THE MEXICAN SCoRPIoN.-A CORES
pondent, writing to the San Francisco
Chronicle says: The most common of
these pests are the scorpion-alcarans-
for they become hale and hearty grandpar-
ents within "a hours, and their numerous
progeny are forever darting everywhere
with inconceivable rapidity, their tails,
which hold the sting, ready to fly up at a
moments warning. They are in the wall,
between the brick of the floor, lurking
within your garments. Turn up corner
of the rug or the table cloth and you dis
turb an interesting family of them pick
up your shoes in the morning, and out they
flop; in short, every article you touch must
be treated like dose of medicine-"to be
well shaken before taken" The common
variety hereabout are about three inches
long, and the yellowish-brown ones are con-
sidered most poisonous. In Durango they
are black, and so alarmingly numerous that
the authorities offer rewards-so much per
tail-to the boys for killing them. Their
sting is usually fatal to child, and more
or less severe in its effects on adults, accord
ing to the state of the system. Some have
been known to recover after remaining for
eight days foaming at the mouth in convul-
sions, and with the stomach swollen as in
dropsy: others, by prompt and energetic
treatment, do not suffer much.

him up stairs and tended him but the case
was desperate from the first Only just
before the end did he SO far recover the
power of speech as to be able to make full
confession of what occurred.
Sir Lewis had been a younger son, the
eldest inherited the family title but died
early, leaving his widow to give him a
posthumous heir, the title remaining in
abeyance until time showed whether the
infant was boy or girl 1t proved to be
boy, whereupon Lewis Mallably, who
had the earliest intimation of the fact, put
into execution nefarious project which he
with care concocted in advance. A girl
was obtained from founding hospital and
substituted by Lady Mallaby's nurse, who
was in Lewis pay, for the newl wly-born son
and heir. This son and heir was handed
to another accomplice, Hester Gorrigan,
who was bribed with 9100, half down in
the shape of half-note, the other half to
be paid when she announced her safe ar
rival in Texas with the stolen child. Mrs.
Gorrigan had an unquenchable thirst and
in her transit between London and Liver
pool allowed her precious charge to slip
out of her hands with the consequences we
know.
1t was the watch borrowed from Sir
Lewis Mallaby which first aroused Jack s
suspicious 1t bore the strange crest-two
hammers crossed, with the motto, 81 strike"
which was marked upon the linen of the
child that Dan Blockitpicked up at Kirkland
station. The initial of the name Mallaby
coincided with the monogram III. L. NJ.
Jack rapidly drew his conclusions and
made blood shot, which hit the mark as
we have seen.
Lewis Mallaby's confession soon rein
stated the rightful heir and Dan Blockit in
after years had no reason to regret the gen
erosity which had prompted him to give
the little founding the shelter of his rude
home.

How TO KEEP CIDER SwEET.-Pure
sweet cider that is arrested in the process
of fermentation before it becomes acetic
acid or even alcohol, and with carbonic
acid gas worked out, is one of the most
delightful beverages. The Farm, Field
and FreSide recommends the following
scientific method of treating cider to pre-
serve its sweetness. When the saccharine
matters by fermentation are being converted
to alcohol, if bent tube be inserted air
tight into the bung, with the other end in
to pail of water, to allow the carbonic
acid gas evolved to pass off without admit
ing any air into the barrel, beverage will
be obtained that is fit nectar for the gods.
A handy way is to fill your cask nearly up
to the wooden faucet when the cask is
rolled so the bung is down. Get COM
mon rubber tube and slip it over the end
of the plug in the faucet, with the other
end in the pail. Then turn the plug SO
the cider can have communication with the
pail. After the water ceases to bubble,
bottle or store away.
