"A crocodile which, in the course Of sew
eral weeks, manages to devour some fif-
teen men and cattle, is in a fair way TO
establish a record, says the Bombay Ad-
vocate of India. A gharial which infested
the River Borak. near Silchar, had achiev-
ed this unenviabe notoriety. and was
fast becoming a terror to the inhabitants
of the town; it had, in fact, become nee
essary to prohibit bathing IN the river.
some days ago, however, Subadar
Maula Baksh Khan of the Seventeenth
Bengal Infantry, now at Silchar waited
for the crocodile. and succeeded in dispos-
ing of her with three shots from Mar
tini-Henry rife. In the attempt to drag
the animal out of the water a boat was
upset and the animal was eventually tow
ed ashore by a steamer. Forty sepoys bore
the body of the monster in triumph 10 the
regimental lines, where It was exhibited,
fully 10000 villagers coming from near and
far during the day to see their vanquished
foe.

a widow well endowed with worldly goods
whose husband, with a sort of posthu-

remarriage by providing that she shah

other husband. She has been receiving

Loves Beggar-
Who is not loved lives not at all.
And knows not either joy or woe;
And lest such fate should him befall
He came a beggar, louting low.
Il bend" said he, that l may live;
I bow before the one 1 prize,
That she the aims ] crave may give
Drawn from the treasury of her eyes"
Who begs for love but wastes his speech
When far too humbly he implores;
He sets too high above his reach
The being whom he thus adQres.
And so, though courtly were her ways.
A veil of scorn her visage bore;
Indifferent to his prayers and praise.
She turned the beggar from the door.
The beggar was not overshrewd;
And perfect love had made him blind;
Not his TO see a changing mood,
Not his to fathom womans mind.
For she In musing on his fate
Felt pity for the sutton spurned
And pity turned to love-too late
The beggar nevermore returned.

costume is always the point of observa-
ton. and bystanders overlook a multitude
OF sins in grace and speed If the costume

womeu-yes, the majority of them-affect
a foolish modesty concerning the length
of the bicycle skirt, and are not slow to

but that Is the only point in its favor, for
it is ugly and ungraceful both on and off

ceal the stocking by the use of the high
bicycle boot, which Is an addition to all
wheeling costumes. To be sure they are
worn in summer, but your only alternative
Is a low cut boot or an Oxford tie. The
latter should never be worn except by
boys. men and very small girls, while
the former displays the stocking when

English woman sitting near an American
looked at her very superciliously and
drawled out: 81 would really like to
know what Americans have to be thank

The following well-known poem is put
hshed by request:
If you cannot on the ocean
Sail among the swiftest feet.
Rocking on the highest pillows,
Laughing at the storms you meet.
You can stand among the sailors,
Anchored yet within the bay;
You can dend hand to help them.
AS they launch their boats away.
If you are too weak to journey
Up the mountain, steep and high,
You can stand within the valley
While the multitudes go by.
You can chant in happy measure
As they slowly pass along;
Though they may forget the singer,
They will not forget the song.
If you have not gold and silver
Ever ready to command;
If you cannot toward the needy
Reach an ever-open hand
You can visit the afflicted,
Ger the erring you can weep;
You can be a true disciple
Sitting at the Saviour's feet.
If you cannot In the harvest
Garner up the richest sheaves.
VIII the careless reapers leave.
Go and CLEAN among the briers
Growing rank against the wall.
For it may be that their shadows
Hide the heaviest wheat of all.
If you cannot in the conflict
Prove yourself a soldier true
If where fire and smoke are thickest
There's no work for you to do;
When the battlefield is silent
You can go with careful tread,
You can bear away the wounded,
You can cover up the dead.
Do not, then, stand idly waiting
For some greater work to do;
Fortune is a lazy goddess,
She will never come to you.
Go and toll in any vineyard,
Do not fear to do or dare;
If you want a field of labor,
You can find it anywhere.
