SCORPION BY MAIL.
Animal Had Crawied in the Pamphlet
 while at Jamaica.

while at Jamaica.
 A few days ago c. G. Lloyd, the bot anist, received through the mail a pamphlet issued by the botanical de- partment of the colonial government of the island of Jamaica Upon re- moving the wrapper and strengthening out the folds of the pamphlet there was disclosed the remains of a deadly SCOT pfon. It is characteristic of this ven- omous insect to seek hiding place in anything of tubular shape which will give it the opportunity of crawling to the far end of it's castle and there awaiting the chance of giving some unsusDeeting person a glimpse of the River Styx. h this case the scorpion, while proWling around among the mail sacks in the Kingston postoffice, dis cd8ered the pamphlet and immediately crawled into the opening. Unfortu- nately for 'shis scorpionship," or fortu- nately for some mail clerk, the pam ph1et was placed under a pile of mail matter in the sack, with the result that the insect was f1attened out. MT. Lloyd saw in an instant the nature of the foreign corpse. and wisely put it aside dian, the only good scorpion is dead one, and not even a hardened coroner would dare to sit on one if the thing showed evidences of playing 'possum. The weight on this scorpion was so heavy that his tail took the familiar curve it assumes when the business end is ready to go to work. The 'stinger' is forced out to it's full length. MT. Lloyd says that this is only an in~ stance of how insects are accidentally transmitted from one part of the world to another. The accompanying danger is correspondingly great to those who handle the mail matter.-Cincinnatt Enquirer.
 distributing Revenue Stamps.
 Washington special Chicago Jour- nal: The work of distributing the mi,~ lions of internal revenue stamps over the country is performed in two ways TheI are bought by private individuals in nB1 900 lots, to be retailed by them at the lrofft of 1 per cent permitted by the law. The other way is by special stamp commissioners appointed and paid by the revenue department About 300 such agents are maintained in the principal business centers throughout the country. Commissioner Wilson says larger commission should be allowed for distributing the stamps. Banks are quite unanimous in refusing to handle them, and the force of special stamp distributors has had to be greatly increased. The com mission at one time was 5 per cent, and finally it was cut down to i per cent.

BlueiacSets in a Hansom.

When two handsome, smooth-faced, smiling young bluejaekets jumped into a hanson for little spin, they set tied back into the cushions with evil dent enjoyment of sitting thus in the stern sheets instead of laboring at the oar. The cabmau let down the win dows on both sides to give the boys nlenty of air. Then he mcanted to his seat. and awaY they went, rounding the first corner they came to close hauled on the starboard tack, and sail ing down Broadway at forty knots an hour.

Burial Alive sTade Impossible.

All sorts of devices have been con- trived to prevent people being buried alive, and many surgeons and physi- clans have promulgated methods by which the presence of death could be absolutely determined. Cost and un- certainty, however, have usually yiti- ated these ideas, or have, at least, pre- vented their general adoption. Spe- cially constructed graves proved to be very high priced, and the most care fully devised methods of the doctors sometimes failed to detetts the presence of life in a body which afterward sat up, talked and lived. The latest in- vention of this kind seems to be free from these two disadVantages-tt is distinctly cheap and appears to be en- tire1y certain. The only objection that can be found to it, indeed. is that it preeludes embalming, but the inventor is at much pains to demonstrate that far more people are prematurely en- balmed than are buried alive. His in- vention, he says, guards against this danger, too All that is necessary for LilV SQGCGSS1QI 0pGt dl1oiI u I9Ao 0S- troit invention is an ordinary air-tight casket, some lengths of stoyepipe and the body of a person whose death is in dispute. Henry Booth, the inventor, points out that many death is caused by the premature exposure of the body to cold. He therefore directs that when death is supposed to have occurred the windows should not be opened; neither should the body be stripped.
 Choked on a Lozenge.
 Oshkosh (Wis9 spe. Chicago Chron- icle: o. R. Ryan, travelling man in the employ of the Lowe Silverware Manufacturing Company of Chicago, died suddenly and in great agony at the Athearn the other evening. He had been ailing with sore throat, and "a bell boy, who answered a hurried call to his room, found him gasping and writhing in agony. He told the doc tors a lozenge he attempted to swal- low had "gone the wrong way" All efforts to relieve failed and he died apparently from suffoeatien.
 Toy Watch Swallowed.
 A toy watch, about the size of a quarter, swallowed by Alma Todt, 3 years old, of 225 North Asland avenue, was located in the pit of her stomach by means of X rays. The watch would have caused death ultimately. The little girl is in precarious condition and a surgical operation will be neces- sary to remove the timepiece. The little girl swallowed the watch while playing in the parlor of her home. She held it dangling from a chain, then placed it in her mouth. Tn some way the fastening became loosened and she started coughing, forcing it down her throat-Chieago Chronicle.
