UNWELCOME PASSENGERS.

A British steamship, the Kennel,
which recently arrived at Philadelphia,
laden with logwood, unfortunately
shipped with its cargo a host of most
unwelcome and pestiferOus passen-
gers; namely, scorpions and tarantulas.
Within a day or two after leaving
port the tarantulas and scorpions were
everywhere. They were killed by the
hundred, particularly in the after cab:
in, and so thickly was this portion Of
the ship populated by the vermin that
the officers were unable to sleep below.
''The pests are numerous enough"
said one of the officers, but our imag-
ination made them even more 80. Ev-
cry shadow, every flicker of ligh.
seemed to be a scorpion or arantula
and we felt the prick Of their sings
a good many times when none was
near"
The only relief the crew of the Ken.
net had on their voyage was on the
day before sighting the capes, when
the cold weather caused the disap-
pearance of the noxious creatures from
the decks.
When the cargo was discharged II
was found to be actually alive with
scorpions and tarantulas. The old
sailors on board the Kennel say that
they will never ship in a vessel laden
with logwood again.-Youth'S Compau-

BEAUTY CONTESTS OF VIENNA.
Thrso Interesting Occasio " hen Choice
l. Made by PonuIar Yota.

Thrso Interesting Occasions Whom Choice
Is Made by Popular Vote.
There are three contests among the
pretty girls of Vienna for the prize of
beauty every year, says the San Fran
cisco Argonaut. The first, held on
the summit of Mount Kahlenberg,
takes place on St. Anne's day, and is
attended by all the notables OF the
city, including foreign ambassadors.
Every visitor, on paying a coin equiv
alent to about ten cents, receives a
ticket which entities him to record
one vote for the lady whom he deems
the most beautiful. 1t used to be
open to the fair ones to canvass for
themselves, and many of the most en-
terprising would boldly address a per-
feet stranger, and, with winning
smile. inquire whether he did not
consider her worth q vote; where
upon he would gallantly offer
his ticket. Lately however, that
practice has been stopped and the ut
most that q pretty candidate is Al
lowed to do is to appoint a male can
vasser or to ask you what o'clock it Is
or at what time the votes will be
counted. And the curiosity among
them for information OF that kind is
quite amazing. But it is natural
enough, for beauty prize is as good as
a dowry and throws open the gates OF
matrimony to the crowned one. Peo-
pie from near and far throng to these
contests. Several tirst-class military
bands are performing all the after
noon on the mountain. Toys, ginger
bread, indigestible eatables, flags and
lanterns are offered for sale; all the
ingredients OF regular fair-a Dutch
kermesse- gathered over the
place in abundance; the whole ending
in brilliant display OF fireworks at
night.
At about 10 o'clock all those ladies
admirers enter the brilliantly lighted
hall where the committees are seated.
adorned with many-colored scarves
and badges. The girl approaches the
table. gives her name and the number
OF votes she has reccived-in proof of

pons-and takes numbered ticket

the results are read out: Miss A,
having obtained 53l votes. is entitled
to the first prize-lOO crowns (S2O);
Mss b., with 800 votes. has the sec
ond prize-a silver watch Miss c..
with la votes, receives the third
prize-a silver medal" After this an
nouncement the three successful
grsces come forward. stand on an
elevated platform. and show them
telves to the public, from whom they
receive royal ovation; after which
supper, bocr-drinking. singing, and
harmless mirth bring the friendly con-
test to close toward the early hours

New York'. school Law.

The compulsory education law which was
passed by the last Legislature OF New York
went into effect on the End, and Its en-.
forcement is promised by the municipal
authorities that went into power at the
same time. 1t requires that every child be-
tween six and fourteen years OF age shall
attend continuously during the school year
some recognized Institution. If II shall be
shown that the child Is a truant of its
own will 1t may be sent TO some charitable
The law was designed especially to reach
the foreign born population OF the city who
keep their children from school in order to
the babies Of the household while the
mother Is out at work. 1t is estimated that
as many as 20 per cent OF the school popu-
lation Of New York City are habitually de-
prived Of educational advantages for these
reasons, which augurs Ill for the future well

Although by many believed to be incura-
bic, there is the evidence of hundreds of
living witnesses to the fact that, in all its

bleediugs from the lungs, severe lingering
cough with copious expectoratiou ,iuclud-
ing tubercula- matter, great loss of flesh
and extreme enaciatiou and weakness.
Do you doubt that hundreds OF such cases
reported to us as cured by Golden Med
ical Discovery " were genuine cases of that
dread and fatal disease? You need not take
our word for it They have, in nearly every
instance, been so pronounced by the best
and most experienced home physicians,
who have no interest whatever in mis-
representing them, and who were often
strongly prejudiCed and advised agains,
a trial of Golden Medical Discovery"
but who have been forced to confess that
it surpasses, in curative power over this
fatal rnalady, all other medicines with
which they are acquainted. Nasty cod
liver oil and its dIthy "eruulsious" and
mixtures, had been tried in nearly all these
cases and had either utterly failed to beue-
fit, or had only seemed to benefit little for
a short time. Extract of malt whiskey,
and various preparations of the hypophos-
phites had also been faithfully tried in vain.
The photographs of a large number of
those cured of consumption, bronchitis,
catarrh and kindred rnalades, have been
skillfully reproduced in a book of 100
pages which will be mailed to you, on re-
ceipt of address and six cents in stamps.
