rabby whipped an Alligator.

A house cat belonging to Mr.. Walton
was in the habit of going to the river
and feeding on mussels and such fish as
1t could get, and it was noticed several
times that when the cat moved along
the bank a ripple in the water showed
that an alligator kept pace with it in
the water The cat, however, was
aware of the alligators presence, but
showed no signs of fear
One day the cat approached too near
the water IN its eagerness to get a fish
and was gTaSped by the hind legs by an
alligator about three feet long The cat
made a spring and got away, but its leg
was bitten badly and bled freely. The
taste Of blood seemed to put the alligator
into q frenzy, for it came out on the
bank and continued the pursuit. The
cat turned on its enemy, and then began
one of the fiercest fights seen in a long
time. The cat was SO quick that it was
impossible for the alligator to get a bite
at it, and the result was that the saurian
soon endeavored TO beat retreat to the
water.
But the cat now began an offensive
attack and cut off the way, biting the
alligator in the throat and tender spots
under the arms until the reptile was
bleeding and almost exhausted. The
fight continued, and when at last the
alligator gave up it was bleeding from
hundred wounds, The cat was SEEM
ingly unhurt, except in the wounded
leg, which was injured before the fight
began. Vernon (Fla.) Cor St Louis

A CITY of Homes.

but it seems to me that it will be- diff
ficult to find another influential trad
ing and manufacturing city that is
so peculiarly a city of homes. 1t was
after riding over mile after mile of
her streets and boulevards, and not
ing the thousands of separated cot
tages, each in its little garden,
that came to a locality wherein
there were a few very few apart
ment houses. They were not what
we in New York call tenement
houses" for the poor seemed superior
to the evil, and lived in their own
tiny boxes; they were flat houses
for families few in members and in
dolent by nature.
These were so very few that the
array of dwellings took an eXtraor-
binary importance. Try, then, to
fancy the pleasure and surprise with
which l read in the city directory
afterward a statement that the city's
164, 73S inhabitants occupy 32,026
dwellings. If there were 921 more
dwellings there would be one to

one to each family. Julian Ralph in

Some Fine Italian MOsaics Exhumed.
From an archaeological point of view
an interesting discovery has just been
made in this neighborhood, about half
mile to the north of the famous Villa
Livia. at Prima Porta, on the Via Fla
minia By the merest accident, in the
open campagua have been found the re-
mains of what must have been most
spacious villa So far the discovery con-
sists of the pavements of nine rooms, all
of them executed i'll the most beautiful
colored mosaics. In the principal room
the design represents a Medusa's head
surrounded by garland of the most
delicate design intertwined with birds
and leaves, in which the various colors
are most perfect But perhaps the floor
with the most beautiful design ever un-
earthed is that in a smaller room ad
joining that already spoken of 1t rep
resents an Egyptian scene Of goddess
holding a snake, which is drinking out
of cup, while another figure is present
ing bird.
Nothing could surpass the beauty Of
the colors or the grace of the design,
and the whole is as fresh and vivid as if
it had been just executed. Unfortu-
nately there seems to be nothing but the
flooring of the villa left. The govern
ment has come to an arrangement with
Signor Piacentini, on whose property
this interesting discovery has been
made, to buy the mosaics and have them
carefully brought to museum in Rome
