The intimacy existing between Sen.
ators Frye and German is productive Of
certain material advantages apart from
those resulting from friendship. Mr..
Frye, for example. is a prohibitionist,
SO that when any admirer sends him a
bottle of whisky or a case of wine he
turns it over to the Maryland senator.
Mr.. German, on the other hand. does
not smoke, SO that when he receives a
gift of cigars he sends them to Mr..
Frye. Both senators attend the same
Presbyterian church and occupy adj:

Peculiarities of Insanity.

The differentiation of the various
forms of insanity grows apace, and the
old cry of excessive Technology and
elaborate classification is of no ac-
count. The latest form of madness is
reported from the Asylum of Sainte-
Anne, in Paris. The patient so af-
fected is regarded rs entirely sane in
all respects but two. One an uncon-
trollable impulse to bark like a dog,
and to otherwise initiate ''all the mod
ulations of the canine voice" The
other a passion for the number three. "
The barking mania, We take it, is not
quite exceptional, for it is not Unusual
for epileptics and idiots to mimic
dog banks, and the passion for number
three is by no means uncommon
among the insane. DR.. Oliver Wendall
Holmes observed how frequently men
think IN triads. The fact is that few
men have not some peculiarly ofmen-
tai habit known only to themselves,
and the tendency to nominate every
thi1~ of the kind n monomania OF
madness is absurd. 1t will have this
effect by and by, that madness will not
be regarded as so grave an affection as
in days gone by.---Medical Press.

Eating Alligator.

There is reason to believe that the
flesh of young boiled alligator is
barely distinguishable from veal. 1t
is probably cleaner and more tender
than much of the meat of the animals
that are usually consumed as food on
the Continent or in the East End of
London. 1 have never desired to
taste the flesh of alligators, cooked or
uncooked. But in India l have seen
the Sontals and other casteless natives
greedily deyour the flesh Of an alliga-
tor without waiting to cook it.
The flesh was very pale in color,
and probably was much superior to
the flesh of snakes and rats and such
like creatures which form the ordin-
airy food of the predatory Sontal when
hunting in his native woods. 1t does
not fall to his lot very often to be able
TO clrcumVent and Stay and eat large
alligator. He more frequently comes
upon small alligators, and they go to
swell the contents of his cooking pots.
If, however, he is so lucky as to meet
a sahib who has shot a large alligator,
say about six feet long, he eagerly
falls upon the unwonted delicacy with
out waiting to cook livery much as
we read in books of African adventure,
that the natives deyour the carcasses
of the large me animals that the
English sportsmen do not want for
their own followers. - Longman' s
Magazine.

brokers' saw in regard to the loan was
a certain banker who knows Mrs.
Green. He was unable to make the
loan, and could think of no one who
could. Meeting Mrs. Green the next
day, however, he said to her: ooh,
Why didn't l think of you yesterday?

con what?" asked Mrs. Green; and
the banker explained the security, the

"You can go and see the brokers
now," he said. "You will be welcome.
A million isn't easy to raise these days,
and there is pretty commission in it
for them if they can get the money
from you. They'll be glad to see
you"
But they did not see Mrs. Green.
She had no intention of letting that
commission go astray. She saw Mr..
