 what Hazardous Occupation.


 A recent visitor to California stated that tarantula hunting provides quite a profitable occupation to numbers of men and boys there. During the tarantula season." said the narrator, "the hunters go forth equipped with tin cans and glass jars, with covers, pals of water and steel or wooden pincers.
 When the great spiders are not found running at large the hunters look about for promising holes in the ground, into which is poured quan. tity of cold water Now, tarantulas have a great aversion to water, and they rush out alarmed and furious, only to be bounced upon with pincers and dropped into the vessels designed for them.
 Next they are thrust into bath of gasoline or turpentine, which kills them. They are then prepared for pinning, and when mounted on cards in small boxes are offered to tour ists as curios at the price of a dollar or so each.
 Although the insect Is very venomous, the tarantula catchers are so expert and take such precautions that not one of them is known to have been bitten"

When the Disease Let Go.

An old man was just recovering from an operation, and as he lay re gaining consciousness he heard the doctor say to nurse, regarding some powders to be given him: If one every hour is too much give him a half one every half hour" The old gentleman raised himself up on his elbow and said:
 Say, doc, that reminds me of a man that had Newfoundland dog. His wife got so tired of having him (the dog, not the man) track up the floors and porches that finally she made her husband take the dog to town and sell him. That afternoon he returned radiant. We'll he said, I've sold him for s25!' Good cried his wife. I can get that hat now. But continued the man, I bought two puppies with the money"
 The doctor looked at the nurse and said:
 T think he'll recover"

A knotty legal question has come to the surface in Webster county. says the Morgantown Chronicle. One man stole another mans skunk. It was a wild animal which was priv, ileged to roam where it pleased, and it recognized no owner, lord or mas. ter. But in the course of it's peram. bulations it entered upon the land of a man named Ziccafoose, who set up . claim to the visitor because it was on his land, and when a predatory mountaineer came down like a wolf on the fold and carried away the dead carcass of the animal MT.

The styles offered for maiden wear are remarkable for taste. To be sure the season requires elegance, but this is obtainable by such restraining measures that the resultant effect is eminently desirable. In fact so gen. orally superior are misses things in point of reasonableness that many women of small stature buy their ready-made garments at the young peoples shops.
 The fancy bodices there shown are built with an eye to the human frame, and with their smallish sleeves, mod est garnishings and dainty models, the dressier ones make excellent odd waists for undersized shoppers.

 A long coat must be faultless in line, and since fur is so fashionable 1t must either be fur trimmed or set of with a smart set A number of the three-quarter coats, the best models of which hang with sack looseness. show deep collars and cuffs in skins of fairly inexpensive nature.
 Beaver is one of these, such a skin showing perhaps upon shaggy wool, while a long-haired fur. like fox, skunk or lynx. will be used upon a smooth cloth. The velvet and braid trimmed coats are usually in more fitted styles, for frequently the fur trimmed coat is fur lined, doubling of lock-squirrel. which is quite inex- pensiye, going with any skin out side
 Some very smart paletots were of English tweed in broad cheeks, grays. blues. browns and dull reds showing in these. with bold barrings of black and color The velvet trimmings may match the background Of cloth or the check line. and the buttons used are of bone and very large On plain cloth coats. clothcovered buttons are ssne.imes set in rim of gun metal

Tyranny of Clothes.

Place a man in a silk hat and frock coat, and transport him to a farmyard. Agricultural pursuits may be the one passion of his life, but clad in these garments he feels in such surroundings miserable, out of place, essentially urban. Clothe him, conversely, in flannels or knickers, and place him in a church, and it is utterly impossible for him to as- sume a fitting devotional frame of mind. Unlimited autocracy itself can not impose such tyrannies on the subject. Civilization Is the slave of its clothes-and there is no prospect of freedom.-London Daily Graphic.

Peculiar Marriage Ceremony.
 With the Jowrans of India marriage is an affair of much importance. Should the parents object to the lov. CTS advances. his friends rally, and abduct the girl. If the consent of the parents is obtained, three posts are planted. and between them the bride and bridegroom, with their intimate friends, assemble, and proceed to get intoxicated on a peculiar toddy. The young couple sit together, and receive frequent douches of turmeric oil. from gourds in. the hands of wedding guests. Presents of all kinds, to propitiate the demons, are showered upon the con. tracting parties, and the close of the feast finds the whole set in a state oi bacchanalian bliss.

SHE'S MY HONOLULU
LADY: SHE'S A DAISY"

The party of Honolulu ladies tour
ing California as guests OF the Il u /
e n, the leading newspaper OF
the Islands, arrived in Los Angeles
Yesterday morning and were enter
tanned by several of the leading la
dies OF that city. This is the party
OF which the Enterprise spoke few
days ago. at which time Il was stat
ca that the young ladies would spend
n few hours sightseeing in Riverside;
there has been no change in the pro-
gram and they will be here this
week. although the date OF their ar
rival has not as yet been definitely
set
These young ladies come OF the
best kanaka families and are said to
Re very beautiful. Probably the only
thing peculiarly Hawaiian about
them Will be their love wreaths..'
those delightful little hoops OF fiow-
crs which are presented to friends ON
their departure. This little custom
CT the natives has never been eradi-
Gated, even though the American has
changed the entire face OF nature In
the group of Islands.
After leaving Los Angeles the Ho-
nolulu ladies will visit San Diego
and from there will come direct to
Riverside. There has been no at
tempt to get up any entertainment
for them, but II would seem a hospl-
table thing to do to have party OF
Riverside ladies meet them at the
train and show them hearty greet
ing. These kanakas are inimitabiy
hospitable in their own country, and
some of the local people can testify
to this fact.
Many ladies OF Riverside have re-
quested information regarding the ar
rival OF the Honolulu ladies. but as
nothing definite has yet been settled
cbout the date. this paper is as much
in the dark as its readers. However,
the Santa Fe and Southern Pacific
have agreed to keep the public post
cd when they have any news OF them.
