which is described in said bill. unto II certain

That the said Walter Walters is dead, and

terest thereon from February ,, 1892, except
S132.3O still remains due and owing by the

How to Keep an Alligator.

To those who may think of keeping an
alligator a brief description of the best
way to house him may be useful Procure
good sized box, say two or three feet
square, and baking pan about half the
size of the box to hold the water, which
should be changed every day or two;
then cover tho floor of the box with sand.
Put glass or wire netting on two Of the
sides and on the top of the box. Glass is
better because it retains the heat in the
box, but you must be sure to freely admit
the air.
For food raw meat given on a straw, to
Seem alive, flies and worms and small
live fish form an alligator's favorite diet.
But as he is not demonstrative his air of
content is apt to lead one to neglect him
unless special care is taken. Remember
that the alligator is accustomed to the
heat of Florida and keep him in a warm
room during the winter.
l am sure that alligators are more intel
ligent than they are generally thought to
be. Indeed l have heard of one in a South
American country which, having been
caught when very young and patiently
trained, would follow it's master like
dog and was perfectly dooile.-St Mich

THE VASSAR GIRLS LAMENT.
We send the pigskin flying
Like n burnt out shooting star
AS We play our games of football
Up here at cid NaSSar.
We chase across the gridiron,
We plan the rush and run,
But w . the balls kicked DER the goal
The NasS@r girl is done.
For her there are no plaudits,
No shout of victory,
No thund rous tongues to raise the cry.
No thousand eyes to see.
"You've won the camel You've won the
CAMEL
Our freshmen comrades say,
But there's no mighty voice to shout,
"Hurrah for Rose and Grayi"
ooh, why is this?" we cry aloud.
"Giyc us the reason true,
Why is it that the Rose and Gray
Can't kick with Orange and Bluef"
"Hush, hush, my dearsl" the teachers

Unto the players say.

why Tunnel Rails Wear Out.

Steel rails are known to have a short
life in tunnel and other places into which
the fumes from locomotives are discharged
This appears to be due to the conversion
of the sulphur in coal into sulphuric acid
and tho subsequent chemical action of the
acid upon the steel.

DEAR SIR: hereby acknowledge receipt of
check from your Company for SO, AS. 40, in
settlement of my policy taken twenty years
ago.
am more than satisfied with the results
shown, as have not only had protection for
20 years, but in addition have really made a
good investment of my money, as you have re-
turned to me all the money paid by me TO-
gether with 4.3 per cent. interest. My total
outlay for the $1,000 policy was 81 SOB, and
you now return to me Sc, 44S40, or nearly half
as much again as paid in. and this notwith-
standing the fact that | not paying the
high price which an Endowment Policy would
cost.
You also Offered me Paid-up Policy for
So, S35, or TO pay me back 20 per cent. of all
premiums paid, and in addition have my Paid
up Policy for So, 900, all of which propositions
exceed my expectations
Yours, very truly,
(Signed.)
JOHN L. KELLY.
The above statement shows the settlement
of a twenty payment life policy with twenty
year tontine provisions, written in 1874 ano
maturing in 1894, issued by the Equitable Life
Assurance Society. After indemnifying his
family against pecuniary loss, to the extent of
s., 900 by death for twenty years, the owner
draws in his life time 81 ,945, more than his in
surance cost him, being return to him of all
the money he paid for his insurance with inter
est of nearly AZ per cent. per year.
No other company can show results as prOfl-
table as above on similar policies covering the
same period of time.
The Equitable issues policies on the life of
ladies on the plans upon which gentlemen in
sure, and those who desire to provide for those
dependent upon them in the event of death,
and at the same time provide for an income in
later life, have an opportunity in company
where policies are as safe as a government
bond and much more profitable.

Letter From Mr.. Altheus johnson of
Washington.
Washington. D. c., March l, IS

Washington, D. G., March l. 1895.
AS throwing sotne light upon the extent TO
which au educational qualification would J.
feet suffrage III South Carolina, call your at
tention to the follow Ing hgures:
The census returns of the United States for
1890 show the popuais4n s .od od tne sfass S aSoy I'VE
were white and 470,232 were colored. or the
33 ia whites. 60 443. or l79 per cent. were IL
Iterate of the 47O.232 colored, 3Ol ,262, or 84.l
per cent, were iliteTate.
The relative proportion of males and fe-
males, an shown by the same census, Is very
close In South Carolina, the excess OF females
being less than one and oneseventn per cent
and the relative proportion or illiteracy, as
between the sexes, Is also very close, namely,
1913 per cent. OF the males and 41.6 per cent Of
females.
pretty well indicate the relative ratio OF ILL
teracy In the male population above twenty
one years of age ciassed according to color,
namely, II per cent OF the white and u per
cent of the coored are llliterate.
Illiteracy in the above figures means inabil-
ity to read or write. That Inability, however,
ought hardly to be taken as decisive OF ones
fitness 10 WELD the ballot; for many persons
whose Judgment in the practical affairs OF
life Is excellent and whose moral character Is
good, are unable 70 read and write; and yet
nobody would regard IL as impolitlc or UNSAFE
TO trust such persons with the ballot. The
practical question is how to give 1t 10 such
persons without also giving II TO others who
are in no sense worthy OF II. Permitting ev-
ery property OWneI lO VOlt WlIuOuL ISBdlu w
his educational attachments, will answer the
question in manner; and still there may be
persons here and there deserving OF the bal
lot who are neither freeholders nor yet able
TO read and write. The only way to reach
these latter persons II any such there be, Is
to permit some officer. or officers (for Instance
the Supervisor, or Board Of Registration) TO
be invested under the law with the power OF
using a little judgment or discretion IN de-
Ierniug the Intelligence and fitness OF all Hit
crate nOu u-ireeholders that may apply for the
elective sranchiSe; and hence the alternative
test that put into the educational provision
which suggested last week, namely. that, If
q; person were not able to read any article OF
the constitution or any section OF the statutes
of the Stale, he should be able to understand
and reasonably explain The same when read
| to him."
In some constitutions much great margin
than the above Is left for the operation OF the
judgment of election officers: for instance in
| Connecticut, where the constitution pre-
scriues among other requisites for voting,
that the person shall sustain good moral
character" 1t Is nearly always the case that
something must he left 10 the taithlulness OF
The officers who are charged with the admin
| tstration OF the law.
