earlier, the traveller, states that
one day, while at anchor off on Afri-
can town, he witnessed one OF the
most ingenious ways Of killing alGga-
tors that could be imagined. One of
these huge creatures was discovered
ba king On q bank in the river, short
distance ahead Of his vessel. He was
observed by two natives in a canoe,
who Immediately padded to the oppo-
site side Of the bank, and having land
ed, crept cautiously towards him. As
soon as they were near the animal, one
OF the natives stood up from his crouch
ing position, holding a spear about six
feet long, which with one blow he
stlnck through the animals tail into
the sand. A most strenuous contest
Immediately ensued-the man with
the spear holding it in the sand as finn
ly as his strength allowed him, and
clinging to it as it became necessary
to shift his position with the agility Of
monkey; while his companion occa-
sionally ran in as opportunity offered,
and with much dexterity gave the ami
NAL a thrust with his long knife, re-
treating at the same moment from
within reach Of = oapacious jaws as
it whirled round upon Tie extraordina-
ry pivot which his companion had
50 successfully placed in its tail
The battle Ia ted about lalf an hour,
terminating III tie slaughter Of the ami
NAL, aud the triumph Of his conquer
ors, who were not long in cutting lin
INTO pieces and loading their canoe
0ith ils flesh, which they Immediate
: carried to shore and retailed to their
countrymen. 1t is evident that the
success Of this plan depended on the
nerve and dexterity Of the man who
pinned tie ANNALS tail to the ground
and his contortions and struggles to
keep his position was highly ridicu-
lOus.

The notion that high forehead, in
women as well as III men, are indi pen
sable to beauty came into vogue with
chronology, and Is going out with the
decline ot that pret-ntio1s and p,ansi-
bic science Not long ago more than
one Sine lady shaved her head to
give it an Intellectual appearance, and
the cu- tom Of combing tie hair back
from tie forehead plobably oignated
IN tae same mi taken ambition. When
it is considered that a great expanse
Of forehead gives a bold, masculine
look-that from irons >forehead) comes
the word "effrontly'-it will not be
wondered that the ancient painters,
sculptors, and poets, considered low
forehead a charming thing III women,
and, indeed, indispen able to female
beauty. Horace praises Lyeoris for
her low forehead (tenuis frons) and
Martial conmends the same grace "a
decidedly as he praises the arched
eyebrow. The artists in stone and
pigments know very well that modesty
and gentleness could not be to consist
with tal heads OF extremely broad
ones; and, accordingly, without sin
gle notable exception, their women
unless made on purpose to represent
shrews and the coarse class of cyp-
rians-have low foreheads. But ma
ture, higher authority, has distin-
guished the fairest of the sex in the
same way; and foolishly perverse are
they who would make themselves a
new in hope of improvement
