A Living Flytrap.

"Tbc big alligator in our menagerie,"
the old circus man said, didn't always
take his feed very well. Sometimes he
wouldn't open his mouth at feeding time,
and then we had to resort to strategy. Al
ligators are very sensitive about the nose.
When this alligator wouldn't open his
mouth. we used TO rub the top OF his nose
very gently. That always made him mad,
and he'd throw back his upper jaw ike
cellar door ON hinges. Then we'd throw
chunk of beef, maybe five pounds or SO,
down his throat. and down would come
the cellar door shut again, and he would
swallow the beef. In that way we used
to give him about 25 pounds OF beef at u
feeding without much difficulty.

You might think fly would be pretty
small game for a ~ foot alligator, and one

as they would anywhere outdoors, ano

Advice on Love, Courtship and Marriage
Given Fifty Years Ago.

"The Mystery Of Love, Courtship and
Marriage Is the title of little book
which, though published 80 years ago, con-
tains much advice that is as sensible now
rs IL was then. "Flattery," says the au-
thor, whose sex l. not revealed by the title
page and Is not easy tn guess from IN
ternal evidence, sis powerful weapon In
the art of making love. Never lived there
vet man or woman hut that In some way
or other could be fatiered. The great point
is TO know in what way TO use 1t. young
lady will feel flattered If you get chance,
young man, 20 tell her mother about the
good qualities of her daughter Never fear
but the daughter will bear of it," The
author dwells at some length on the subtle
flattery conveyed in applying what is ordi-
narily termed pet name" TO the oDJec1
OF ones affection and repeats with chi
phasis the admonition thaG 1alnt heire

Then the author fits the shoe TO the other
foot. "There is no improperly, " he or she
saws, "in lady's taking any reasonable
measures to induce her beau 10 make his
proposal when ne is either backward, slow
| or bashful." The advice Of old Weller to
"beyare of vidders'' Is Endorsed in only

nothing to do but TO answer her questions
and to return her caresses. In making
love To widow, then, you must first De
sure that you want her for wife, as 1t
| will not be safe TO trust yourself within
the pale of her influence If you expect ever
TO get off heart whole" She will certainly
catch YOU in her tolls, if she pleases. She,
of course, does not give you much chance
to exhibit those romantic proofs of attach
ment which young girls delight in, but
will discuss the marriage ceremony ana
plans for the future with the same cool
ness and elaboration as if she were select
ing her furniture and household goods.
