Our Crocodilo luntor. A young Naturalist gives the follow ing account of hunting the crocodile on the Orinoco: We landed upon a hugo sand-bar, and, taking our guns, hatchet, field-glass, etc., started across the green bank that we saw on the oth er side of the bar. Before we got across we christened that bar the "Great Des ert." As we neared the opposite side we saw that, as we had snspected,there was a little body of water between the sand bar and the shorb. Very soon we sighted a line crocodile, basking in the rays of the midday sun, near the edge of the water. There was not a >ush nor blade of grass to atford us cover, but quickly making ready and throwing ourselves upon our faces, began worth ing our way toward the great reptile as fast as possible, taking advantage of some little ridges and depressions in the sand. But lhe was too smart for us, and before we were within good rifle shot he quickly slid into the water and cilsappeared. Just then we came in sight of another and larger crocodile much nearer to us, so near that we wondered why lhe had not taken alarm a nd lied. We at once turnhed our atten tion to him, anti began creeping up, until we thought we could alord to lre. We lay latt upon the sand, made re:ady, Chet softly remarked: 'One, two, three--.' And our rifles spoke tooether. With out waiting to reload, I left my gun ly ing on the ground and ran full tilt to grab the tail of the reptile and prevent his getting into the water, for when a crocodile is badly wounded it is possi ble for a man to hold it from getting away. I merely noticed that, it was a large old fellow and stooped t.ograb his tall-when suddenly h!s tail was whisk out of my grasp, and the crocodile quickly swung round with his head to ward ie. lie raised his head high up, opened his Jaws to their widest and ut tered it loud hoarse kind of snarl, it was the first time a crocodile or aill gator had turned upon me, and I was very much takent by surprise. I left the vielnity of those jaws as quickly as possible, and got around t.o the tail. Again the crocodile swung around on his tail and hind legs and faaced me with his jaws c11en and still uttering that horrible, angry snarl. I yelled to J . 'Briing the hiatchet-1' 1 quite forgot that he had a rifle. Again I ran round to the tall of t,he reptile, and agna lie turned upon me' 'Briny the hatchet !' 'Shut your mouth I I won't do it!' baw'ed out. Chet,rtnaningup and shov ing in it cartridge ats he ran. I kept the crocodile busy turning round ttutiI Chet was ready to IIre, when he sent a ball through its neck-bone and ended its troubles in a tomtent. It wits a lie male specinen, length ten feet eight inches, and from the exceeding rough ness of its exterior, very thick skin and blunt claws we were led to believe that he was very old, and had probably at tained his lull growth. We found tut. one ball land st.ruck him ini the nieck, itut mtissinug ihle cervical verteb,ro, iand the other enttered his shtoulder. WhIy lie did not lake to the watet' when lie was so wvell able to do so was a mystery Co us. We removed [te skhin as quick ias pos sible, folded It, iato a bundle anid took turn aboutt,earrtyltng it across the deset to the annoe. Thlent we thought thtat our dogged perseverence in crossintg the river in the mnorning htad bteeni re wyarded.

Fashion chtanged bitt slowly, an(d not at all among those who earned theIr (aily bread by hontest labor'. 'lThe world was very different from what it is at the p)resent time. Now, wealth is much mote widely distributed, and machinery has made fabrics so cheap that it only pays to mienid themi from the cost of making, not from [lie mtoney spent upon the material itself. Ma erils tare very reasonaible In pilce, It Is well worth while nowadhays for young wvomnen to bestow upon01 thtel" own dress some of that time, patience and conaslderation which they have been acciustomedi to devote to fancy work. Paper patterns are now obtain able with as much ease as a spool of thread. They are designedl and cut accurately, and there Is no obstacle 'o the cultivation of chiarmitng taste and originality in their dIress by youtng wOmeni though they may not have a su perabundance of pocket money. LeOt them take a well cut deelign as a basIs of operations. They may diverge from It in any way that suits their fancy af ter they have learned to do so witht safety, anid by saving themselves the experise In making, be able to Indulge in more dresses as well as more of the accessories of dress. Light and diver sified colors are more fashionable now thani for som~e Lime past, and freshnecss, frequent renewal, Is essential to their attractive appearance.

KARM AND GAIt[)EN. REMOVING METALLIC SUBSTANcE. FRom GRAIN.--The introduction of grain-binding machines enploying Iron wire to bind the sheaves very quickly led to the discovery that the bits or wire, e:t off each time a sheaf waa3 bound, caused a great deal of trouble int the after process of grinding. The ends of the wire mixed with the gralii reached the will only to break and scratch the stones and machlinery, and .o produce frictiun and heating that sometimes resulted it setting lire to the mill. So serious became this mat ter that the millers objected to receiy Ing any grain bound in taachines using wire. Fortunately, the difliculty has been surmounted by the introiuction of appliances for removing the bits of iron trom the mill. Experiments show od that a common magnet hung ii a grain-spout would catch and retain par tiles of metaillo substnitces lixed with grain. Several methods of accomplish ing the satme results are now in use in western mills, and they nay be divided into two classes; those using perman ent magnets and those using eleetro magnets. It has been found that a dozen "machine" magnets (preferable to "horseshoe" on account of their shape) hung in a grain-apout are sull1 cient to arrest every particle of nagne tic metal, from pieces of wire several centimeters long, (ow i to iron filings and metallic dust. The usual plan is to saw oil a portion of the top of the spout and to divide it into three pieces and cut holes in each piece for the legs of the magnets, placing four magnets In a row across the spout. This gives three rows of m:gnets placed directly or diagonally across the stream of grain the diagonal position being consldered tihe best as the grain is driven from side to side in passing, and brought into .close contact with the mlagnet. The magnets may be lifted out of the spouts in groups of four by taking oil' one of the covers, and may then be cleaned and put back without disturbing the others. Another nethod of hanging the magnets is to cut three slots across the spout, and hing the magnets on a rod with blocks between them to keep them in positioni. Vy this arraingemient, the nagnrets many be remove one at a time, enough of them remali to keep up the work while the others are being cleained. The metal adhering to the magnets is easily britshed ol, two clearings in a iday being found suilliient. By eiployiuig bars of soft iron in con nectlon with coils of wire and at bat tery, electro-magnets may be used, and In lifting out the magnets it will only be necessary to break the circuit, when the metal adhering to themi will instant ly drop on. Another formt of appara tus einploys ior.e-shoe Iagnets,raving a paper or wooden filing between the legs, set upright on the ernds of arms revolving horizontally in a circular tank, very iich after the rmanner of some forms of' neixing-mlachines. The grain is delivered at the edge of the tank, and is pushed by the revolvirg magnets toward the center, when it es capes through aii opening in the bottomt of the Lank. Another device emlioys a series of permanicrt ragnets arnd a travel I rig apron for cona veyl ig the gral rr away ater it has passed over tihe rmag ncts. The only advantage of the use of electro nagncts is in tihe facility of cleaning them by breaking the circuit and de.nagnetig the iron. By sttita ble clock-work this can be done auto iatically, provided there are a ppliances for shitting oil' the gralrr rind for catch ing the netallic dust when the magnets are thrownr out of action.

To KE:' IlAMs ix SuMME.-Thore are a number of modes given to keep hams through the warm season free from the attacks of insects. Some bag them and whitewash the bags, which is troublesome and somewhat expensive; some cover them with dry wood ashes, and pack them in barrels; some pack them lta barrels and cover thoroughly with shavings; but we think the best plan of all, and certainly the least ex pensive with all who have a smoke house, and every fairmer should have a good one, Is to keel) the hams hung up in the smoke-house, which should be kept perfectly dark at all times. We have eaten hams so kept two years old, and they were among the very best we ever tasted. Uniform darkness is a comi plete protection against all attacks of insects. To 8roP BLEE)INts.--Asa Kemper, Ross county, Ohio, says that bleeding fron a wound on man or beast may be stopped by a mixt ure of wheat, flour and cotmon salt, in eginal parts, hound on with white cloth. i' the bleeding be profuse, use a larg11e quantity, say ft om one to three pints. It may be left for hours, or even thays, if necessary. In this manner he si:ved the lie of a horse which was bleeding from a woutflied airtdry; the bleeding ceased in live minutes after t,he application.
