The Dog SpfdaR.

The giant of the whole spider family Is the hound" or ''dog' spider of Mad agascar. Its body weighs almost 6 pound, and each of it's eight legs is longer and larger in diameter than the common cedar pencil. Each of it's mandibles is three-fourths of an inch in length and very strong. The dog spider does not spread a net and lie in wait for its prey, as do the gigantic bird spiders of Ceylon, but follows the trail" in exact imitation of a hound. It will follow a faint scent to and fro through the weeds and underbrush un- til the course is ascertained and then suddenly dart off in a bee line and quickly overtake the lizard, rat, mole or other animal of which 1t is in pur suit. It has been known to capture and kill lizards foot or more in length, and Professor Barnaby tells of one which bounced upon and killed a full grown rat. The dog spider is said to be the only variety among the larger species of spiders which is absolutely nonvenomous, there being no more dan ger in it's bite than there is in that of a squirrel or a rabbit.

Far Easier to Cure Catarrh Now
 Than at Any Other Season.
 Now is the time to use Hyomei, when the early summer days make it so easy to cure catarrhal troubles. The Hyomei treatment, breathed for few minutes three or four times a day in May or June, will do good twice as quickly as it did in January, and nearly everyone knows that used faithfully then, it completely rids the system of catarrh.
 The complete Hyomei outfit costs but one dollar, and consists of neat inhaler that can be carried in the purse or vest-pocket and will last 8 lifetime, medicine dropper, and a bottle. off Hyomei. Extra bottles of Hyomei can be procured, if desired, for fifty cents.
 Anders Jacobesn gives his personal guarantee with every Hyomei outfit they sell to refund the money if it does not give satisfaction. There is no risk whatever to the purchaser of Hyomei.
