THERE is large trade in alligators teeth in the south, for they are treas ured as mementoes by tourists. In Jacksonville one may have them mount ed with aluminium, gold, or silver as vinaigrettes, and they are sometimes prettily marked and tinted. A great many boars' teeth are sold for those of alligators, but the difference between them Is decided, those of the boar curv- ing into quarter circle, while those of the alligator are rounder and nearly straight. Apropos of both animals, there is nothing that gator likes better than fresh pork, and he will toddle three miles from water for a Florida razorback. In cool weather he buries himself in mud and becomes dormant until it grows warm. Hunters still make living by killing him for his hide and teeth. The killing of alligators from the decks of river steamers in Florida has been stopped by law.

All for Notoriety,

The most remarkable illustrations of what men will do to gain notoriety were furnished in a recent article in the New York Herald, where the strangest incidents of gastronomic feats are recorded. One man, for a wager of s1,5OO, ate 1O6 quail in 41 days, taking brace each day, 1s on the thirteenth day and 15 on the forty first day. And still he lives. Another, for s25O, ate 1000 oysters in a week, taking no other food. A guzzler of eggs ate 21O in one day, taking 40 at one sitting. He gives exhibitions of his powers at a regular salary per week, and, an ordinary feat for him is 150 eggs per day. Another mans fame is based on 112 pies in two weeks, or ap- pie pies per day, with no other feat. The last is, perhaps, the champion o1 all these gastronomic ,cranks, if there is no trick about his performances. He claims he can eat and digest ground glass, and that he has taken as many as fne-cut ground glasses in one day By these feats he has earned S9,o0O ir six years.

THE collector of the port of San Francisco is preparing his drag net to scoop in about 10000 Chinese on May 5. The Geary exclusion act provides that the Chinese who have not been regis tered shall be shipped back to China at that time. The Chinese, by that date, will have had a year in which to have their photographs taken and be regis tered. Of the 50, ,000 in San Francisco, Oakland and other places in the col lectors district, just siXty-one have registered. If they had all decided to register at once not one-tenth could be accommodated. When the sixty depu- ties appointed to register Chinese were discharged, on the first of the year, the Chinese thought the law had collapsed The collector, however, has made all plans for the biggest roundup of Chinese on that day ever seen in this country. By hiring a large force he will arrest simultaneously several thous- and Chinese. Those found without passports will be bundled into express wagons, with their baggage, and taken to the wharf. From there four tugs will convey them to Goat island, in the bay, opposite San Francisco and three miles away, where temporary buildings W ill be erected to shelter them till they can be shipped back to China. The tugs will be provided with an armed guard and a tug filled with crack rifle shots will patrol around the island. In this way 1t is estimated that 20,OOO Chinese can bo comfortably housed on the island till they can be put on board the China steamers and sent out of the country.

the Right Time.
 A name honored whenever spoken.
 Such is the high reputation of the Hon. Walter S. Lovejoy of Tapleyville, Mass, who has lately been brought so prominently before our people.
 MT Lovejoy is of an illustrious family. Indeed the brilliant and scholarly Prof. Loveioy of Macon (Ga) University is no other than his son. The professor, in passing through town, spoke feelingly of his fathers recent illness, and became enthusiastic concerning his restoration to health. He stated that it was per fectly wonderful to see the change in his fathers health since he took the we'll known medicine, Dr Greene's Ner- vura blood and nerve remedy. And the Hon. MT Lovejoy himself was found overfowing with gratitude toward this great remedy.
 ''I was very low indeed" he said, "I suffered from vertigo and heart disease. I had frequent attacks of faintness and failure of heart action. These attacks were sometimes so bad that it was with great difficulty the heart could be re, stored to its natural action.
 "I was totally incapacitated for either

ONE of the new features of electric medication is the introduction of drugs into the human body through the skin. This is done by placing solutions of any drug upon a sponge, which is made the positive pole and placed against the skin. When the current is turned on the drug is actually driven through tho skin into the tissues. The application is not at all painful. Thus cocaine has been driven in over a painful nerve. and neuralgia has been relieved by it.

THE new home rule bill grants to the Irish people every advantage offered by the bill of 1886, and a number of addi- tional advantages. The measure will be supported by the McCarthyites, and also by the Parnellites. The latter, how ever, will ask for certain changes and amendments before they can give it a hearty commendation. There is every probability, too, that the liberal forces can be held together to pass the bill, and that Mir Gladstone will not permit adverse action by the house of lords to force him to another election.

From the st. Adams Messenger
Home investments are the safest and
pay as good interest as any in the world.
This bare proposition is capable of demon
stration by transaction which occurred in
St. Adams. A man 16 years ago invested
S1250 in real estate in st. Adams, and dur
ing all these years has rented it so advan-
tageously that he has netted $1,000 above
what he has paid for repairs and taxes,
and he recently sold the property for $1700,
which makes a net income of $4,000 on an
investment of $1250 in l6 years. If any
western investment has paid as much with
the same certainty of security the name
of the investment has yet to be given. The
moral of this is too plain to require any
further explanation.
