A report by George Hoare, one of the
officials of the British Central Africa
protectorate, summarized in the local
gazette, contains some curious detail s
of the crocodiles of Lake Ohiuta. 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 a 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 orooo-
diles, 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 a
specimen of this abnormal type of the
formidable amphibian.-London Tablet

HOME COMFORT.
COMFORT IN A SMALL COMPASS
MONTPELIER PEOPLE INTERESTED.

It's nice thing to Ibe able to carry
comfort in your pocket, to have it at
home and to take it with you in your
daily vocation. No one can be COM
Portable with any itching of the skin.
Irritation of any nature, such as &C.
zema, piles or like troubles make you
miserable all day long and restless at
night. Relief means comfort. Perfect
cure means happiness. Both relief aud
cure are near at hand for any one who
used Doan's Ointment. Everybody
who tries it becomes an enthusiast and
always has box about to make life
comfortable for himself and family.
Plenty of Montpelier people will en-
dorse our claims for it. Read what
this citizen says:
Mrs. M. e. Darling, whose husband
is in the employ of the city, says: 81

Hard on the GentIer Sex.

There is much Of the slave and the
Thus woman is not yet capable Of
friendship, but only of love.
In the love of woman is injustice and
blindness to all that she does not love-.
There are two things true man
likes-danger and play. He likes WON
an because she is the most dangerous Of
playthings
A man should be reared for the voca-
ton of warrior; a woman for the REQ
reation Of the warrior. ALI else is rub
bish.
A woman's principle of honor is to
love more than she is loved, so as not
to be second.
In any game where love or hate is
not at stake women play a mediocre
part.
All women behind their personal
vanity cherish an impersonal contempt
for woman.
AS rule, mother loves herself in
her son more than the son himself
The chief danger that besets artists
of genius lies in woman. The worship
ing wor ,an is their ruin. Hardly one
has character enough to resist his ruin
when he finds himself treated like q
god. Man is a coward in face of the
ewig weibliche, and no one knows ii
better than the small woman.
Women indulge in literature as they
commit little sin, glancing round tc

SELECTED STORY.
The SWORD.

'Tbink not have come to send peace y"
The sword is sharp-the sword is truth,
That makes the crooked places plain
And teaches roughly, without ruth,
Great verities pressed home through
pain;
That carves through falsehood' g living flesh
To cut the cords that drew her mesh
The sword is merciless-as love,
That lances deep to heal a wound;
That holds the unblemished soul above
Sleek safety, with dishonor crowned.
"Say, hast thou stopped to count the costY"
"Nayl nations did SO and were lostl'
The sword costs dear-the sword this day
Is honor, worth all worlds to him
Who hears the futures patriots pray,
"Leave not this stain our shield to dimi"
The sword deals death2 Then wait for life
TO do the deed with duller knife
The sword is terrible-the sword
Is God, the God Of Hosts, the Lord,
Who yet leads forth chosen band
To lift the curse that loads land
Through tears of women, blood of men,
His peace on earth must come again.
The rusting sheath when right is wronged-
The fainting fear-feet leaden shod,
Or eyes in shameless sleep prolonged
Nay, these are terrible as God,
As sharp as truth, as dread as DEATH
That never stifled freedoms BREATH

A MAN WITHOUT A HAT.
He Is the Object of EverybOdy's
Amusement and Boys Diversion.

Amusement ana bOyb' OIVerslOhs
A man without hat is one to be con-
soled. If he is a peaceful, law abiding
man, who has lost his headgear in dis
graceful manner and while as yet free
from the effects of the liquor, he is proba-
bly, saying unkind things about himself
and the wondering people who are watch
ing him and the street gamins who are
following him. He sees i'll clad laborers
with some kind of a cover for the head
and the ragged urchins with battered caps,
and he thinks to himself what a relief 1t
would be only to have something in the
shape Of a recognized headgear to cover
his wind tossed hair if he has any.
He is the object of everybody's amuse-
ment and the small boys derision. Wom-
en- and girls walk past him with uncovered
head, but nobody notices them, while they
still have the impertinence to smile at the
condition which he Is in. And when he
meets female cquaintance-well, II
there ever was man who would like to
be off the earth for few short minutes,
1t Is he. All, what relief to have some
thing on the head after such trial. Any ,
thing, the most outlandish cap, will an
swer the need at the moment of buying it,
and the man with the uncovered head Is
no more when at last he steps out of the
store with covering proudly upon his
head. He can now look his fellow orea
lures In the face.-Pittsburg Dispatch.

Good Novels Are Good Teachers,

but good novel Is there anything
equal to itP" writes Ruth Ashmore in The
Ladies' Home journal. "Think of the
story of Henry Esmond;' think of the
pleasures and joys that came to him, and
then, sympathizing with him In his disap-
pointments, being proud of him In his
successes, following his fortunes into this
new land, you will go among the Virgin
ians and there read how he was loved and
respected. Or choose the Tale of Two
Cities and learn how one man can give
his life for another because he loved much.
DO you goodP Such books can do nothing
else. No really good novel ever induced
q girl or woman to initiate vice or to
despise virtue. The novel is the printed
panorama of life, and the tears, the smiles
and the heart beats that we, the readers,
give to it, 1t makes the music that now
Is almost still, again is wild and weird
like that of Hungary, and again has all
the majesty of one of Mozart's masses. If
you want to enjoy yourself, If you want
to make life seem better and happier, lose
your own personality In good book"
