killing CrocodiIes.

"There are two ways Of killing croc-
odiles,' writes an ex-resident of India.
Zone is by shooting with rifle, but the
most satisfactory way Of dealing with
them, besides being far the most sport
ing, is to bait a good large hook with a
bird or small animal and fasten it by
a chain to a good long rope, the end of
which is firmly picketed, the rope being
cOiled and the bait laid in shallow wa
ter. There must be lots of slack line, as
the crocodile does not swallow anything
at once, but seizes it and takes it into
deep water to gorge. A number of lines
may be laid and looked up in the morn
ing or cool of the evening. When hook
ed, it will take a good many men to
haul a crocodile out, and as he resents
the operation and can use his tail as
we'll as his jaws one or two sportsmen
will find considerable entertainment in
dispatching him with spears. Some croc-
odiles grow to an enormous size, and
their maws always contain round white
stones, and often trinkets, the relics Of
inside passengers. The writer assisted
at the death Of not extraordinarily
large 'snubnose' which had six women's s
rings in her. "-Badminton Library.

FEELS NO PAIN.

A Man Who UndergOes Without Sign
Treatment That Would Kill Another.
Three reputable physicians of Mobile
recently made some experiments on the
person of q man named Lartado, a ma
tive of Trinidad This man seemingly
is a wonder. He appears to be utterly
oblivious to the sensations of heat and
cold, and, in fact, experiences no feel
ing of pain, even when undergoing
treatment that would cause an ordinary
man untold agony He is "a years old,
is feet z inches in height, weighs 100
pounds and is perfectly sound mentally
and physically.
His father was a Spaniard and his
mother an English woman. The man
ran through his neck down to and graz
ing the trachea piece of steel wire
one-eighth Of an inch in diameter, to
which a most powerful galvanic battery
was attached and shifted from one cur
rent to another, without any perceptible
pain, but with considerable acceleratiOn
of pulse. He passed another large steel
wire into his mouth and through his
cheek in all directions, and no blood
flowed.
Another large wire was passed through
and through the large muscles of the
calf of the leg and between the biceps
muscle, in line with the bracial artery,
and through the arm above the wrist,
between the two bones of the arm, and
other like experiments in different parts
of the body, all of which with seeming
ly no pain and no bleeding from any
place but drop from the neck. In fact,
each of the openings made by the instru-
ment closed up as blOOdless and as easi-
ly as if the man was constructed of in
dia rubber. The physicians present de-
clared that it was the most wonderful
exhibition of freedom from all pain they
had ever witnessed The man never
fiinched during any of the experiments,
while the instruments were jabbed into
him with no more consideration than if
he had been a watermelon. New Or

A Maid of All Work Adjective.

inquired of the head mistress of
girls school why she so frequently made
use of the adjective "nice." She replied,
because it is such useful maid Of all
work adjective and saves one the trou-
BILE of thinkingp' ''Then you teach your
girls to be inaccurate?' 81 don't think
it is being inaccurate. The word in most
cases expresses my meaning better than
any other" A relative Of mine reproved
one of her nieces for her liberal use of
lawfully jolly" The young lady re-
piled: "Oh aunt, do not deprive me Of
that awfully jolly expression If were
deprived of it, l shouldn't know what
to say"
The frequent use of the expletive
"you know" was justified to me on the
ground that it keeps the listeners at
tention awake.
The fashionable novel presses into its
service these flowers of speech. In Mr..
Norris Countess Radna" young gen.
tleman thus addresses a young lady,
"I'm so awfully sorry that you are
going to desert us. - 'I'm awfully sor-
ry to have to go" replied the girl COM
posedly, land my parents will be aw-
fully sorry to see me-.
Of this young lady's two lovers the
author himself declares in the same
chapter (24) that one was much "nicer"
than the other In chapter 81 the nicer
one, in declining an invitation, says,
''Thanks awfully, but I'm afraid l
can't. "-Notes and Queries.

A WOMAN'S NOSE.
A Tilt Between an Artist and q Baroness
Which Promises a Good Breeze.

A Tilt Between an Artist and a Baroness
Which Promises Good Breeze.
Everybody remembers the portrait un-
pleasantness between Mrs. Mackay and
the painter Meissonier, but a still more
prominent affair is likely to be brought
out in Paris by the suit of framemaker
against a society lady whose full name
will soon appear in the trial Sofa the
Paris papers call her the Baroness de
s.
Well, this lady has a nose, but it
must not for a moment be supposed that
it is like common peoples noses Not a
bit of it. 1t is a relic Of the crusades and
further back even. In word, it is a
classical nose par excellence. OF course
the lady is very proud of this nose and
that's where all the trouble comes from.
Like Mrs. Mackay, she went to lead
ing artist to get her portrait painted.
The bargain was closed at a high figure.
She gave him several sittings and at
last ordered him to have the picture
framed in gorgeous style and sent to her
residence.

trait would cut the canvas. refuse the pic
ture. Neither judges nor tribunals can oblige
me to admit that my nose is pointed. Try to
retouch this horror if you can, and above all
things don't give me a fiat nose now. am
your servant, etc.
After reading this effervescent piece
Of literature the artist at first became
angry. Finally, however, he took page
from his album and sketched lot of
noses of all shapes and forms, including
Grecian noses, Roman noses, Roxelane
noses, Bourbon noses, parrot noses, red
noses, warty noses, thin noses thick
noses, long and short noses, fiat noses
and Behanzin noses with rings in them.
Then he wrote to the baroness this
note:
MADAME-I took pains to paint your nose just
as it is, but regret that l mistOok your inten-
tion. However, since you absolutely want nose
according to your fancy, will you have the
goodness to select one from the inclosed col

to be breezy. Exchange.

At the last regular meeting of the John
stOn town council it was voted to give
the town advertising to the Providence
News. For some time past the advertis-
ing has been done by the TINES in a sat
isfactory manner, as far as we know.
The only reason given for the change is
that the News will do the work for less
money. AS the TINES was not given an
opportunity TO make bid for the work
an element of unfairness is very evident.
There is very prevailing opinion that
home industry should be encouraged and

of bolstering up a political organ.

A kABYlE MARRIAGE. :
The Ceremony Is Complicated and Winds
Up With an Exciting Incident.

Up With an Exciting Incident.
The wedding ceremony among the
Kabyles is interesting because Of its
comparative resemblance to the customs
Of the old Greeks and Romans and even
to those which still prevail in seques-
tered parts Of France. Here it is the
girls father who exacts wedding por-
ton, a sum Of about f8, for which the
bridegroom has generally to rely upon
the advances of his friends Often, too,
the young man has not house for his
bride, in which case his friends set to
work and build one, no very difficult
matter.
On the wedding day the bride is led
through the villages in the neighbor-
hood, mounted on a mule and escorted
by friends and relations, who shout and
fire guns again and again. The various
househOlders hasten forth to offer her a
sieveful of beans, nuts or dried figs. Of
these she takes a handful, which she
kisses and then replaces in the sieve.
All the offerings are collected in sacks
by the old women of the procession as
contributions to the young peoples lar
der.
At the bridegroom's house the girls
hands are washed with liquid butter.
Then they give her some fresh eggs,
which she breaks on the mules head
and inside the unhappy animals ears,
thereby, it is believed, counteracting
any evil designs against her and her
husbands happiness. Before entering
the house she drinks milk, fresh and
sour, and also water, and scatters over
her shoulder handful of barley, wheat
and salt for the good Of the family.
The husband then approaches her and
fires pistol above her head to signify
that thenceforward he has the power of
life and death over her. Not infrequent-
ly he makes the symbol even more en-
phatic by firing into her headdress and
setting her af1ame. This done, little re-
mains except for the youth to lift the
lady in his arms and carry her bodily
into his house. All the Year Round.
