Nests OF Alli:ators,

AlligatOrs' nets resemble haycocks
more than anything else to which
they can be compared. They aver
age about four feet in height and
about five feet in diameter, and are
constructed OF grasses and heritage.
First tie mother gator deposits one
layer o. eggs on a mortar-like floor,
and, having covered this with a
stratum Of mud and heritage about
eight inches thick. lays another set
of eggs upon that, and so on to the
top, there being commonly from 100
to 200 eggs in a nest. With their
tails the parents then beat down the
tall grass and weeds to prevent the
approach Of unseen enemies. The
female watches her eggs until they
are Matched b. the heat of the sun,
and thnn takes her brood under her
own care, defending them and pro
viding for their subsistence.

The Mohammedan Heaven.

The Mohammedan paradise is a
fairyland. To enter it the believer
must cross seven bridges, at each of
which he must answer questions re-
lating to his past life. Having crossed
the bridges he is at the entrance.
There are thirteen doors. The frs:
act is to take bath, which gives to
the body great brilliancy. This abode
OF delight is built of bricks of gold
and silver held together by mortar
of musk. Spring is eternal Four
oceans soothe the senses-one of
water, one of milk, one of honey and
one of wine. Waves OF perfume en-
velop them, so powerful as to be
noticeable 500 days march away
Lastly come the castles of the hours
seventy castles with seventy rooms
containing seventy state beds and
seventy tables already set, and in
this castle 1850. 700, 600 houris. This

seventy robes of green brocade en-
broidered with rubies and topazes.

UNWONTED PROBATION.
The Woman Who Is as Afraid of Elec-

trio Cars as of Mice.
The woman who is so afraid of
electricity seems 60 get commoner
every day. She took about five min
utes to board a Boston horse car
lately, just because there was an cleo
trio car directly behind it. The con-
ductor encouraged her all he could
from the platform, but after casting
startled glances at the big car stand
ing on the track she would make an
Intellectual attempt II reach the steps
of the car in front of it, and when
within a few feet of it she always
lodged back with a little squell, as if
she thought the car would jump the
track, trolley and all, for the sole pur-
pose OF running her down.
1t was not until the policeman saw
the dilemma and took her by the arm
and led her aboard that she accom-
plished the feat Even then she came
in muttering: I can't help it. I am
scared to death OF electricity" 1t goes
without saying that she was young
and pretty. Otherwise no one would
have bothered to wait for her, and she
might still be lodging out into the
street and back In fact she was so
pretty that the conductor ami police
man were patient, and it IS surprise ug
that some man on the car did not dart
into the street and fetch her d board in
his arms. She was so scared that she
would not have minded such gallan-
tIy.

ROBBERS AND wREcKERs.
They Made Eighty-T Attempts in the
FIRST Six Months of 1893


FIRST Six Months of 1898.
The Railroad Gazette has collected
statistics of train wrecking and train
robbiug for the first six months of
1898, which yield some surprising re-
suits. One Is accustomed to think of
train wreckers and train robbers as
infesting sparsely settled Western
states, but statistics show, on the con-
trary, that such crimes are most prev
alent in well-settIed states. The Ga
zette's figures show sixty-one attempts
to wreck trains and twenty-one at
tempts TO rob them. Massachusetts
and Illinois heads the list in the num-
Der of attempts to wreck trains, and
Ohio follows.
In these three advanced states were
made more than one-half of all the
attempts to wreck trains, and the
state of New York follows. The only
explanation offered for this prepon-
derance of train wrecking in well-set-
tied and, generally speaking, we'll
governed states is that the mileage of
railroads is greater in those states
than in others, and that tramps, VINO
are responsible for most attempts to
wreck trains, flourish in thiclly set
tied regions
The geographical distribution of
attempts at tram robbing are still
more curious. Iowa heads the list;
Indian Territory and Oklahoma taken
together have the same number; Texas
follows and then comes Kansas and
Nebraska SiXty-seven per cent of all
the train robberies occurred in these
four states and two territories.

water superintendent's report as correct,
and it was then adopted.
The plat OF the Third addition to South
Aberdeen was returned by the city attor-
ney with the verbal report recommending
that, although certain vacations had not
been made, it be adopted. Keith objected
to verbal report on the ground that they
should be better informed so as to guard
against taking any action which might
cause the city expense. The attorney was
then sent for and he explained that he
did not think any one would be injured,
but that it would be better for all parties
if certain corrections were made, and he
accordingly prepared a written report rec
ommending the rejection Of the plat,
which was accepted.
Ordinance No. 100, which appears in

ATTEND THE CAUCUS TONIGHT!

Rev. Butler to Leave II. T.. Church.
The following from the Seattle Post-I In
telligencer OF the 10Th will be OF interest,
but not altogether surprise, to Rev. T.
w. Buffers many friends in Aberdeen:
"The fact that Rev. DR.. T. w. Butler,
Phi. d., at present pastor OF Grace M. f.
church, intends shortly to withdraw not
only from his present charge, but from
the Methodist Episcopal church, is no
doubt news to his own congregation as
we'll as to other churches of that denomi-
nation in this city, yet such is the case.
DR.. Butler does not deny that he intends
to go into the Congregational church in
course OF time, but will not say how soon,
nor where his first charge will be.
"That DR.. Butler is dissatisfied with
the Methodist church and it's rules has
been no secret to his friends for some
time. He never openly stated that he
intended to leave it, but since the last
NJ. +. conference especially he has freely
criticized it, and expressed a desire for a
different field than that it afforded him.
This desire seems to have crystalized into
determination within the past few weeks,
for it is now stated on good authority that
DR.. Butler has been asked to take charge
Of the First Congregational church in
Everett, and that he has accepted the
call, and will go to that city to begin
work at once"
The P.-I. further quotes Rev. Butler ::
"The Congregational church at Aber-
deem, where was pastor Of the Methodist
Episcopal church before coming here, has
made me a semi-official offer, and it is
one would be greatly pleased to accept,
but hardly feel at liberty to go there to
take charge OF rival to my old church.
There is but one effect it could have, and
that is that it would draw many Metho-
dists there into the Congregational church,
and that would seem not just right"
