Oldest Crocodile in the World.

One of the most interesting speci-
mems in the British Museum Is Il oco
die more than 1000 years old. 1t is a
big, well-preserved specimen, and on
it's back there is a whole family of lit
tie crocOdiles.
Years before the Christian era the
Egyptians worshiped crocodiles among
their animal deities, and many speci-
mems were kept at great expense in
their parks and royal gardens, where
they We're attended by priests and CIV
EN- all sorts of dainty morsels of food.
When these crocodile gods died they
were embalmed and placed in the
tombs along with the mummies of 9th
err sacred animals. This particular GRO
odile was prepared by dipping 1t in
wax and pitch, which rendered 1t hard
and shiny, and it lay in n Of the pyra-

Egyptian government dug it out and
presented it to the British Museum.
Making a Throwing Stick.
The bushman Of Australia has a way
of throwing a long. straight spear that
will appeal to some of our boys who
are fond of outdoor sports. Each war
rior carries as Il part of his equipment
a throwing stick very simply made.
1t is about eighteen inches long, and

Making n Throwing Stick.
THROWING STICK,

has a hook on the end, usually made
from the root end of a young tree. In
OF his spear, and then, with two fingers
around the spear shank and two fin
gers and the thumb around the throw
ing stick, he is ready to make
throw. An expert bushman can h1f1
a spear several hundred yards in this
way, often so accurately AS to kill a
bird on a distant limb.
An American kny could make such a
thrower, using only his jackknife, and
with 1t he could have any amount Of
fun. The picture will show how the
thrOwer is used.

The fad which probably eclipses
all others is the jewel fad. They are
so much worn, that we may concede
that effect rather than quality is to
be desired. Besides finger rings, and
all the accessories of the toilet for
which they have hitherto been used,
we find them in hair pins, hat pins,
bracelets, umbrella handles, face
wells, and in fact everywhere they
can be used. Snakes of all kinds,
with evil emerald eyes, are very
much worn as bracelets, rings, belt
buckles, &c. The Jewel embroidery
is so artistically done that we may
easily distinguish the amethyst,
Topaz, &C., and it is certainly very
effective. AS trimming for bOdi-
ces, Jewels are used as far as the
purse will allow. Entire bOdices
are now being made Of cloth of gold,
or the gold material is used only for
bOlero over blouse of net, which is
literally worked with Jewels and
gold thread.
Never before have American wo-
men so adorned themselves and
their belongings with precious and
semi-precious stones as at present.
Jewels adorn the furnishings of the
dressing table, and writing-table APP
pointments are respondent with
iewelled settings. There are jewel
led bells, hat-pins, lorgnettes, watch
es, and what-not. Obviously, the
jewels cannot be very costly to be
used in such prodigality. Amethysts
lead, while topaz, strass and Rhine
stone are much used.

The Rright Side.

Happy is the man or woman who
has learned the fine art of looking
for the bright side. The clOudiest
day is brighter than the darkest
night. The darkest night has un-
seen stars concealed behind the
drapery Of its gloom. There can no
misfortune befall us that can rob us
of the Fathers care. For he makes
all things work together for good to
them that love him. Once admit his
plan and his hand and then all things
are gloriously transformed. The
wick of your lamp is charred and
black. The oil in the lamp, soaking
upward, makes the wick still more
uncomeiy. But bring the lighted
match to the charred wick aud you
explain its past blackness in its
present cheer. Welcome the Father
into the darkest hour, and you see
the hour was black because he was
absent. The secret Of looking for
the bright side Of life is the Heaven

Fashions vs.. Doctors.

The old fashioned black lace veil
is very stylish now and can he pro-
cured at much lower price than
our mothers used to pay. We are
just in the midst of the veil season
now, and they are 50 pretty and be-
coming that few women can resist
their charms
The veil of the moment is the chif-
fOn. 1t may be white, black or col
Ored, but the chiffon veil is, and al
ways has been since its many good
qualities were first discovered, the
tavorite veil when thorough protec-
ton from cutting winds is wanted.
White chiffon wells were wonder
fully fashionable last winter, and
while they can no longer be classed
among the "fads," every sensible
woman, if she has not one already,
will possess herself of a white chif-
fon veil to wear when she walks
abroad until all the chill winds of
winter and springtime have blown
themselves out Of existence.
Fancy wells of all kinds have never
been more popular or more beauti-
full than this winter.

1t is rumored, but the rumor is one
scarcely to be believed, that the
traditional white satin of the usual
bridal garment is to be ousted in
favor of colored robes that are sup
posed to be more becoming to every
day womanhood. Certain it is that
several fashionable marriages have
been recorded of late in which
sacrificial white has not played Il
part. Nevertheless some of us are
old-fashioned enough to regret its
absence, and more than one prospec-
tive bride has blu5hingly confessed
that she would feel defrauded if not
welded in white satin and orange
blossoms. -EXChauge

There is gold in the CLEAN of the harvest
and love in the hearts that are
singing!
And still as Of old to the other its music
mellihuous swells,
And the wind that signs westward is

bells.

And fancy the viOlets know me in

And do not the red roses owe me the
peace of the prodigal's kiss?
The sun is still bright at the portal:
there the love-light all radiant
shines;
Heart! Heartl there's face we remem-

Cover One-half of box of gelatine,
with one-half cup of cold water.
Pour over it cup of boiling water,
add cup of graduated sugar and
stir until dissolved. Add One-half
cup of lemon juice, cup of orange
juice and tablespoonful of sherry.
Strain into pitcher. Wet a mould
with cold water and pack in pan
of ice. Fill the moulds one-fourth
full with the jelly and allow it to
harden only enough to bear the
fruit, when layer of orange carpets,
grapes, candied fruits or berries
should be put on. Pour a teaspoon
full of jelly over each piece of fruit
and let stand several minutes before
adding enough to cover the fruit, or
it will float. Proceed in this way
until the mould is full. Garnish
with fresh fruit when served. A
perfect bunch of Malaga or Niagara
grapes in wine jelly is often
served.

A child should literally be intel

Most important of all, mother,
without combining herself to the
nursery, can keep the infant under
her own eye while engaged in her
ordinary daily occupations. Even
though she does not personally feed
aud care for her baby, she can thus
superintend and criticise the nurses
efforts.
By this method she may also ex-
perience the greatestOf all maternal
enjoyment-that derived from
watching the daily development of
her child.
Children are not likely to crave
candy and other sweets unless a
taste for such articles has been
developed by indulgence in them
and their use, since they are seldom
taken at mealtime, helps greatly to
foster that most pernicious habit of
childhood-eating between meals.
No food, except at their regular
mealtime, should be the universal
rule for children from babyhood up,
and although during their earliest
years they require food at some
what shorter intervals than adults,
their meal hours should be arranged
for the same time each day, and no
piecing permitted. Parents who
follow the two common practice of
giving their little ones a cracker or
fruit between meals are simply
placing them under training for
dyspepsia, sooner or later. Uninter-
rupted digestion proceeds smoothly
and tremendously in healthy
stomach, but interruptions in the
shape of food sent down at all times
and when the stomach is already at
work, are justly resented, and such
disturbances, if long continued, are
punished by suffering.

Simple Home Remedies.

In cases of earache try blowing a
little tobacco smoke into the ear. 1t
will usually relieve the trouble i'm
mediately. Another good remedy
is to take thick slice of potato and
toast it brown on top the stove; then
wrap it in wooden cloth and hold
it to the ear. Still another remedy
is to put live coal into a small tin
pill box and wrap around it cloth
satuated with equal parts of laud-
anum and camphor. This is held to
the ear in such way that the steam
is blown into it. Another remedy is
to dip piece Of cotton into sweet
oil, and then into black pepper !;
heat it hot, and insert it into the
ear. Cotton dipped in hot laudanum
and placed in the ear will often
afford almost instant relief. The
hot water bag is also an invaluable
remedy. Applied to the affected ear
it quickly sOothes the pain and in
duces sleep.
