Club Dinners In Gotham.

When the clubs of New York were
fewer and their houses were smaller
than they are now, the restaurants had
monopoly of all the big dinners of a
semipublio character. Every one of the
dozen or more large clubs in New York
now has a kitchen where dinner can
be prepared for several hundred people
with as much attention as the largest
restaurants could give to it Many
large dinners have been given at the
new Metropolitan club. During the
winter the Lotos gives half adozen din
ners In its clubhouse, each one Of which
is attended by 200 or more people, and
as many as 275 persons have been dined
there. The University and the Manhat-
tan clubs give large dinners from time
to time. OF course such dinner neces-
states tho services Of extra walters. but
it does not strain the kitchen service, -

There is little in the animal kingdom
that can look SO dead and be so much
alive as crocodile. The number of I'M
suspecting persons who have mistaken
him for log and haye 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 occupation of Egypt, some
of the people of that country worshlpped
the crocodile as god, there being moth.
ing else like him. They fed him on
dainties, and logged him out with jewel
ry. In other parts of Egypt, however,
the natives looked upon him as devil.
Having no firearms, they managed to i'm
molate him successfully with such weap-
ons as were fashionable when the croc-
odlles was son numerous in the Nile as
he was in the days of the Rameses falni-
ly; in fact, he rather shuns the river now

the annoyances inseparable from tourists

him with revolver, and to be reptile

thing is simple insufferable. he will not

disadvantage, and so long as man does
not, unthinkingly, step on him, the croc-
odile will go his own way and calmly
await his opportunity
He feeds on fish, but for course din

preferred, which shows that there is no
accounting for taste even among reptiles.
His methods of capturing large game are
plural as well as singular. Sometimes
he will lie on a river bank, partly cover
ed with sand or mud, until an absent
minded native wanders within reach.
Having garbled his prey, he will waddle
into the water and there drown the
s.ruggler. He will then drag his victim
ashore and bury him in sand or mud,
and wait for days before he gorges him
