The "Gatored Mule"

'Did you ever hear of a gatorea
mule?'" asked Mr. William ca
Thompson OF New York, who is on
his way home, after a year spent in
Florida for his health.
"a gatored mule as he is called
in Florida, is one of that stubborn
race which has been driven partially
insane from an alligator fright In
fact, while mule will stolidly wait
to be thrown off a railroad by loco
motive before he moves, he goes into
wild state of terror at single
glimpse of saurian monster.
There are hundreds of gatoreo
mules in Florida TO tell the truth,
| helped to gator one myself. How
did it happen?
"Well, had been staying at 'Oca.
la some weeks, and finally agreed,
with several friends, to go hunting
in the South. About twenty miles
from town we located upon small
stream Astounding in game. After
pitching camp | went for walk, and
before long found a gator hole.
From the strong, musty odor which
issued from it, Iknew that the owner
was at home.
Calling my companions. / decided

to capture him We ramned long
pole into the burrow several times.
Finally we heard a snap like the re
port of a gun, and the pole remained
fast. The gator had seized it. We
tried vainly to pull him out. Then
some one suggested that we try ouI
camp mule We shouted. The mule
was led down to the hole, a chain
fastened to the pole, and then the
frightened animal was started.
''There was a cIeaking of chains. q
roar, and the alligator, fully seven
feet in length, came out with rush
as the mule started on wild run for
the road The saurian's teeth were
sunken so deeply into the wood that
he could not release himself, and
away went the mule, pole and all.
The alligator spun around, kissing
like a steam engine, but he held on.
while the mule, thinking himself
pursued, snorted and ran. We foI.
lowed, into the streets of Oscala flew
the mule and his queer load. Com.
pIetely exhausted. he was stopped By
a party in front of the postoffice.
The gator was dead We skinned
and stuffed him. The mule recovered,
but the sight Of a swamp now throws
him into a perfect frenzy OF terror. =

NOVEL CLOCK.
Not Exactly Perpetual Motion, Yet It
REQUIRES No Winding.

The little town of Amedee, in Lassen
county, possesses, what it sometimes
claims to be the hottest mineral springs
in the world.
The springs, and there are several of
them, are close together, but are divided
into groups by the railroad track. In
grading the track bed the workmen
closed vent, or opened one, and a
spring that had heretofore been we'll
behaved spring suddenly became aggres-
slye, forming geyser that rises to the
height OF five or six feet every thirty
eight seconds with the regularity Of
clockwork. This is invariable and a
local inventor proposes that it shall in
reality become clock. This novel
timepiece will be large one erected on
the piazza near the depot. Its outward
appearance will be that of the ordinary
town clock
Embedded in the basin of the geyser
will be a small lead box, from which will
project small steel lever, the outer end
of which is slightly widened to offer re-
sistance to the water as it spurts upward
This lever IS really the terminus Of one
Of two wires that communicate with the
clock. This lever is on knuckle joint
hidden in the box, that will allow it to
play upward but not downward below
the level.
Behind the face of the clock is merely
ratchet wheel connecting with the min
ute hand, brass dog, which is soldered
to the armature of a coil magnet, identi-
cal with that of the ordinary telegraph
instrument, and jar of gravity battery.
The lever in the little lead box bears ex-
actly the same relation to the magnet in
the clock as the key of the telegraph in
strument does to the sounder.
When the water bursts from the geyser
it carries the little lever up far enough to
come in contact with the other terminus
and the connection is made The mag
net draws the armature and dog to it,
which moves the ratchet wheel ore
notch, or, in time, moves the minute
hand forward thirty eight seconds.
When the geyser subsidies the current is
broken and an opposing coil spring pulls
back the dog in readiness for the next
move. The hour hand is moved every
quarter hour only
The hands are balanced on the inside
and the work is so we'll done that less
than weight of one ounce is required to
move the clock San Francisco Exam

Marriage in Burmah.

Destitution Is almost unknown, and
the wants of life in the temperate climate
of Burmah are more easily satisfied than
in the colder countries of northern Eu-
rope. A young Burmese couple can
start life with da and a cooking-pot.
The universal bamboo supplies materials
for building the house, lighting the fire,
carrying the water from the well, and
may even help to compose the dinner it
self. Ghe wife is usually prepared to
take share in supporting the household,
and thus she has gradually acquired a
position of independence not always en-
joyed by married women elsewhere. 1t
has been decided that, under the an
cient Buddhist custom prevailing in Bur
nah, a husband cannot ALLEVIATE property
jointly acquired after marriage without
the consent of his wife. Few marriages
take place where either party is under
fifteen, and the usual age is between
fifteen and twenty-five. Polygamy now
practically no longer exists, although in
ancient times the Burmese were polyga-
mists as we'll as Shareholders. Most
Burmese have only one wife, and few
more than two The first, or head wife,
is usually the choice of the husband in
his youth, and when she ceases to have
children she often assists in the choice of
young wife, who is bound to obey
her. The ease with which divorce is
obtained is said to be one of the causes
why polygamy is so rare. The terms of
divorce are based on ancient rules, one
of which is that the party wishing the
separation can take his or her property
and no more; the other party takes all
the rest, including the children. The
safeguard against caprice in husbands is
not merely public opinion, which con-
dennis too frequent divorces, but the
self-respect of women, which prevents
them from marrying q man who has
divorced his wives too freely. The priv
ilege of perfect freedom in this respect is
said to be rarely abused. Divorce is
very rare, a fact attributable equally,
perhaps, to the high position occupied
by women in Burmese society, the care
with which marriage contracts are en-
tered into and the extreme evenness of
temper which characterizes both sexes

usual interest to the election Of officers

II is understood that Chairman Carter
is not averse to continuing in his posi-
ton, but it is equally well understood
that he will not be an aggressive candi-
date if any serious opposition to his re-
election is manifested. Two other names,
those of Ret Clarkson of Iowa and of
Mr.. Manley of Maine have suggested
themselves to many members Of the

Manley will be avowed candidates for the

that one or the other will be chosen.

appointed by President Harrison to the
