No department of the national adj
ministration pays its way quite so
manfully as does the department of
agriculture. Congress has recognized
this fact in liberal appropriations. In
the bureau of forestry alole, accord
ing to Secretary Wilson's report.
these appropriations have permitted
in six years a sixteen-fold increase in
the working force and twelve-fold
increase in expenditures. Yet a single
discovery made by the bureau, and
now applied to the production of tur-
pentine. is effecting an annual saw
ing equal to the total expenditure of
the bureau for six years. The de-
partment is the farmers Aladdin's
lamp. Rub it and its genius produces
anything called for.-St. Paul Pioneer

SPIDERS BITES
NOT IN ANY WAY DANGEROUS.
Popular Idea of the Danger of Spider
Venom Not Borne Out by the Facts
Even The TarantuIa Does Little


Even The TarantuIa Does Little
Harm.
When in doubt charge it to spider.
That slight creature has been held re-
sponsibe for deaths and illnesses
wherewith she had nothing more to do
than the United States has to do with
brigandage in Morocco. Yet the fami-
liar newspaper announcement, KILLED
by a Spider" is before us again, and
we read how the suffering Mrs. Wilson
of Knoxville died In twenty-four hours
as a result of spider bite, her body
being swollen to twice its normal size
before she resigned consciousness. II
We are to believe the chronological au-
thorities in Washington, who are paid
by the government to know, we have
only one kind of spider that is really
poisonous enough to hurt, and that II
a little fellow, marked with red and
black, and not all black, as the Knox
vile alarmists declare. Until last year
traceable to spider bites in this coun-
try was one. Possibly 1t may now be
enlarged to two.
We cling to our uperstitions, and
that of the deadliness of spider venom
is one of them. A spider has enough
of this acrid chemical to kill fly,
when the web is not strong enough to
hold 1t, but the human subject has on
various occasions-sometimes without
knowing it-been subject to her sur
gerry without other result than an irri.
tation considerably less than is In
flicted by a mosquito. When death
results from so slight cause it does
not signify that the spider is danger
Gus. 1t means that the subject was in
SO perilous condition of health that
pin scratch would have served as well
to end life as the spiders trihing
wound has done. Not many years ago
the tarantula was regarded as sure
and sudden death. The southwestern
miner who turned in without his boots
and who found that half dozen of
these giant spiders had got into bed
before him made his will on becoming
cognizant of this fact. Now he merely
brushes them off, uses a little lam
guage and goes to sleep again. Even
the rattlesnake has his apologists.
And it is well to know these facts.
not merely because we permit some
useful animals to live who are doing
their share to rid us of insect pests,
but because we can amble about the
world with a freer mind than our
fathers could who suspected death in
every moving form to which they were
not accustomed. The spider has
killed, we will say, two out OF many
millions of human creatures that have
inhabited this country, and has de-
stroyed countless hosts of flies and
mosquitoes, bearers of germs. which.
but for her Interference, might have
poisoned 100, 1000 of us. Observe the
spider, then with equanimity. She will
not harm enough to hurt.-Broolilyn

An old yew tree stands in the
churchyard at Portugal, in Perth
shire, which De Candolle, nearly cen
fury ago proved to the satisfaction of
botanists to be twenty-five centuries
old, and another is still standing at
Hedsor. in Buclas, which is 3,240 years
old How de Candolle arrived at an
apparently correct estimate of the
enormous age of these living trees is a
simple thing, and the principle is
doubtless well known to-day to all. The
yew, like most other trees, adds one
line, about the tenth of an inch, to its
circumference each year. But the
Oldest living thing in the world to-day,
so far as known. is a cypress tree in
Chapultepec, Mexico. that is $3.50
years old.
