KILLING ALLIGATORS.

How Cubans Go About Strengthening the
 Man-Eating Saurians.
 "Come," said Don Manuel; i've will show you how harmless alligators are when you know them, and what a simple thing it is for Cubans to kill | themr'
 Moving stealthily along the edge of the lagoon, we suddenly heard here, there, beyond, and again as if all about us, heavy splashes in the water, and the quick parting and subsequent trembling of countless swaths of reeds showed where unwiedly objects had made startled passages. We were among a school of alligators. How many? Well, may be several thou sand within square milei" answered the don, complacent- ly. Jose had a tremendous gua- brahaca clumped stick, as large, almost
 $ heavy, and quite as strong as a crow bar, in his hand. At word from Don Manuel he glided forward and flung himself in a reclining posture on a firm bit of ground perhaps fifty feet from the edge of the lagoon, while the don and myself hid in the edge of the jungle. An almost uncomfortable silence of perhaps half an hour ensued. Then gentle splashings among the reeds were heard. These were shortly fol- lowed by many soft, half-whistled gruntings. Directly the heads of two alligators parted the reeds where Jose lay motiOnless. For time these were also mOtionless as an oriental study in bronze. Then the bodies followed, slowly and cautiously at first, but soon with incredible rapid ity they moved upon Jose. I believe l was never so appre- hensive and excited in my life. ''Si- lence!" hissed Don Manuel. Instantly one fOpped about, scampered to the land-edge, and whisked himself into the bayou. But the other, with snap ping eyes and quivering jaws, was bent on having Cuban meat for break fast. In another instant he was at Jose's side. The latter bounded into the air like rubber ball. Ringing his canvas hat into the alligator's jaws, which snapped and crunched it hldeously, the guabrahaca stick whistled through a wide air circle and descended with crash into the rep tiles skull. Before its first quiver and sprawl Jose's machete was through it's shoulders foot into the solid soil be- heath, and this bull alligator, seven- teen feet in length, was dead. Three alligators were dispatched in this re- markable way.-Edgar Wakeman's Cabag Letter

LOVE OF NATURE.
Noble Trait Which Has Been Developed
 Within the Present Century.

A Noble Trait Which Has Been Developed
 Within the Present Century.
 No one who reads our English litera- ture of a hundred years ago or more can fail to see that the writers of that age cared nothing for the grandeur of mountain scenery. They speak of mountains as horrid, gloomy, forbid ding. If any scenery appealed to them it was the most artificial terrace and tamest lawn.
 There was little sympathetic study of nature then under any form. Angling for trout and the fox-hunt were the only pursuits that could sug gest the eager search for rocks and plants and bugs, that is now carried on in the fields and woods. This newly awakened taste for out-of-door study, and this curious observation of nature is reflected in the literature of the time, and is often commented upon by writers.
 In his recent life of Gouverneur Mor- ris, MT. Roosevelt takes occasion to say: "It must be remembered that the admiration of mountain scenery is, to the shame of our forefathers be it said, almost a growth of the present century,"
 As companion piece to this state ment of an American writer, may be taken what Mr. Davies, an Englishman, says of his experience in Holland.
 We were disappointed at the scarci- ty of birds of any kind either upon the Zuyder Zee or in the country generally; and here it may be mentioned that we did not meet with single person of natural history tastes. Of the many we questioned on the subject, none in dulged, nor had they any friends who indulged, in such childish pursuits. YoWth'S COmpaniom.

The Special Purpose Cow.

In the selection of a COW for butter It is being learned that COW that will give thirty pounds of milk a day, that yields one and a half to two pounds of butter, is better than one yielding only half as much butter from twice as much milk; and the claim that the big COW will be worth more for beef in the end disappears in the light of a second thought, when any dairy man can see that he loses more every year that he feeds poor butter COW, if butter-mak- ing is his business, than the COW will be worth for beef above the cost of fattening. With beef at present prices the butter-maker would do better to keep good butter cows, even if he puts them in compost when their usefulness is past. But there is no need of this extreme measure There is no COW that will fatten quicker when dried off than one that gives rich milk, k,-Mirror and Farmer,
