A PET FoR A CENTURY.

Louisiana Alligator Which Had Been
 Known to One Family Since 17T3.
 In the bayou flowing through the large sugar plantation of Gabriel Mon- taigne, lying seven or eight miles south of Thibodeau. La, there was recently killed, according to the Philadelphia Times, an alligator known to be some thing over one hundred and twenty years old. In 1773 Mir. Montaigne's fathers grandfather, immigrating to this country from France, purchased this tract of land from its original Span ish owner, and in an attempt to clear the bayou of the ferocious and aggres- slve alligators which filled 1t to the
 number of thousands succeeded in kill
 ing many of them, and among them the
 mother of several young ones, three of which he killed also, but the fourth got away, leaving five or six inches of his tail behind him, however. This one was afterward seen from time to time and always recognized by this missing
 portion of his anatomy. He grew to be something of a pet with succeeding generations, who, however, thought it safest to keep him at a distance de spite his friendly advances, but 1t has been a favorite task with tho younger
 Montaignes of the family to go out after each meal with tid-bits for Old Shorty, as he was called because of his deformity. This age of one hundred
 and twenty years Is not unparalleled with these animals, many being said tc attain the age of two hundred, though this is difficult of proving, except 1T | such cases where the creature Is marked tn some way as Old Shorty was

HOME GOWNS.

CheVIot Is the Popular Material and Vel
 vet the Best Trimming.
 A single but pretty indoor gown is of diagonal cloth. It must be of light weight, fine cheviot being the most desirable goods
 The skirt has a seam in the middle of the front breadth and is perfectly plain, with a deep hem showing. The bodice Is unique. It has a round yoke, buttoning on the left shoulder. From this point the full lower portion of the waist is cascaded to Q depth of thirty inches below the belt in the back The edge of the cascade is outlined with narrow velvet ribbon, also the yoke and collar and cuffs A velvet belt con- fines the fitness except in the front, where the cascade hangs straight from the yoke. The prevalence of gowns with inn mense sleeves, velvet bretelles and Spanish jackets trimmed with fur, has created 0 demand for loose cloaks which can be put on without an entire loss of one's temper and the utter destruction of one's gown.
 The long coat fills these requirements and is, in addition, Q graceful and ele- gant wrap It is of mode colored cloth, with straps and cuffs of rich gold em- broidery and a yoke and side panel of brown velvet The, front is straight and slightly full, fastening on the hip under an embroidered strap. The col lar is of Russian sable, and band of the fur extends across the foot of the front ... } Nothing is so full of possibilities as the soft shapeless felts, which are shown by the milliners this season. In the hands of an artist they become tri-
 umphs of skill. but otherwise they are simply scarecrows. as can be seen in a Twenty-third street crowd any day. A
 French importation recently seen, how ever, was Q real beauty. In was in vieux rose felt, trimmed with great
 black velvet bow placed against the up turned brim at one side. Black velvet and tips were on the crown, and a
 bunch of shaded pink heather nestled
 under a curve of the brim in the back
