A PLAGUE OF FEM
Vague Terrors Bar Lots of Folks
From Living on the Land.
DREAD SNAKES AND INSECTS.
They See Danger* and Peril* In Coun
try Life That Do Not Exist, and 8s
Prefer Crowded Citiea—The Truth
About Animal Bitea and Poison*.
Fears of Injury and even death from
snake bite, terror occasioned by dangers
imaginary and unseen, keep many nerv
ous people from living on the land, and
these senseless fears play a larger part
than most people imagine in keeping
people huddled in apartment houses,
crowded into towns and cities. And
the cost of living soars aud soars.
Snake and iuSect poisoning terrorizes
millions of well meaning men and wom
en, when, os a matter of fact, dan
ger from falling while running the
lawn mower is much more real. Feat
seems to become a obsession, and the
word "deadly" creeps into conversation
at every verse end. The rattlesnake Is
"deadly." The copperhead aud moc
casin are "deadly." So la the wholly
mythical puff ndder. In hardly less
degree is the tarantula "deadly," while
varying lethal capacities are ascribed
to the centipede, the scorpion, the kiss
ing bug and sundry other forms of in
sect life. Pseudo science to the con
trary notwithstanding, there is no liv
ing thing within the boundaries of the
T*nited States of America whose bite or
sting is sure death or (with one possi
ble exception) even probable death.
There are five varieties of venomous
serpents tn the country, three of them
Crotalids and two belonging to the
elaps family. The elaps are rare. The
' crotalids (rattlesnake, moccasin and
copperhead) are common and of the
widest geographical distribution. Vet,
on the basis or actum eviueuce, mc
amazing fact stands out that only
about eighty persona, so far us Is ascer
tainable. have ever (lied from snake
bites In the United States.
Be It remembered that death follow
ing snake bile is not necessarily the
same thing as death from snake bite.
Error iu treatment plays no small part
In vitiating the statistics. For "error"
read "whisky." Whoever Is primarily
responsible for the hoary superstition
that liquor in huge doses !s useful In
snake polsouing has many n lif;> to an
swer for. A whole bottle of raw whis
ky forced down the throat of a man un
accustomed lo alcohol is pretty likely
to kill him and is absolutely certain to
cause grave poisoning.
Fully as much terror attaches, in the
country dhUrii-ts, to the puff adder or
saml viper as to the rattlesnake or cop
perhead. This Is a suggestive bit of
superstition, since there's no such thing
as an adder or viper on the western
hemisphere and never has been one,
unless it came carefully pickled in u
Jar. What passes for the supposedly
deadly reptile is the common hog nosed
• or bull snake. It Is about us dangerous
1 as an infuriated rabbit. Rut it puts up
one of the best "bluffs" known to nat
ural history.
Diseased Imagination could Invent nc
creature more horrific of appearance
than the tarantula. lis bristling and
hostile aspect, the swift ferocity of Its
rush, Its great si/.e and Its enthusiastic
preference for combat as against flight
are sufficient to account for the fear
and respoct In which it is generally
held. But, though several species of
the huge spider are native in the United
States and others frequently drop out
of banana bunches from South and
Central America, to the discomfiture of
the unsuspecting grocer, no authentic
instance of death from tarantula poi
son in this country is obtainable.
Iu some sections of the country the
spider hysteria prevails. People shiver
every time they see a spider. Yet in
all the United States there is known but
, one poisonous spider. Strangely enough,
the one dangerous spider on the
American continent is small, obscure
and practically unknown. I.atrodectus
mactans is its scientific name. It is
' about the size of a large pea, black,
with a red spot on the back—a useful
r danger signal—and spins a small wet
t in outhouses or around woodpiles. But
t few specimens have ever been identi
i fled in this country.
t The only insect which really kills is
I the mosquito, yet loss fear Is expressed
1 about Its activities than about any oth
J er poison carrying insect qr snake
. Compared with the mosquito as a real
p menace, all the combined brood ol
j snakes, scorpions, centipedes, tarantn
las and other pet bugaboos of our child
5 ish romanticism are utterly negligible
—are as figments to reality, as shadow
to substance.
A clear understanding of these popu
'• lar fears and superstitious would ait
- greatly In giving assurance of safetj
to the man or woman who would til
5^ the soil, who would work in the opet
fields, who would live in the country.—

The boys have missed their Ameri

English and French tobacco, but
It is cured differently, and doea
not taste the same.
"For about three months I have
