SCORPIONS sWARMED THE SHIP.

These and a MYRIAD Of Other Insects
Came Out Of the Load of Bones.
The schooner Wallace ]. Boyd, Capt.
Godfrey, arrived at Philadelphia from
Iontevideo with a cargo Of bones,
which were gathered from the plains Of
that locality, and the voyage will long
be remembered by Capt Godfrey and
his wife, as well as by all the sailors.
The ship became infested with scorpions,
which arose from the cargo and pene-
trated every available quarter of the
ship. The seamen' rest was disturbed,
and for weeks at g time the unfortunate
men dared not rest themselves in their
hunks for fear of being stung by one of
the creatures.
Every effort to rid the ship of the
plague, says the Philadelphia Press, was
unsuccessful, and even on Monday
night, while lying at the upper quaran-
tine, the decks and cabins were alive
with these creeping insects. Climatic
changes had no effect whatever on
them, and those of the crew who enter
tanned the belief that they would dis
appear as the northern latitudes were
reached were disappointed.
Capt. Godfrey is at a loss to know how
they found their way out from be-
meath the matches, which on board
vessels are regarded as even air
sands sand: and made life horrible 'V on
board the ship. Five and six times q
day all hands were forced to change
their clothing. When the vessel reached
her pier yesterday, the sailors at once
left and nothing could ever induce any
of them to again ship on a bone-laden
vessel.
Capt. Godfrey said yesterday that they
sailed from Montevideo August II,
and up to the 9Th of September no YER
min had appeared. The day i'll question
was very warm and the atmosphere was
heavy and damp. About noon around
the main hatch large green bugs were
ings, and towards evening the ships
decks were alive. The next morning
they found their way down into the
forecastle and drove all the sailors out.
The same night the after cabin was in
vaded. Since that time this unfortunate
condition Of affairs has existed and the
bugs were thrown overheard by the
bucketful every day since. When the
wind was blowing fresh the air was full
of the unwelcOme visitors and in Gains
they lay torpid on the decks. The bed
clothing, tablecloths, and even wearing
apparel became full Of the insects, but
fortunately none of the crew was bitten
by any poisonous insect.
Capt. Godfrey says that the bones
which he has on board were principally
brought from the extreme upper regions
Of the River Plata in lighters. They
were gathered from the plains, where
they had probably been for ages Many
whole skeletons Of horses, sheep, and
oxen are among the collection, all of
which will be ground up at this port
While lying on the plains they no doubt
became infested with these bugs, and
the extreme heat Of the vessels hold
drove them up on the deck.

WOMEN WHO ARE sPENDTHRIFTS.

Once in Debt She Loses Her Head and
Becomes IL Plunger.
The number of grossly eXtravagant
women who carry the burden of their
debts about London society is enor-
nous. Many Of them are very rich,
but that fact does not prevent them
from outrunning the constable. We
know instances of famous women IN the
London world at this moment says
Hearth and Home, whose husbands are
worth large fortunes, women who
have dressmakers' bills they can
not pay which they simply dare
not show to the men whose liberal al
lowances they have squaudered in reck-
less fOllies. One beauty told us the
other day that she owed her dress
maker g., 500, and that she saw no more
prospect of paying her than of paying
the national debt. She did not dare to
mention the bill to her husband, rich
though he was, and so she cOmprO-
missed the matter by ordering more
gowns that she didn't want, and allow
ing the dressmaker to charge anything
she liked for them. And SO the snow
ball Of debts rolls merrily on, gathering
size III it progress.
Once a woman has cot into debt she
seems to lose her head. The plunger
spirit seizes her. She does not care
what she does. Her balance is lost.
She lets herself be caught like a grain
II whirlwind, and danced over and
ut o any number of pitfalls and abysses.
A woman in debt is generally a reck-
less woman, not only In money matters:
but in the other affairs of life. The
| leaven seems to work mysteriOusly
through the lump, and affect every part
of the character. Not only money con
siderations are flung to the winds, but
often considerations more precious,
more to be cherished. Extravaganza
nowadays is almost a disease with many
women. Some spend wantonly for lack
of ANYTHING else to do. 1t is as if they
said to themselves, "Here is a terrible
empty quarter of an hour in my day.
What shall [ do with it? Oh, / can go
out and buy something" And SO Bond
street is crowded in the morning. This
may be good for trade-when the bills
are paid, if ever-but how bad for char
aCter
Extravagant women get little salts
faction out Of their extravaganza at the
time, and create so many skeletons to
people their cupboards, and sit by their
hearth in the future, that the world
soon becomes full of dry bones to them.
Then they develop into pessimists, and
add to the ruin that falls on life in
stead of to the sun that shines over it.
And the husband, who has to pay the
| piper at last-if he can-lOOks upon all
| women henceforth with a contempt
natural, though, thank heaven unrea-
sonable. From the behavior of his own
particular unit he judges of the mass
and who can greatly blame him?

Mr.. Browns Week of Surprises.

Probably there is not another man in
New England who has had such sur
prises this week as William J. Brown,
Of Belfast. Years ago be had two
brothers, Jonathan NJ. and Levi, tho
home of the family being in Searsmont.
Jonathan entered the navy, and for
thirty years had not been heard FROM
his family naturally supposing that he
was dead. Levi, at the age of Is years,
sailed away IN Searsport ship COM
handed by a Capt. Charles Nickels,
bound for South America. For eigb-
teen years he had been considered
dead, as no tidings of him had
ever reached home. A month ago
William was surprised by getting let
ter from South Africa from his brother
Jonathan saying that he was about to
leave on a steamer to visit his old home
in Waldo County. He also stated that
he was rancher and editor of paper
Before the family had got through talk
ing oyer this news William, fortnight
later, received another letter dated IN
Australia from his other supposed dead
brother Levi. This also stated that
Levi was about to start for his native
Generalization Journal.

A Widely Prevalent MaIadv

While it is perfectly true that swamp YapOrs,
morning and evening mists along the banks Of
slow, winding, turbid streams, and the ef1luvium
exhaled by the sun from moist and decaying
vegetables beget malaria, it frequently breaks
out where such conditions exist. 1t is, in
fact, a malady widely prevalent, of which it is
in many cases impossible to discover the origin.
But though its causes are often obscure, the
testimony, professional and public, of the inhab-
itants of America and other lands, leave no rea-
sonable doubt not only that Hostetters Stomach
Bitters uproots this tenacious disease when fully
developed, but fortifes the system against its
first attacks. Chills and fever bilious intermit-
tent, dumb ague and ague all yield to it alike.
Liver trouble, always present in malarial disor-
der, dyspepsia, constipation and kidney COM
plant Succumb to the Bitters.

THE TIME WITHOUT A WATCH.
Plan That Does Away with Carrying a
Chronom eter.

Plan That Does Away with Carrying a
Chronom eter.
Actual and repeated experiments
have shown that the nearest hour Of the
day or night may be ascertained in the
following very curious way: Make a
small running loop in q piece OF sewing
thread about q foot in length, place a
shilling in this loop, see that the coin is
accurately bisected by the thread, and
then draw the loop tight up, so that the
shilling is firml y slung at one end Of the
tumbler with fairly wide mouth. Rest
your right elbow on the table in a firm
and easy position SO as to avoid any
shakiness in your hand, hold the other
end of the thread between your first
finger and the "ball" of thumb Il. e.,
the fleshy top joint of the thumb), SO
that the thumb nail is undermost, and
few inches above the middle of the
mouth of the glass Now, if you keep
your hand quite steady, the movement
Of the coin (Which is hanging inside the
tumbler) will become less and
less until the shilling is motion
less. Then, in half a minute or
so a very slight and regular vibra-
ton will commence, the coin oscillating
from side to side like q pendulum. and
gradually increasing the length Of
movement until it gently strikes the
side of the glass. This strike goes on
in the most regular and automatic way,
first on one side Of the glass and then
on the other, until, say, eight strokes
have been struck; the vibrations of the
coin then diminish in length, until the
suspended shilling again becomes mo-
tionIess and hangs in the middle Of the
tumbler. You look at your watch and
find that s o'clock is the nearest hour.
! have tried this over and over again,
deliberately setting about the expert
ment without bias or any intention Of
influencing the swing of the coin, and
also being ignorant of the time, and
when my hand has been steady the
right time has invariably been struck.
There is something very curious about
this phenomenon. Whether the thread
is influenced by the pulse in the ''balP'
of the thumb or whether there is some
unconscious transference of intention"
from the brain to the thread, | do not
know; but in any case the matter is
sufficiently interesting to be worthy of
critical test by persons who will care
fully and without bias carry out this
singular experiment of telling the time.

SEE WAS A HAPPY BRIDE.
Right There the Blithe Young Thing
Had the Advantage of the Groom.

Right There the B1ithe Young Thing
Had the Advantage of the Groom.
A slim-built young man in clothes of
belligerent cut walked timidly into the
marriage office yesterday. He was
followed closely by resolute-looking
young woman in holiday attire.
The young man glanced around
suspiciously for an instant and then
reached for the clerks ear. His COM
panion assumed an air of OstentatiOus
pre- occupation, turned her back and
gazed far away at a corner of ceiling,
but she was careful to keep between
her companion and the door.
SSH" Kissed the young fellow,
bending far over the counter in his
effort to prevent his companion over
hearing anything. "Ssh, say, can't we
duck out of sight somewhere? Ssh
don't shoutn'
The clerk shook his head.
The stranger continued his cautious
whisper: ''Say," he said, SSH, Pm i'll
a hole, see? it's agin me to hitch to
that she devil, see? How can l jump
the game, eh?"
The clerk shook his head. ''There
are courts all about here" he suggested;
TRY 'em."
The stranger bent closer.
"Say," he continued, with an appre-
hensive glance at the back of his COM
panion, "she'Il land me dead to rights
if YOU don't give me a lift. She's swOre
to give me a divorce after we're
hitched, but what good'll that do, ell ?"
he concluded mOurnfully.
The clerk remained silent.
Say" went on the visitor in plead
ing tones, throw her out, and I'll fix it
Il -,
anything goes"
The clerk shook his head.
Say" suddenly exclaimed the
woman, wheeling about resolutely,
what game er you putin up on me
now? Scratch out that license lively"
''This here mans been keeping COM
pany with me for two years, and he's
got to do some lively marryin' now, an
DON'T YOU forget it. Scratch along live

"You'll learn lots when you've mar

calm superiority.
ON sometimes they call him West,
n sometimes they call him Tommy
White. Put 'em ali in, if you want to,
and charge the bill to his nibs here
The clerk made out his bill, and "his
niDs' paid it with sigh.
ON now start us for the nearest JUS
tice, an We'll get nearer marriage n this

They were started, and ten minutes
later they emerged happy, beaming
