what now n asked pa.
Martha Shafer stopped here going "a
her work in the tailor shop, and said
that she had been directed to ask ali the
neighbors TO GO to Mrs. SIoane's to-

convenient; that we were TO see Mrs.
Sloane ia bloomer dress,n
Aunt Lois explained to Cousin Liza
that Mrs. Sloane was a big, aeshy WOMB
an, and would look about as graceful as
COW in bloomers.
''Pity. isn't It, such people don't have
some work to do, SO they wouldn't make
themselves SO ridiculous getting up
tbings!" was another OF Ma Eomers'
wise sayings, as she added msFe and
more to her store of baking.
In the afternoon the neighbors
dropped in to Mrs. Somers' as a sort OF
headquarters, and talked over the whole
question Of dress, and Of city people
thinking country people did not know
anything.
They decided they would not go near
the house.

Of the story the other day. He said she

reckoned there were some books in the

to get it out of the way, until it was
put in the cellar there of the old house
where he has his shop. He got a candle
and told her to come on in the cellar
and not fall over the old stairs, and then
he put his hRnd into an old cheese safe

there is nothing in common between
the crocodile and either the bulbul Or
the bull. There is no definite informa-
ton to be obtained regarding the ex-
act lines upon which the first crocodile
was built. 1t is maintained BY those
who have devoted a lifetime to q study
Of his interior that the traces Of a dia-
phragm which are to be found in him
to-day show that his Organization must
have at one time borne some resenr
blance to that Of w~arm-blooded ami
mails.
There is little in the animal Kingdom
chat can look so dead and be SO much
alive as a crocodile. The number Of
unsuspecting persons who have mis-
taken him for a log and have failed to
discover their mistake until it was too
late to be of any benefit to them will
never be known. In ancient times,
several years prior TO the British occu-
patton of Egypt, some of the people OF
that country ~worshiped the crocodile as
a god, there being nothing else like
him. They fed him on dainties and
logged him out with Jewels. In other
parts OF Egypt, however, the natives
looked upon him as a devil. Having
no firearms, they did not fill him with
lead, but they managed to immediate
him successfully with such weapons as
were fashionable at the time.
The crocodile is not so numerous in
the Nile as he was in the days of the
Rameses family; in fact, he rather
shuns the river now below the second
cataract on account of the annoyances
~inseparable from tourist traffic. It
seems impossible for a tourist to see a
crocodile without trying to plug him
with a revalver, and to a reptile that is
fond of a quiet life this sort of thing is
simply insufferpbIe. He will not me-
lest a mar unless he can take him at a
disadvantage, and so long as man does
not, unthinkingly, step on him, the
crocodile win go his way and calmly
await his opportunity. &
His methods Of capturing large gUme
are plural as well as singular. Some
times he win lie on a river bank, partly
covered with sand OF mud, until an
absent-minded native wanders within
reach. Having grabbed his prey he
will waddle into the water and there
drown the struggler. He will then
drag his victim ashore and bury him in
sand OF mud and wait for days before he
gorges himself.
His fayorite plan of providing food
for himself in the water is to depress
his head and tail and float withthe cur
rent. While performing this act he
looks like an old, b~lackened log-
Though he is perfectly happy on lane,

MRS. SLOANE'S PARTY.
BIZ MARY JosLrN SMITH.

It was on the morning Of the 18th Of

the city folks that had taken the Burr

kitchen was a wonderful place. Mr..

pies and Lawton blackberry pies that
morning, getting the fruit all from
their own place. Cousin Liza was maxi

size came she made soft ginger cake.
They had her recipe written in a book,
with all the particulars, but no one
could make cake with just the tremble
and the shake that Cousin Liza could.
The recipe was plain:
Two eggs; butter the size Of an egg;
tablespoon Of ginger; cloves; CHINA

A sensible way to Treat Prisoners.


California has a novel and excellent
way of maintaining discipline in the
state prison at Folsom and it is said that
the method is proving highly success.
full. There are no dark cells i'm the
prison, corporal punishment is nnheard
of, tyingAhpsby the thumbs is never per-
mitted-in short, none of the old modes
of punishment are recognized in this
prison. The system in vogue is this:
When a new prisoner is received he is
informed that they have three different
bills of fare in the prison and that it is
optional with each man as to how he
lives. If he is industrious, orderly, well
behaved and in all things conforms
strictly to the rules of tbenrison he is
served with excellenV food nicely
cooked. He a have chops, steaks,
eggs, tea and cofeey milk and white
bread If he is only fairly we'll behaved
and does not do his allotted task proper
IL, is inclined to growl and grumble at
the regulations of the institution, he is
given ordinary prison fare-porridgc
and t~reacle, soup and black bread, and
If he is very insubordinate he is allowed
to feast on unlimited quantities of cold
water and a rather small allowance Of
bread. There is said to be an intense
rivalry among the ~convicts to enter the
first class and once there it is seldom
that one of them is sent back.-PacifC
