>
From the Washington Star.
In the bayou flowing through the large
sugar plantation Of Gabriel Montague,
lying seven or eight miles south Of Thibo-
deaux, La, there was recently killed an
alligator known TO be something over 100
years old. In 1773 Mr.. Montaignes fathers
grandfather. immigrating to this coun-
try from France, purchased this tract Of
land from its original Spanish owner, and
in an attempt to clear the bayou OF the
ferocious and aggressive alligators which
filled it TO the number Of thousands sue
ceeded in killing 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 bis
tail behind him, however. This one was
afterward seen from time TO time, and al
ways recognized by this missing portion Of
his anatomy. He grew to be something of
pet with succeeding generations, who
however, thought it safes, % keep him at a
distance despite bis friendly advances, but
it has been favorite task with the younger
Montaignes of the family to 90 out after
each meal with tidbirs for Old Shorty, az he
was called because Of his deformity. This
age Of l20 years is not unparalleled with
these animals, many being said to attain
the age OF 200, though this Is difficult Of
proving, except IN such cases where the
creature is marked in some such way as
Old Shorty was.

Therapeutic Character of Vegetable Acids.
The antiscorbutic properties of certain
vegetables and fruits are in some cases of
fully equal value to their nutritiye quail.
ties, and the amount Of potash salts and
mild vegetable salts thus contributed to the
blood is well understood by physicians.
The rhubarb stalk is noted in this respect
for the malic acid and binoxalate Of potash
which 1t contains. The acidity of the lemon,
orange and other species of the genus citrus
is caused by the abundance OF citric acid in
their juices; that OF the cherry. plum, peach,
pear and apple from the malic acid in their
pulp; that of gooseberries and currants-
red, black and white-from mixture OF
malio and citric acids; that of grapes from
a mixture of Inalic and tartaric acids; that
of the mango from citrie acid and very

from a mixture of citric, malic and tartaric
acids.-New York Tribune.
