I'm times past, and to this day, ac-
cording to current tradition, alligators
have been credited with being very
ferocious. but the fact seems 10 be that
they arc sluggish and timid. In South
America the natives often wade into
the water where they are and pull
them out by the tails. So it is said
at all events. Whea winter approaches
they imbcd themselves in the
mud of the shadows, where they
hibernate and lie dormant until
spring They breed in April and MAY,
when the female seeks sheltered
spot on u bank and constructs small
mound of. mud and other material. in
which she deposits hor eggs to the num-
Der of 100 or 200. First she lays upon
the ground Il stratum of mud and grass,
on which She deposits layer of eggs:
ON this she places another stratum of
grass and mud, then more eggs and so
on. The eggs are Matched by the sun,
assisted by the heat which the decom-
posing vegetable material generates

alligator leather is becoming dearer
nowadays on account of the increasing
rarity of the reptiles Good hides are
worth $40 each. The teeth are of an
excellent quality of ivory, from which
trinkets arc carved. OF late there has
arrived fashion of making the skin of
the feet, with the claws attached, into
pockethooks and hand satchels. The
leather has the great advantage of be-
ing absolutely water proof. From
glands in the lower jaw musk is OBJ
tanned. 1t is not of very good quality,
hnt it serves as basis for certain per-
fumes. Oil obtained from the fat is
supposed to have medicinal qualities.
Hundreds of thousands of wears ago
there were crocodiles which measured
as much as fifty feet in length. but
there are no such giants in these DAYS"

NGBRASKA'S BUILDING.

Plans of tho Edincc to DO Erected on tho
Worlds Fair Grounds.
The Nebraska Columbian commission
met atthe governors office Mt Lincoln
few days ago and examined the plans
and specifications submitted for the Ne
brasSa state building at the Worlds
Columbian exposition in Chicago for
1893. After examining number of the
plans submitted the commissioners Sc
lccted the design by A. w. Woods,
architect and principal of mechanical
drawing at the IIaish manual training
school of the Nebraska Wesleyan uni
vcrsity. The style is Romanesque and
combines the necessary qualities of
beauty, utility and cheapness, the com
mission not being willing to expend
more than $4,000. The cut shows only
the east elevation, the perspective not
yet having been finished. The building
will cover 0,652 square feet, not includ-
ing large veranda on the side adioin-
ing the little lake. 1t is to be entirely
of wood, and 1850 square feet OF glass
will give sufficient light to show off the
agricultural and general exhibit, which
is to be in hall 1COXOO feet Offices

London Thieves In parls.

a short time ago a clever fraud was
perpetrated upon a Paris jeweler by
one of the light-fngered gentry. A
clergyman of benevolent appearance
called up the tradesman and asked him
to send some jewels for his wife (who
was ill mt honey to inspect in her sick
room. The jeweler consented, and in
due course an assistant was dispatched
to a neighboring hotel. Here lie was
met by the clergyman, who, asking him
to sit down in the salon while he car
ried the ornaments to his sick wife,
withdrew to an inner chamber. The
attendant waited for some time and
then rang the bell. The waiter who
answered it informed him that the
clergyman had just departed. Neither
the divine, nor his wife, nor the jewels
were seen again by the Partisan trades
man, whose opinion of the English, con-
sequently, has not improved.

his mouth wide open. Winged insects,

could not otherwise get rid of. This
