BIBLE STUDENTS.
And Sunday School Workers Of
SALEM AND VICINITY
And Subscribers for Robinson's Compre>
hensive, Critical and Explanatory
Bible Encyclopedia.

The aim of this work, is TO furnish a book of reference
on all the topics of the science of Theology in its widest
sense under one alphabet. 1t includes, therefore. not only
articles on the Bible and its literature, but also upon all the
subjects belonging to Historical, Doctrinal and Practical
Theology.
The claims of the Bible TO be regarded as the first of
books, both in authority and value, are readily admitted by all
Christians. They receive it on evidence, which commands
assent as the word of God, which liveth and abideth forever.
They refer to it with satisfaction and delight as the source Of
their hopes and consolation, and they accept it, with gradi-
tude as the means which Eternal Wisdom has provided for
making men, Wise unto Salvation"
The antiquity of the Sacred Volume, the manner in which
its contents have been transmitted to our age, the obScurities
inSeparable from the composition of remote times, written in
a language idiomS of which cannot be explained by reference
to existing usage, and requiring for their ~elucidation a knowI-
edge of manners and customs, which cannot be viewed in
their original living connection, these, to say nothing of other
sources of perpexity, are sufficient to convince any person Of
common understanding, that information on such subjects is
essentially necessary to the students of the scriptures, while
the number of works through which this Information is scat
tered, too frequently places it beyond his reach.
The plan of the work, is neither doctrinal nor devotional.
The object of it is simply to illustrate the meaning of the
Bible itself, leaving to other occasions the application of that
meaning, as it regards both the understanding and the heart.
One of the chief and undoubted merits of this work is
the bringing together from a great variety of sources, facts
and extracts which serve to illustrate the Antiquities, manners
and customs and geography, of oriental nations.

PLAYING POKER BY WIRE.

Few outside the brotherhood of the
key are aware that operators often play
poker over the wire. 1t is, nevertheless
a fact, and the diversion is fairly COM
mon
when / was working on the Blan-
kety- blank line at little railroad sta
ton in Illinois," said an eX-operator the
other day, business was very slack to-
ward early morning and we used to get
up a four-handed game regularly. The
players were myself and three other OPP
orators at different points along the
line We would call each other up and
then every man would deal himself a
hand, making his discards and help
ing as desired. OF course, we had to
trust to mutual honor as to cheating,
but I think everybody was on the
square. All played freezeout and the
loser had to treat when we got togeth-
err at headquarters, which was about
once a month. l must confess that the
action was little slow, but the game
was more exciting than one might i'm

to DEFEND itself becomes foeman wor
thy of the boldest hunter. The feet ar
webbed and it can also paddle gentl
along with them. The teeth are no
made for masticating, for when possibl
1t swallows it's prey entire They ar
| hollow at the base and contain tn
crowns of new and larger ones, so a

tinues to drop the old teeth and nev
ones take their places.
The ugly and feroeious crocodile il
provided with a throat valve which eff
| fectually prevents the water from run
| ming down it, and also enables it to Sc
cure and drown its prey under water
The nostrils, placed at the extremity OF
| it's long nose, permit it to breathe at it,
ease, while the unfortunate ANNA
captured browns beneath the surface Of
the water. Moreover, it can exist 9
considerable length Of time without
breathing. In this way the reptile is
able to conceal itself when it suspects
danger
The nest of the crocodile differs from
that of his cousin, the alligator, and
shows a great similarity to the turtles.
The eggs are laid in hole and then
smoothly covered with sand, the pre-
caution making them difficult to find.
A year ago a crocodile nest was discov-
cred by hunter, and the eggs pre-
scented to the Smithsonian Institution
and the Philadelphia Academy of Nat
ural Science. A few of the eggs were
boxed in sand by the hunter with the
result of Matching one baby "Crocodilus
Americanus" The little wriggler is
very valuable, as it is said to be one of
three captive specimens anywhere.
To the "Conchs," or wreckers, who
live on the coral keys, the sight of the
crocodile excites but little interest, for,
ugly and dangerous as he looks he has
been taught by them that man is to be
feared. These natives claim that they
have seen crocodiles eighteen feet long
in the lower end of the Biscayne Bay.
The crocodile, being an expert swim
mer, lives largely on fish in Florida
waters, but the testimony of the old
hunters proves that. its cunning nature
is the same whether it be the Ameri-
canus or the much-dreaded reptile of
the Nile. 1t does not attack openly,
neither will it go ashore for its prey,
but will watch for hours for animals
or birds to come to the water to drink;
then, diving rapidly, it appears under
it's victim and drags 1t beneath the sur
face. Should the intended prey be too
far from the water to be reached by
the huge mouth, it strikes blow with
the tail and knocks 1t into the water.
Many herons and other water birds Of
Florida meet a sudden death from this
crafty reptile, whose manoevres would
do credit to the cunning fox.-Detroit

A STRANGE WAR CRY.

The enemy were invisible, and shoot
ing. That made it necessary for Uncle
Sans troopers to go on until they go
near enough to get a good and close
view of the little brown enemy. Ant
they did it with splendid spirit, rushing
shooting, cheering and laughing Two
companies of Cooks battalion of the
Third were ordered to the left of the
railroad, while the other two companies
to the left of the track All four of the
companies were made up mainly of
rockies as recruits are called but
they made up in spirit what they
lacked in effective drill As the two
companies to the left of the track, I'M
der Captain Day and Lieutenant Han
nay, got their first glimpse of the shoot
ing enemy their officers shouted out to
steady their commands. 1t was I'M
necessary. One tall rocky, who was
the first to catch sight of tha heads of
the mass of Filipinos ahead yelled
gleefully "Gangway!"
With one accord the two companies
took up the cry of ''gangway" and on
they rushed. 1t was their slogan.
They kept it up until they reached the
thrown-up dirt of the trench and saw
the Filipinos, now an irregular mass,
fleeing a hundred yards ahead Of them
The Filipnos gained another trench,
but "gangway" was the battle cry
that drove them out of it, 1t was the
same with the third line of trenches.
it is understood, of
course, that our boys shot of some
thing besides "gangway." Dead and
wounded Filipinos streWed thee ground
and filled the trenches. Our losses all
along the line that day were trifiing
by comparison. Days and Hannays
for instance, which suffered
rather more than the average losses,
had five men killed and eleven wounded
But that cry of "gangway' is famous
over in the Filipino lines Insurgents
who have been brought in either
wounded or prisoners have inquired
eagerly the meaning and potency of
that mysterious Yankee word which
invariably preceded a Filipino retreat.
And so the Third has contributed
another famous word to the technical
slang of the American soldier.-Leslie's

THE FLORIDA CROCODILE.
How He Differs From His Cousin, the
Alligator.


At least ten species of crocodile are
known to science, one species being in
digenous to Florida The difference be-
tween the crocodile and the alligator is
very marked; he head of the crocodile
is longer and narrower the teeth fewer
and whittier, the two lower front tusks
fitting into holes in the upper jaws-a
feature absent in the alligator. The
crocodile is also more tleXibly built, is
more ferocious and far more pugna-
cious. 1t is also more crafty and cum
ming and keener-eyed in the pursuit Of
its prey. Florida waters Astounding in
food, the crocodile has the ferocity of
its nature excited by hunger, but when
alarmed it plunges into the river or bay
and hastens seward at full speed until
out of all danger of a possible foe. Its
great speed in the water is owing to its
powerful tail, which propels it after the
manner of a man sculling a boat. 1t
prefers flight to fight, yet if compelled

In that newly founded Yankee town
of Southern Pines, N. c., there is a
new elegant hotel, the Piney Woods
Inn. A New Yorker is managing the
hotel and it is crowded every winter.
The climate at Southern Pines is just
grand. Not too cold; nor too warm
but just right. Take a run down there
and see how you like the climate. 1t
costs but little as excursion tickets
can be had and Piney Woods Inn will
make you moderate rates.
