Alligators Hard to Eill.
.In alligator's tenacity for life is remarkable.
I have no doubt that when
its brain is pierced by a bullet the
animal does not long survive, but sinks
into deep water, where it cannot be
seen. I have never succeeded in killing
and bagging pn alligator by a shot
in the brain. The structure of the
skull provides so much protection of
the brain, and a bullet might easily be
deflected by the hard bones. It was
not my vocation to go about killing
alligators, but on one occasion I was a
witness to the great difficulty of taking
the animal's life.

the Pointee Indigo Factory, on the
Ganges, and one day -when we returned
from our morning's round in
the jungles after deer and always a
possible tiger or a wolf, we found that
some fishermen had brought in an
alligator about r.ix feet long, securely
bound on a bullock cart. The animal
was still alive, but had evidently been
Beverelv beaten to make him quiet on
the bullock cart, so the order was
given to tie a stout rope around its
loins and to turn it into a small tank
to refresh and recover itself while we
were taking our baths and our breakfasts.
Breakfast over the alligator was
hauled out of the tank, and was quite
lively, so that it had to be fastened to
a tree. Tben operations for killing
it began, but bullets from a small rifle
or an ordinary twelve-bore gun seemed
only to irritate it. A Sontal brought
a large spear, one of the lato venabula
ferro which they use, and drove it
down the alligator's throat into its
vitals, and this had more effect, while
another man got an ax and chopped
away at the neck till the head was
separated from the body. The body
was then cut open, and the heart was
lying on the ground by its side, but
still the tail continued to move. But
here we withdrew, and the mob of
Sont'^s, who had been eagerly waiting,
rushed in with their knives and cut
up the body and ate everything eatable,
so that in a short time there was
nothing left but the skin and bones.?

Hunting Foxes With Dynamite.
A fox hunt with dynamite was the
Hovel sport of farmers near Point
Pleasant, Bucks County, a few days
ago. For a long time the farmers
had suffered from the incursions of
some adroit thieves upon their poultry
reserves. The thefts were so daring,
yet so mysterious, that it was decided
to set a watch. So when John
Swopo heard a racket in his hennery
he ran out. He was just in time to se<>
a big fox, with a nice fat pullet in his
mouth, scamper away. The alarm was
spread, and a number of Farmer
Swope's neighbors assisted him in
tracking the fox. They trailed him
to his den, under a huge rock, and
were then confronted with the problem
of routing him. They got some
dynamite, fired it, and in a few minutes
out came, not one, but four
foxeB, half stunned and blinded.
The animals were killed as fast as they
Appeared and then the den was walled
up.?Philadelphia Record.

Chemical Effects in Freezing.
It has been long known that frost
plays some part in the production of
maple sugar, that a peculiar sweetness
is imparted to potatoes by freezing,
and that persimmons do not lose their
&8tringency and become sweet anH delicious
until after the first frost. A
still more striking instance of phemical
change due to freezing has been
added by a recent observation. The
canaigre roots of Mexico contain so
much tannin that they are likely to
supplant tree barks entirely for industrial
purposes, yet after being frozen,
it is stated, not the slightest trace of
tannin is left. Just how the frost acts
is a problem now to be solved. ?New

folds with a rosette finishes the waist,
below which two long bands of ribbon
trimming descend to the liem of the
seven-gored skirt. The sleeves of the
bodice are of the large leg-o' mntton
size, with close wrists.
The skirt hangs very gracefully and
has an organ-pleated back. The effect
of the bands of ribbon shown in
our picture, terminating in large butterfly
bows, is very novel and pretty.
The skirt is made wide at the hem by
the large pleat at the back. All the
Biimmer materials look well in this design.
The foulards, creponettes, cret>ons
and the ginghams having a stripe
of lace, as well as the cotton batiste*,
and the lawns, and the dotted Swiss
muslins, make up beautifully aft 21- this
design, but if a more expensive dress
be looked for the new taffetas are
charming in this model. There are
many new cottons which show lovely
colors and designs, and which may also
be cited as suitable to the design above
described. Ab regards color, all the
exquisite violet tints and delicate
greens, the "doe," fawn and wood
tints are all fashionably worn. Pale
green, light gray, violet and light red
are most worn of all.

JAPANESE a OWNS.
The prettiest thin dresses are tue
Japanese ones. All the readers of old
romances will remember how the heroines
always wore pineapple gauzes at
their first balls, and the prettiest
gauzes are those imported direct from
Japan.
j One I 6aw was of white, with a heliotrop'e
6tripe, and had been brought
over from Japan in a trading ship a
great many years ago. It had been
laid away in an old trunk, whence it

was brought a few weeks since, with a
lot of other treasures, that until now
have been voted mere lumber. The
dressmaker made it up over a heliooo+in
clir* Att/l Inw Anf WAlRf",.
The gauze itself was gored on the hips,
but gathered very full at the back.
The "waist was fulled in from shoulders
to belt, and was trimmed with broad
ruffles of the same over the shoulders,
and in jabot fashion down the front
of the waist. The customary belt and
sash finished the gown, which had to
wear with it a broad Leghorn hat,
trimmed with heliotrope gauze the
exact color of the heliotrope stripe.
Why heliotrope and white should look
so cool is beyond my comprehension,
but? it certainly does, and is at present
the most fashionable combination of
color.
BLOCSE WAISTS.
Shirt waists are trim aud tidy ; they
give a full figure slim lines. But
everybody can't make graceful connections.
The average woman is hollow
in the back, her skirts sag, and
the waistbands yawn. To cover the
difficulty, the blouse waist has been
adopted. Some of the handsomest
summer silks and open-worked cottons
are now made with a blouse or basque
effect. The waist line is marked, but
the belt need not be over baby-ribbon
width.
SOME !?EW COIFFURES.
To-day th? hair receives greater
care, perhape, than ever, and it submits
to endless changes in arrangement,
but there is next to no falsity in
it The modish woman may change
her coiffure 300 times in nineteen
years, as was 6aid to have done a certain
Roman queen, but it cannot be
rejjroached to her as Martial reproached
a woman of his time: "You

you live in Rome your.hair grows on
the banks of the Rhine.A woman

It is wonderful bow small the fashionable
knot is. Merely large enough
to centre tho lines from nape and
forehead, rather below the crown into
a knot bound round with a golden
circlet.
This circlet is formed of two or
three gold-bound combs, permitting
the wared spaces to be loosened about
the ears or neck, or wherever there
may be a defective form to be hidden.
It rolls loosely oft* thy forehead and
temples and drops half over the ear.
Sometimes it is parted and combed
down over the ears each way, because
great width is the fashion, but not
every face can 6tand the "part." This
width accentuates the oval of the face
andhintuat intellect, and is a long
way better than the high narrow 6tyle,
with its brazen display of the ear and
its suggestion of "rooms to let, unfurnished."

has been spent on the navy,

ships to show for it. They cite the

asking for more. If one 'will carefully
examine the following table he will
readily see where the money is expended.
A modern war vessel oannot
be built for a few thousands of dollarB,
as "was the case a quarter of a century
ago. In fact, the interior fittings of
a modern war vessel cost more than
an old-time frigate, which was built
of wood and propelled by sailB only.
In addition to the contract price of
the vessel, the Government offers
large premiums for speed, which in a
modern cruiser is one of the greatest
factors of efficiency. If the speed
falls below the contract requirement
the Government exacts heavy penalties
from the contractors. When all the
ships now being built are completed,
the United States will have a navy
consisting of forty-five ships of all
classes, from the battle ship Iowa of
11,300 tons displacement to the torpedo
boat Ericsson of 120 tons displacement.

in reality, very low, for the Minneapolis

the Brooklyn 8200,000 in premiums.
This will then give a total cost of eleven
ships building by contract, $20,789,500,
or a total cost of $45,418,100 for
thirty-six ships. In addition to the
above there are nine ships being built
at the various navy yards, or now
completed:

York.
2. Texas, nearly ready for service, Norfolk.

In regard to the speed premiums,
the money has been well spent, for the

that any country would be proud to

Sonr and Sweet on the Same Tree.
"Upon my place at home is an apple
tree, the fruit of which is sweet on
one side and sour on the other," said
C. E. Harrington, of Baltimore, at
the Emery. "It has been known for
many years that these apples existed,
but no one has ever been nble to explain
the phenomenon. The tree in
my yard is an old one, and I do not
believe that it was ever grafted. I
think that it is a peculiar original
kind of fruit. One of these apples is
about the sise of an ordinary 'limber
twig,'one sido being green and the
other having a slight rosy tinge. The
green side is sour enough to put a
person's teeth on edge, while tho
other is sweeter than is usually liked.
Except as a curiosity the fruit is not
very desirable on that account, but I
have submitted it to a number of
leading horticulturists and have ne*er
yet found one who was able to explain
and classify the fruit. "?Cincinnati

A Huge Potato Plantation.
A potato plantation of 700 acres on
which two crops, aggre rating about
50,000 barrels, or 125,000 bushels, are
annually grown, is difficult to imagine.
Such a one exists, however,
and its virgin soil is so rich that
abundant crops are raised without the
use of any fertilizer. This great potato
farm is in Aehwood. Maurv
Conntj, Tenn.. about six miles west
of Columbia and fifteen miles south
of Nashville. It is a part of the old
Polk estate, owned by the ancestors
of President Polk. Colonel William
Polk, originally of North Carolina, a
Revolutionary officer, took up 5000
acres of Government land in 1787 and
'gave each of his sons 1000 acres.
Among the sons was the Rev. Leonidas
Polk, once the Protestant Episcopal
Bishop of Louisiana, who was a Confederate
general during the Civil War
and was killed at the battle of Pine
Mountain, Ga. His 1000 acres and an
equal number owned by one of bis
brothers, were secured by Claweon &
Stevens, a firm composed of two enterprising
young men from Indiana,
about ten year3ago, with the intention
of ultimately using it all for raising
potatoes.

partners set resolutely to work, however,
cleared the land and cultivated
it as fast as possible. The first crop
of the year is from 28,000 to 30,000
barrels, and the second crop, for
which only 500 acres are planted,
from 20,00U to 22,000, making a total
of about 50,000 barrels, or 125,000
bushels a year. Clawson <fc Stevens
employ about 100 colored people,
many of whom are women, and have
eighty-five giant mules. They have a
factory on the plantation in which all
the barrels used by them are made.
Mr. Clawson says their present crop
is unusually large, but that, as the
crops of Kansas and Mississippi are
short, he expects to find ready and
profitable sale for his entire product.

to the sound of the tapping. As long
as the sound is normal, he does nothing

Ambitions lor Fine Coffins.
The first ambition of every Chinese
is to have a splendid coffin. A poor
man will starve himself for years to
have one. It is always received with
great ceremony on its arrival at the
house and is regarded as the most valuable
piece of furniture in the establishment.
It is kept in the place of
honor. No one is ever buried till
there is ready money enough in the
house to do so with out the family
running into debt.
There are many strange customs
connected with the funeral rites. One
of these is the burning at the tomb of
paper horses, idols, umbrellas and
clothes. These are supposed to be
necessary anl useful to the man whei.
he gets to heaven. By being burned 'm ?
they undergo some material resurrection
and meet him there.
