MOST SAVAGE OF SPIDERS.
The Tarantula, Endowed with Enough
Courage" to Attack Larger Enemies.
The tarantula is a large burrowing
spider which dwells in a. shaftlike hole
it"sinks in the earth. Its appearance is
most repulsive, and inspires anyone
who examines it with a. feeling of pro-
found disg'ust, As it stands, it fre-
quently covers an area. as large as the
palm of a. man’s hand, and over its body
and legs there bristles a. thick coveriflg
of red-brown hair. It may be said that
its home is in many lands, but its great-
est 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 hydrophobic. There the peasantry,
especially those of Sicily, regard it
with mingled feelings of hate and su-
perstitious dread. They will tell you
that the only chance of recovery from
its bite is for the patient to commence
dancing without delay and to continue
until he falls senseless from exhaustion
—-a. remedy which, ridiculous as it
seems, has something to be said in its
favor, when we know that the one
danger to overcome is the tendency ,to
sleep, says Oh ambers’Journal. As long as
this can be successfully avoided the pa-
tient is in no danger; but if he give way
and allows himself to fall into a. stupor,
then he is likely to succumb, even from
the comparatively mild poison of the
European variety.
It is in the tropical countries of
South America, however, where all
forms of insect and vegetable life at~
tain their highest development, that
this great spider is most, deadly. And '
further north, in the provinces of Mex-
ico, where it is quite as numerous,
its poison is only a slight degree less
dangerous. There we have met it
everywhere and studied its habits. In
the orange orchards, the vineyards and
the open prairies we have watched it
attack enemies many times its own
‘size, and marveled at the ease with
which it overcame them. Even its own
kind are not exempt from its fierce on-
slaught, and we remember once seeing
a. pair of them meet on the upturned
root of a. fig tree and fight a duel to the
death—the death of both. 0f man it
seems to have no fear whatever, and
will attack without hesitation either his
hand or his foot, if they come within
striking distance. In doing so it stands
upon its four hind legs. It opens wide
its enormous fangs until the mandibles
~protrude in a straight line from its face;
then, with all the muscular force it is
capable of, launches itself forward,
sinking them with a. vicious thrust
deep into the flesh of the enemy.
THE COLONEL AND THE SNAKE.
—_._.,._.
Shocking Outcome of the Professor's Ex-
periment in Natural History.
A well-known professor of natural
history and an amateur taxidermist, re-
siding in a. northern suburb of Chicago,
was in the city to look at some South
American snakes procured for him by
a. local dealer in foreign animals. The
reptiles, says the Times-Herald, were
all that the professor desired. The
purchase was made, the snakes were
chloroformed and the professor placed
them in a blue cloth bag he had car-
ried with him for the purpose. He then
went to the northwestern depot, took a.
seat in the smoker, placed the bag be-
side him on the seat and proceeded to
enjoy a cigar and the afternoon paper.
On the same train a. quartette of Chica-
go busincss‘ men usually meet for a.
quiet rubber on their way to their sub-
urban homes. They happened to have
their seats on the other side of the aisle
from the professor. On the opposite
side facing the professor, one of the
players called the colonel had his seat.
The colonel is known for his weakness
for Kentucky juice and carried his us-
ual allowance on this occasion. The
play started and so did the train. All
of a sudden, as the colonel arranged
his cards, he happened to look over to
the professor’s seat; he was observed to
start, and was evidently disturbed
about something. This was repeated
several times during the journey, and
the colonel was playing in bad luck
and had to stand the joking of his fel-
low players. _
Three of the players had now reached
their stations and said good-by to the
colonel, who had a. little further to
travel. Suddenly a. peculiar hiss was
heard. The professor started up, looked
at his bag for a. second and then with
practiced hand caught the head of a.
snake protruding from a. bag. ' ,,
The colonel had been an interested
Witness of the incident, and a. feeling
of relief seemed to pass over his face.
Turning to the professor he said: "So
it is real live snakes. Good God, ‘ I
thought surely I had them; why in
thunder do you carry such beastly ver-
min around with you?” The professor
explained the reason and that probably
one ofthe snakes had not been sufli-
ciently chloroformed.
The colonel has had to stand a. good
deal of joking since then and has been
inviting his friends to his favorite dis-
pensary.
Naming Children in Germany.
In some provinces of the German
empire there is an 201d decree in force
forbidding the giving of names not
,_found in the calendar of saints or
taken from ancient history. An Eng-
lish gentleman writes to the London
News, Saying that while in Germany he
wished to have his son baptized Fran-
cis, but was prevented 'by the authori-
ties from doing so on the' above-named
grounds. He explained that Francis is
short for Franciskus, which is , in the
German calendar, and that Sir Francis
Drake and Francis Bacon might be re-
garded as belonging to ancient history.
But no attention was paid to this plea.
He finally appealed to the courts, but
the case was decided against him, and
he will have to pay a fine or be sent to
prison. ' . -
SELLS SLAVE - GIRLS.
How the Queen' of Cores Sustains' Her
Royal Purse. .
There are slave. girls innumerable
around the royal palaces of the hermit
kingdom of Cores, says the Philadel-
phia Press. It is difficult to find out
how many there are. One official will
say hundreds, another thOusands. A
consul who has had opportunity to learn
the facts in the case,‘ says there are
about: fifteen hundred. ‘
It is equally difficult to learn where
they come from. Their‘ appearance
shows that they are not from any one
stock. Some are Coreans and some are
Tonghaks, from Guing-Shang-Do, in
the south of .the kingdom; some show
Japanese blood, others Chinese and
still others Manchurian. They are of
all sorts and types. All speak Corean
and nearly all have a smattering of
Chinese. They are all well brought up
and quiet, polite and industrious. They
begin their career as domestic servants
when mere children and are seldom
found in the royal establishment after
they are twenty-five years old. A few
who are unusually good-looking be-
come royal concubines and a. large
number are taken for the same purpose
by the princes and lords of the realm,
and, it is said, for a. very large price.
The rest are sold as commodities to the
highest bidder and the proceeds paid
into the royal treasury.
The latest available blue book of
Cores—1884—in summarizing the royal
income, includes these articles:
“N inety-one thousand nine hundred
and seventeen stone of best rice.
"‘Forty-one thousand four hundred
and eighty-four stone of beans. _
“One hundred and seventy-two thou,-
sand seven hundred and thirteen nyang
in money.
“Twenty-four thousand nyang from
sale of slave girls.”
A nyang is a. string of one hundred
copper coins, whose value in American
money ranges from five hundred to one
thousand to the dollar. The market
value of a. girl in Cores, varies from ten
to forty dollars. Upon these figures
the monarch must raise and sell in the
public market every year from thirty
to four hundred and eighty young
women. The general average would
be about two hundred per year. The
custom is not so bad as it seems at first
sight. The majority are purchased by
men for their wives, and a. small mi~
’nority for immoral purposes.
This trade in human beings is con-
sidered perfectly legitimate and has
come down from time immemorial. It
is not confined to the royal palace but
is practiced to a. certain extent all over
Cocrea. The custom is followed like-
wise in China. and seems to character-.
ize nearly every Mongolian race.

HIGH EXPLOSIVES.
Each Great Nation Has One and Experi-
_ ments with It secretly.
Every great power has its own special
high explosive with which its shells are
filled. All the high power explosives,
however, are in a more or less experi-
mental stage, and wet gun cotton is
the material upon which most reliance
is placed, says the New York World.
There is no doubt of the efficacy of
the tremendously powerful explosives
which have recently been invented, so
long as they can be exploded among
the enemy. When subjected to ‘the
enormous impact which is necessary to
obtain the required velocity of two
thousand feet per second, or there-
abouts, they are almost as likely to ex-
plode before leaving the gun as after-
ward. If this difiiculty is overcome the
next question is to prevent the shell,
from exploding before penetrating the
object which it is fired.
The French pin their faith to melin-
ite, which has been very thoroughly
tested. Shells filled with this composi-
tion have been fired through ten inches
of armor without exploding. The shells
in this instance left the gun’s muzzle
with a velocity of two thousand feet
per second. The English are doubtful
of the safety of melinite and use a. com-
position called lyddite. It gets its name
from Lydde, in Wales, where it is man-
ufactured. The lyddite shells have
been successfully fired through five
inches of armor.
Ecrasite is used by Austria. Its com-
position ie a. secret known only to the
two inventors, who are Austrians. This
explosive has been found to have es-
pecial destructive power when used-
against earthworks.
Sweden has decided upon the inven-
tion of a. Swede, which is called bellite.
While it has not as much explosive
force as many of the other composi-
tions, yet it is claimed to be more stable.
Its powers of preservation are also
much greater. The 'United States has
been'making exhaustive trials of a gun
cotton known as emmenrite.
guns of the Vesuvius were designed for
discharging cmmenrite shells, but they
did not prove satisfactory. Recently
emmcnrite has been successfully fired
from a. high-power gun with a velocity
of over two thousand feet.
, The Japs as Jokers.
The Japanese are a very polite peo-
ple, but they sometimes like to play a.
joke, in a. roundabout oriental way,
upon the men of the west. In the days
' of the Second empire, Baron Gros was
sent to Japan to‘ demand the opening
of certain ports to French commerce.
Among the rest he named to the J ap-
anese ministers a certain city. The
Japanese function cries smiled so broad-
ly when he preferred the request that
the French ambassador asked them to
tell him what gave them so much
amusement; but instead of answering
.the Japanese ministers said: '
“We will open the port in question,
my lord, if France in her turn will open
a. certain port to us.” .
“What port is that?”
Frenchman.
“The port of Liverpool.”
“But, your excellencies” (laughing),
“Liverpool is not a. French port, but an
English one.”
asked the
“Yes,” answered the Japanese, “arid ,
the port you named is not
but in Korea.” .
The French ambassador was com-
pelled to admit that the joke was
against him.

and Harbor Bill.
HAWLEY VS. HAN SBROUGH.
The Two Senators ,Have a. Wordy Tilt.
President Cleveland’s Picture on 3
Starts the Trouble.
Business In the House.
Frieze
WASHINGTON, June 2.—The house com-
mittee on rivers and harbors decided to
recommend to the house the passage of
the river and harbor bill over the presi-
dent’s veto. There was no difference of
ocratio members on the main question,
and, although no formal vote was taken,
the decision was unanimous. The only
point of discussion was whether the report
to the house should be in the nature of a
reply to President Cleveland’s objection
to the bill and the contract system, and an
affirmative conclusion was reached. There
Was‘an attempt in the committee to have
the bill brought up in the house at once,
but the assurance given by Representative
Tuesday prevented such action. It was
decided to ask the committee on rules to
allow a day or two to debate the veto.
Only half an hour’s debate was had on the
passage of the bill in the house.
Business of the House.
Immediately after the chaplain’s prayer
in the house Mr. Kern (Pop.. Neb.), in ac
cordanoe with his announced policy of ob-
struction, raised the point of no quorum.
It took ten minutes for the speaker to
count a querum, and then he remarked.
“The chair hopes that members will be
present promptly hereafter and save these
annoyances.”
The Johnson-Stokes election contest
from the Seventh district of South Caro-
.lina was the first business. Mr._McCall
(Mass. ), chairman of the elections commit-
tee, made a motion to reconsider the vote
of Friday by which the house refused to
adopt the minority report that Johnson
was elected. The motion was passed with-
out division. Then he offered a. substitute
that there was no valid election, and that
neither Johnson nor Stokes was entitled
'to the seat, and on a rising vote the sub-
stitute was adopted by the narrow margin
of 1, the result belng—yeas, 104; nays,
103.
‘ In the Senate.
The venerable Mr. Morrill (Vt.), chair-
man of the committee on finance, gave
notice in the senate that he would speak
on the Dingley tarifi bill, with free silver
amendment, which measure has remained
in abeyance on the senate calendar since
Mr. Morrill’s motion to take it up was
defeated some time ago.
Mr. Brown (Rep, Utah) presented the
following resolution:
“Resolved, That in the opinion of the
senate of the United States the secretary
of the treasury has no authority under the
act of, Jan. 14‘, 1875, to issue any further
or other bonds in addition to those already
issued, and that any such bonds that may
hereafter be issued by him would be With-
out authority of law and void.”
The resolution went over. i
A resolution by Mr. Lodge (Rep, Mass.)
was adopted requesting the president for
information as to the seizure of the Amer-
ican schooner Frederick Gerring by the
Canadian cutter Aberdeen.
liIr. Cleveland In a. Picture.
A brief but breezy controversy arose
OVer a resolution offered by Mr. Hans-
brough '(Rep., N. D. ), chairman of the
library committee, appropriating $6,000
for completing the frieze in the rotunda of
the capitol. The picture which is to be
the final feature of this frieze has long
been in controversy. No explanation was
given as to the nature of the picture, but
it was indicated when Mr. Hawley (Rep,
Conn.) interposed with the statement:
“I have no criticisms of the president to
express. And yet I see no reason why the
representations of George Washington and
Abraham Lincoln should be omitted from
that frieze while a representation of Mr.
Cleveland is placed there.”
Mr. Hansbrough explained that the
committee had two sketches, one of them
showing President Cleveland touching the
electric button which announced to the
World that the World’s fair was open. In
the background was a representation of
the Duke of Veragua and family, the last
of the line of Columbus. Mr. Hansbrough
said he did not think any senator should
allow his prejudice against the president
to prevail in this instance.
Mr. Hawley responded that it was most
surprising that this historical frieze should
entirely overlook the greater, historical
event since the Revolution—the war of
the rebellion. The very omission would
create criticism.
Hawley Cannot Forget.
Mr. Hawley suggested a representation
of Grant and Lee shaking hands at Appo-
mattox as an appropriate theme for an
artist. And yet, added Mr. Hawley sug-
gestiVely, as a bust of John C. Breckin-
ridge, a man who left the vice presidential
chair to enter the rebellion, was to be
placed in a niche in the senate he would
make no objection to this resolution.
With some warmth Mr. Hansbrough
stated that the Breckinridge bust had
been suggested by at least one of the sen-
ators from Kentucky. “I am one that be-
lieves the war is over,” added Mr. Hans-
brough. ' -
l “I object to the sneer,” said Mr. Haw-
ey.
“It was not meant as such, ” answered
Mr. Hansbrough.
“I have .no narrow views on this sub-
ject,” proceeded Mr. Hawley. “I thank
heaven I have the warmest feeling for
some of those who engaged on the other
side, but it is impossible to belle history.
There was a great War.‘ We have wiped
out its animosities: but the event itself
cannot ‘be wiped out of history. ”
The resolution was about to be adopted
when Mr. Wilson (Rep, Wash.) objected,
and it went over.
