Babies for Bait.

From the Pail Mall Gazette.
Babies wanted for crocodile bait Will be
returned alive"
If newspapers abounded in Ceylon as much as
crocodileS do, advertisements worded like the
foregoing would be common in their want col
umns. AS 1t is the English crocodile hunter
has to secure his baby by personal solicitation
He is often successful, for Ceylon parents, as
rule have unbounded confidence in the hunters
and will rent their babies out to be used as
crocodile bait for a small consideration.
Ceylon Crocodiles suffer greatly from ennui
They prefer to lie quite still, soothed by the
suns gllttering rays and while away their lazy
lives in meditation. But when dark brown in
FAINT with curling toes sits on a bank and binks
its eyes at them they throw off their cloak of
lazinesS and make their preparations for deli
cate morSel of Ceylonese baby humanity.
When the crocodile gets about half way up the
bank the hunter, concealed behind some reeds
opens up fire, and the hungry crocodile has his
appetite and life taken away at the same time
Tue sportsman secures the skin and head of the
crocodile and the rest of the carcass the natives
make use of.
This way of securing crocodileS might be OBJ
jected to by American mothers. The American
infant imagination might be shattered by the
devouring gaze of a healthy sauran who hasn't
had his dinner; but we are creditably informed
by certain English crocodile hunters that the
average Ceylon infant displays a passive ndif.
ference to his advances. and that the only thing
which frightenS him is the report of the gun.

Adams Knives and Forks.

There are number of things that the most
fashionable and well-bred people now eat at the
dinner table with the fingers. They are:
Olives to which fork should never be ap
piled.
Asparagus, whether hot or cold, when served
Whole, as it should be.
Lettuce, which should be dipped IN the dress
ing or in little salt.
Celery. which may be properly placed on the
table cloth beside the plate
Strawberries when served with the stem on,
as they usually are in the most elegant houses
Bread, toast, and all tarts and small cakes.
Fruit or all kinds, except melons and pre-
serves. which are eaten with a spoon
Cheese. which is at most invariby eaten with
the fingers of the most particular people
Even the leg or other small pieces of bird is
taken in the fingers at fashionable dinners. and
at most of the luncheons ladies pick small pieces
of chicken without using fork.

The Atlanta Constitution printed the fol-
lowing among its editorial paragraphs the
other day:
How does Congressman Norwood stand
on the question OF free lumber9 This is a
very important matter in Southern Geor-
gia.
1t is not clear from the above whether the
important matter" to which the Constitu-
tuition refers is Mr.. Norwood's standing on
the question of putting lumber on the free
list, or whether it is the putting lumber on

Mr. J. II. Woodward, who made quite a
reputation as the newspaper correspondent,
Jaw Hawker," is now a railroad magnate
and politician of the Pacific SLOPE and
owns farm near San Francisco valued at
100000. He thinks Judge Gresham is
gaining ground as a Presidential candidate.
and would ''sweep the Pacific States like
high pressure blizzard skips over Dakota. 8"
Mr.. Cleveland, he says, is regarded as an
able and honest man, who has given the
people good administration, but his tariff
views would prevent him from carrying the
Pacific States. All of this can be taken for
what it is worth. Perhaps Mr.. Woodward
doesn't understand the situation any better
than other people.

All is not harmony in the Republican
camp on the tariff question. The leading
Republican organ of the West, the Chicago
Tribune, is pushing Judge Gresham for the
Republican Presidential nomination. This
makes the leading Republican organ of
Pennsylvania, the Philadelphia Press, sus-
picious of Judge Gresham, and it demands
to know at once whether or not he is free
trader 1t will be too bad if the Press finds
it necessary to squelch the Tribune's candi.

Washington people are still talking about
the reported intention of Miss Cora Fellows.
of that city, to marry full blooded Indian
at the Cheyenne Agency, where she is
teaching school. The Rev DIR. Sunderland
the Presidents pastor, secured for her the
appointment she holds, and is interesting
himself in the matter. The report has not
been authenticated, Miss Fellows having
failed to answer kilograms of inquiry from
her father and DR.. Sunderland as to its
correctness. She was requested, in case she
intended to marry the Indian, to postpone
the marriage, presumably until some one
could see her and induce her to give up her
intention. 1t is not probable that the mar
riage will ever take place.

Judge William A. Stewart, of Baltimore,
has had saw mill stolen from him, and he
is so tickled over the thief's sharpness that
he opposes his arrest. Several days ago

mill, which was not in operation, and sub
seouently he hired a truckman to remove
all the machinery, which he sold for $700
He then departed for New York Two
policemen saw him remove the mill, but
his manner impressed them with the belief
that he had bought it, The earth does not
contain a sharper specimen of mankind

An Old Dime.


From the Netv Orleans Times Democrat.
Worn smooth by many fingers,
No date adorns the dime
About whose round disk fingers
The fancy Of this rhyme;
| wonder who first sent it,
Alone in Traffic's war,
What oldtime fellow spent it,
And what he spent it for?
Miss Liberty is lopt in
The glory of her locks,
Often she's been dropt il

A dozen times for candy
have no doubt it went
When Yankee Doodle Dandy,
With every breeze was blent
At last, it's journeys ended,
1t rests removed from harm,
By silver links suspended
From baby's rosy arm:
What if its life were checkered?
1t finds new hope at last,
And starts a righteous record
To recompense the past.

The situation in New York appears to be
favorable for Democratic victory next
fall. The Democrats will go into the fight
with several advantages They will have
the prestige Of success in 1884 and 1887, the

placing the government in the hands Of the
Democrats, and united party. Added to
these the Erening Post says the effort TO

U. S. NAVAL NOTES.

The Vandalia, second rate, Mo-
hican, third rate, Monongahela,
store ship, are the ships now in COM
mission at Mare Island yard. The
Iroquois, third rate, not in commits
sion at present, is also here. All
four of these ships are awaiting re-
pairs. Work has been temporarily
suspended upon them by recent or
ders from the Navy Department to
give an opportunity of overhauling
the accounts for expenditures and
ascertain what work has been done.
All these ships properly belong to
the Pacific Squadron, to which they
have lately been attached, the Van
dalia having at present served but a
portion of her cruise. The Monon-
gahela, store ship, when placed in
order, will most likely be stationed
at Honolulu, as more convenient for
the supplies of the squadron than
the former station at Coquimbo,
