doubt but want to give them the benefit Of It."
After few words he said no would give the rest
OF his time to modest brother in his delegation, and
started up the aisle to his seat. Dr. PendIeton sot

Encounter with an Alligator.
Flaru the GaincsyiI { -la) Advocate.

l.. w. Jackson lost some cattle day
or two ago, and started out 10 hunt
them, accompanied by his dog. In
hunting around they came across an I'M
mense alligator, but as his gatoTship
was engaged III watching some calves,
he did not notice Mr.. Jackson and bis
party Che having been joined by two
irlends.) Mr.. Jsckson's dog not being
very well up in the gator business
commenced the attack at once. A.
soon az his 'gatOrship could change his
mind from calves to dog he made a
sweep with his tail that brought the ca
nine around TO bis business end, and
before the dog had time to think of his
past, made snap that would have end
ed his career then and there,
but the gator niscalculated
his distance, and instead OF
taking the whole dog, tail and all, he
got his tail only. The dog being thus
freed, started on a home-run; but the
gator wanted dog il be could not get
calf, and therefore started after him,
rolling over and over This method Of
lOcomotiOn was 50 unusual that the dog
became Disguised, and made such good
time that the gator gave It up, end
turned his attention 10 his human enc
mics. They iii their turn armed them
selves with fence rails, and then the
fight was fast and furious. The gator
would take the rails between his teeth
and crunch them as if he enjoyed them
as a diet. 70 vary the exercises he
would snatch a rail and sweep il round
over that section Of the country, max
ing ms assaIldnts give him plenty OF
room. Finally, after a terrible struggle,
he was forced 10 go where all gators 90
and hunt calves and dogs no more.

A Machine to Blow Bottles

scribes it:
The molding is done mechanically

machines is thus served by four hands.
three Of whom are boys Upon the
occasion OF our visit one pair Of ma
chimes were running upon soda water
bottles, and the other pair upon pint
beer bottles, which were turned out at
an average rate of l20 per hour per ma
chine, very perfect bottles being pro-
duced
The repeating machine consists of a
circular turntabie reyolYed by machin-
cry around a central pillar. The whole
apparatus is feet in diameter by feet
over all, and at four points around its
circumference are placed at equal dis
tances, four holding machines. Each
Of these is similar in principle to the
single machine, although, Of course,
slightly different in detail and CON

each machine in turn passes before the
gatherer, who charges it with molten
glass. The charged mold then passes
on Il quarter Of a circle to the next point
where the mold is automatically turned
upside down and the interior Of the
neck Of the bottle is formed, the proc

which it is conveyed to the anneaiih2
oven, into which it Is placed, by a boy.
The cycle Of operations wsll thus be
seen to be as follows: While the first
bottle is being automatically discharged
second bottle is being finished a
third one being reversed and having its
neck punched, while the fourth is being
cast-that is, the molten metal is being
filed into the mold. With regard to
the saving, the actual output to one fac

felt it his duty TO give each young couple
little serious advice before he per-

this purpose he usually took them aside,

Don't DO It.

Says prominent Boston publisher:
I mean, if you are contemplating
writing a book, don't do it, Don't waste
your time. Don't be led away by the
infatuatlon of book writing. Don't
think that you can write the Great
American Novel that you have heard
SO much about ever since you we

is strewn with wrecked hopes, with I'M
satisfied ambitions, and with bitter dis
appointments. Where there are May
aspirants for the chaplet of immor-
tality, there are few, indeed who reach
the goal of their fondest hopes. There
Is nothing so precarious and eyasper-
ating as the struggle for public approval
Of literary productions. The venture
is a good deal like lottery, and the
best productions are not always the
most successful Accident, caprice,

author, and irretrievably ruins the
