Havana are the chigoe, or "jigger,"
which burrows beneath ones toe-nnils
and lays eggs which develop fostering
sores; the scorpion and the centiped.
In Cuba the scorpion develops into
pest, especially In the country districts:
and, together with the centiped. is a
foe with which the Spanish soldiery
are compelled to reckon. Both the
centiped and scorpion hide beneath rot
ten wood, the trash" of the yard and
canefield and fallen leaves. The bite
of neither Is sufficient to cause DEATH
in an adult, but many children have
been killed by them in every island Of
the West Indies.
THESE two are the worst, ard it would
seem AS though they were endowed
with almost superhuman instincts, for
they appear at times and In places
when and where least expected. The
centiped moves with the rapidity OF a
streak of light. leaving behind tiff 1t

A Wise Word to Mothers.

When the school days are finished
and the home coming over, many girls
are more or less discontended in the
home because there seems no special
place for them to fill. In school they
have had duties and occupat tions, and
have become accustomed to regular
hours Of employment.
Wise Is the mother who at this try
ing time is willing to make a place in
the house for the little wouldbe re-
former, or the enthusiast who would
like to put into practice some way her
ideas of house keeping and home-mak-
ing. Let the new ways and the new
ideas be tried, and show some hospi-
tality to them and some sympathy to
,ther views than your own.
A division of labors and responsible
tiles is happier way Of meeting the
difficulty than a giving up and over
of one's ideas and domain to the per
haps overzealous young woman who
ahould have gained tact and sympathy
and some knowledge of how to live
happily with others If her school days
have been Of any value. Encourage
her to use her gifts, not only in her
own home, but for others. The New
York Evening Post says that the girl
who has plenty Of room for expansion
In her own home Is usually the least
anxious to try hone-making under an
other roof

Coax a Stubborn Horae.

Some horses will stubornly refuse to
take the bit. A boy with Shetland
pony hit upon a novel method of in
ducing a stubborn animal to allow of
inserting the bit in its mouth. He kept
a vial of molasses on a shelf in the
stall. and rubbed few drops on the Bit
every time he put the bride on the
pony After a while the pony asso-
ciated the molasses with the BIT, and
as horses are fond of sweets, he showed
less reluctance as he was thus reward
ed every time he submitted. Kindness
conquered in his case, and the sugges-
ton of little molasses on the bit Is ons
that may be followed.

Then he rowed so as to cut off the new

and with a quick movement seized II

Thoroughly frightened, the animal

water much faster than he could have

to one wears confinement. with depriva-
ton of all privileges, including the three

dets return to barracks Rand will also be
obliged to walk tour of guard duty every
Saturday afternoon. while the rest OF the
cadets are at liberty.
Rand's severe sentence has struck terror
into the hearts ofall the would-be hazars. The
evidence did not directly connect him with
the hazing of the two "piebes," and he made
a strong defense to substantiate his denial.
His sentence may also interfere with bis

Of his class, but the hazing episode will seri-
