How They Sometimes Use 1t on Them

DR.. Allen Thomson has contributed
the following narrative of acts
observed by Mr.. B. F. Hutch
1nson while residing during the
summer months at the baths Of Sulla,
In Italy. Mr.. Hutchinson and his fam
lily were much annoyed by the fire.
quent intrusion Of small black scorpions
in the house, which secreted themselves
among the bedclothes, in shoes, and in
other articles of dress.
1t thus became necessary to be con-
stantly on the watch for these trouble
some creatures. and to take means for
their removal and destruction. Having
been informed by the natives Of the
place that the scorpion would destroy
itself II exposed to sudden light, my
informant and her friends soon became
adopts in catching the scorpions and
disposing of them in the manner sug-
gested.
This consisted in confirming the ami

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 con-

the scorpion invariably showed signs of
great excitement, running round and
round the interior of the tumbler with
reckless velocity for number Vt times.
This state having lasted for a minute
or more, the animal suddenly Becsme

DIED OF GRIEF.
That Is What Happened to Dog and
Monkey.

From Youths Companion.
The Duke of Hamilton had favorite
bulldog called Dumping, which used
to accompany his master on his daily
walks or drives. One day, however, the
duke left Dumping at home, and took
a younger dog with him. From the mo-
ment that Dumping saw his rival get
into the carriage and drive off he re-
fused to eat, and began to pine.
dog doctor was summoned, but
failed to detect any symptoms of III
ness. At length he asked whether any
thing unusual had happened to disturb
the dogs routine of life. The servant
then told him how, for the first time,
Dumping had been left behind by his
master.
Il can do nothing for him. exclaimed
the doctor THE poor fellows heart Is
broken"
Dumping never recovered from the
blow to his affections, and in short
time died of grief.
Sir George Ouseley gives remark
able instance of similar sensitiveness
displayed by a monkey. The animal
was pet of the captains and favor
lite with the whole crew of the man-of-
war that took Sir George out as an am
bassador to Persia, but like all his spe-
cies, was full of mischief.
one morning Vne monkey ldSHeu the
ships goat to the tackle of a gun, and
MIXED her into a stiff-glazed marine
hat The captain, who caught him in
the very act, gave orders that for a
week no one should pet the monkey or
in any way take the slightest notice
of him.
The monkey went about wistfully
seeking the attentions to which he had
been accustomed, but none of his old
friends had a word or a look for him.
His most coaxing and engaging airs
failed to attract the least attention.
For two days he bore his punishment,
but on the morning of the third, find
ing himself still in disgrace, he sprung
upon the bulwark, and placing both
hands over his head, gave one pitiful
cry, and then leaped into the sea and
was seen no more.
Such exquisite sensitiveness on the
part of dumb animals certainly consti-
tutes powerful claim on human SYM
pathy. and entities them to kind and
considerable treatment at the hands of
those to whom they offer their loyal
affection.

different points in the flooded district and
all are substantially the same-that an
immense amount of damage has been done
and at this time an accurate estimate is
impossible. Reports from Bryan say the
wreck in that vicinity is unparalleled.

for an officer ever to grow too familiar
with his men, no matter how good they
are; and it is, of course. the greatest pos
sible mistake to seek popularity either by
showing weakness or by mo1lycoddling
the men. They will never respect a COM
mander who does not enforce discipline,
who does not know his duty and who is
not willing both himself to encounter and
to make them encounter every species of
danger and hardship when necessary.
The soldiers who do not feel this way are
not worthy of the name and should be
handled with iron severity until they be-
come fighting men, and not shams.-

How Bow LEGS ARE MADE.-Moth-
ers, in training their little ones to walk,
seem never to think of how the bones
grow; that the bones in child's leg
are soft, half cartilaginous, and that it
is all easy thing to bend them. Hence
the need of being careful about having
their children walk too soon, or of
keeping them on their feet too long
when they are first learning to walk.
The senseless conduct of many parents
in urging their children to walk pre-
maturely is productive of lasting in
jury. Long before soft bones ought to
have any strain put upon them, you
will see these poor infants made to
stand, and even to walk, and by the
time they are IA or 16 months old
their legs are bent very considerably.
Pitifnl and permanent deformities pro-
duced in this way are seen on every
hand. Indeed, a person whose legs
have not been bent, more or less, either
outward or inward, by fond parental
ambition, is almost an exception
among us. Under year let the child
creep; but do not let it walk, seldom,
indeed, stand, and then only for a mo-
ment, and from year to 1S or ~
months do not encourage it to walk
much, still less set it up on its feet to
make it walk.-Good Health.

AN OBLIGING HERo.-A woman
who had visited one of the hospitals
in the south last summer has been tell
ing a story since she came back to
Washington which is good, if true,
and as good, perhaps, if it isn't true,
says the Washington Post.
While going through the hospital in
question, 80 she narrates the incident,
a busy-looking, duty-loving woman
hustled up to one of the wounded SOL
diers, who lay gazing at the ceiling
above his cot.
"Can't I do something for you, my
poor fellow ?" said the woman implor-
ingly.
The "poor fellow" looked up Ian
guidly. The only things he really
wanted just at that time were his dis
charge and box of cigars. When he
saw the strained and anxious look on
the good woman's face, however, he
felt sorry for her, and with perfect
sang froid, he replied:
"Why, yes; you can wash my face
if you want to-"
"I'd be only too glad to-" grasped
the visitor, eagerly.
GAIL right" said the cavalier gal
lantly, "go ahead. It's been washed
81 times already today; but I don't
mind going through it again if it'll
make you any happier"

How ONE PHYSICIAN TREATS
BURNs.-The doctor hears great out
cry as he nears a boarding house and
someone calls: "Run for the doctor,
quick :" but he is at hand, and goes
within. A child has been playing near
the stove while the breakfast was in
preparation, and succeeded in deposit
ing on its abdomen part of the con-
tents of q dish of hot gravy. The re-
suit is a blister as large as a mans
hand, extending from umbilicus to
epigastrium; child is two years old.
Its writings are very similar to con-
vulsions, its screams arousing every
one in the house. The doctor, cool
and collected in that babel of confu-
sion, takes from the shelf an unbroken
package of soda, pours half of its con-
tents into tin washdish, adds enough
water to this to make a thick paste,
and covers the burn with the mixture
making the application half an inch
thick. AS soon as this is applied the
child stops crying and is free from
pain. Leaving orders to keep the child
quiet all day, and not to allow the
soda to become dry for eight hours, he
quietly leaves the room.-Dr. c. S.
Cope.

"GoING TO BED" ETIQUETTE.-lt
is always a debatable point of etiquette
whether hostess or guest make the
first movement to 60 to bed, and thus
break up the evening gathering. The
guest may be overcome with fatigue
from a days journey, the host may
be fidgeting under the strain of enter
tanning, and longing for the guest to
show some signs by which he can
gracefully and Hospitality suggest "that
it is growing late," yet neither quite
likes to appear, as they think, impo-
lite. In fact, many visitors have suf-
fered agonies in trying to be agreeable,
while the host and hostess were doing
their best to suppress their yawns and
to "make conversation" until chance
offered a solution 10 the difficulty.
There is however, but one rule to be
followed in this relationship of host
and hostess and the hour of retirement.
The host or hostess must always take
the initiative and say an appropriate
word as to the lateness of the hour
and the desirability of going to bed.

There are some beautiful features
connected with this growth-the COM
pany that builds a factory erects the
church and the school house simultan-
eously; contributing both to the CON-
munity for the we'll being of both
young and old,
The agricultural products of South
Carolina are growing steadily. They
now amount to a round $50,000,000
ANNUALLY. The truck gardens along
the seashore give employment to a
very great many of the young colored
people, and this is growing and will
continue to grow.
Many new industries can be added,
and will be added as fast as the same
intelligence addresses itself to produc-
tions of the soil, as now addresses itself
to the manufacture of cotton. A few
years ago, when cotton sold at hig her
price, the meats used by the South
Carolina people came from the north
west. The most of the bacon used in
the state is now produced in the state.
The horse, cattle and sheep industries
can be, and will be very great extend
ed.
The South Carolinian can furnish the
early spring lamb for the New York
market with as great facility as be
now furnishes early peas and straw
berries.
Of course, the love of the Southdown
sheep must be greater before this comes
about than affection for the "yellow
dog" The family will find that a
small flock of sheep is kept as cheaply
as small pack of dogs, and when this
is thoroughly realized, public sentiment
will protect the flock.
There is an industry in its extremist
infancy that was introduced into this
state generation ago. Within late
years it has been in the hands of a
gentleman of means and education.
The tea plant is as promising to the
latitude of South Carolina as the sugar
beet is to the 43d parallel. The ques-
ton, of course, that has required solu-
Lion is that of labor. DR.. Shepard
who is experimenting, is a wise man
and a philanthropist. He built q
school house in the middle of SO acres
of tea plants, hired competent teach
er at his own expense, proposed to his
colored neighbors that he would edu'
cate the children free and employ them
to pick his tea and pay them for the
work.
He made $500 pounds of an extra
quality of black lea last year, for all
of which he found ready market al
high prices. At present he will moi
attempt to compete with the cheaper
teas of the Orient; but he can success
fully compete with the higher-priced
teas and hopes soon to make such teas
as are never brought to the United
States, because the very finest teas
cannot be imported.
The duty put on tea by the last
congress, through the influence OF
Senator Tillman, gives him encourage
ment, and a very little more duty
would equalize the conditions in the
United States aud Asia, and the de-
partpent of agriculture will interest
itself with DR.. Shepard, so as to have
complete experimentation made, noted
and published in order that principles
may become common property and
household words when South Carolina
lis ready to push this industry.

TREATMENT For FAINTING.-Al-
though fainting is not common in
children, young girls may be subject
to such attacks. When one faints, it
is owing to a temporary weak action
of the heart, so that sufficient blood is
MOI pumped to the brain to maintain
consciousness. The face becomes very
pale, and the extremities are cold.
Usually all that is necessary is to place
the person fiat on her back, which will
ease the action of the heart, while
gravitation aids in restoring the pro-
er amount of blood to the brain. New
er allow fainting person to remain in
an upright position, as death, has thus
resulted from heart failure. Sprinkle
few drops of cold water upon the
face and cautiously holding spirits OF
harthorn under the nose will aid, by
reflex action, in restoring the func-
tions of heart and brain. Cold water
should never be poured upon a faint
ing person, and everything beyond
the first shock is depressing and should
hence be avoided.
