Tiny Scorpion-like Crabs a Deadly Foe to Houseflies. To the naturalist or to any one ac- customed to observe nature elosely the fact s apparent that the problems of existence are proportionately the same in every form or stratum of life. Even the common housefly, which seemingly has nothing else to do but to crawl lazily over whatever is left uncovered and then go happily on its way, doing its best te bring about an affiliation between the clean and the unclean, oc- casionally meets its Nemesis in the form of a tiny crablike creature which -attaches itself to the fly’s legs. These little creatures are known to the scientists as pseudo scorpiomns, or chelifers, says the Popular Science Monthly. They may sometimes be found between the leaves of old books that have stood unused for a long time and also beneath the bark of trees and in mosses. Although they are called false scor- plons, they resemble the true scorpion closely in general structure except for their minute size. But they have no poison gland as the' true scorpions have. They attach themselves to other insects also, but they seem to be the special pest of the houseflies. Scien- tists suppose that they seize the fiy’s leg and hold on until the fly dies, either worried or frightened to death by the undesirable presence. When the fly is dead the Mttle creature feeds on the body. TRACING A CRIMINAL. The Most Expert Will Leave Some Mark That Betrays Him. Successful criminals nearly always specialize in their work, and it is ow- ing to this fact that detectives in many cases. are able to track them down. says the Philadelphia Ledger. Not only do criminals make a practice of committing one parti-ular style of crime, but the methods professional crooks employ are practically always on the same plan. ‘One burglar, for instance. will al ways enter through the fanlizht over the front door of a shop, another by breaking in at the back. Most burglars. too, will continually repeat a burgiary in the same neighborhood. It is by carefully observing and not- ing the special systems notorious crooks adopt that detectives can often effect their arrests. Many a time a burgiary Znnnnn we own them. bas occurred and the ‘criminal Vafish- ed, ‘leaving apparently no marks by which he could be traced, and police officials have been able to produce him in court within a few days, to the utter astonishment of all conceened. It does not matter how subtle or careful a criminal may be, he always leaves some betraying sign behind for the well informed detective to act upon. The Moral of the Story. Professer John Spencer Bassett, au- thor of “A Life of Andrew Jackson,” in one of his lectures at Smith college, repeated a well known story in regard to Stephen A. Douglas, closing with a morul . which aroused pecullar interest. Douglas, as the narrative runs, was once sitting in a profound sleep in the corridor of the capito! when Adeline Cutts, a Washington belle, passed by. She did not know ‘the sleeper,.but was struck with compassion on seeing such a splendidly intellectual face under such conditions, and, stooping down, laid her handkerchief over it to pro- tect it from the flies. = Douglas. on awakening found the handkerchief, sought the owner and eventually mar- ried her. There was a pause, and then the professor added: “Young la- dies, the moral of this story -is, have your pocket hapdkerchief marked.” History of the Word “Telegram.” In the reminiscences of Frederick Seward, son of William H. Seward, he tells of the day in the office of the Albany Evening Journal, edited by Thurlow Weed, the political Warwick of his time, when the word “telegram”™ was first used in that paper. Indeed, it is intimated tbar the word was there coined by one E. P. Smith and soon taken up and used generally in England as well as in the United States. To pronounce on the validity of this claim, who is competent? But it is always interesting to get a side light on the paternity of a word.— Christian Science Monitor. His Surprise. “Learn to cook, darling, and TI'll give you a surprise,” said a tightwad to his wife. She took a six months’ cooking course and then brought home her diploma proudly. She could now cook like an angel. “Bring on my surprise,” she said. ““This is it,” said her husband, smil- Ing, and he rang for the cook and dis- charged her then and there. A Rugged Am n.

In the angle between the Kings and Kern canyons lies’a woodland empire besidé Which the Harz and Black for- est of Germany would appear almost diminutive. Within the borders of the Sequoia National park and the General Grant National park near by there are no fewer than 1,166,000 sequoia trees, and of these 12,000 are more than ten feet in diameter. In the Sequoia Na- tional park stands the largest tree in the world—not the tallest, but the larg- est—the General Sherman tree, with a diameter of 36.5 feet and a height of 2799 feet. Its massive trunk and branches contain about 1,000,000 feet of lumber, board measure. This is equal to the amount of lumber that is cut from forty acres of average Minne- sota timberland.—Argonaut. Self Convicted. “Say, pa,” queried small “what 1s gossiping, mywuy?" “Gossiping, my son,” replied the old man, “if we get right down to the plain, unvarnished facts, islying.

Bobby, Too Much Practice. “Does your minister practice what he preaches?” the newcomer questioned. “He does,” the citizen answered, with a sigh, “and I'd be perfectly willing to have him stop.

Maximilian said that as he es- teemed them both alike it was impos- sible to choose between them and therefore their own prowess must de- cide it; but, being unwilling to risk the oss of either by engaging themr in deadly combat, he ordered a large sack |. to be brought and declared that he who }' should put his rival into it should have his fair Helena. And this whimsical combat was actually performed in the presence of the imperial court and lasted an hour. The unhappy Spanish nobleman was first overcome, and the German succeeded in enveloping him. in the sack, putting him upon his back and laying him at the emperor’s feet. ‘This comical combat is said to be the origin of the phrase “Give him the sack,” so common in the literature of courting. ¥ SomethingIn This: “You women are-always:spending money for preparations to make your- selves: better-looking;* growled Mr. Twobble.* “I guess that’s true, my-dear,” plied Mrs. Twobble sweetly.- #Now, youshardly. ever: ‘See & man deing that.” %“No, because ninety-nine out of a htindred realige that'the quest of beau- :yu is hopeless.”—Birmingham Age-Her- re- Legal Blanks Justice Village School Blanks.
