BIG DEMAND FOR ALL1GAroRs.
Their Rough Hides Can he Made Into
travelling Bags ana Pool<etbool<s
-HOnnE Ones Bcst.


There is an extraordinary demand
just at present for young ulligators,"
said Mr.. Louis Herman, a well-known
travelling representative of large
northern trunk manufactory, to a re-
porter for the New Orleans Times
Democrat. "Their skins are used for
making a fine class Of small satchels
or hand bags. II requires from three
to four skins TO make even the smallest
of these articles, and the consequence
is that they are n good deal too costly
for the general trade. There is as
much difference between the hides of
large nlligntors and The babies as there
is between calfskin and Russia Gather.
The young alligator that is priced by
the bagmakers Is not over a foot and
half long, and the hard, diamond
shaped scales that distinguish the old
en- saurian have not had time TO devel-
op and harden. If the hide is properly
tanned IL is soft and beautiful, and re-
sembles nothing else in the world.
For pocketbooks, card cases, and 40 on,
they use the skins of the little fellows,
not much bigger than those that are
sold for aquarium pets. II is II fad just
now TO color them peculiar olive
green, and the result is swell. II makes
an excellent background for either
gold or silver ornaments, and have
seen pocketbooks OF that style quoted
us high as 500 apiece. All the skins
come from Florida, and if the demand
for the young ones continues, as seems
quite likely at present. it is going 10
result In materially thinning out
gators in the Land of Flowers. Here
tofore the professional hunters have
avoided the killing of the young, and
there was no danger Of the supply
running short, as they are extremely
prolific. But just now the old ones are
allowed to go their way in peace, and
the natives are devoting all their at
tention to gathering in the junior
members of the family. Seriously,
anticipate a marked scarcity of the
hides next season."

IN # KHART0UM, that historic
~ town of the Egyptian Soudan,
a "A where the waters of the White
and Blue Nile join to form the mighty
river that gives life to Egypt, there is
now being erected a lasting monument
to the great Chinese" Gordon, who fell
a Victim to the fanaticism of the follow
ers OF the mnhdi in January, 1885.
For years the civilized world was
astonished at England that she allowed
the mahdl to go unpunished for the
death of one of her able generals and
the cruel massacre of the garrison un-
der his command. But Gen. Kitchener
has given them n late though terrible
chastisement for their crimes, and
when his task was finished, when the
mahdi had been driven from the strong
holds of the Soudan and his armies an
initiated, Gen. Kitchener returned to
England, and there uttered the pro-
phetic sentence: "Those who have
conquered are called upon to civilize." ="
So great was the ardor of his country

1t would teach their children better

now theirs; it would teach them the
useful arts, the trades, and in many
ways prepare them for life in keeping
with the advance in Egyptian civiliza-

And while the work of construction
goes forward in Egypt subscriptions
for the building and endowment fund

of Its object.

A Good Health club" has just been
organized at Chicago and will meet
twice a month. A physician is the
president. Mrs Eleanor IIutchison,
the secretary. in explaining the object,
said:
'In this age we seem to have lost
sight of the fact that the building of
our bodies and the repair of waste tis-
sues Is largely dependent upon the ma
terial we put into our stomachs. What
can be of more interest TO the thought
full mother than the study of the higher
physiology and chemistry OF foods
when she realizes that children get
their morals from their diet, likewise
their teeth, nerves, brain and muscles;
that the character and quality of the
material which builds the baby deter
mines the character and fiber in man
or woman. What should be Of more
interest to the young women among us
who are to he the mothers of the future
race? Our aim is TO teach the impor-
tance of taking care of health in n
simple and natural way, by an under
standing of natures laws and the care
full and persistent observance of them."

When Elias Howe invented the sewing
machine. he got along very well until he
came to the making of a needle; .hen he
was at standstill, for he could not dis
cover where the eye of the needle should
be placed. At first he thought that a
needle fashioned after the ordinary needle
for hand sewing might be all right. but
after much experimenting he found that
it would not do.
One night he dreamed that he was in a
far distant country that was ruled over
by savage king. The king ordered him TO
construct a sewing machine, and not dar-
ing to disobey orders, he at once set to
work. All went well until he came 10 the
location of the needles eye; then his
troubles began.
The king grew impatient. and finally
gave the inventor Just twenty y-fOur hours
in which to complete the machine. and
failed to finish the task. But he could not
invent proper needle and had to give it
up.
Just as the kings warriors were about
to take him away to execute him he no
ticed that the spears they carried we're
pierced near the head. Like an Inspiration
him. and while imploring the savage king
for a little more time he awoke.
Although it was but o'clock in the
morning. Mr.. Howe arose at once and went
TO his workshop. and by o'clock he had
modelled needle for his sewing machine
with an eye at the point.

Long before the days of bloomers women
on the higher level OF the Alps wore
trousers, and no one thought anything
about it, The Alpine women wear the bi-
furcatsd garment for utility and not for
beauty, as one may judge II he or she has
ever seen one of these girls. Comeliness
and the klpine herdswomen are far apart,
but the style OF the garments they wear
and the hard life that is theirs are at the
root of the trouble.
The women have little of the grace and
agility seen in the maidens OF Norway.
They will leap across chasms with nom
