The natives Of Lucca. in Italy, assert
that the scorpion will destroy itself il
exposed to a sudden light, and a writer
in Nature said that his informant and
her friends, while residing during the
summer months at the baths of Lucca,
were much annoyed by the intrusion CT
small black scorpions into the house
and their being secreted among the bed
clothes, in shoes and in other articles of
dress; that they soon became adopts in
catching the scorpions and disposing of
them in the manner suggested. "This
consisted in confning the animal under
an inverted drinking glass or tumbler
below which a card was inserted when
the capture was made and then waiting
till dark, suddenly bringing the light of
a candle near to the glass in which the
animal was confined No sooner was
this done than the scorpion invariably
showed signs Of great excitement, run
ming round and round the interior OF
the tumbler with reckless velocity for a

Poisoning race Horses.

It may we'll be boast of the Ameri-
can turf that the practice of getting
at" race horse has never been very
common here, and it is now several
years since the last we'll authenticated
case of poisoning occurred at Saratoga
This recalls the fact that the English
turf has been notorious for such sensa-
tions. Early in the century four crack
racers were poisoned at Newmarket,
and two men were arrested. The prin-
cipal in the matter escaped on techni-
cality, but was rearrested on another
charge of horse poisoning and was
eventually hanged
The st. Leger favorite of 1881, a
horse named Marcus, was poisoned on
the day before the race. He was just
able to run, but finished last and died
soon afterward. The perpetrator was
never discovered.
Even more sensational, was the ''ho.
cusing" Of Lanercost. the first winner
Of the Cambridgeshire, who was in 1S42
considered a certain winner Of the AS
cot cup. He was poisoned, but, like
Marcus, was able to run and finished
last He did not die, however, but was
retired to the stud. New York Herald.

1HE WHITE RUBBER eoAT.

Lord Byron looks with naughty stare
Straight out from the shelf at me,
With the handsomest wave 70 his smooth
bisque hair
That an artist would care TO see.
And the proudest curl 10 his silent lip,
And the coolest and lofiiest smile,
With his head set back at q lordly tip
Ger that collar Of fAring style.
And down in the corner Of that same shelf
As meek as a goat might be. /
white rubber goat-ashamed Of himself
Stands wabbling his beard at me.
A white rubber goat that happened to know
Has a wonderful whistle somewhere
Concealed in the region that's hid below
The wealth OF his rubber hair.
The white rubber goat is hnmely goat,
With eyes that are bloodshot and red,
And lumpy whiskers that hang from his throat
In bunch like beard Of lead,
And the voice that he shrieks from his stomach
is shrin
And his figure is awkward and squat,
An errand which Byron cannot.
oh. Byron. look down with your cold, bisque
eye
And scorn the white goat II you WILL
| You never can quiet my baby's cry
With that countenance naughty and chill.
This critic of art with her rosy fist
VIII pass you all scornfully by
| For the goat whose red mouth into white has
been kissed
And whose voice is a squeeze whistles cry.

Couldn't Smell In the Dark.

An old gentleman too impatient for
his hot water and light tc be brought
rushed into the kitchen, seized hold of
the first pan on the stove and dashed
away with it to his dark room. On
plunging his hands into the wash
hand basin he was amazed to find that
it contained something thicker and
stickier than water-that he had, in
fact, spoiled the first course of his din
ner by trying to wash in the soup.
Boiling over with passion, he began
to upbraid his wife, and on her suggest
ing that he might have smelled it was
soup he thundered, "How in the name
of fortune could I smell in the dark?'

HAD TO GIVE BONDS.
A Delaware Marriage Formally That
Struck Terror TO One bridegroom.

a Delaware Marriage Formally That
Struck Terror to One Bridegroom
To get married seems an easy thing
to the young man whose fancy lightly
turns to thoughts of love, but when it
comes to the actual ceremony there are
a thousand and one terrors which sur
round and threaten to overcome him.
Marriage in some states is easy. In
others it is difficult as obtaining a di-
yorce.
A we'll known Philadelphian was
about to be married to a beautiful
young woman who lived in the state of
Delaware, He had no idea that the mar
riage laws of that state were of an ap-
palling nature He had secured his H.
cense and thought that was all that was
necessary.
"Have you filed your bond yetT" said
some one to him the day before the wed.
ding.
WHAT" gasped he.
Your bond," repeated the question
er. "You know every man who is mar
ried in this state has to file bond for
the protectlon OF the state.
The bridegroom was rather dubious,
but was finally persuaded that this was
a fact.
"I'n see lawyer about it in the
morning." said he. So he went to o
friend, who was legal light, and said:
'See here. They tell me 1 have to
give a bond to the state when I get
married."
Certainly. Haven't you done sop
in surprised way.
| F"No; 1 never heard of such a thing
before. What kind Of bond is it?'
"Oh, any real estate will do"
"But haven't any real estate"
The lawyer looked at him q moment.
Then he solemnly said:
Haven't you any friends who own
property?"
None that care to ask to bind il
up that way. / can't ask my brides
relatives, you know"
His friend looked at him pityingly.
"You can't postpone the wedding, Can
you?"
"WhaS!" fairly shrieked the unfor.
tunate.
''Of course, Of course not" said the
legal light soothingly. But the poor
bridegroom looked stricken.
"I'll tell you what I'll do, old man.
I'll tend to the matter for you. Don't
give yourself any more concern about
it."
The young man about to be married
grasped his hand. He could not speak
for moment, and then he poured forth
his thanks. He picked up his hat in q
relieved sort of way and walked to the
door. Then he turned.
'By the way, forgot to ask you how
large is the amount of the bond re-
quired?"
Fifty cents" said the lawyer.

in a few seconds became quite motion
less, and, in fact, quite dead This OBJ
servation was repeated very frequently
in truth, il was adopted as the best
plan Of getting rid Of the pests, and the
young people were in the habit of han
ding them with impunity Immediately
after they were so killed and of preserv-
ing many Of them as curiosities. 1t is
known that scorpions kill themselves
