are accommodated at COLO, but chiefly at

AMERICAN METHODS VS.. ENGLISH - Ac-
cording 10 Science the United States has re-
Gently been complimented by an eminent
English authority, Sir Lyon Playfair. on
its enlightened policy in reference to scien-
tific investigation. In some respects, he
says. this young country is in advance of
all European States in joining science to its
administrative offices. He points particu-
larly to the excellent work of the United
States Fish Commission, ard makes this
amusing comparison of the English and
American methods of promoting fisheries.
In England there are expensive commits
sions to VISIT the coast and question the
fishermen and the fishermen, having only
knowledge of a small area, give the most
contradictory and unsatisfactory evidence.
" In America, the questions are put to ma
tnre and not to fishermen" and the results
of the inquiry are therefore far more fruit
ful. In this bright antithesis-questionin
nature, not the fishermen-there is ready
answer to those who wish for practical
science, not abstract science 1t seems
" practical TO question fishermen; the pro-
cess proves to be fallacious. 1t seems lab
stract' to question nature but this method
is found to be the surest road to positive
knowledge, and hence to the best results.

CLEAN HEADS AND Coon HEALTH-A
clear head is rarely found beneath an I'M
clean scalp; but clean head and good
health are, generally, associates. A distin-
guished physician, who has spent much
time at quarantine, said that a person
whose head was thoroughly washed every
day rarely took contagious diseases, but
when the hair was allowed TO become dirty
and matted it was hardly possible to escape
infection. Many persons find speedy re-
lief for nervous headache by washing the
head thoroughly in weak soda water.
Cases are reported to have been almost
wholly cured in ten minutes by this simple
remedy. Some persons find that it relieves

recent times. He was once making

of that island, and was being enter
tanned in the most hospitable manner
by the native Rajah, or Chief, of the
place he was then in. A feast had been
made to which he was hidden, and to
which he went, taking his own native
servant with him. The banquet had
proceeded for some time without inter-
ruption, when at last, as a crown of
the feast, beautiful brown roast joint
was Thought from the back of the house
to the open airy place where the repast
was being held. This was cut up with
out remark, and handed around, and
the Dutch gentleman was on the point
of eating his portion, having raised
part of it to his lips, when his servant
rushed forward and stopped him, say
ing: master, master, do not eat-it is

toned, admitted, with no small pride
at the extent of his hospitality, that
hearing that the white man would feast
with him, he had ordered young boy

that the joint before them was the best

Autul1-. MISUNDERSTANDING,

The men who hunt alligators for their
hides and teeth are now reaping q rich
harvest The hunters receive 81 apiece
for all hides four feet long and up
ward.
Two young men killed fifty alligators
in one week recently in this naigshhor-
hood. They begin hunting as soon as
it becomes thoroughly dA'k. Their
hunting outfit consists of bull s-eye
lantern, in camp language called ''look
'em up" double-barreled shotguR. or
''kill @'em sure and Ratchet, with
which they split the alligator's skull, to
which they give the very expressive
name of 'dynamite,'' The man who
is to do the shooting for the night fast
ems the lantern to his forehead, and
takes his place in the bow of small
boat. His partner paddles the boat
cautiously along the stream, while the
man in the bow keeps a sharp lookout
for alligators' eyes, which, under favor
able circumstances, he can "shine"
with his lantern at distance of 200
yards. As soon as they discover a pair
of eyes they paddle cautiously up TO
within couple of feet of the alligator
head and discharge load of bnckshot
into it. AS soon as the shot is fired the
paddler catches the alligator by the
jaws, which he holds together with one
hand while he cleaves the skull open
with his Ratchet.
Sometimes the alligators retain con-
siderable power of action. When such
is the case it is rather exciting work
getting them into the boat. Some
times very large alligators turn the boat
over. If an alligator is not handled at
once after being wounded, he sinks to
the bottom and is lost.
I asked one of the hunters, who has
killed more than 1000 alligators, what
was the size of the largest one he ever
killed, and he told me 134 feet long.
He said that his father killed one on the
st. Johns River ~! feet long, the head
OF which, when placed in a AonF bar
rel, projected two inches over the top.
He sold it to a museum for $65.--H.

The skeleton in Mos, Closets.

Few houses have as many closets as
the ladies like, yet, in Difference to the
known fact that they will always try to
induce their husbands to take house
with seven closets in preference to one
with six, they usually have more than
the landlord likes.
Closets are not always innocent
from a sanitary point of view. Many
things which it would be disagreeable
to have in bedroom are packed away
in the closet; the housekceper forgets
all about them for months, and they are
often treasures of moth and mold.
The closet reserved for the soiled linen
of the family is the worst one. DR.
Benjamin Richardson has very truly
said that a people which was really civ
ilized would have thoroughly venti
lated room set apart for the entire fam
ily to undress in, where the clothe!
could be hung upon rods and thorough
" purified by draughts of cold air dur
ing the night. From these remarks thu
conclusion may be drawn that closets
in which clothes are kept ought to b.
ventilated. Philadelphia Record.
