How to Keen an Alligator,

Philadelphia Times: To keep an ALI
gator alive the following points must be
observed:
First-Don't handle the animal. Ali
gators are by nature very bashful and
dislike anything like notoriety, especially
when it involves being held by the tail
for half an hour for the OBLIGATION of an
appreciative audience.
Secend-An alligator is apt to be par
ticular about his habitation. Get a tub.
fill it with enough water to allow the pet
to swim around freely, and place some
rocks i'll it so that he can get up out of
the water whenever he feels too damp,
and change the water frequently. EN-
pcrts have proved than an alligator can
live or Schuylkill water alone if fire.
qucntly changed. They prefer it to
sponge cake.
Third-lf, as a fine point, you wish to
feed the alligator, this isthe safest way to
do it: Get n small piece of raw bee.
place it on the end of Il stick and iab il
~viciously toward the alligator's mouth
lie will snap it up at once, not becaus,
be is hungry, but because he thinks he is
biting you. A true Florida alligator has
only II object in life and that is to bite,
and he shows perfect impartiality in his
choice of objects to be bitten. Do no
feed him oftener than once a week. ana
don't get worried if he does not eat then
His refusal is not Il sign that he is sick OF
in love: he is simply too lazy.
Four.h-Avoid the use of all alcohol,
beverages. J fyou wish your alligator to
arrive at his full growth of 81 feet s
inches, an early course of strictly temper.
ate living cannot be too early impressed
on his young mind.
Lastly-Don't fool with his teeth; they
arc no. wholly for ornamen:.

Blowing the Mayors Horn.

Among some Of the numerous cor

mentioned the blowing of the ..burgh-

members of the corporation were, in
days gone by, summoned together.
ilIs custom probably dates back to
Anglo-Saxon times, having been in
some places continued until IL own
times. at Ripon an ancient horn is
preserved which is sounded every dav.

Worth Remembering.

All flesh is not venison.
Hunger is never delicate.
Turtle makes all men equal.
Many dishes bring many diseases.
The knife doesn't make the cook.
Even sugar may spoil a good dish.
Mans greatest enemy is his stomach.
Happy is he who has no friend to feed.
Cheerful looks make every dish q
feast.
A good dinner is better than a fin,
coat,
Two poyerties will keep but u thin
table.
Rich food and heavy groans go To-
gether.
Where hunger commands, valor mus,
obey,
Never carry two watermelons under
one arm.
Hunger's my cook, and labor brings me
meat.
The dinner ended we value no more
the spoon.
He that's full takes no care for him
