Some of tho Discom..,rts of Living In =
Plxce Like GaerrNro.

Some of tho Discom.,crts of Living In
tIsce Like Gacrrero.
Mr.. F. r. GUERNSEY, describing visit
to Guerrero, says that tbs tarantula is
sometimes found there as big as u mans
two fists. Scorpions arc Of all sizes, bus
the one which does the most harm by its
bite is smallish gray creature. The larger
ones bite SO hard that tho blood flows free
ly, and the infected poison flows on.
There is u little snake called the corallilo,
which is particularly fond of getting In
floors and nesting in ones boots. Its bite
Is fatal Boots should always be inspected
for corallilos before they arc put on-in
Guerrero.
II q scorpion crceps on tho face or hands,
the person so visited should carefully re-
frain from making any movement. he
should allow the horrible insect 10 crawl
just where it will. IL it is not disturbed,
in all likelihood 1t will do no harm; if it
is attacked, it Is quite sure TO sting. The
worst terror to the people Of Guerrero is
neither snakes nor SCORPIONS but the red
ants. Before these insects the people flee
in terror from their houses They leave
nothing behind if they can help it.
An Indian woman rushed out Of her
cabin with her children on the coming Of
tho ants being announced. In her terror
she left her baby behind the house swing
ing in n hammock. 1t was hoped that it
would escape, but when the ants had de-
parted the mother found that tho insects
had crept down the cords of the hammock
and had left of the unfortunate child moth
ing but its bones.
On some Of the Guerrero sugar estates
great lazy looking snakes are kept in the
storerooms to keep rats and mice away
from the sugar loaves. These snakes are
repulsive in appearance, but harmless to
human beings. Not all the places in Mex
leo, however which have an agreeable eli
mate are cursed with insects and rcptilian
pests. Such places as Cuernavaca, in the
state of Morcos, are too high above the
hot plains to suffer from venomous insects,
and yet so much below the cold tableland
that the climate is a perpetual summer.
Cuernavaca unites many Of the advantages
of the tempo. ate zono with all that is de-
lightful and alluring in the tropics.-Bos-
ton Herald.

suppose tho relation between mind and
music is pretty generally admitted and
recognized. On the susceptible person the
influence Of music is often most marked
in producing pleasant frame Of mind, in
calming irritation and even in inducing
Sleep, Tho man "that hath no music in
himself is OF course exempt from such
effects and results, but it would indeed be
a strange and anomalous thing if one of
tho oldest Of the arts should have exhibited
no direct relations to the montal phases Of
Individuals and nations alike. On the
body and working through the mind, of
course, or rather through the nervous sys-
tenn, should say, the influence Of music
has been but imperfeotly studied.
My readers will probably remember how
Canon Hartford undertook of late days to
induce repose in hospital patients by the
playing OF soft music. His efforts in many
cases were crowned with success, and
suppose we may now rank music among
those aids in mental therapeutics the ac-
ton Of which deserves to be more promi-
nently studied than has hitherto been pos
sible.-James Payn in Illustrated London

OLDEST GAME

Was it only croquet they played?
a flash of the eye,
A flush OF the cheek,
AS he asked with waiting mallct,
whether
A tight croquet or roll together.
Was it only chess they played?
A thrill of the pulse,
A faintnsss of heart,
AS he moved the bishop aud cried
'Checkmate, -
And searched brown eyes for another fate.
Was it only these games they played?
The games are all done,
The balls laid away,
The bishop stands by the conquered
queen;
The game was nothing to him, I ween.
All summer another game they played;
Now they try to lay
The playthings away,
But the pieces ara altered and some are
From the side that lost to the side that
won.
Heigho: for this oldest game they played,
For each lost the same,
A heart IN the game;
And now with the summer the game ia
done.
And nothing is lost, for both have won.
