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

accurately, and there Is no obstacle 'o
the cultivation of chiarmitng taste and
originality in their dIress by youtng

It in any way that suits their fancy af

in more dresses as well as more of the

frequent renewal, Is essential to their

therefore, learn to be thteir own dress

"Lace lanbrequins at her kitchen

"No, I am not, and if you don't be

continued Mrs. 13rown. "i must say
it makes me angry to see such doings.
Mr. Brown is worth twice as much as

"Well," I remarked, "I thitik it Is
a very extravagant move. Young per

She was very social, and we lell at

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.

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.

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

WIT AND HUMOR.
A PJACTICAL JOKER.-JO Skilav
was once the greatest Joker in Oil Cit
and one of his tricks came near brin
lug on a riot one day. Joe was wal

denly stopped and began poking in ti
mud with his cane, at the same time u
lowing his other- hand to slide over ht
shirt bosom. as if in quest of somethi
which was there. Ills movemen
quickly attracted a bootblack, who rt
up and asked :
"Lost sutiin', mister?" and begs
looking about.
Then came a merchant and two cler1
out of the store and began Icoking t
and down the walk. A teamster jump
off his wagon and joined in. A barb'
remarked, "Was it our diamond p1
Joe?" and this was caught up at
echoed amiong the crowd whicl ha
gathered, until the story grew that
diamond pin worth $2,000 had but
lost. The crowd extended until it flic
both sides of t-he street, and all mann,
of suggestio.s -were made. One mi
proposed to anovel up all the dirt au
mud and have it carefully looked ove
Another said the sidewalk ought to 1
torn up. A m1an crowded into a pla
and trod on the toes of another mai
who gave himt at pus:h. A blow follow
and a light took place, and in two ili
utes the police were hauling a man t
to the lockup, while Joe got outslt
the crowd and laughed at his awfl
hoax tuntil the tears ran down I
cheeks. The search continued for tm
tiours,
