ROMANCE IN COURT.
Story of Man Who Woa in a Lottery but
 Lost Bride.

'
 Lost Bride.
 A romantic story was revealed in Boston court the other day in contest over the $500, ,000 estate of thc late Sam uel Welch, who lived in so many places that the probate judge doesn't know where to locate his legal residence. For years fine-loolzing brick house on Elm street, Somerville, has remained unten- anted, it's windows and doors heavily barred against entrance by anyone ex- cept the possessor of the key. All sorts of ghost stories have been conjured up about this house, and everybody who lived in the neighborhood was con- vinced that the house was haunted. It had that reputation, anyway, and tiInid women and children always went block out of their way to avoid passing it at night The ghost stories vanished in the light of to-day srevelations. That house was built by Mir. Weleh years ago with the proceeds of a lottery prize which he had drawn. lie was engaged to be married to an estimable young woman, and the wedding day had been appointed. When the intended bride heard that the foundation of his wealth had been laid through lottery invest ment she refused to marry him. Mir. Welch immediately barred up the house, which had just been completed, and would never give his consent to it's be- ing occupied. He then led a rowing life in Massachusetts and New Hampshire, where he passed the greater part of his time. Mayor Pope, of Somerville, was to-day appointed administrator of the estate, which he will distribute among a large number of heirs.

A boy who is sent to larg, school soon finds his level.
 The world is great public school. and it soon teaches new pupil hi proper place, says the New Ycc...; Ledger. If he has the attributes tliat belong to a leader, he will be installed in the position of a leader: if net what ever his own opinion of his abilitic, may be, he will be compelled to fall in with the rank and file. If not destined to greatness, the next best thing t. which he can aspire is responsibility; but no man can either be truly great CT truly respectable who is vain. polnpous and overbcaring,

AN AN GENT PROBLEM sCLvs
Baron von Muller and the Cure of SnaL
 PN.so.i2E.

Baron Von Muller and the Cure of Sn3k Po.so-iag.
 The GovcYnCr-GCr:ci.;.l of India gently received communication fro. Baron von Muller. an eminent scicntit authority of Melbourne. annOuncin that he has discovered the real eau and effective cure of snalle-poiGoning.
 Hitherto, says the London Standar, the mode in which the venom of SC pents produced fatal effects has been
 mystery. The elaborate series of c: perincnts carried out by the Victoria savant have. he stItcS. not only rei dcred it clear how the poison operate In producing death. but have pointc out remedy wkich. when applied time. will save the life Of tho patient.
 According to Herr von Muller t.: venom of scrpcntS does not destroy t. tissue Of the body, but has merely dynamic effect, suspcndirg the actic of the motor and vaSomCtor nerve ceI tcrs. This discovery ct once indicate that the proper l:ind Of antidote woul be something that would stimulate an increase the functional activity of thcs nerve ccnterS."
 The remc;ly is supplied by strycl, nirc, which is directly antagonistic it's action to snake poison. Herr vo Muller has applied strychzine upon large number Cf persons bitten b tirer-SralIcs and ether vcnoInous SGT pents. and with invariable success.
 The vay in which Ec employs it is t insert ten or twenty r1inims of the dru under thc skin of the patient, and re peat tic operation every fifteen minute, until slight muscular spasms are pro duced, these being an unfailing sigl that the patient is out of danger. Large doses Of strychnine may be injected into the blood of q person who has beel bitten without producing any injury un. til it has completely neutralized the ef. feet of the snake poison.
 The importance of this discovery, il confirmed, can hardly be overrated. In India, where twenty thousand persons arc killed by poisonous serpents every year. Baron von Muller's communica- tion has naturally been received with the deepest interest.

WORTH UNTOLD MILLIONS.
New Parasite Which Is Saving the Orange
 Groves of California.

| New Parasite Which Is Saving the Orange Groves of California. "They are not much to look at, but they do their work in good style.' Alexander Crow, entomologist of the state board of horticulture, was looking very closely and with evident satisfac- ton at what appeared to the naked eye as minute specks of dust on piece of glass as he made the remark, and passed the glass to San Francisco Examiner reporter.
 ''What is it?"
 ''Let me put this slide under the mi croscope and then sec for yourself"
 Under the glass the tiny speck, hardly visible to the naked eye, became well developed fly, about as large as a horse fly, with two pairs of wings, three pairs of legs and pair of antennae. The wings were covered with long, bristly hairs, and the legs terminated each with a pair of pincer-like claws. If small, it was evident that the little fel- low was amply prepared to do battle for life.
 'It's a fly, sure, but what is it good tor?"
 Next to the vedolia, it is, perhaps, she most valuable insect known in Cali tornia,'' continued MT. Crow. ''This little fly, for which we have yet no name, but which belongs to the Chalcid family, is the natural foe of what is known as the yellow or San Gabriel scale. Each female will lay probably from fifty to one hundred eggs, and those eggs develop larv@ that feed upon the scale insect, The female is fur nished with sharp stingerlike ovipos- ter. This she thrusts under a scale in- sect, and deposits an egg, which matches into voracious little grub that, as soon as matched, proceeds to consume it's adopted parent. Under the skin of the scale insect it passes through its meta morphoses, when it eats its way out fully developed fly, prepared to lay eggs for another generation of yellow scale eaters''
 Ut is such little speck. How did you ever discover it?''
 ''The orange orchards in San Gabriel valley were badly covered with the vel low scale. The foliage was sparse and the fruit almost valueless. Before the fruit could be marketed the growers had to put it in long water troughs and scrub the scale off with brooms, and then it was not clean. So destructive was the pest, in fact, that many orchard ists talked of giving up the business. Mir. Coggswell at Sierra Madre had an orchard that was badly infested, and after awhile it began to improve until the trees became clean and the fruit ex- cellent. Other orchards in the vicinity showed signs of improvement, and began to look for the cause, when close observation showed this little fellow at work. Prof. Coquilette had also discov- cred it and study of its habits has shown it to be the natural remedy, and believe the only remedy, for the de- structive yellow scale.
 Why" continued Mir. Crow, becom- ing enthusiastic, that minute speck is worth untold millions to this state.''

4 PRETTY COOL THIEF.

He Couldn't Sec How He Happened ta
 Miss All Those Fares.
 X stockholder in one of the Pitts bUrgh street-car lines w.s riding the other day in one of the company's vehicles, and more out of curiosity than frcu any selfish motive he watched the conductor ringing up the fares, says the Pittsburgh Dispatch. The canvas very crowded.and somehow or other tacrc were seventy-two persons inside and on the platforIus-this the stocllholdcr dis covered himself by counting. The num- Der of fares on the indicator when the conductor had collected them all. how ever, was only forty. This rather dazed the stocllholGer, and he went out upon the platform and said to the conductor:
 Hadn't you better leave something for the stockholders"
 What do you Inean?" queried the conductor, indignantly.
 "Just what l say. You've not regis tered much more than half of the fares you've taken"
 The conductor was very red about the c!sccks and neck by this time, and he rauttered something about mistake having occurred. All tbe same he rang Up twenty-two more farcs-tcn short of tSc right num5er-and then remarked to tAc gentleman who had called him ,,5wn: Fl don't know how missed t.:osc fares, Tn sure.''
 Neither 1o 1. |" responded the stock holder. ''b;:t do know how this com p2ny misses good deal Of money"

One of tho curiosities of that sumptu- ous palace in the Welsh mountains where Mime. Adelina Patti retires from time to time to rest after her triumphs, is a gigantic orchestrion, says London paper. This wonderful piece of mech anism comprises in itself all the instru- ments of grand orchestra, and with its aid the queen of song can rehearse any one of her roles. The orchestrion is the invention of German. Just before Christmas something went wrong with the huge musical box, but the maker. happening to be in England, soon set it right again. It was the first ever con structed in this country.

MALTESE NOT ITALIANS.
Facts About the Population of One of En.
 glands Strongholds.

Adcts -ADOuN Luc HOpuldIlOn or Olle or
 glands StrOngholds.
 It is a common though utterly erron- eous idea in England that the Maltese are Italians by race, and that their language is dialect of Italians, writes Sir George r. Bowen to the London Times. Sir Adriano Dingli, the present very able chief justice of Malta-a Maltese of the Maltese-has stated of hcially as follows: ''It must not be overlooked that both English and Ital ian are practically, for vast majority of our population, as much foreign tongues as Arabic or Greek in England or Italy There is good authority for the belief that, at the present day, about twenty per cent. of the entire people can speak Italian, and about thirty per cent. can speak English, while nearly sixty per cent. can speak only Maltese.
 The fact is-and it is a very interest ing fact-that the Maltese are mainly the last surviving remnant of the Carthaginian branch of the old Phceni- elan people. Malta was the halfway station between Carthage and Sicily, long held by the Carthaginians and of which Hamilcar, the father of Hanni- bal, was at one time governor. There is indeed a tradition that Hannibal himself was born in Malta. This famous and historic island was the chief stronghold in the Mediter- ranean of the Carthaginians of old, as it is now of the English. Here, and in the neighboring island of Gozo, there still remain extensive ruins of Garth aginian tor Phenician) temples, and an abundance of Carthaginian graves. Moreover. the base of the Maltese Ian guage is Carthaginian, i. e., Phenician. In the comedy of the Latin poet Plau- tus, which is named "Penulus' (''The Little Carthaginian') a Carthaginian soldier makes speech in his own lan- guage, which is stated by modern Nal tese scholars to be as intelligible to them as much of Chaucer is intellgiblc to the English of the present time.
 During the long rule of the Saracens, who held Malta for more than two cen turies, the old Carthaginian race and language were much mixed with the Arab blood and language; but both are kindred and Semitic races and tongues allied also to Hebrew, and have no re- lation whatsoever with any European language. The subsequent introduc- tion of Italian was due to the Knights of St. John of Jerusalem, most of whom were Italians. French or Spaniards. Italian was then (as it still remains to large extent) the lingua franca of the Mediterranean, and the grand masters used it in their official acts (when not published in Latin), and in their courts oi llr. It is still the language of the courts of law under the English rule. although it is the language neither of tac English nor of the Maltese.
