in an underlying pleat at eacli

Tha Florida Alligator* Nearly Extarmlnltr<t
by Ilunlrrs.
Persons who vlnitwl Florida a few j
year* ago and saw the rivers, swamps
ami bayous literally teeming with
countless thousands of alligators, will
be surprised to learn that tlnse large
rcTtfiles are fast becoming extinct. The
constant and wholesale warfare that j
has been waped apainst tiiora Jias i
thinned tht m out ko completely that
unless a halt is soon called their total
extermination Is only a matter of time.
While they were formerly numerous ,
as far north as (ieorpia, they hare
gradually become extinct until now
they are found in grent numl<ers only
alone the coast line of the extreme !
Southern States. In Florida they are I
practically extinct, w'tli the exception 1
of Manatee. Lee. DeSoto and Dade
counties. In the Everglades the spe- j
cies have probably l>cen more nuraer- j
or.s than in any other portion of the j
world, for the reason that It has been 1
well-nigh impossible to get to them. J
Iu this almost impregnable swamp na- j
ture has defended them so well that j
if a hunter succeeded in penetrating it
and killing his pa me. he was frequently
unable to secure It.
It was not until the hide of the
saurian i?ecaroe a factor of commerce
that its extermination began in ear- i
nest. The skins, when tanned, make '
excellent leather for the manufacture j
of such articles as trunks, traveling i
bags. purses, pocketbooks and nil kinds
of leather novelties. Books are also
hound with It. and it is even used for
upholstering chairs. Dade County, on
the east coast of Florida, sends to mar- ,
ket about 50.000 skins annually, while
the number from the counties on the
west coast reaches fully 125.000 each
year. There is one firm in New Orleans
that handles over 500,000 skins
annually.
In addition to the wholesale slaughter
of large alligators for commercial
purposes, a feature of recent development
is the preparation of young ones
for the summer trade. Dealers pay
$15 a hundred for the little reptiles
while they are from five to ten inches
In lencth. They are disemboweled. |
pickled Id a preserving solution, stiffened
by -the insertion of wires into
their bodies, stuffed with sawdust and
then varnished. The.v are mounted
on pin cushions, pin and Jewelry trays,
paper -weights, etc.. and retailed at an
average of fifty cents each. One firm
in Florida sells every winter thousands
of these little stuffed ** 'gators" to
tourists, and as many more thousands
every summer at Asbury Park and
other Northern resorts.
Tn addition to being preyed upon by
the curio hunter, the young alligator
is also beset by birds of prey and large
fish. It is even devoured In great numbers
by the hardened males of Its own
species, so that altogether Its young
existence Is altogether precarious. It
is falling by the wayside at such an j
alarming rate that the future of its
kind is in serious jeopardy.
The saurian lives to a ripe old age.
ranging from 100 to 150 years. They
generally travel in groups ana me j
banter who bags one looks around for j
others and nearly always finds them.
Tbere are seldom less than three or
four together, and sometimes as many
as fifty.
Since the skins of the alligator have
become such valuable articles of commerce.
all countries where tliey thrive
are being scoured for them. A New
York firm recently sent a band of Seminole
Indians to India to hunt them.
Moit of the skins used in the United
States come from Mexico, while nearly
all the product of this country goes to
Europe. Florida formerly produced j
more skins than any other portion of j
the United States, but now furnishes i
less than any other section, where the j
reptiles are to be found at all.?Indianapolis

it is useless 10 merely moisten me
earth on the top. This will only leave
the deeper roots dry. Always see that
the water runs through the bole in
the bottom of the pot. The water before
Ix'inp put on should be wormed
to about the temperature of the room
Id which the plant stands.
Once every week the surface of the
leaves should be sponged. Gloves
should be worn when this operation is
performed, as contact with the hand
turns tUe edges of the leaves yellow.
Palms should not l>e watered from
above unless they are immediately afterward
wiped, as each drop of rnoistUTe
allowed to stand on the leaf
causes it to turn yellow. When a room
Is swept or dusted the plantB should
be covered, as the dust will otherwise
settle on the leaves and clog the pores.

the least intention of stealing the
trade it it a very useful hit of vacation
knowledge to be'able in a pinch to "do
up" your own fine handkerchiefs, for
which you have far more respect than
has any washwoman. As soon as two
or three look mussy wash them in a
little water (adjective superfluous) with
a few drops of ammonia added, squeeze
out, and "Iron" by spreading each one
evenly and carefully against a pane of
glass in your window; a sunny one is
best, of course, but a mirror has been

handkerchief adheres to the class, and

when dry la a state that will make you
feel competent to set up a laundry.?

Henry Clay Pierce, St. Louis millionaire
and President of the Mexican Central
Railroad, has refused to pay taxes
on $35,000 worth of fish stored in his
private hatcheries on the Brule River,
near Xebagaraon, Wis., and is threatened
with a lawsuit by the authorities
of that place. Mr. Pierce has expressed
a willingness to pay taxes on the real
and personal properties belonging to
him.but denies absolutely that the fish
are taxable. The authorities are anxious
to have him pay the taxes, and
then bring suit for the recovery of the
amount, but this he has refused to do.
Legal opinions obtained by Mr.
Pierce unite in tLc conclusion that
there is no precedent for the collection
of these taxes. Even in England,
where the protection of fish and game
against ]>oacher8 is a well stablished
fact in jurisprudence, there is said to
be no precedent that fits the present
case, while, under the Jaws of Wiscon
tin, there is said to be no justification
whatever for the levying of taxes on
