I)o you wish to know the quickest

you. To cure u cold quickly, it must be
treated before the cold has become set

done if you choose to, as nature in her
kindness to man gives timely warning
and plainly tells you in nature's way.
that as a punishment for some indiscre

cases there is a ti in white coating on the

Iaaet, Bird mad Itoptllca Found In th
Smnd Funny Franks ( tk Tarantula
Hnwk mad tka Ilomd Biimtr Haw tka
Lattar Xfmrrj tka Samkaa.
There'u plenty of life on the desert
not crowds of human insects, rushing
and tearing about like crazy ants, and
keeping tip a din day and night that is
enough to drive the whole world mad
but interesting, sensible, natural life,
fall of comedy, tragedy and even hu
mor. If you feel lonesome you can find
company anywhere by turning up a
rock or looking under the sagebrush.
There's no lack of ingenious, curious
little creatures whose ways are worth
studying.
Take the tarantula hawk, for example.
That's an insect built something like a
wasp, or perhaps more like a "devil's
darning needle," and it flies about look
ing for tarantulas just as the hawk soars
about keeping his eye peeled for gophers
and such provender. When the hawk
sees a tarantula he goes for the big spider,
swoops down upon him, stings him and
gets away like a flash. The tarantula
knows that his only show is to get under
cover, and he legs it home in frantio
haste. It's fun to see the big, hairy leg
ged bully duck his head and paddlo off
through the sand as if the devil were
after him and the devil is after him,
sure enough.
If the tarantnla is near his house he
may escape by getting to it, tumbling in
head lirst and shutting the door tight,
but he's got to hustle for it, because
little Jack the Giai.t Killer is a hustler
himself, and keeps jabbing away at every
jump. If the hairy cgre gets caught out
a great way from his castle his name is
Dennis, and he knows it. Ho flops over
upon his back to make a fight, and if he
could get hold of the hawk in that posi
tion he would make short work of the
little chap, but the hawk sees the trick,
and just keeps sailing around and watch
ing for an opening, and when he catches
the spider off guard he darts in, hits him
a lick and gets away like a flash.
QUEER BIRDS.
Sometimes the hawk will pretend to
quit and fly away, but the instant the
tarantula is on his feet and scooting for
shelter, whizz! comes the hawk like a
bullet and socks it to him in the back of
the head. A few stings like that do up
the tarantula. He seems to become
dizzy from the poison, staggers a few
steps and collapses in a hairy heap. His
legs twitch a few times, and that is the
end of his marvelous career.
I've been calling the hawk "he" all
along, but it isn't that kind of a bird.
The tarantula Nemesis is the female
hawk, so far as I can judge, because aft
er the spider is knocked out the hawk
proceeds to deposit eggs in the rem;uns,
and I suppose the eggs are hatched by
the heat of decomposition. Possibly the
purpose of laying eggs in a defunct
tarantula is to provide the young hawks
with grub at the threshold of life, so to
speak. Whatever the scheme may be, it
is death to tarantula, and tor that rea
son nobody ever harms a tarantula hawk.
The insect's sting is said to be poisonous
to men, but I never knew one to sting a
man.
Then there i3 the road runner a joy
ous, sociable little fellow, whose busi
ness in life is worrying rattlesnakes to
death. The road runner is a bird some
what larger than a bluejay, with a saucy
topknot and a still saucier tail about a
foot in length. He runs as fast as a
horse ordinarily travels, and if he once
gets into the road ahead of a horseman
he will race along for hours and can't
be driven out of the road. He could
skip aside and get out of the way if he
wanted to, but he seems to think that it
is his mission in life to keep just ahead
of that horse, and nothing can divert
him from that occupation.
He is not in the least alarmed, and
when he gains too much of a lead he will
stop and seesaw with his tail and chirrup
merrily until the horse nearly catches
up with him. Then away he goes again,
as if his life depended npon winning the
race. When he wearies of the sport he
disappears in the brush.
TAXTALIZINQ A SNAKE.
I was riding across a cactus desert
once when a pair of road runners that
had been raciirg with mo tnrned out of
the trail and became suddenly very
much excited about something. They
paid no more attention to me, and I rode,
up near enough to see what was going
on. 'i'hoy had run cron a big diamond
back rattier and were preparing to nave
fun with him. One of them had struck
the snake with his sharp bill and the
diamond back had promptly coiled him
self ix a defensive attitude and was
fpringing his rattle wickedly. One of
the birds remained near the snake,
jumping about and making a great
show of hostility, but keeping beyond
reach all tho time, while the other gath
ered little bunches of dry cactns, with
spines as sharp as needles and almost as
hard, which he dropped close to the rep
tile. The road runner was as busy as tho
devil in a gale of wind, and in a few
minutes he had piled a regular little
corral of cactus spines all around the
rattlesnake. Then the pair of them be
gan to tantalize the snake, and flying at
him thej" provoked him into striking at
them, with results disastrous to himself ,
for every time ho launched out he hit
into the cactus and got stuck full of the
spines.
When the rattlesnake had just about
got crazy and was reckless of his guard
the road runners flew up, hovered over
him and darted down at him whenever
they saw a good chance to hit him.
Their sharp bills did great execution,
and it wasn't long before they had tho
rattlesnake laid out as cold as a wedge.
They are great generals, these road run
ners, and they alwa3s get away with the
rattlesnake. That's why nobody ever
shoots a road runner in California. I

CHILLY FANATICISM.
Crank Who Find Delight In Taking
Frigid Flungra In Slid winter.
I found myself at tho Serpentine at an
unusua'ly early hour in the morning. A
little way out in the water, in front of
tho diving board, was a ladder lying on
the ice, and in front of this ladder vers
two treaties. Between these two t-fstles
the ice was broken away, lea.. ng a
space of water t- dive into about ten
feet long by five t six wide, the trestles
being placed there for the purpose of
keeping the miserable little pluu -ro bath
select from the skaters.
To the left of tho t"tstle:i was another
ladder lying on the ice. Near the bank
1 found a policeman who was communi
cative. The bathers f T-.i a kind of rkib
and number about l.e: 'y. he told me.
They bathe every mormiig. r.o matter
what the weather i , in they go ju.st the
same. Alt classes of people belong to
the club, I was further tol l, and some
came from a piod di-tunce. 0:i en
t'.iusi.ist is 75 vear.-i old. His hair and
beard are wdiite ;;.s f:?:.v.
Just behind us was a very frje old elm
tree, "lhat, saul tlie policeman, "is
their favorite tree. That i.s where they
dress and undress." I soon found that
this was the case, as the bathers came
up. The first man to arrive lost no time
in undressing, but went to the tree and
threw oif his clothes, chatting to the po
liceman the while. Then he sped iravlv
to his little patch of water between the
trestles. Into the water he jumped
it is very shallow here and dipping
underneath it began to throw out sort:.'
very large blocks of ice to the right and
left of him.
Tins done, he leaped nimbly on to th?
diving board, poised himself, plugged
and disappeared beneath the water, but
only for si few moments. lie wtis out
sixain in that space of lime and ran nim
bly to the tree, where he quickly dried
hiimelf and rather shvly dressed. The
others also undressed quickly, mount
ed the butird and dived, but only once,
and they were out like the other man
and rapidly drying themselves. They
never take more than one plunge iu tho
cold weather. This was the general
routine of all tho bathers, who seemed
to enjoy the bath immensely, uttering
delighted "Ahs!" as they went in and
came out.
"How do you feel?" said I to one who
was drying himself, "cold?"
"No; all of a glow warm all over."
"How do you feel when you go in lirst
cold?"
"No, not at all. Of course it's use." "
He went on to nay that he had in
dulged in the cold plunge bath for
twelve years and never missed a day.
Nor did any of the others miss if they
could help it. Rain, hail or snow in he
went and in they went. "I've been in
when it's been 20 degs. below freezing
point," he said delightedly; "it's only
about five now," and he seemed sad be
cause it was too warm.
"And you like it?"
"Rather most healthy thing in the
world feel quite fresh for the da".
A-a-ah!"
The bathers are allowed by the author
ities to have this special lot of water all
to themselves, and very jealously they
guard their privilege. On Christmas
day they have a swimming race of a
hundred yards, with lirst, second and
third prizes but not for money. Lon
