exclusive
ly to Oriental exhibitors, instead of
being used to house the displays from
all nations, as was originally the plan.
In this building will be the exhibits
from Siam, Corea, East Indies. Turkey,
Algeria, Persia, Egypt, Japan and
China. The building formerly designed
for Liberal Arts will be called the Euro.
peRn building, and will contain ex-
hibits from Great Britain, Germany,
France. Italy, Russia, Denmark,
Sweden, Austria, Switzerland, Hungary
and Belgium. The educational exhibit
will be located in the new Palace of
Manufactures, Liberal Arts and Varied
Industries.

Lincoln county citizens agreed to
raise 5000 if the county court would ap-
propriate $400 more for an exhibit at
the Lewis and Clark fair, but the court
made no appropriation, and it looks
now as if Lincoln county would be un-
represented, which will make its good
people ashamed when they visit the
fair.-Portland Journal

The project of camping ground to

Prohibition by Narrow Margin

Ashland went "dry" again at Tues,
days election, by margin of only
nine votes out of total of 723 cast on
the question OF licensing saloons dur
ing tie coming year. Last year the
margin was q, Il very small one. This.
year the margin is still smaller. It is
not only somewhat of q surprise to
many people, but it is disappoint-
ment to more-not that the majority is
on the side that it ls, but rather that it
is so small. 1t is safe to say that if the
administration is not more successful
during the coming year in enforcing
the local prohibition laws than it has
been the past year there will be
greater reaction, and many of those
who are still hopeful that "it will be
better next year." will lose faith in this
policy of municipal government No

An Acknowled edgment.

We have recently received most at
tractve and interesting Book of Refer
ence on firearms which embodies in de-
tail descriptions of all the famous
Stevens Rifles, Pistols, Shotguns and
Access sories. AS the advertisements OF
the j. Stevens Arms and Tool Co.,
Chicopee Falls, Mass, are constantly
appearing in our columns, we think it
would prove most beneficial to our
many readers to apply to this company
for the catalog in question.
This manual contains many valuable
hints about shooting in general, ammu-
milton, the proper care of firearms,
notes on sights, targets, etc. AS is
universally known, the Stevens output
is very popular and reliable, and con,
slsts of the most complete and varied
number of styles and models, represent,
ing the capacity of one manufacturer.
The commendable enterprise of the
Stevens Company is exemplified by the
handsome oolored cover design gracins
their l4O-page catalog; the spirited
hunting scene being a creation of th,
able brush of the famous artist, A. b
Frost Of New York City. We have beer
told that this excellent catalog and i'm
portant contribution to frearm litera
ture will be mailed to any applicant 70
