Notes About Aliieators.


There is nothing that gator likes bet
ter than fresh pork. and he will toddle
three miles from water for 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. Tourists became
very careless in their use of firearms, and
would endanger the lives of passengers
in their haste to get n shot before the
boat got by plump saurian. Yet it is
remarkable that only one person, a
woman, was ever wounded in these
reckless fusillades.-New York Sun.

so much to the woman of your choice.
Don't compel the companion who is
travelling along life'S highway by your
side TO do SO much on Second-claSS
fare; that is, not so long as you smoke
the best cigars in the market
Don't forget that the sunshiny side of
wOman'S nature cannot Outlive cold

Don't take it for granted that if your
wife wants little change she will ask

than petition for something to put i'll it.
Don't NEEDLE in the affairs OF the
house. The man who gives out the
weeks wash and counts the cost OF
every household move is al unmitigated
nuisance.
Don't make bolt from your clock
dinner table TO your club and leave the
poor soul who would like TO enjoy your
society to the horrors of an evening
alone. Remember that the tenderest
mother and the most unliring house
keeper would enjoy an occasional
change from nursery and home duties.

Cinnamon Kills Micr obes.

American Register.
After prolonged research and expert
ment in Pasteur's laboratory, NJ. Cham
berland is reported to have come to Il
conclusion that no living germ can resist
the antiseptic power of the essence OF
cinnamon for more than few hours.
1t destroys microbes as eHectiVeIy, II
not as rapidly. as corrosive sublimate.
Even the scent of it is fatal, and NJ.
Cumberland holds that decoction of
cinnamon ought to be taken freely by
persons living in places affected by ty-
phoid or cholera. There is nothing new
in all this. In the oldest known med
zeal prescriptions for infectious diseases
cinnamon was prominent ingredient.
and it was in great request during the
plague in London. There is no reason
for doubling that the physicians of those
days were as familiar with its medical
properties as with its odor.
