Deadly Work of Scorpion.

Some scorpion bites cause little
more than burning pain and numbness
in the part affected for a few days.
But the more poisonous varieties cause
death, and that especially, when
they sting young children or de-
bilitated old people. The lower class
es of people in Mexico suffer more than
the well-to-do, because of their custom
of going about half naked most of the

said that he had been approached by

Mr.. Ward said he answered that he
would consider the proposition IL the

That was as far as negotiations had

MERMAID SWlMS
 IN LOCAL HARB0R

Miss Annie Morecroft who with Miss Helen Gaudreau is appearing at Polls theatre this week, gave an exhibition of fancy swimming and diving in the Bridgeport harbor about o'clock last night, and also showed how a profes- sional life saver rescues drowning person Miss Morecroft has record for rescues at the Boston beaches, and has many medals for long distance and fancy swimming.
 When only 14 years of age she swan from Boston harbor to Nahant, a distance of more than IA miles. She once attempted to swim from Boston harbor to Boston light. but wind and tide conditions were not favorable and her seconds who were following her in a power boat forced her to de- sist, although she pluckily wished to continue.
 Yesterday a crowd which packed every available space on the Strstford avenue bridge, watched her do tricks in the water for more than an hour. As a finale she illustrated the method used by professional life savers in res clIing drowning persons.
 Swimming on her back and carrying a seventeen years old boy who had gone into the water with her she crossed the head of the harbor to the RosedaIe wharf. Many persons thought the idea was to stage a fake rescue but it was only intended to show Miss Morecroft's prowess as a life guard.

THE SPRING GNoMEs.

(By Virginia yaIe.)
 Once upon a time the Gnomes woke one morning and found that it was
 warm and sunny and they said to each other: Now we have got to work | very hard and get everything ready So they called the brown Guomes, the green Gnomes and the flower Gnomes and told them that they must get to work at once. The brown Gnomes had to work among the dead leaves, cleaning them l up and putting them in piles to be carried away later and get every
 thing ready for the green Gnomes. They came running to the trees and flowers with their pails of green paint and tiny brushes, for you see they had
 to paint every thing green to make
 the grass and trees look pretty. Next came the flower Gnomes. They young flowers which soon reached up their tiny heads and looked about and grew as fast as they could.
 Each day the Gnornes came to see them all end told them how nice they W 6re doing and at last the flowers found that they had grown so tall they could see over into the next gar den. How they liked that for each day a boy and a girl came out to play and sometimes they each had a hoop which they rolled down the path. again 1t was a top which the boy Ls1s tAfs LIE oQAA1 <1A4A CeG11 t1N CT tried hard to grow and grow so they could see all that. the children did.
 One day the children had party

 help them.
 That night the fairy wind came

Constant

Gonstantinople Constanti- tnopIe college in which many lrich Americans are interested, ldedicates on June 3 five new buildings on it's new property l at Arnautkeuy, on the Euro pean shores of the Bosphorus. Work on the construction of these buildings was commenc- ed in the summer of 1910. The property, comprising fffty-four acres Of land, extending up the hillside above the village Of
 Arnautkeuy was acquired by
 the trustees for the college in
 1908. The late Mrs. Henry
 Woods Of Boston was the first
 to subscribe to this enterprise
 with 6 gift Of S50,Ooo. In 1910 E$150,0 ,0OO was contributed by
 Helen Miller Gould, now Mrs.
 Finley J. Shepard, to be used
 for the construction of an ad-
 ministration building. .Subse- #quently Mrs. Shepard added
 $5o,OOO. This hall is to be.
 known as Gould hall and is a
 memorial to the parents of the
 donor. Next to Gould hall stands the refeetory, the gift Of Miss Olivia Phelps Stokes. This
 building is to be known as Mitchell hall. Russell Sage hall was given the summer of 1912 by Mrs.SSage as 8 memor- ia1 to her husband. The total cost of the plant up to date ap- proximates $75O,0OO. In addi- ton. to the above named build ings there is a power house fully equipped with American machinery for supplying heat water and electricity for light
