While Backache in itself is not
a disease, it indicates a derange-
ment of the vital organs—it's a
symptom of, disease. Kidney
trouble, at any stage, is serious
and neglect of the symptom
means neglecting the disease.
Curing a. Backache means cur-
ing diseased Kidneys and reliev-
ing them of congestion. This
can be done in the early stages.
Buker’s Kidney Pills are specific
for the cure of Backache and
Kidney trouble, if taken in time.
It's a vegetable remedy. Drug-
gists sell them for 50 cents.

DR. SHEPAHD’S SANITARH’M
Oflers exceptional advantages to the invalid
as well as to those who would keep in health.
That the turkish bath is one of the most pow-
erlul remedies known to modern science,is ad-
mitted by many of the highest authorities in
England, Europe and America.
It's success in Rheumatism, and kindred
diseases, has been phenomenal. Malaria, or
any blood poison, quickly yields to its potent
influence. Neuralgia, or nerve pain. is immv
diately relieved under the influence of Hot
Air in the Turkish bath.
As a. Luxury..it surpasses all others, and as
8. Sanitary measure. a Turkish bath every
week is invaluable.
By consulting the resident physicianJEin-
struction will be given to patients or bothers
enabling them to secure the greatest amount
of advantage possible from each Bath.
A skilled Masseuse and Electrician is in dail
attendance in the ladies’ department. an
competent operators in Massage will be sen

THE TARANTULA KILLER.
A Giant Wasp that Stings the .Big Spider 1
to Death.
The tarantula is a.~ large burrowing
spider which dwells in a shaft-like hole
it sinks in the earth. Its appearance is
most repulsive, and inspires any one who
examines it with a feeling of profound
disgust. As it stands, it frequently
covers an area as large as the palm of a
man’s hand, and over its body and legs
there bristles a thick covering of red-
brown hair. It may be said that its
home is in many lands, but its greatest
. size is attained in tropical and semi-
tropical countries. ,In the south of Eu—
rope, along the Mediterranean coast,
it has been known for centuries as the
“mad spider,” because the symptoms
following its bite are similar to those of
hydrophobia. Then the peasantry, es-
pecially those of Sicily, regard it with
mingled feelings of hate and supersti-
tious dread.
Yet, notwithstanding all its. great
courage and pugnacity, there is one
enemy the sound of whose coming throws
it into paroxysms of fear. This enemy,
of which it has an instructive dread, is
a. large wasp, known as “the tarantula
killer.” It has a. bright blue body, nears
ly two inches long, and wings of a golden
hue. As it flies here and there in the
sunlight, glittering like a. flash of fire,
one moment resting;r on a. leaf, the next
on a granite boulder, it keeps up an in-
cessant 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 its intended victim. Gradually it
approaches nearer and nearer. At last,
when itis within a few inches, the tar-
antula. rises upon his hind legs and at-
tempts to grapple with his foe, but
without success. Like a flash the giant
wasp is on its back. The. deadly fangs
have been avoided. The next instant a.
fearful sting penetrates deep into the
spider’s body.
Its struggles almost cease. A sudden
paralysis creeps over it and it staggers,
helpless 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 a few in-
ches away, awaits the result; nor does it
have to wait long. A few seconds and
all sign of life has disappeared from the
tarantula; the once powerful legs curl
up beneath its body, and it rolls over
dead.
Then takes place one of the most
strange incidents which illustrate the
perfect adaptation to circumstances,
everywhere so remarkable in the econo
my of the insect world. The wasp seizes
hold of the now prostrate spider, and
with little apparent effort drags it to a
hole in the ground. Therein it com«
pletely buries it. with earth, after having
first deposited in its back an egg, which
in course of time changes into a grub,
and lives upon the carcass in which it
Was born. This grub in ashort time
becomes another tarantula. wasp, thus
adding one more to the ranks of the
enemy of the spider race.
The amount of slaughter which these
large wasps inflict upon the tarantulas is
almost incredible, and it is noticed that
those to which the greatest destruction
is due are the females. It can only be
realized when we know that though the
female deposits but one egg in each
spider, she has a large number to get rid
of, each one of which she provides with
a home, and its grub with future sus«
tenance at the expense of the life of a.
spider.
\Vild Horses of \Vyoming.
A gentleman from Wyoming tells me
there are at least 20,000 horses running
wild in that state and in Idaho and Ne-
vada, this winter, many of them without
a brand.
They have been turned out to take
care of themselves because there is no
sale for them at any price out there, and
they will not bring enough in the East-
ern States to cover the expense of trans-
portation.
The estimated cost of keeping horses
over winter, including,r forage and
attendance, is only two dollar a head,
but their owners will not even invest that
amount in them, for it would be money
wasted. They will not bring one dollara
head in the spring. ’
The legislature of Nevada has passed a.
law authorizing the shooting of stallions
running at large, which is considered
necessary to restrict the natural increase.
——Chicago Record. ~
Grocley’s Eccentricitics.
One of those men that; is everlastingly
noticing little things is authority for
this statement:
“You rarely find a city man accus—
tomed to solitude and leisure to be
eccentric.”
He might have gone further and add
that most eccentricities are assumed.
When Horace Greeley visited Chicago
some years ago he was shown into a
drawing room near the stage from which
he was to lecture, One of the commit-
teemen called for him rather unexpect-
edly, and found the philosopher of the
Tribune giving one leg of his trousers
that hitch for which it was noted, and
also observed that Mr: Greeley had
shoved his necktie out of place.
Pennsylvania Railroad Tries Electricity.
The action of the Pennsylvania Rail.
road in deciding to substitute electricity
for steam on its branch line between Bur-
lington and Mount Holly in New Jersey,
is only one indication of the change now
going on in the method of operating
railroads.
At least two railroads near Boston now
run by steam will soon be equipped with
electricity, and if the changes prove pro
fitable other lines will soon be operated
on the same plan. This is said to be the
purpose of the Pennsylvania. Railroad
also, the change projected on the New
Jersey branch line being in the nature of
an experiment. '
Proof Against Ordinary Disease.
“You’d better go away. \Ve’ve got the
measles here,” said the woman at the
kitchen door. '
“Madam,” replied the tramp, seating
himself on the step with great delibera-
tion, “the only disease I am afraid of is
appendicitis. I shall be obliged to ask
you madam,” he added, with dignity
“not to give me cherry pie.”—Chicago
Tribune. , .
“’Illie’s Reasoning Power.
“Isn’t it bettah,” said Wills Wishing-
ton to his father, _“to let anything alone
than to do it badly?”
“It certainly is,” was the reply. .

my own living.”-—\Vashingtbn Star. "‘ ‘
