Vegetarian Crocodiles.

A report by George Hoare. one of the
officials OF the British Central Africa
protectorate, summarized in the local
gazette. contains some curious details
Of the crooodiles of Lake Chiuta. They
would seem to be strict vegetarians, for
not only have they never been known
to attack the men fishing in the lake,
but their tracks were shown by the
natives to the writer at distance of
several miles from its shores, whence
they are said to travel overland in
search Of roots. This is contrary TO the
habits Of all known species of croco-
dies, which are, in the first place,
purely carnivorous, and, in the second,
SO helpless on land from their inability
to turn. except in large circle, that
they never leave the immediate vicinity
OF their watery or muddy home. Efforts
will accordingly be made to obtain q
specimen Of this abnormal type of the
formidable amphibian. -London Tablet.

Strange Tastes.

One day while at Versailles during
the French war Lord Odo Russell went
to call on Bismarck, but found him
closeted with Count Harry Arnim, who
was known as the APE, from his fan
tastical ways. Before long Arnim came
out, tanning himself with his handker-
chief and looking as if about to choke.
"Well," he gasped, Il cannot under

Many sailors believe that the frigate

trade winds from the coast of Africa
and roost the same night upon the
American shore. Whether this is fact
or not has yet to be determined but it is
certain that the bird is the swiftest Of

R. c. Burkhart, President State Hor-
ticuIturaI Society.

IFrom the West Virginia Farm Reporter.I
The subject of this sketch was born in
Berkely county, w. Va, October sth,
1880, and was the only son of DR.. F. NJ.
Burkhart. He received liberal educa-
ton and when the "late unpleasantness
began he enlisted in Company B, Ist
Virginia Cavalry, in which company he
served for about one year. He was then
made Commander and Chief of General
Fitzhugh Lees scouts, consisting of fifteen
picked men. After the surrender he en-
gagged in the drug business in Shepherds
town, Jefferson county, West Virginia.
In July, 1866, he was happily married to
Miss Sue w. Moore, of Jefferson county,
w. Va. From this union fourteen chill
dren were born. eight girls and six boys;
eleven are now living, six girls and FIVE
boys, including eight grandchildren. In
1873 he retired from the drug business
and moved to his farm near Shenandoah
Junction. in the same county where he
engaged in agricultural and horticultural
pursuits. In 1877 he purchased the splen-
did fruit farm known as Keiffer Park,
three miles, from Martinsburg, on the
Valley Pike, in Berkeley county. w. Va.
and for twenty years has devoted his
time and talents to horticultural pursuits
and the production of all kinds of fine
fruits and vegetables adapted to his soil
and climate
His specially has been the pear, which
grows to perfection on his soil. and his
large and productive orchard is consid-
cred the finest and most profitable in the
State. He is erninently qualified to fill,
with credit, the position to which hewas
elected by the Horticultural society of
this State at its annual meeting in
Charleston in January, 1897, and unani-
mously reelected at the last annual
meeting recently held in Martinsburg,
w. Va. He is very popular at home and
has for fourteen successive years been
President of the Board of Education, and
for twelve successive years Justice of
the Peace in his district. The Society
was fortunate in selecting him as its pre-
siding officer, and he is fortunate in
having connected with him such an able
and earnest body of willing workers" "

TUESDAY MORNING. JANUARY II, 1898.
A High Compliment to Senator FauIk-
ner.
a Washington special to dc Wheeli1

A Washington special to the Wheeling
Register of recent date says:
The Democratic steering committee of
the Senate, in rearranging the minority
representation of the committees, paid
Senator Faulkner high but we'll deserv-
ed compliment in assigning him to e
place on the judiciary committee, with
such veteran statesmen and eminent law
yers as Senators Hoar, of Massachusetts !;
Platt, of Connecticut; Davis, of Mime
sofa; Lindsay, of Kentucky, and Gray,
of Delaware. No better evidence of the
esteem in which he is held by his fellow
Democrats of the Senate could be afforded
than this assignment of the West vir-
ginia Senator to the judiciary committee.
For, while this committee has not taken
up much of the time of the Senate with
bills reported from it, nor cut much of
figure in the public eye in spectacular
way, it is regarded as second in impor.
tance to no other committee on the entire
list. For this reason membership on it
is eagerly sought, and those who obtain
the honor must stand very high in the
esteem of their colleagues. Senator
Faulkner is the youngest man on the
committee with the exception of Chiffon,
of Texas.
The Washington correspondent of the
Cincinnati Enquirer says: deserving
compliment was paid Senator Faulkner,
of West Virginia, by his associates when,
in the recent recasting of this committee,
and it will be greatly strengthened by
his presence. AT the early age of 80
years Mr., Faulkner was elevated to the
bench of the circuit court in his State,
and served with exceptional ability for
eight years, during which time he sat in
almost every circuit in the State. Dur
ing his eight years. term he had but three
cases reversed by the higher court, rec
ord of which any Judge might well be
proud. Since his entrance into the SEN
ate he has maintained his practice, but
has been able to give but little of his
time to it. He recently made an argu-
ment before Judge jackson. of the Fed
eral Court at Martinsburg, and spoke for
five hours, and in handing down his de-
cision Judge Jackson said he had never
listened to a more able argument than
that of the Senator's during the Sc years
he had been on the bench. Judge Jack
son was appointed by Lincoln, and has
a career that is notable. Such praise
from such source is praise indeed
The committee is to be congratulated
up the accession of Mr.. Faulkner.
