THE TARANTULA KILLER.
4 Giant Wasp That IL the Powerful
Spiders Mortal Foe

4 Giant Wasp That IL the Powerful
Spiders Mortal Foe.
The tarantuia killer has a bright blue
body nearly two inches long and wings
Of golden hue. AS it flies here and
there in the sunlight, glittering like a
fash Of fire, one moment resting on a
leaf, the next on a granite bowlder, it
keeps up an incessant buzzing, which
is caused by the vibration Of its wings.
No sooner does the tarantula hear this
than he trembles with fear, for well
he knows the fate in store for him
when once his mortal foe perceives his
whereabouts. This it soon does and
hastens to the attack.
At first it is content with flying in
circles over it's intended victim. Grad
ually it approaches nearer and nearer.
At last, when it is within a few inches,
the tarantula rises upon his hind legs
and attempts to grapple with his foe,
but without success. Like fash the
giant wasp Is on its back. The dead
~ fangs have been avoided. The next
instant fearful sting penetrates deep
into the spiders body. Its struggles
almost cease. A sudden paralysis
creeps over It, and it staggers, help
less, like a drunken man, first to one
side, then to the other.
These symptoms, however, are only
Of short duration. While they last the
wasp, but few inches away, awaits
the result. Nor does it have to wait
long. A few seconds and all sign Of
life has disappeared from the tarantu-
la. The once powerful legs curl up
beneath the body, and it rolls over
dead.-Chambers' Journal.

The Monkey and the Looking Glass.
A monkey In a wood somehow got q
looking glass and went about showing
it to the animals around him. The bear
looked into it and said he was very
sorry he had such an ugly face; the
wolf said he would fain have the face
Of the stag, with it's beautiful horns.
So every beast felt sad that 1t had not
the face Of some other in the wood.
The monkey then took it to an owl that
had witnessed the whole scene. NO."

others, knowledge is but source Of

beasts and broke the glass to pieces,

THE MILK OF THE AGED.

Honey In the Olden Days Was
Thought to Prolong Life.
Honey has been known from the
earliest times. The Scriptures make
mention Of it, and pagan writer's cele-
brated its virtues. 1t was called 1.-The
milk of the aged" and was thought to
prolong life. Honey was also used in
the embalming Of the body after death.
This food, as useful as it Is delicious,
was esteemed most highly by the
Greeks, who celebrated its virtues
alike in prose and verse, so that the
fame of Attic honey has been trans
mitted unimpaired to our own day.
Used in all kinds Of pastry, cake and
ragouts, 1t was also esteemed as
sauce. Pythagoras in the latter part
Of his life was a vegetarian and lived
wholly ON bread and honey, a diet
which he recommended to his disciples.
And this gentle philosopher reached
the ripe age Of ninety years before he
departed from life.
The true source from which honey
is derived was only discovered In later
years. Virgil supposed that its de-
licious sweetness fell from heaven up
on flowers In the shape Of gentle, in
visible dew, belief which he shared
with Pliny and ever Galen. It was
left to modern observers to study with
enthusiasm plant life and bee life and
learn from them some Of the most Won
derful Lessons Of nature.
Honey was often served by the an
clients at the beginning Of banquet In
order that the uncloyed palate might
enjoy to the full its exquisite flavor.

SHOCKING WHEAT.
a Plan For setting IN shock Nos,
Satisfactorily.

Plan For setting ID "a shock Most
Satisfactorily.
Most people are probably familiar in
general way with the principles and
methods used in wheat shocking. Yet
there are details the conformation 20
or neglect OF which makes all the diff
ference between first class job and a
poor one. I wish TO show here some OF
the details which make for convenience
and excellence in the work. says a Ru-
raj New Yorker writer.
l find the following plan Of setting up
shock most satisfactory Set down
four bundles in row and follow with
one ia the middle on each side. Now
place bundle in each OF the four va
cant places AMI put on two caps For
caps select bundles with long straw
above the bands. They will cover the
shock better ana will not fail of so
easily. Place the heads Of the caps in
the direction from which the strongest
winds blow. IL the heads face the
wind the caps will not blow Off as
readily as they viii If the butts face il.
General SuEEestions
Here are few general suggestions
IT the shock has been set up as here di-
rected it Will contain twelve bundles
Experience teaches that this is very
nearly the right number Some little
gariation. Of course. is allowable But
II a shock IS much smaller il lacks sta
biiity, and the same is true il the shock
Is much larger. especially il the wheat
IS dead ripe. When the wheat is dead
ripe the heads stand out. and. especial
ly Ia large shock. the bund.e s are liza
bic to fail down II the beads stand
out il Is good plan to hug the shock
tightly before Gaping. In large
shock slightly green wheat is apt TO
mold. When starting a shock II con
genient start il in the middae OF the
bunch OF bundles. This will save the
time and labor involved In carrying
bundles around the shock.

Plaques of Plaster Paris.

the lines carefully, and lay it face
downward upon a plate OF platter the
center Of which suits the size of the
picture. Mix a little plaster of paris
with cold water to the consistency oil
cake dough, stirring constantly until
all Jumps are reduced. Then place
carefully upon the picture, smoothly
filing the center of the dish, but not
d~isplacing the picture. In twenty min
utes the plaster will become hard
enough to be readily removed, as one
would remove a pie from ii plate.
Make little holes with a penknlIe
where ribbons should be run through
to hang the plaque. Choose ribbon 10
harmonic with the color in the pc
ture and run through the holes, letting
bows OF rosettes appear on the race
of the plaque. Tinted plaques may
be made by using one-third alabastlhe
of the desired color with two-thirds OIL
the plaster, mixing them Thoroughly
before wetting. This requires several
hours for drying, but comes out al
right.

hope he replied almost gayly, for
that purple greed of gold was always

the endless stretches of g~listening
