With regard to the utility OF the
crocodile there are diverse opinions.
1t is certainly a scavenger, though
when the rapid currents of most rivers
q; taken into consideration the i'm
portance of his mission dwindles. The
author OF I'm the Morambala Marsh"
says that along the banks Of African
streams it is dangerous to approach
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 twenty or thirty feet
In length and in spite OF all these pre-
CHASTITY one. The primitive dugouts
used by the natives for travelling on
the rivers are in many cases merely
death-traps. While the man is pad
ding along, ba ely two inches above
the surface Of the river, the crocodile
seizes his hand and Drugs him to the
bottom.
On one occasion ! sent down some
letters by Hind0o merchant and
few weeks later heard that both let
tiers and postman had been devoured
by crocodiles. At another time was
strolling along the bank, and hearing
cries, arrived at the waters edge in
time to seize boy whose leg had been
caught by one OF these brutes and torn
from him. He escaped with his life,
thanks to my timely arrival.
In some places one sees thousands of
crocodiles on mud bank, most OF
them scarcely two inches in length,
evidently just Matched. A week does
not pass but in some river village walls
and lamentations are heard for fresh
victim to the crocodiles Unsuitable APP

Boon 70 South Africa.

"The secretary bird of South Afri-
ca" says Eli T. Wilson, of Washing
ton, feeds upon rats, mice, lizards,
etc., but is especially fond of snakes.
So valuable ara it's services that the
white settlers levy heavy fine on
any one who kills one of these birds.
It's name, secretary, was suggested by
the fact that the large feathers pro-
jecting from the apex of the head sug-
gested clerk with several quill pens
stuck behind his ears. 1t is about
four feet in height, and it's mawlike
bill is formidable weapon, capable
Of splitting the head of large snake
at a single blow. AS snakes do not
willingly submit to the operation,
long and exciting fights often take
place before the bird cleaves his OPP
ponent's head. Ionce came upon an
encounter of one of these birds with q
snake about seven feet long. For
several minutes the activity of the
belligerents displayed itself in feints
and blows. Finally, one lucky blow
seemed to stupefy the snake. In
stantly the bird seized the serpent
near the neck and bore it, wriggling
and struggling, aloft about 100 yards
and then dropped it. With closed
wings the bird descended so rapidly as
to reach the ground almost as soon as
the snake. Quick as thought the
bird struck the serpent blow upon
the head which killed it. list. Louis

Blessed indeed is that household
that knows not sickness and requires
no nursing; but this is blessing that
in the natural course of events cannot
continue. There are many women,
excellent housekeepers in other re-
spects, who know nothing about nurs-
ing or caring for the sick. Trained
nurses are not always desirable, even
when they can be afforded, and so we
call attention to the fact that in this
day Of practical training some
knowledge of nursing should be a
part of every girls education.
In acquiring knowledge that will
be of value in the sick room, it is not
necessary that anatomy, physiology
and materia medica should be stud
led, though it will be conceded that
some knowledge Of these subjects
may be of great use. The care OF the
sick, particularly when they are weak
or petulant is in itself a most valua-
BILE art, and one which some have
naturally, but which all can acquire.
What can the sick eat, how should it
be prepared, and how served? are
questions Of the greatest Importance,
for cooking for the sick is an entirely
different thing from preparing food
for the robust. 1t is not necessary to
take course in a train!ng-school
for nurses to acquire knowledge that
will be Of great use in this work.
There are many books published on
the subject, and these with sympa-
thetic dev otion will furnish all the
information necessary.

The SunfloWer.

Few persons appreciate the value
and profit of this common flower.
By many it is regarded q nuisance,
and yet its cultivation will pay
largely more than cotton and grown
at much less cost. An acre of land
planted about twenty inches apart
will yield an average of eighty
bushels OF seed, the oil from which
will produce about $50 gallons. The
oil cake is valuable food for live
stock. The oil Is said to be equal to
olive oil, is superior to linseed oil for
painting in spreading and drying
qualities. The stalks having long,
strong fibers, make superior paper.
The green leaves are very nutritious
as stock food and the young flower
cups very palatable to man. Machin-
cry for expressing the oil is easily
obtainable and inexpensive. Bees
have a perfect "ronanzo" in a sun
flower patch, and the seed is very
valuable for poultry as an egg pro-
Queer. The sunfower is independent
of weather and persists in growing
under the most unfavorable condi-
tions.-[A Atlanta Constitution.
