""'GatOred Mules"

The washington News says that a
"'gatored mule" is, according to Flor
ida dialect, mule that has been
driven partially insane by an ALI
gator. There are hundreds of such
demented mules in Florida. and it is
a fact that they are never the same
after a genuine fright of this sort.
helped to gator one myself,
writes traveller. L had been stay
ing at Ocala, and finally agreed with
several friends to 60 hunting in the
south. Some distance from town we
located upon small stream abound
ing in game. After pitching camp
/ went for walk, and before long l
found gator hole. From the strong,
musty odor issuing from it, / knew
the owner must be at home.
l decided to capture him, and
called my companions. Several times
we rammed long pole into the bur-
row. Finally we heard snap like
the report of gun, and the pole re-
NAMED fast. The gator had seized
it. We tried vainly to pull him out.
Then some one suggested that we try
our camp mule. The mule was led
down to the hole, a chain fastened
to him and the pole, and the fright
ened animal was started.
There was creaking of chain: a
roar, and an alligator fully seven feet
in length came out with rush, as
the mule started on wild run for
the road.
The saurian's teeth were sunken so
deeply in the pole that he could not
release himself, and away went mule,
pole and all. The alligator spun
round, kissing like a steam engine:
but he held on, while the mule,
thinking himself pursued, snorted
and ran. We followed. Into the
main street of Ocala flew the mule
and his queer load. Completely ex-
hausted, he was stopped by party OF
men near the postoftice.
The gator was dead. We skinned
and stuffed him. The mule recover
ed, but the sight of swamp now
throws him into perfect frenzy OF
terror

Then the animal is placed on an
elevated platform and made entirely
comfortable while the disease pro-
gre .ses. The little cuts first seem to
heal over. Then in few days the
scabs grow larger and larger till they
extend almost over the entire hind
portion of the leg. In seven days the
cow is ready for the next operation.
The affected part is darker and each
little point of scaritication is swollen
and raised, like a blister, with DIT
of depression in the cente-.
The blister is punctured or in some
cases removed. Underneath lies the
LIQUID serum or vaccine lymph, as 1T
is called. Then upon the ordinary
ivory points, which are now generally
used. the operator gathers his store.
He does it simply by dipping the

sits behind the animal.

A mining expert, sent to investi-

WINTER DIET.
A Few Hints by VIII ch Go ID Health May
BE Attained.

A Few Hints by VIII ch Go ID Health May
BE Attained.
Few people seem to give any
thought to the appropriateness Of
food to the season of the year, says
the New York Ledger. With the
coming cold weather many people re-
main a great deal indoors, occupying
rooms which are often kept at a high
temperature and with, of course,
very much less fresh air than they
are accustomed to during warm
weather. This has a tendency to
create feverish condition of the
system that should be counteracted
by free indulgence in fruits of all
available sorts
For such purposes there is nothing
better than good apples eaten raw.
If children were permitted to eat all
the fresh apples they craved through
out the winter there would be fewer
diseases and deaths: while for adults,
those who are of fairly quiet habits
and who remain indoors great deal,
there is nothing in the whole range
Of food products as useful.
1t is claimed that severe cases Of
govt and other rheumatic difficulties
may be entirely cured by the free use
CT apples. In the absence q apples,
raw potatoes, eaten with little salt,
are most excellent corrective of bad
humors. An eminent lawyer of this
country claims to owe his excellent
health largely to the habit Of eating
raw nOtat0eS w tn salt Whenever
he feels feverish or out of condition
this is his medicine, and for years he
has taken no other.
Oranges, lemons, grape fruit, pine
apples in their season, and all acid
fruits, are valuable for people of sed-
entary habits. Almost all persons
might improve their health if they
would but give little attention to
some of the most simple of natures
laws, and when this boon is SO cheap
" purchased the wonder is that it is
so much neglected.

Jig Home. Sweet Home" which con-
tains twenty-eight notes and con-
sumes fifteen minutes in the singing.
Obviously Patti is underpaid. Both
artists must submit to long, arduous,
and more or less expensive training
there is no advantage on either side.
Each, to be sure. starts out with the
divine gift. If Corbett is premier in
his profession, Patti is premiere in
hers. Yet the slugger makes more
than four times the wages Of the
singer. AS for fame, where is Patti
now? These are considerations of in
terests to young people hesitating to
choose a profession. The moral is
plain. As between pug and diva, be
a pug if you can. But if you can't
pug, diva. Even Patti makes four
times as much as anyone else on earth.

Conf sion Of Ideas.

A Cumberland clergyman has often
urged an old woman in his parish to
20 to church. and he so far prevailed
on her that she attended on Sunday
morning. However, by mischance,
she got into pew belonging to a
regular attendant.
The verger went to her and beck
oned her to come out. At the same
instant the harmonium commenced
playing, whereupon the old body,
skating her head at the verger, said,
Its nea use asking me. you nun
git somebody else. as ali can't dance.
