A Crocodile Fight,

Crocodiles are very apathetic, and
fights among them are rare. A short
time ago, however, two of the six
crocodiles i'll the geological gardens
at Antwerp had serious disagree
ment, and one of the saurians, with
a vicious snap, closed his iron jaws
on the upper jaw of the other.
During the ensuing battle the
locked jaw broke in the middle. The
assailant swallowed the fragment, +"
teeth and all. This ended the un-
pleasantness, both at once assuming
their former listless attitude. The
vanQuished animal now presents a
horrible sight; part of its tongue
and the front half of the lower Jaw.
bristling with teeth, are exposed to
view.
But the manned animal shows no
sign of suffering-not even the pro-
verbal crocodile's tears.-London

Cecil Rhodes.

Mr.. Cecil Rhodes is peculiar in his
way of living if the following is to
be credited: AT home, although
there are enough best bedrooms to
put up quite a large circle of friends,
Mr.. Rhodes never sleeps in the house
itself, but goes to rest in a room
lifted up in an clubhouse in the gar
den. There he knows he can be
Rlone-alone with his work, his
thoughts, free from intrusion and
away from every sound of life. II
matters not whether his home be
full of friends or empty, he goes to
his lonely room across the yard all
the same.
