Shooting AllIgatOrs in Florida.

A Savosota (Fla.) correspondent OF
the Louisville C0Urier-JOttT7lGl writes;
About a mile below where we first |
came upon tie creek, and two miles
from where it empties into the bay, we
reached tide water, and Jack told us to |
look out now for gators. Sure enough, |
we saw two monster old saurians lying !
out on the bank summing themselves. !
fhey took the alarm, however, while |
we were vet a long way of, and plunged
into the water. As we neared the spot
we saw several others swimming in diff
ferent directions in the same hole. They
all disappeared when they saw us, so
we laid down our luggage and sat in the
shade of a tree to await results. In a
few minutes one stuck his head out ofthe
water not more than thirty yards away,
whereupon Capt. S. gave him charge
of buckshou in the vicinity of the eye
and ear. He lashed the water into
foam in his gyrations and sank out of
sight, probably MORALLY wounded.
Presently another one put his eye out of
the water to look al us. He was near
the opposite shore, perhaps nifty yards
from where we sat. | let go at him,
and although scored a palpable hit,
did not kill him. A gator always tells
you, unerringly, whether you have
killed or only wounded him. If
wounded, he plunges and thrashes
around at lively rate for a few seconds
and sinks out of sight, but If killed dead.
he performs about the same series of
evoluiions, turns on his back and dies,
remaining on the top of the water This
is the time to go for him if you wish to
capture him, for he only lies on the top
of the water fifteen to thirty minutes,
when the air escapes from the lungs, and
be sinks. 1t is very difficult, indeed, to
kill them on dry land, nowadays, for
Ethey are shot at so much that they are
exceedingly wild But whenever you
! flush one froaethe bank and he goes
intQthe water, sit down and rest, and
you may depend upon it you will have
to wait but few minutes before he will
put his large black eyes out OF the water
and look around TO see if you are still
there; then you have fine target for
your rifle. The smoke had scarcely
cleared away after my last shot, when
third gator looked up near us and in
stantly caught right-fielder in his
optic that turned him over. We then
supposed we had made it so warm for
them that no Others would show them
selves for awhile, and started on
down the stream. The captain and l
had gone little ahead, and Jack, who
had not yet started, called to us and
said, Here's another 'gatorm went
back, and there, sure enough, was an
old fellow, swimming along down the
creek as unconcenedly as though he
bad never heard the report of a gun in
his life. waited until he came within
about fifty feet of me, and then gave
him one in the leeward eye. Heturned
two or three sommersaults, and stopped
on his back with one forefoot sticking
out of the water. We left him there as
warning to his kind not to tempt the
deadly accuracy of Stevens rifle. Al
we were now thoroughly stated with
this class of sport, We returned home.

The Worlds Telegranhs.

miles of lines and 1859, 1858 miles of wire.
There were l9,627 government telegraph
stations. The number of employees
amounted TO 1884, and the number Of
instruments to l,708. The number of
paid messages was in round numbers
86,OOO,OOO, of which 10000, 900 were in
ternational dispatches. The number of
other kilograms forwarded amounted to
about 100000. NJ. Newman Spallart
gives the following statistics for the
other parts of the world: In America
(lS75 to 1870, ll4,l57 miles of wire;

A Word to workers,

IT your avOcaIiuns are mentally or physi-
cally laborious, il they subject you to expos
ure in inclement weather, if they confne you
TO the desk and are OF nature to involve
wear and tear of brain and nervous strain,
you may occasionally require some rcnovat-
ing tonic. Hostetter's Stomach Bitters is TIE
article for you, it stimulates the falling ener-
gies, invigorates the body and cheers the
mind. 1t enables the system to throw off the
facilitating effects OF undue fatigue, gives re-
newed viGor to the organs ofdigestion, arouses
the liver when inactive, Which it very often is
with people whose pursuits are sedentary re-
news the jaded appetite, and encourages
beautiful repose. Its ingredients are safe, and
its credentials, which consist in the hearty
endorsement ofpersons of every class OF So
ciety are most convincing. Admirably is 1t
adapted to the medical wants OF workers.

II ealtlly Women.


A writer, in urging the necessity for
more attention to the physical culture.
notes as favorable sign, to the fact
that the pale and interesting" type OF
female beauty is fast losing its popular
ity, and that men of position and inilu-
"nce are declaring for the healthy
standard of womanly beauty, such as
was ever recognized by Greece and
Rome. This is certainly an important
and happy change in public taste, and
already the effects of it are to be detected
in an improved condition of feminine
health, for it will hardly be denied that
on an average the women of to-day are
physically superior to what they were
few years ago, when tight-lacing and
similar destroying customs prevailed.
Young women take more exercise than
they formerly did. They ride and walk
more and are more in the open air They
have not the insane dread of the suns
rays which they once had. But there is
much room for Improvement yet Many
homes are still presided over by invalid
wives and mothers, who furnish a con-
slant spectacle of sadness and misery to
their family and friends, and are sub
ject OF unlimited expense to their hus.
bands. In such homes the greatest of
all blessings that could be hoped for
would be the health of the mistress re-
stored; but too often it is the one bless
ing which never comes.
American homes, more than any
other, perhaps in the world, have been
saddened by sickly women. If this
shall be so no longer, it will be great
blessing to the nation. And the remedy
is simple. American men are as strong
and healthy as those of other nations /;
there is no good reason why American
women should not be. AL that is needed
is proper attention to dress and exer-
else. Let women dress, as men do, so
that their bodies shall not be squeezed
and pressed together, but have free room
for motion, and let them go out into the
air and sunshine, as men do, and exer-
else their bodies, and the race of Ameri-
cln women will not become extinct, as
it once threatened to.
On the contrary, it will be improved,
built up and beautihed, and a time will
shortly come when healthy man will
not have to hunt whole country over
TO find healthy wife. We are on the
right track now all that is needed is to 90
ahead, and the result will soon be mani
fest. Women will die to be in fashion
therefore let the fashion of female beauty
be vigor and strength, and all the ladies
in the land will be swinging dumb-bells,
practicing archery, riding on horse back,
and walking as for a wager, but they
will be in style.

A Funny Mistake. v

The other day an old country woman drove
up in her wagon to well,known shoe store,
and entering the same, thus accosted the ur-
bane proprietor: al want to see them ere
'Ninety-tive' Rubber Boots advertised in all
the papers. I'm thinking they must be cheap
at ninety-fve cents, and I'll just take home
two pair to the old man"
1t was difficult at first to convince the old
lady that the figures ''95" referred to quality,
not price, and that the boots were 80 per
cent sterling pure; but when she was shown
sample cut open to display the interior, and
saw that the soles were half all inch thick of
solid rubber, and that the upper and legs were
double thick she was contented to pay, not
ninety-five cents, but several dollars, Tor a
single pair OF the " Candee 95 Per Cent.
Boots" believing they would be the cheap
est in the end Tor the {" old man." The
storekeeper punched the date Of sale in
the legs so as to fix the expiration OF tho
three months warrant aud assured her in
case they did not stand the warrant, he
would give new pair free of charge.
