An African Pest.

With regard to the utility of the croco,
die there are diverse opinions. 1t is Ger
tainly "a scavenger, though when the rapid
currents of most rivers are taken into con-
sideratiOn the Importance of his mission
dwindles. The author of "In the Moran
bala Marsh" says that along the banks of
African streams it is dangerous to ap-
proach the river edge. Water for domestic
purposes is obtained from the top of the
banks by means of a cup attached to a
bamboo pole 90 or 80 feet in length, and in
spite of these precautions the death roll is II
most CHASTITY one.
The primitive dugouts used by the ma
tives for travelling on the rivers are in
many cases merely deathtraps. While + e
man is padding along, barely two inches
above the surface of the water, the croco-
die seizes his hand and drags him to the
bottom.
On one occasion l sent down some let
tiers by a Hindoo merchant, and few
weeks later heard that both letters and
postman had been devoured by crocodile.
At another time l was strolling along tie
bank, and hearing cries arrived at the wa
ter's edge in time to seize young boy
whose leg had been caught by one of tn e
brutes and torn from him. He escaped with
his life thanks to my timely arrival.

DOWN IT, OR 1T WILL DOWN YOU.

The Stomach Not Easily Dethroned When
Once 1t Obtains Mastery.
One of the greatest misfortunes that can
happen to man in his earthly career is
to discover that he has a stomach. He
may know it theoretically or recollect the
lessons in physiology of his schoolboy days,
but when he finds out by actual, personal
experience that he has stomach he is to
be pitied. The whole science of gastrono-
my-and it is a science-has been devised
and perfected for the benefit of the men
who have made this discovery. All the
studies of the whole glittering galaxy of
gastronomists, all the culinary triumphs
Of the great restaurants in the capitals of
She world, are due to the simple fact that
men have found out that they have stom.
Rchs, and that that organ, when once dis
covered must be petted and 1attered and
Boothed and kept in good humor to pre-
vent its revolving and creating revolution
and civil war. 1t is safe to say that the
primitive man never knew that he had q
stomach. 1t has been reserved for civil
cation to make the discovery, and it is by
no means foregone conclusion that civil
lization should pride itself upon having
done so.
The maxim that one never enjoys a
good dinner until after it has been eaten
is refinement of modern and degenerate
days, containing much sound philosophy
from certain standpoint, but that stand.
point is a fictitious and mistaken one
There is no natural reason why dinner,
good or bad, should be enjoyed The one
object of eating is to satisfy hunger, and
that being done the dinner should be for
gotten. 1t is only the imperious and ar
bitrary stomach which insists upon fur
ther recognition of its claims, and it is
only human weakness which submits to
It's demand. A modern philosopher, in
terse though inelegant diction, has laid
down this maxim, which is almost lido
matte, "You must down your stomach, or
your stomach will down you.'' There is
more in this than will meet the eye of the
casual reader. The stomach may, as GER
tain of the ancients believed, be the real
seat of the emotions, passions and affec-
tons, but we make great mistake if we
subordinate the ego to a single organ, and
especially to one which is only too ready
to presume upon the favor shown it and
the license given it. Healthy children
know nothing about their stomachs, ex-
cept that they ache sometimes if called
on to do double duty, and there is moth
ing SO healthy and happy in the world as
a healthy child. If children of larger
growth could but ignore the gastric organ
or forget it, dyspepsia would become lost
disease, and all the evils that follow in its
train would disappear. Francisco

Praising the Chinese Servant.

Of Denver, land my belief is that the Chi

They will do just what you tell them to
md in the way that you tell them to do it.
A combination of three virtues constitutes
their principal fault-they are industrious,
Obedient and frugal. Hence they will do
more work, do it more willingly, do it
cheaper and save more money than any
other race of people. The difference in
wages is not as great as is generally repre-
Iented, and the coolies on the fruit farms
in southern California, where have seen
more of them than any place else, are paid
Is well as similar labor is elsewhere. As
house servants they are par excellence.
They will obey the rules of the household
and do not draw the lines as to what their
duties shall or shall not be. They can be
relied upon and are not given to changing
employers. st. Louis Globe Democrat.

Sioux, who at that time simply swarmed

"Those Yale professors just worried the

after another long fight, when just about

dolphin emerging from the sea gave it
pause, and it rose again, returning almost
directly upon its former course. This pro-

the storekeeper. Yes; I've got letter, ;
and the old woman clutched it to her
bosom as if it was the dearest thing on
earth to her, and with quick step born
of happiness she walked out. L wrote
that letter myself, said the storekeeper
to me. Her son went down the river on
a raft three years ago and was drowned.
