The rarantuIa killing wa.p..

The tarantula killer is a bustling,
unquiet creature. When running on the
ground its wings vlbrate continuously.
When 1t sights its prey 1t dies in cir
cles around IL. The tarantula trem-
bles violently; now runs and hides;
now, rising rampant, shows signs of
fight. The watchful huntress finds a
favorable moment, darts upon its vic
tim with curved body and thrusts in
its sting If possible into the soft alb
domen. Often the spider is at once
paralyzed but second and even a
third wound is sometimes necessary.
The victor seizes its motionless prey
with It's jaws and drags it to hole
previously dug. She thrusts it in, de-
posts an egg upon 1t and covers it up.
In this case the bulk of the tarantula
insures sufficient food for the Off
spring, and one alone is provided, as
seems to be the case with the cicada
storing wasps. But the mud dauber
and her llk, which select smaller prey,
garner many, rarely sealing a cell ere
it is quite full.--H. c. McCook in Har-
per's Magazine.

The measures of Wilber'orce in the
British house of commons for the abol-
ishing of the British slave trade had a
hard struggle before they finally pre-
vailed. On Feb 10, 1905. Wilberforce
moved without entering into any az
gument'' for bill to abolish the slave
trade after limited time and for Il
committee to consider its propriety
He had been introducing such bill
almost every year for fifteen years, al
though his twelve resolutions against
the traffic were carried in 1879 without
a division. But year after year the bill
came to wreck, either in the house OF
lords or the commons, suffering defeat
in 1896 because several of its support
ers had gone to see new comic opera
1t was doomed to disaster again In
1905, but finally trlumphed in 1907.

Modern Cairo must be a,sort of gam
bler's paradise, judging from some
facts which / recently had from a
friend who has been investigating the
subject. In one of the principal streets
near MohSmmed Ali square gentle
man who knows the town well pointed
out over twenty first floors over the
shops with the names of bars upon
them, every one OF which he knew to
be n gambling hell, and police official
admitted to the Investigator that the
town was full of such places. The po-
lice do not seem to be mt fault They
raid the places from time to time, but
the offenders, nearly all foreigners and
mostly Greeks, are protected by their
consuls and let off lightly and return to
the business the next day. ! should
guess that the business is chiefly car
ried on for foreigners as well as by
them. There Is sort of cosmopolitan
Ism about gambling, and its votaries
are drawn from all corners of the
earth by the scent of the game. BIT
this seems to be one respect in which
Egypt has not improved under British
lntluence.-London Truth.

In copy of the Old Farmers Alma
nae, printed about 1900, we find the
following article on 'the prevention
and extinction Of fires." "Never read in
bed by candlelight, especially If your
bed be surrounded by curtains. Strictly
forbid the use Of cigars in your family
at all times, but especially after night.
There is good reason to suppose house
was lately set on fire by a half consum-
ed cigar, which a woman suddenly
threw away to prevent being detected
in the unhealthy and offensive practice
Of smoking"

How the Tibetans Dress.

Lay and cleric alike, the inhabitants
of Lassa are entirely similar to those
of the rest of Tibet There Is indeed
but one difference even in the dress.
In one province through which we
passed the women use turquoise
studded halo as headdress. In Lassa
q filet ornamented in the same way
is bound close down over their hair,
fluffed out on either side, and falls
down over the shoulders. 1t Is one of
the most becoming ways of doing the
hair that / have ever seen, and for a
certain type the entire dress of a wo-
man of Iassa would be becoming
costume for fancy dress ball at
home. The dress of the men and the
women is very similar There is sin
gle undergarment and one heavy ma
tive cloth robe, dun or crimson in color,
and usually patched, which both sexes
pull in around the waist with girdle,
the men pouchlng it at the waist to
form the only pocket that they USE

LIFE IN THE BALKANS.


Miss Edith Durham in her volume of

gion "One night man came to us

lage there were three traitors. Before
anything further could be done they

asked him he would write her some
thing that could be put in coffee. Then
the three gentlemen could be asked to
supper and their political differences
quietly arranged. Nor had he any
doubt that ! should fulfill this humble
request"
OF the dangers of smallpox and like
diseases Miss Durham says that the
Ba kan people show a childlike ig-
no"ance. She writes: AT one village

THE MUD DAUBER WASP.
She Entombs Living Spiders ns Food
For Her Young.


When summer warmth has awakened
the maternal instincts Of the insect
world the mud dauber wasp may be
seen gathering mortar at the margin OF
stream, pool or puddle. Filling her
mandibles. which serve as both spade
and hod. she bears the load of mud to
some rough surface, rock or wall or
board or beam. She spreads and shapes
her mortar until, after many visits to
the mud bed, she has built tubular
cell about an inch long and three
eighths of an inch wide.
Then her huntrcss instinct awakens
and her raids upon the spider realm be-
gin, for within this cylinder the moth
er mason will put single egg. In
course of time this will hatch into a
ravenous larva whose natural food Is
living spiders, and these the mother
proceeds to capture and entomb within
her mud daub nursery. On this errand
she may be seen hawking over and
near cobwebs of various sorts, ventur-
ing within the meshed and beaded
snares that prove fatal to most incom-
ers and sometimes even to herself. If
the occupant expectant Of prey, sallies
forth to seize the intruder, j. finds itself
a captive, not a captor. The wasp
shakes the silllen flament from wings
and feet, turns upon the spider, seizes
and stlngs it, bears it to her cell and
thrusts it therein.-H. C. McCook in
Harper's Magazine.

The title "Old Man Of the Mountain"
was first applied to l-assan Ben Sab
bal, who founded formidable dynas-
ty in Syria A. d. 1000. He was the
prince or chief of the sect of the Mo-
hammedans. Having been banished
from his country, he took up his abode
in Mount Lebanon, gathered around
him a band of followers, who soon be-
came the terror alike of Christians,
Jews and Turks. They paid the most
implicit obedience to his commands
and believed that if they sacrificed
their lives for his sake they would be
rewarded with the highest joys of
paradise. For 200 years these "Assas-
SINS" as they called themselves, con-
tinued to be the terror of the country.
Whenever their chief, the "Old Man
Of the Mountain" considered himself
injured he dispatched some of his as
sassins secretly to murder the aggres-
sor. This is the origin of our use of the
word assassin for a secret murderer.

Twin EnrthannlSes.

Earthquakes which consist of two
shocks separated by brief interval Of
quiet or of two maXlma of intensity
are known as twin earthquakes. In
Great Britain one in about every twen-
ty earthquakes is twin, and the stron-
gest shocks experienced in that coun-
try belong to this variety. 1t is be-
lieved that twin earthquakes are due
to impulses arising from two deached
foci, separated in different cases from
four to more than twenty miles, but
lying along the same fault in the
earth's crust.

expression of the eye. This organ,
which is surprisingly small in proper
tion to the size of the animal and set
far back in the head, is of pale blue
color much resembling that of wall

The oldest hook

Max Muller said that the Brahmans
In particular pride themselves on the
age of their Vcdas. which, according
to some critics, date from COCO b. c.;
according TO others, from 1900 or 1900
b. C. Even this more moderate date
is far beyond that of the Old Testa-
ment or any other sacred book, so that
to the Brahmans must be given the cred
it, if credit there be, of possessing the
oldest. the most remote and conse-
quently the most dinlcSt of the sacred
