TarantuIa Not So Bad.

The terrible tarantula is said to be
more abused than abusive. 1t is not
aggressive upon man nor is it often
intrusive even, although every old
miner and prospector has shaken one
out of his boots or blankets in the
morning, and always the size of a
saucer. 1t avoids the hot sunshine
and remains well down in its burrow
under the ground About shutdown it
salles forth and lies in waiting just
below the opening Of the burrow 1t
assumes this position whether il de-
sires food or wishes only to get bit
of fresh air. Ii does not travel about
in quest Of food, even when hungry,
but remains quietly in the attitude
described often for hours at a time.
At the near approach of a caterpillar,
grasshopper, beetle or almost any
creature Of like size, other than its
enemy the wasp. il rushes out and
seizes it, but rarely goes farther than
few inches from the opening. One
fair-sized insect week is sufficient
10 satisfy its hunger because of it's
inactive existence, while 1t can live
several months without food, even
when most active. provided it has
water. In autumn the spider closes
the entrance with a crudely-spun web.
II is then ready to pass the winter In
a semi-lethargic state. partaking of no
food In the spring 1t digs its way

stutflna for pillows.

Dried grass clippings, thoroughly
sun. dried in order to remove all pos
sible dampness, makes soft pillow.
Corn husks treated in a similar man
ner are splendid for porch pillows.
Milkweed pods also are used for this
purpose. Gather them when ready to
burst, remove the seeds and center
and put down into your pillow for soft
ness equal to those you purchase at
the store For hard. ornamental pill.
lows fill with cotton batting all the
slip will possibly hold. These you Gan
stand anywhere. Excelsior and news
papers torn in tiny strips also are good
and lighter in weight.

Almond lclnq.

4 delicious icing for fruit cake is
made Of almonds. This is a favorite
treatment of this cake in many Eng
lish families, but is little used in
America.
While the oil of almond may be
used to make the icing, it is much bet.
ter If made from the fresh nuts.
Blanch and pound in mortar to a
smooth paste one ounce Of sweet al
monds and few bitter ones. Add a
little rose water when the almonds be
gin TO look oily.
This can be mixed either with con.
fectioners sugar and white of egg, or
1t is even better when used with plain
boiled icing.
If you do not care for iced fruit
cake this almond mixture is very good
on the ordinary ice-cream cakes.
