A CURIOUS SUPERSTITION.

In a former article mentioned some curious superstitions which are still to be found among the people; but here is one of the most curious, which I happened to hear the other day. A clergyman was walking through the outskirts of his parish one evening, when he saw one of his parishioners very busy whitewashing his cottage. The parson, pleased at these somewhat novel signs of cleanliness, called out, Well, Jones, I see you're making your house nice and smart" With a mysterious air, Jones, who had recently taken the cottage, descended from the ladder. and slowly walked to the hedge which separated the garden from the road. That's not 'Xactly the reason why I'm doing of this ere lob,' he whispered, "'but the last two couples as lived in this ere cottage lad dtwins; so says to my missus, I'll talk an white- wash the place. so as there maynt be no infection. Ye see, sir, as ow we got ten of 'em already" Whether the white washing was effectual or not, I have not been able to ascertain Magazine.

SIXTEEN SCORPION BITES.

Winfield S. Reyes, a son of the late General Reyes and mining engineer of this city, has just recovered from a peculiar case of poisioning Several weeks ago he was in Mexico examing some mining properties. The day be- fore he was ready to return to San Francisco he was bitten sixteen times on the right leg between the knee and the ankle. He was not long in as- certaining that he been bitten by an unusually large scorpion. The bites were little red spots at first, but they grew in size and increased in pain while he was hurriedly en route to this city for treatment, When he arrived here his leg was fearfully swollen. The bites had become large red and yellow boils, and the pain was almost un- bearable. The physicians said that if proper treatment had been delayed a day longer he would never recovered. As it was, they had very hard time bfinging him through.-San Francisco Examiner.

TODDY TREES.
They Grow In South America-Beeties
Get Drunk by Tapping bark
Other ArboreaI Tricks.

Nature has her rum shops, her sa-
looms. She produces plants which de-
vote themselves Ia the manufacture and
sale of intoxicants. The South Ameri-
can toddy tree il well known to natural
lists. 1t is well known also 10 the South
American beetles, the oryctCs hercules.
When the latter goes on spree lie never
goes it alone. after the unucighborly
habit Of the human drunhard. He col
lects his friends and acquaintances to
the number of 30 or 10; the vi ole crow d
run their short horns through the bark
Of the toddy tree, revel in the outflow
ing juices and, while inebrated, are
easily caught by the human natives,
says Lippincott's.
The toddy tree parts with its liquor
free of charge. There are other plants
which are less generous. They exact Il O
less penalty thar the death of the I'M
fortunate drunkard. And what do they
do with the body? Strange as il may
seem. they eat it. In this manner they
obtain the food which nourishes them
and snstains their healthful existence.
At the end Of each of their long green
leaves these plants have a pitcher
shaped receptacle. We might style this
the GROWER. but il never needs to be
rushed. II is always full of what with
special appropriateness might be called
bug juice--a wa'try liquor. sweet TO
the taste and inebriating to the senses
Only in fine weather is the GROWER open
for business. On rainy days it is firmly
shut up to keep out the rain that would
dilute and spoil he contents. Natures
saloon keepers do not water their stock.
