cracks In the ground, and not seldom In
old farm fences and between walls and
rocks. old logs and the bark Of trees.
When left alone they are as harmless as
most Of the rest OF poisonous reptiles
and insects but being annoyed and dis
turbed they sting with their claws and
produce fearful wounds. For this
reason, generally, such persons are bit
ten by centipedes who camp out on the
pralries and perhaps erect their tent or
sic, ping quarters on centlpede nest.
Not long ago railroad workman on the
International extension, some 60 miles
below San Antonio, camped out near
the road. During the night he felt
n singing pain on one of his legs and
In the morning he found out that he had
lodged on a large centipede. The Bit
ten leg soon swelled considerably and
began TO inname. The places where
the sharp claws had entered produced
singing pain and the whole lower ex-
tremity from the foot TO the knee joint
inilamed, producing, finally, gan
creme OF the skin around the bitten parts.
In this condition the man was brought
here and removed to the hospital for
treatment. lie had a horrible open ul-
Ger extending from the foot joint up
wards nearly to the knee Joint, and laid
up for many weeks until recovered. DIR.
Watts saw this case often with me Mt
the Santa Rosa hospital, where the
patient laid up for some time until en-
iirely cured. But, after indulging freely
in alcoholics In town after his discharge,
the old ulcer again returned, severer
than ever before, and he was then re-
moved to the poor house, when no other
treatment bur transportation Of raw
meat could heal the large ulcer. This
case was afterwards reported and pub
lished in the Texas Courier-l,ecord Of
Medicine.
Generally, Inflammation or gangrene
of the skin only takes place; In rare cases,
although, the muscles and even the bone
can be laid bare. am not informed Of
general blood poisoning aud real deaths
occurring in Texas from the bite Of a
centipede, but 1t Is not impossible"
The sack containing the poison is
situated near the base of the NV and
between the two large claws of the hind
body and has n long excretory canal
with n small opening ut the extremity of
the booklets. DIR. Linceicum published
u case In the American journal of the
Modern Sciences, of October. 1866. in
which child survived the bite only
about six hours. The symptoms are
described thus: Great general uneasin-
ess, Immediately after the injury, excess
sive nausea, and frequent vomiting,
which gradually increased in violence
until the child, In oonvulsive struggle,
ceased to breathe. The whole surface
was dappied with livid spots, from the
size ola five cent piece up to that OF II
dollar.

Two ladies were discussing politics,
and one of them was violent free

"What difference? Why, protection
makes everything high In price, and
free trade makes everything cheap.

Goodness sakes a live, woman, what

"Why, mean just this: My husband

The other woman began ut once to

Queer COnyeyances,


Some birds are known to fly long dis
tanees carrying their young on their
backs. Small birds take passage across
the Mediterranean Sea on the backs of
larger and stronger ones. They could
not fly so far. heir streng b would
give out and they would drop in the
water Along the northern shore of
the sea, in autumn, these little BIRDS as,
semble to wait the coming of cranes
from the north, as people wait for the
train at a railroad station. With the
first cold blast the cranes arrive, flock
after flock. They utter peculiar cry,
as of Warning or calling, It afsw RS
the same purpose rs the ringing of the
bell when the train is about to start.
The small birds understand IT, They
get excited. They hasten aboard,
scrambling for places. The first to
come get the best seats. II the passen-
gers are too many, some will have to
fit back to the hedges till the next
train. How they chatter good byes-
those VINO go aud those who stay. M
tickets have they, but all the same they
are conveyed safely. Doubtless the
great birds ike this warm covering fol
their backs In III way the small
birds pay their fare. And il is these
last who must be out in the wet il i
storms. The little passengers are o
different species, like Americans, Irish
Germans and Chinese travelling to eth
or in cars or steamships. Their journey
takes them through the air, high above
the wide sweep OF waters. They arc
close companions on the way. BY ant
