HOW To PREVENT GROUP.

SOME READING THAT WILL PROVE
INTERESTING TO YOUNG MOTHERS
HOW TO GUARD AGAINST THE DIS
EASE.
Group is terror to young mothers
and to post them concerning the cause,
first symptoms and treatment is the
object of this item. The origin of Group
is a common cold. Children who are
subject to it take cold very easily and
Group is almost sure to follow. The
first symptom is hoarseness; this is
soon followed by peculiar rough
cough, which is easily recognized ano
will never he forgotten by one who has
heard it. The time to act is when the
child first becomes hoarse. If Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy is freely given
all tendency to Group will soon disap-
pear. Even after the croupy cough has
developed it will prevent the attack.
There is no danger in giving this RENE
dy for it contains nothing injurious.

The Hanladryas.

The keeper at the zoo, describing to
me the hamadrya's appearance when
it raised itself to strike, said it was
proud" and bold looking" Its action
was as swift as thought, and looked
almost like a spring from the ground.
How high when irritated the terrific
thing can strike is not known; but no
other instance is authenticated of a
snake making good blow so high as
four feet from the ground, while
marks on the glass of it's cage show
that the reptile has, in its endeavors
to escape from confinement, reached
up to the height of nine feet.
Surprising, then, that we were in
clined to believe all that the natives
of India say about it-that 1t Is so
fierce as to attack man at sight, so
vindictive as to follow him with dog
ged resolution, and add to it all we
actually know about the reptile, that
it can climb trees like an anaconda,
swim like a hydra, get over nine
foot wall and squeeze through a six
inch hole, and that its bite is death,
it would have to be confessed that the
snake-eating snake is the most terri

A BIG ALLIGATOR.
Fourteen Feet Long and Probably
More Than n Century Old.

To +. A. Dennette and his brother,
Elton ID. Dennette. belong the credit
for the killing of Fort Georges FAM
Gus gator, a giant in size and so old
that his back is crusted with barna-
cles and moss. But their encounter
with the saurian was not without eX-
element and some damage to the
hunters.
They found the gator in one of the
small creeks that make into the island,
sneaked upon him in their boat and let
him have bullet from a Winchester.
The big fellow gave a roar of pain
and rage, and at once started for the
small craft. his jaws wide open and
his tail lashing the waters into yeasty
foam. They jabbed an oar into the
gators mouth, and he crunched it into
pulp, and then they took the other to
stem his onslaught. but he broke tina,
too, and ground it into kindling wood.
When almost upon the boat he swung
his tail against it and nearly upset ii.
Elton Dennette was knocked over.
board. and no sooner had the gator
seen him than he made for him. and if
the young man had not hastily scram-
bled inboard he would certainly have
met an awful fate. The two young
men had two pairs of oars, and with
these they managed to keep the little
craft away from swing of the Sau-
rian'S tail. which would have crushed
in the sides as If they were paper.
While one of the hunters kept clear OF
the enraged beast the other kept
pumping lead into him from the Win
chester until the water was covered
with red foam, telling that the mon
ster was badly hit.
Finally he appeared 10 give up the
ghost, turned over on his back and
tiOated upon the surface. They las
seed him and lowed him ashore, but
the gator was not dead. and still had
any quantity OF fight in him, and so
when one of the SpOrtSmen ventured
too close the gator gave q lash with
his tail. Knocked the young fellow
upside down and paralyZed his legs
for the time being and went for him,
grabbing his foot in his frightful jaws
and intiicting a painful and perhaps
serious injury. 1t was two minutes
before the jaws Of the beast could be
pried open, and it was AZ hour later
before the last spGrk of life left the
reptile.
The alligator was one of the largest
seen in the st. Johns in recent years.
He measured II feet and inches in

OHL WILL STAY.
No Action Needed by the President
at Present..

Washington. June 2-It has been dis
covered that the president is not under
the necessity of making an appoint
ment TO fill the vacancy caused in the
Office of the secretary of state by the
death of Mr.. Gresham within thirty
days. as was at first supposed. while
the statute does provide that no such
vacancy can be filled by temporary ap-
pointment for a longer period than
thirty days. a preceding statute, sec
ton Ia, provides that in case OF
death, resignation, absence or sickness
of the head of any department the
first assistant thereof shall. unless
otherwise directed by the president,
as provided by section 40, perform
the duties of such head until a success
sor is appointed or such sickness or
absence shall cease. Now in this case
it is held that Mr.. Uhl, the first as.
sistant secretary, becomes acting sec
rotary without any act of the presi
dents, and so the latter makes no
temporary appointment and so is not
obliged to fill the vacancy in thirty
days, as he would be If he did make
