his kind. alive. must have measured
more than twenty feet He was killed
In the lower part of Bayou Lafourche.
Probably the largest alligator ever
seen in Louisiana was killed in a small
lake on the plantation OF Ii. j. Feltus
in Concordia Parish. According to
the statement OF Mr. Feltus, now OF
Baton Rouge, this specimen measured
twenty-five feet in length. The great
reptile has long been famous for miles
around. having destroyed numbers OF
hogs and hounds owned in the neigh
borhood OF his retreat. He had be-
come so wary. from the number OF in
effectual shots fired at him. as to be
almost unapproachable. Finally he
fell victim to long shot fired from
a Mississippi rife in the hands of Mr.
Feltus who had persevered in hunting
him, having been the greatest loser by
his depredations. The huge carcass
OF this reptile was towed to the bank
by boat 1t required the strength
OF a pair OF mules and STOUT rope to
haul it ashore. where the measure
mcnt was made with the result noted
above.

The Fifth Lesson.

When the reporter writes with pen
Gil, ho should obtain one of medium
hardness only, keep it sharpened, ant
use it with soft or uncalendered paper
For general purposes, it is better to US,
a pen, the pencil in exceptional cases
! only.
Speed in shorthand is of no conse.
| quence unless what Is written can be reaC
afterwards. Legibility, or reliability
depends in part upon the accurate form
ing of the characters. To do this 1t is
not necessary to write them slowly; on
the contrary experienced stenographers
produce the more perfect outlines with q
somewhat rapid movement, just as an cx-
pericnced penman executes the most
graceful curve by a quick stroke, rather
than by slowly drawing 1t. The student
should learn at the outset to write the
characters rather than draw them. Never.
theless the beginner needs time at first,
and ought to form each character mum.
Der of times with care and delibcration
until the outline Is firmly impressed upon
his mind before attempting to write 1t
quickly. Afterwards write it rapidly, aud
continue doing SO until 1t can be done
both accurately and quickly.
In line l the first letter has the force Of
VI in three, and is called ith;' the second,
the force of III In those, and is called che.
When s has the sound of g, as in tods or
goes, 1t is called z, and expressed by O
thickened stem. s. Is most commonly
expressed by the circle; but the curve is
needed when an initial vowel precedes, as
in ace, line z, or a final vowel follows, as
in SEQ, line 8. In line 3, the first letter
cal ed ish, has the force of sh in bishop,
or u in motion. When struck upwards 1t
Is called shay. The second, called che, Is
equivalent to s in pleasure. The curves
In line are called soay and gay, and are
the same as the consonantS 10 and y. II,
always written up,odrds, is called hay, and
ng, ing. Shaded M, called emp, is equiva-
lent to mp or mo, as in temple, or tumble.
Upward r, called ray, Is used more than
the down stroke. 1t is quicker, oftener
secures O good angle, and prevents word
forms from extending too far below the
line. When the circle s occurs between
two Straight stems, it is placed outside
the cngle, as in geyser; at all other times
1t is If possible placed inside the curpe.
The circle is put on the left of up-strokes

nothing more clearly asserted its supremacy
to the ordinary remedies for this malady
than in its power to expel the rheumatic

UNSELFISH LOVE.
Love seeks not riches,
Love seeks not gold;
Love cannot be bought,

Love seeks not riches,
Love seeks not gold;
Love cannot be bought,
Love cannot be sold;
But tender words may soften the hate
That has doomed a soul to hapless fate I;
And Love may gladden. the lonely heart
That has torn itself from the world apart.
Love seeks not riches,
Love seeks not gold;
Love cannot be bought,
Love cannot be sold;
But rare are the treasures laid at its shrine,
Bearer than product of field or mine;
For heart, soul body and mind are owned
By, and are vassals to Love cnthroned
