Babies Used for Bait.

If mothers in general shared tho
nerve exhibited by mothers in Ceylon,
trouble would be spared in many
households: "Babies wanted for GRO.
codile bait. Will be returned alive
newspapers abounded in Ceylon as
much as crocodiles do, advertisement
like the foregoing would be common
in their want columns.
As it is, the English crocodile hunt
or has to secure his baby by personal
solicitation. He is often successful,
tor Ceylon parents, as Il rule, have
unbounded confidence in the hunters
and will rent their babies out to be
used as crocodile bait for small con-
sideration. Ceylon crocodiles suffer
greately from ennui; they prefer
to lie quite still, soothed by the
suns glittering rays, and while
away their lazy lives in meditation.
But when q dark-brown infant,
with curling toes, sits on bank and
blinks ut them, they throw off their
cloak OF laziness and make their
preparation for q delicate morsel
of Ceylonese humanity.
When the crocodile gets about half
way up the bank, the hunter, conceal
ed behind some reeds, opens fire and
the hungry crocodile has his APP
petite and life taken away at the same
time, the baby being brought home
safely to it's loving mamma. The
sportsman secures the skin and head
of the crocodile, and the rest of the
carcass the native make use off,

Young Mems Fad.

A strange fad of the young men OF
the present day, says Globe-Dem-
ocrat interview, is darkening the eye
brows and eyelashes. This amounts
to a positive craze, and l assure you
l could give you a list OF at least
twelve young society men who come
in frequently to have their eyes doc
tored." They imagine this process
gires IN expression of strength to
the face which is otherwise lacking.
The stuff used tor the purpose comes
in tiny box, and is a black powder.
In the box is little kid pencil, similar
in form to the stump OF bender
used by u crayon or pastelle artist.
This tiny kid implement is dipped in
the black powder, and applied in q
dextrous manner, first to trace the
eyebrows darker and into the desired
shape. After this the eyelnshes are
touched, and then a straight line Ia
drawn under the eyes on the lower
lid, At each corner is put the final
touch. little dash of the dark pow
der. which gives o languid look
which is presumed to be captivating.

ly when covered up so as to confirm
the beat generated or when subjected
to artificial heat, either from steam
or hot-air flues or that of the sun.
Oily rags are very liable to burn
spontaneously, says the Toronto
Monetary Times, and are doubtless
often the cause of fires in factories,
junk shops, or paper mills which ara
supposed to be of incendiary origin.
Canvas when painted with oil paint
and rolled up or packed closely in a
confined place ispretty sure to burn.
Ordinary oiled clothing, such rs is
worn by sailors, when piled in heaps
on shelves or elsewhere, is very sub
ject to spontaneous ignition. Such
goods should always be hung up, so
as to admit of IL free circulation of
air around them. Spent tnn-bark
will ignitespontuneously when stack
ed up in heaps. 1t is for this reason
often used in whitehead works to
generate carbon dioxide by its fer
menting in the corrodinC beds.
The moistening of such tiberous
substances as cotton. hair, or wool is
always attended with slight heat.
Wet iron filings generate heat readi-
~, as does also rusting iron. Very
fine fragments of iron and steel, by
their rapid oxidation, will become
red-hot, and some English scientists
declare that the fires known to be
caused by steam pipes constantly in
contact with wood, originate from
the rust of the iron. An English au-
thority says:
when oxide of iron is placed in
contact with wood excluded from the
atmosphere, and aided by a slightly
increased temperature, the oxide
parts with it's oxygen, and converted
into very finely divided particles Of
metallic iron having such an atfinl
ty for oxygen that, when afterward
exposed to the action of the atmos
phere from any cause, oxygen is alb
sorbed so rapidly that these parti
cles become red hot, and if in sutfi
cient quantity will produce a tenn
perature far beyond the ignitabl'
point of dry timber. Whenever irol
pipes are employed for the circulation
of any heated medium whether no
, water, hot mir, or steam), and whore
ever the pipes are allowed to be
/ come rusty, and are also in close con
} tact with wood, it is only necessar
r to suppose that under these circun
> stances the finely divided particle
t of metallic iron become exposed t

sion of or contraction OF the pipes

Plain Women.

The question is often asked, says
correspondent of the Commercial Ad.
v,rtser, why is it that so many
plain women marry well, whilepretty
girls either do not marry at all, or
make matches that are failures from
a mental, social and pecuniary stand
point??'
The fact is womap's idea of a man
is OF u creature differing but little
from the domestic quadruped with
which she surrounds herself in the
home circle.
He is evidently to her not a supe
rior being, not the noblest work Of
God, with mental faculties cultivated
to the highest degree of mortal at
tainment, with noble aims and high
ambitions, Il pure soul and clean
hands, who always strives after the
best and brightest that earth can
give.
A pretty girl in early youth is sur
rounded 10y II set of vapid boys. Ma.
turally she forms her Judgment ofmen
from them. Therefore her idea OF
mankind is not an exalted one. She
finds that to look pretty and to dress
tastefully, to dance, and chat upon
the most frivolous subjects, is all that
is required in order to be success.
Pretty women, rs rule, do not
give ns r~uch thought to the cultiva.
ton of their intellect as they would
devote to the manufacture OF new
bonnet.
For brief space. while youth lasts,
her wares apparently find satisfac.
tory returns. Men praise her pretty
face; they seem to enjoy her society;
she is, therefore, sa tistied. But after
youth has fled CARRYING with it her
bright eyes, her rosy checks and
roguish dimples, when mind and not
matter is to be weighed in the bal
arre, how grievously is she then
wanting! There was no soul behind
the bright eyes to keep them forever
brilliant, nor mind to illumine the
pale face, and keep it forever fair.
All that she ever possessed or cult
waited she finds it then too late tC
avail of. She lacks the energy to be.
stow her care and attention upon
graver matters, and thus embittered
by the cold looks and colder words
of her quondam admirers, she sinks
into state of apathy, drifting aim
lessly with the tide, and finally end
life of dreary mnidenhood, withou
having made better or brighter ont

A Western Judges Difficulty in Saw
ing a Prisoner from Himself.
The stories OF early western judges
are almost as numerous ana incredi-
ble as the bear stories of that part
of our country. The following incl
dent which is vouched for as fact, is
of a Judge who had II very lofty idea
of his own legal capacity and was at
the same time anxious to sustain
the dignity of his court.

him. There was no direct evidence
as to the perpetrator of the murder.
but the individual arrested was well
known, and, indeed confessed the
deed.
When brought into court the Judge
cautioned the prisoner not to COM
init himself; that he must remember
his rights as n free citizen. and that,
above all things, he must not inter-
rupt the proceedings OF the court.
After the friendly warning the Judge
proceeded TO state that he, the priA-
oner. was accused OF having, on such
II date, shot the deceased.
Upon this the prisoner broke in,

The Judge was annoyed at the in

sternly.

upon which the prisoner again broke

A Clever Fraud,

Speaking OF diamond smugglers
the cleverest fraud ever perpetrated
upon the American revenue was in
vented by diamond merchant in
New York. For years he was known
to be smuggling precious stones, but
the customs detectives could not
catch him. Every time he returned
from Europe he was carefully search
ed, and it was even proved that he
did not swallow his diamonds before
going ashore. His buyers, too, were
searched. but never was anything
found except few inferior stones,
and these he did not conceal. Traps
were set to capture the willy old cul-
prit but without avail. At last a
detective learned that whenever one
OF the suspected firm arrived in New
York upon a certain steamer, another
OF the firm or an agent took the
same vessel upon it's return trip to Eu-
rope and also secured the same state.
room 1t was further learned that
they invariably took the entire state
room, 80 they were alone upon the
voyage. This led to the discovery Of
the fraud. 1t appears that the deal.

put back the flooring and replace

he left the diamonds, too, in theil
place of concealment, and, OF course
the detective never found any in his
possession. A few days after, wher
the vessel was about to depart fol-

firm or agent, having secured thu
state-room for the return trip
would go on board. accompanied
by mis- confederate. The latter woul'

Threesweet-looking girls got on an
electric car recently bound for West
Peachtree street. They sat and gig
gled pleasantly until the conductor
came through the car to collect the
fares. Then with equal promptness
each of the girls reached tor her
purse, and the following converse
uion ensued:
All three at once-Oh let me pay.
May-No, it's my turn; l insist on
paying.
Clara-Girls, it's really my turn to

Then the three purses were simulta-
neously opened and the three pretty
faces grew scarlet. Two cents and q
postage stamp was the wealth OF the
crowd.
Without needing the offers offinan-
cial aid which came from several gen.
tlemen, the three girls hurried out Of
the car, and AZ it rolled away they

Opon-Air JailS.

Acorrespondent writing from Italy
gives some interesting details OF the
treatment of prisoners on various
italian islands he visited while on a
trip in the Mediterranean. Each OF
these islands contains several hundred
prisoners, who are locked up every
night at sunset, released 1T daybreak,
and locked up again from midday unss
til 2 o clock. During the nighttime pris-
oner is allowed to be absent under
any circumstances, but at midday
those who work on farms at q dis
lance from the prison are allowed to
remain out by special permission from
the director. During these free hours
the prisoners can go anywhere they
like on the island and can engage in
any work offered them by the towns
people or farmers. Any infraction OF
the rules OF ordinary lite around them
or OF their prison, is punished by Sc
clusion in special cells. The Govern
ment furnishes physicians and med
icines, a summer and winter suit OF
clothes to each year, and allows each
10 cents daily in money for his food
and,other necessaries of life. Danger
OF oscar pc is prevented by a squad OF
soldiers, one to every 10 criminals,
and swift-sailing felucca, manned
by marines. On account Of the
cheapness of labor the islands are &C
highly cultivated as to resemble
| gardens.

Poisoned In a Museum.

A bundle OF arrows from the Solo.
mon Islands was sent to England
many years ago, and deposited with
other curosities In n museum at
Colchester. A gentleman visiting
the museum f.,olishly handled these
weapons, and, feeling the point Of
one of these arrows, inflicted IL prick
like that of a pin. He died OF it IN
raving agony, three days afterward.
The symptoms are invariably those
of tetanus or lockjaw, malady for
which no remedy has ever been dis
covered.-Pittsbure Dispatch.
