The Tarantuia.Killing wasps.

The tarantula-killer is a busting, un-
quiet creature. When running on the
ground its wings vibrate continuously.
When 1t sights its prey it files in cir
cles around 1t. The tarantula trembles
violently; now runs and hides; now,
rising rampant, shows signs of fight.
The watchful huntress finds a favor
able moment, darts upon its victim
with curved body, and thrusts In its
sting, If possible, into the soft abdo-
men. Often the spider is at once par.
alyzed, but a second and even a third
wound is sometimes necessary. The
victor seizes its motionless prey with
its jaws and drags it TO hole previ-
ously dug. She thrusts 1t In, deposits
an egg upon 1t, and covers it up. In
this case the bulk OF the tarantula in
sures sufficient food for the offspring,
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 small prey, garner
many, rarely sealing cell ere 1t is

JUSTIFIABLE DISCRETION

Mr.. Timothy Woodruff says that in
a town up the State" there are two
lrlshmen who for some time have been
on bad terms with each other. Not
long ago Flaherty had, according to
the notions of his friends, been the
recipient of what could be deemed
nothing else than an insult from the
other lrishman. So they urged upon
him the deslrabillty of vindicating his
honor by promptly chastlsing his an
cient enemy.
But 1t would appear that Flaherty
was man of some prudence, for.
said he, 'he's more than me equal.
Look at the size of him! The mans a
giant"'

gusted by Flaherty's exhibition Of
weakness, "lave him go-that is, if

Another whistle from the clerk.
"On consulting Thompson's Concord
