There is one little drawback to the delights of
Lake Como One morning on meeting my friends
at breakfast found a lady looking very pale and
on enquiry learnt that she had Just found and
Killed scorpion upon the wall of her bed-cham-
ber reproached her for not keeping it to show
me, and on returning to my room made memo
randum ofthe incident, but as closed myportfolo,
something fell from it on the floor, and on looking
down | saw another plump scorpion, shaped much
like young lobster, padding off as fast as posi-
bic. of course committed murder upon him
lnstantaneously, and then showed him to the
landlord, but he asserted with perfect panto-
mime of gestculations that there were no more
in his house, and that this one must have entered
through the window. afterwards, however,
found another of the venomous reptiles, but the
chief evil was the annoyance of being compelled
to examine so carefully with violent shakings all
boots, slippers and clothes before putting them on.
To live in this constant fear is certainly very un-
pleasant; but, as even Paradise had its serpent,
why should not the Lago di Como have Its
scorpions w. NJ. G.
