Our Crocodile Hunter.
A young Naturalist gives the follow
ing account of hunting the crocodile
on the Orinoco: We landed upon a
huge 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 suspected,there
was a little body ot water between the
sand bar and the shore. Very soon we
sighted a fine crocodile, basking in the
rays of the midday sun, near the edge
of the water. There was not a bush
nor blade of grass to afford us cover,
bat quickly making ready and throwing
ourselves upon our faces, began worm
ing our way toward the great reptile as
fast as possible, taking advantage of
some little ridges and depressions iu
the sand. But lie was too smart for us,
and before we were within good**ific
shot he quickly slid into the water and
disappeared. Just then we came in
sight of another and larger croeodile
much nearer to us, so near that we
wondered why he had not taken alarm
kud fled. We at once turned our atten
tion to him, and began creeping up,
until we thought we could afford to
Are. We lay flat upon die sand, made
ready, Chet softly remarked :
'One, two, three
And our rifles spoke together. With
out waiting to reload, 1 left my gun ly
ing on the ground and rail full tilt to
grab the tail of the reptile aud prevent
his getting into the water, lor when a
croeodile 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 aud stooped to grab his
tail—when suddenly his tail w as whisk
out of my grasp, and the crocodile
quickly swung rouud with his head to
ward me. He raised his head high up
opened his jaws to their widest and ut
tered a loud hoarse kind of snarl, it
was the first time a crocodile or alli
gator had turned upon me, and 1 was
very much taken by surprise. I left
the vicinity of those jaws as quickly as
possible, and got around to the tail.
Again the crocodile swung around on
his tail and hind legs aud faced me
with his jaws cpen and still uttering
that horrible, angry snarl. 1 yelled to
J .
"Bring the hatchet!'
1 quite forgot that he had a rifle.
Again I ran round to the tail of the
reptile, and again he turned upon me*
' Bring the hatchet
'Shut your mouth! I won't doit!'
baw.'ed out Chet, running up and shov
ing in a cartridge as he ran. I kept
the crocodile busy turning round until
Chet was ready to fire, when he sent a
ball through its neck-bone and ended
its troubles in a moment. It was a tine
male specimen, length ten feet eight
inches, and from the exceeding rough
ness of its exterior, very thick skiu and
blunt claws we were led to believe that
he was very old, aud had probably at
tained his full growth. We found that
one ball had struck him in the neck,
but missing the cervical vertebra;, and
the other entered his shoulder. Why
he did not take to the water when he
was so well able to do so was a mystery
to us.
We removed the skin as quick as pos
sible, folded it into a bundle and took
turn about.carrying it across the desert
to the canoe. Then we thought that
our dogged persevereuce in crossing
the river in the morning had been re
warded. On returning J . gener
ously offeied to take the front seat, and
before we bad got across he remarked
that it was harder to take it easy than
he thought. Alter toiling across an
other sand bar with that skin on our
backs we dumped it into Captain Ric
ci's boat and went sailing up to Bolivar
with tired arras and legs and a fair
wind.
Every Lady Her Own Dressmaker.
Developments are constantly taking
place in every department of science,
art and industry, and it can scarcely be
expected that fashion should go back
ward or tend in the direction of that
simplicity which belonged to the time
when the spinning wheel turned out
the cloth or the linen and the hand
loom toiled laboriously at the costlier
fabrics, the use of which were confined
wholly to the rich and great. In those
days linen was made for a lifetime and
cloth to be U6ed by children's children.
Fashion changed but slowly, and not at
all among those who earned their daily
bread by honest labor. The world
was very different from what it is at
the present time. Now, wealth is
much more widely distributed, and
machinery has made fabrics *o cheap
that it only pays to mend them from
the cost of making, not from the money
spent upon the material itself. Ma
erials are very reasonable in price. It
is well worth while nowadays for
young women to bestow upon thei r
own dress some of that time, patience
and consideration which they have
been accustomed to devote to fancy
work. Paper patterns are now obtain
able with as much ease as a spool of
thread. They are designed and cut
accurately, and there is no obstacle o
tha cultivation of charming taste and
originality in their dress by young
women though they may not have a su-
perabundance of pocket money, jjet
them take a well cut design 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 with
safety, and by saving themselves the
expense 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
than for some time past, and freshness,
frequent renewal, is essential to their
attractive appearance. Let the girls,
therefore, learn to be their own dress
makers, if they would dress beautifully
and fashionably.

"For the land's sakes!" exclaimed
Mrs. Brown, dropping in upon me for
a morning's call, "what an extrava
gant creature that young Mrs. Harman
is! why Just as I was coming through
the back yard, I happened to glance
up, and I do declare, if there to all her
kitchen windows don't hang the most
beautiful lace lambrequins I ever set
my eyes on."
"Lace lambrequins at her kitchen
windows! you must be mistaken."
"No, I am uot, and if you don't be
lieve it, just go aud look for yourself."
I did so; and sure enough, there
hung what appeared to be elegant lace
lambrequins.
"She'll ruin that husband of iters,"
continued Mrs. Brown. "I must say
it makes me angry to see such doings.
Mr. Brown is worth twice as much as
her husband, and 1 never thought of
having anything else but green paper
curtains at any of my windows."
"Well," I remarked, "1 think it is
a very extravagant move Young per
sons when starting in life, should be
economical, if ever, and look out for a
rainy day."
"Have you called?" asked Mrs-
Brown.
"No, but I should like to."
"Then supposin' you slip on your
bun nit, and we'll jest step over. Those
lambrequins have made me kiudo' cu
rious."
1 assented, and in less than five min
utes we stood at the door of a pretty
cottage.
"Good morning, ladies," said Mrs.
Harman, appearing at the door in a
n°at calico morning dress, "walk in,"
and she ushered us into a cool, shady
room, whose windows were draped
with curtains of white dotted muslin.
She was very social, and we tell at
once into a pleasant chat. At last
Mrs. Brown introduced th a topic of do
mestic economy.
"Yes, indeed," said Mrs. Harman,
"I know something of economy. Har
ry and 1 are just starting in life, and I
feel we ought to save in every way
that we can, without infringing on our
real comfort. He wanted me to keep a
girl, and I told him, no, that 1 had
much rather do my own work, and I
find it very pleasant, too. Through the
hot weather I arise bright and early,
and get all the baking and sweeping
out of the way before breakfast; then 1
have plenty of leisure to sew . Yester
day, 1 finished those curtains, (point
ing to the window,) 1 didn't think they
would do so well. 1 made them out of
a couple of old white dresses that I had
thrown aside —"
"\ T ou ought to have put your lace
lambrequins in here," said Mrs. Brown.
Mrs. Harman looked puzzled.
"What do you mean?" she asked.
"Why, them beautiful lace things
you've got hanging up to your kit
chen windows; I couldn't think of
such extravagance in my house."
Mrs. Marmon broke into a hearty
laugh—
"Won't you step out and look at
them?" she asked.
"Well 1 never 1 If I ain't beat!" ut
tered the amazed Mrs. Brown, as we
surveyed them, for lo and behold, they
were nothing but newspapers cut and
notched in imitation of lace pattern.
Mrs. H. kindly showed us how to
fold the papers and cut them, so we
both walked home and hung lace lam
brequins at our kitchen windows—try
it.
SCIENCE.
J. Blumel . a young mechanic, of San
Francisco, has inveuted an ingenious
device to prevent false alarms of fire.
His design is to manufacture new
doors with his attachment for the
boxes now in use. The door has an
opening in the under edge through
which a hand can turn a knob opening
the door and disclosing the apparatus.
The revolution of the knob, however,
causes two iron bars to shoot out, one
'on each side, and catching the intrud
ing hand in a vice-like grip, from
which it is impossitde to extricate it
until a fire engine arrives and the trap
is unlocked. In that way the person
who turns in an alarm is imprisoned.
A new type-writer machine comes
from Copenhagen. The aim of Han
sen, the inventor, was to simplify the
mechanism between the keys, whinh
are pressed by the lingers, and the
device which directly effects the im
print. |The key-board is abolished
aud a semicircular copper cap over the
circle of type arms is made to do the
work, By means of a rod this cap con
nects each arm with a single spring
push button. _____
Professor E. Witdman , in his inves
tigation ol the nature of Spectra, has
shown that a gas having temperatures
of far less than 100 degrees C. can be
illuminated by electrical discharges.
He thinks that the phenomenon is the
result of an exaltation of the living
force of the oscillatory movements of
the ether envelopes.
When starch is added to milk by
fraudulent dealers the fact can be de
termined by the process recommended
by Dr. Vulpius. A sample is coagulated
with a few drops of acetic acid, heated
to boiling arid filtered. A watery solu
of lodine is poured into the clear'whey,
which instantly develops a blue cloud
it starch is present.
Jarmolink maintains that steel can be
hardened not only by immersion in
boiling water, but even in boiling oil,
melting lead and melting zinc.
Bamboo shoots are used as an article
of diet in Jadan. At a certain stage of
their growth they are said to be so
nourishing as to rival even culifiower
and asparagus.
Languor, Its Cause and Uemedy.
The cause of languor, when it is not the im
mediate < r indirect consequence of positive
disease, is traceable to a debilitating tempera
ture. Persons living in a warm, moist climate
are peculiarly subject to it. Diminished phys
ical vigor and an indisposition to active exer
tion are its characteri-tics. Sometimes it ie
accompanied by undue relaxation of the bow
els, aud b.v dyspepsia or hi ious symptoms. A
reliable remedy is Hostetter's tttcmach bitters,

FARM ANI) GARDEN.
REMOVING METALLIC SIUSTANCKS
▼BOM GRAIN. —The introduction of
grain-binding machines employing iron
wire to bind the sheaves very quickly
led to the discovery that the bits or
wire, cut oft* each time a sheaf was
bound, caused a great deal of trouble In
the after process of grinding. The
ends of the wire mixed with the grain
reached the mill only to break and
scratch the stones and machinery, ami
to produce friction aud heating that
sometimes resulted in setting fire to
the mill. So serious became this mat
ter that the millers objected to receiv
ing any grain bound iu machines using
wire. Fortunately, the diftleulty ha*
been surmounted by the introduction
ot appliances for removing the bits of
iron trom the mill. Experiments show
ed that a common magnet hung iu a
grain-spout would catch aud retain par
ticles of metallic substances mixed witli
f;rain. Several met hods of accoinplish
ng the same results are now in use iu
western mills, and they may be divided
into two classes; those using perman
ent magnets and those using electro
lungnets. It has been found that a
dozen "machine" magnets (preferable
to "horseshoe" on account of their
shape) hung in a grain-spout are suffi
cient to arrest every particle ot magne
tic metal, from pieces of wire several
centimeters long, down to iron filings
aud metallic dust. The usual plan is
to saw ott a portion ot 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 magnets placed directly
or diagonally across the stream of grain
the diagonal position being considered
the best as the grain Is driven from side
to side in passing, and brought into
close contact with the magnet. The
magnets may be lifted out ot 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 method of hanging
the magnets is to cut three slots across
the spout, aud hang the magnets on a
rod with blocks between them to keep
them in position. By this arrangement,
the magnets may be removed one at a
time, enough of them remain to keep
up the work while the others are being
cleaned. The metal adhering to the
magnets is easily brushed off, two
clearings in aday being found sufficient.
By employing bars of soft iron in con
nection with coils ot wire and a 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 them will instant
ly drop on. Another fonu of appara
tus employs hor.-e-shoe magnets,having
a paper or wooden tiling between the
legs, set upright on the ends of arms
revolving horizontally in a circular
tank, very much after the manner of
some forms of mixiug-machines. The
grain is delivered at the edge of the
tank, and is pushed by the revolving
magnets tow ard the center, when it es
capes through an opening in the bottom
of the tank. Another device employs
a series of permanent magnets and a
traveling apron for conveying the grain
away after if has passed over the mag
nets. The only advantage of the use
of electro magnets is in lite facility of
cleaning them by breaking the circuit
and Ueuiaguetiiig the iron. By suita
ble clock-work this ean be done auto
matically, provided there are appliances
for shutting off the and for eateh
ing the metallic dust when the magnets
are thrown out of action.
AVOID giving a tired horse very cold
water, as it often produces colic. In
large establishments exhaust steam is
passed through the horse troughs; oth
ers allow the water to stand lor some
time in buckets. On the road horses
shoul i be watered once in ten miles at
least. The stomach of a horse is so
small in compaiison to his body that
large draughts injuriously distend it;
consequently, small quantities at regu
lar iutervais is the best rule.
IT is a great mistake to keep eattle
stabled all winter and then turn them
out in spring, exposing them to cold
storms of wind and rain. Stock espe
cially dairy stock, and all animals giv
ing milk, should be carefully protected
in the spring until the days and nights
are warm.
Hwallowed by a Saurian Monster.
Aaron Strickland lives on his small
farm on the west side of Hillsborough
river, and six or 6even miles northwest
of Tampa, Florida. On the 13th his In
fant son, nineteen months old, rambled
off out of the yard with a puppy and a
kitten, its playmates, while the father
was off at work and the mother was en
gaged in her household duties. As
soon as the mother missed the little fel
low, who was not to be found about the
place,or at his accustomed resort,a near
neighbor's, the distracted parents set
out on a search, at the same time giving
the alarm to the neighborhood.
Throughout Friday the search proved
unavailing, and on that night the kit
ten and puppy returned home. On Sat
urday the search was still prosecuted
by increased numbers of men, as the
loss of the little waif became known,
but without success, and on Sunday
not less than a hundred men turned
out to find the child, the most intense
interest and ho little excitement as to
the fate of the poor little wanderer
having baen developed by this time.
A short time after one squad of the
gearchers found blood and some of the
child's hair and some parts of its cloth
ing on the margin of a iake, known as
Horse pond, some three and one-half
miles from Strickland's residence. It
being about night when the trace of
the lost child was discovered the search
was suspended till the following (Mon
day) morning, when a party returned
and, after some little search saw some
thing floating In the lake about one
hundred yards from shore and an alli
gator lying near by. Two of the party
swam out after the object seen floating
which proved to be the pelvic portion
of the body and thighs of the lost child.
It is supposed that the poor little fellow
in his wanderings, reached the margin
of the lake, aud possibly by his crying
attracted the attention of the saurian
monsters, which are known to be at
tracted by the cry of young animals.
From the blood there can be no doubt
but what the child was killed on the
land by some beast, aud taking all the
circumstances into consideration, no
other conclusion can be fairly arrived
at than that of the saur.an monsters
having done the work.

THE HOUSEHOLD.
KKMKDIEU FOR UARPKT BKKTLUS,
MOTHS, ETC. — First —Steep one-quarter
ot a pound of Cayenne pepper in a gal
lon of water; add two drachms of
strychnia powder. Strain and pour
this tea Into a shallow vessel, such as a
large tinned iron milk pan. Before un
rolling a new carpet set the roll on each
end alternately In this poisoned tea for
ten minutes, or long enough to secure
the saturation of its edges for at least
an inch. After beating an old carpet,
roll and treat all Its seams and edges to
the same bath. Let the carpet dry
thoroughly before tacking to the tloor,
in order to avoid the accidental poison
ing of tlie tacker's lingers by the liquid,
it is, perhaps, unnecessary to state that
the residue of the liquid should be
thrown out where it will not be drunk
by any domestic animal, or if pre
served for tuture use,carefully labelled
"poison." Tills preparation will not
stain or disfigure carpels nor corrode
metals in contact witli the carpets, as
will most preparations of eorrosivft sub
limate.
Second—One pound of quassia chips,
one-quarter of a pound of Cayenne pep
per, steeped in two gallons of water.
Strain and use as above. This prepa
ration, although irritating to the human
skin, especially on cut surfaces, lias the
advantage of not being poisonous. To
either of these teas from one -quarter to
oiie-haif more boiling water may be
added at the time of first using, if
greater depth of the liquid in the vessel
be required. When it is desirable to
treat carpets that are not to be taken
up, either of the above preparations
may be applied by means of any of the
ooinmou atomizers, to every seam and
margin, with good results, although a
second and even a third application may
be needed.
To KEEP HAMS IN SVM.MEK.— There
are a number of mode* given to keep
bams through the warm season free
from tiie attacks of insects. Some bag
thetu and whitewash the bags, wiiicti is
troublesome and somewhat expensive;
some cover them with dry wood ashes,
and pack them in barrels; some pack
them iw barrels and cover thoroughly
witli shavings; but we think the best
plan of all, and certainly the least ex
pensive with all who have a smoke
house, and ever)' farmer should have a
good one, is to keep the hams hung up
in the smoke-house, which should be
kept perfectly dark at all times. We
have eaton hams so kept two years old,
and they were among the very best we
ever tasted. Uniform darkness isacoin
plete protection against all attacks of
insects.
RE WISE AND HAPPV.— If you will

To STOP BLEEDING. —Asa Kemper.
Ross county, Ohio, says that bleeding
from a wound on man or beast may be
stopped by a mixture of wheat flour and
common salt, in equal parts, bound on
with white cloth. If the bleeding be
profuse, use a large quantity, say fiotn
one to three pines. It may be left lor
hours, or even daj'B, If necessary. In
this manner he saved the lite of a iiorse
which was bleeding from a wounded
artery; the bleeding ceased in live
miuutes after the application. It was
left on three days when it worked
loose, and was easily removed from the
wound, wjiich very soon healed.
DEVILLED KIDNEYS. —Skin and par
boil the kidneys, split them in halves
without separating them, dip them in
liquefied butter and sprinkle pepper
aud salt, with a judieious proportion of
Cayenne over thein; place them, spread
open, in a double gridiron, and broil
either in front of or on a brisk fire.
Serve hot, placing oil eoch kidney a
piece of butter, into which has been
worked pepper, salt, Cayenne and
uiineed parsley in due proportions.
Nothing removes an incipient Cold
more quickly and pleasantly than a
reliable cathartic medicine, such as that
old and tried remedy, Dr. Bull's Bal
timore Pills, used by thousands of
families throughout the land. Price
only 25 cents.
RICE BISCUITS. —Take half a pound
of sugar, half a pound of the best
ground rice, half a pound of butter,
and half a pound of fiour; mix the
whole into a paste with egg (two are
sufficient for this quantity.
To KEEP THE HANDS SOET. —Mix
honey, almond meal and olive oil into
a paste; use after washing with soap.
Castile soap is best foj use; it will cure
a scratch or cut and prevent any spot.
TURKISH COFFEE. —In order to make
Turkish eoflee, the roasted berries and
the proper amount of sugar are pounded
in a mortar not made of metal; two tea
spoonfuls are put into a small tincup,
with water, and allowed to boil for
nearly half an hour, If not all of that
time. The hot liquid is poured into a
small China cup and left to settle. Do
not shake it any after it settles.
Coffee should never be roasted too
quickly.

GENTS —For upward of 20 years I have been
afflicted with the Piles. When 1 lirat took
them they were blind aud very painful. For
about ten years they continued as blind then
commenced bleeding. The hemorrhoids con
tinued to increase until I was losing at every
stool fully a gill of blood, aud frequently,
while standing at my desk, the blood would run
down into my booted I have had these hem
orrhoids to last for several hours. In the
meantime, like a drowning man, 1 was grasp

one occasion 1 had them cauterized, which,
after intense suffering for over a mouth,
effected temporary relief, for a short time only
however. About teu mouths since, while at

in large letters, "Piles," "Send 2 cent stamp

"Plam blunt Facts" in reply, after reading
which. I concluded it was such plain common
sense that I would give "Auakesis" a trial. I

mud with his cane, at the same time al
lowing his other hand to slide over his
shirt bosom, as if in quest of something
which was there. His movements
quickly attracted a bootblack, who ran
up anu asked :
"Lost suthln', mister?" and began
looking al>out.
Then came a merchant and two clerk 9
out of the store and began looking up
and down the walk. A teamster jumped
oft' his wagon and joined in. A barber
remarked, "Was it y our diamond pin,
Joe?" and this was caught up and
echoed among the crowd which had
gathered, until the story grew that a
diamond pin worth $2,000 had been
lost. The crowd extended until it filled
both sides of Hie street, and all manner
of suggestions were made. One man
proposed to shovel up all the dirt and
mud and have it carefully looked over.
Another said tho sidewalk ought to be
torn up. A man crowded into a place
and trod on the toes of another man,
who gave him a push. A blow followed
ami a tight took place, and in two min

RATHER WEIGHT v.—''Judge, I was
drunk last night," was the confession
of Charles Clark as he reached the bar
of the police Court.
"So the policeman who arrested you
says," replied Justice Morgan
"Yes, sir, drunker'n—well, as drunk
as two kegs o' beer could make eight of
us."
"A pretty heavy drunk, that."
"Rather weighty, but it was lighter
last night."
"The weight has all gone to vour
head this morning," said His Honor.
"Seeuis so, but you ain't agoin* to
lock a leller up for that, are you?"
"1 don't see how I can get out of it."
"Why, 1 walked right up to the po
liceman and told him I was drunk, an*
asked him to take me In afore I'd lie
down so's to save him any trouble."
"Yes; but then just think of the ten
der care of that policeman in making
you as comfortable as possible."
"Yes, 1 leel the edge of that board

"Ten dollars for taking care of you."

course had filled both pockets with
great nice ones, handsomely spotted all
over the wings.
A MARKET man was mercilessly swin
dled in the town of B—. His misfor
tune gave him a very unfavorable im
pression of tne residents, and he ex
pressed his opinion of them by saying
that if the Angel Gabriel stopped at B—
there would be no resurrection.
••Why?" asked a listener. "Because
the people would swindle him out of
his horn before he had time to blow a
single toot."
'HIERE has never been found a person
who fried Dobbins Llectric Soap.(made
by Cragin & Co., Philadelphia,) that
did not say at once, it was the best soap
she ever used. Try it once, you'll al
ways use it.
A PRETTY little girl in whose cheap
and plain dress the cnild of a laborer
could be reeognized, contemplated, in
company with her mother, the rich
show window of a toy store on the
Boulevard. Her mother, pointing at
the biggest and most richly dressed of
the dolls, said: "You would like to
have that, wouldn't you, Louise?"
"Oh, no, mamma, not that oue; it's too
well dressed lor me." "And what dif
ference does that make to you ?" "Why,
I'd want to be my dolly's mamma and
not her servaut-girl."
HUSBAND —Maria, my dear, you seem
to be very lonesome in my company.
Do you not love me now as you did be
fore our marriage? Wife—Why, of
course, Gerald, hut you know since our
marriage, we have become one, and I
feel lonesome without a second party."
BOY (to gentleman who has not given
him any reward for carrying his port
manteau) : "An' please sir, what must
I say if any one asks me how much 1
has to thank you for?"
MUSICIAN: "Four 'arf? Certainly
not. What d'ye mean? Do I look a
four 'arf customer? My orders is two
o' gin, hot, and I'll trouble yer not hln
sult the purfesßion."
"Practical Science."
Under the above heading, the St.
Croix Courier , of St. Stephen, N. 8., in
referring to the analysis of Dr. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery and Sage's
Catarrh Remedy, recently made by
Prof. Cnandler. of New York, and
others, says: "Nothing was discovered
which we think objectionable, and the
published analysis should increase,
rather than retard, their sale. To us.
It seems a little unjust to call a man a
quack, simply because he seeks to reap
as much pecuniaiy reward as other
classes of inventors." The EnglVsh
Press is conservative, yet after a care
ful examination of all the evidence, it
not only endorses but recommends the
Family Medicines manufactured by
Dr. Pierce. No remedies ever offered
the afflicted give such perfect satisfac
tion as Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery and Dr. Sage's Catarrh
Remedy.
