Scorpions.

The natives of Lucca, in Italy, assert that the scorpion will destroy itself if exposed to a sudden light, and 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 of 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 tumble1 below which 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 8 number of times.
 'This state having lasted for minute or more, the animal suddenly became quiet, and turning its tail, or the hinder part of it's body. over its back, brought it's recurved sting down upon the mid dle of the head, and piercing it forcibly in few seconds became quite motion less, and, in fact, quite dead. This ob- servation was repeated very frequently in truth, it 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. !" It is known that scorpions kill themselves when surrounded by ring of fire.

The Child In the Baaket.

The vigilance of an old time customs official, it may be said, came perhaps within an ace of changing the course of French history. One day a mother who had been to a country house near Mar seilles returned with her son to Mar seilles. It was twilight. The child, 8 years old, had been put in peach bas- ket borne by donkey, and the mother, fearing the child might take cold-it was in November-had covered the boy with thick brown shawl. Tired with running around the country all day, cozy and warm under the thick shawl, the child was soon asleep and hidden by the sides of the basket. When the city gates were neared, the mother, forget ting all about the child, walked dis tance behind the donkey and did not make him stop at the custom house to be searched. The customs officer, seeing the donkey jog on without stopping, suspected that he was laden with snug gled goods and ran after him to thrust his sharp steel probe through the bas- ket. Luckily the mother observed him, ran forward and screamed: Don't use your probe. My child is in the basket. The child was Adolphe Thiers. New York World.

Ring the Chestnut Bell.
ON the Lansing Republican.

From the Lansing Republican.
What awful crimes the republicans did
commit! Listen to Wilson's indictment in
his speech on presenting his bogus tariff
bill:
New and heavier taxes were laid on the
wooden clothing of the poor man, so inds-
pensable to health and his productive
energy. Sugar was untaxed to give the
American working man free breakfast
table, but new taxes were placed on his cups
and saucers, his plates and dishes, his coffee
pot, his knives and forks, his food and his
table cover"
If Mr.. Wilson is not born fool, as he
evidently is natural demagogue, he knows
there IS not an article that he enumerates
that Is not now as cheap or cheaper as it
ever was in the history of the nation See
him standing up before the world and re-
peating the old chestnut that was the burden
of democratic argument In 1892. Here are
the articles named which the democratic
papers and, stump orators the told us the
Mckinley bill would make so dear that the
''poor man" would not be able to get food
to eat or dishes to eat from. The ''poor
man" who is now suffering from the tariff
reformers' determination to repeal the Nc
Kinley tariff will probably fully appreciate
Mr.. Wilson's reminder of the bug bear they
held before them in 1892.

many who would have gladly availed them
selves of his offer to be mistake. Never
theless it was fact; and already the 10000
have applied and are already taking the
first months treatment. The elaborate
preparations which the doctor made. and
the great number of assistants required to
carry on this undertaking, makes it pos
sible for him to extend the number to ~,
600. Therefore 1000 more names will be
accepted as regular patients. All that is
required of the patient is to send name and
address to Dr. s. b. Hartman, Columbus,
Ohio, and complete directions for the first
months treatment will be sent at once. No
charge is made at any time.
