AIIigators Becoming Scarce.
From the New Orleans Times-Denoerat.

From the New Orleans Times Democrat
I'm five or six years 1t will be hard to get
alligator SKINS said William Raquet, "for
the reason that they are all being killed off.
Ten years ago it was no uncommon thing
to get skin from ten to twelve feet long.
but now it is a rarity when we get one
eight feet long. This comes from the use
of alligator leather in the making of va
Uses. Formerly about the only demand for
the skins was for shoes, but now there are
very few shoemakers who use them. It
was fad. and the fad has gone out of
date. But when valises of the skins came
in the demand increased by leaps and
bounds. There are hundreds of alligator
hunters along the coast, and their work IS
showing plainly. For a long time there
were plenty of gators along the bayous
and the marshes close to town, but now
we have to go to west Louisiana and Mis-
sissippi and elsewhere for them" Mr.,
Raquet then spoke of the discovery that
the back of the alligator, long supposed to
be useless for leather purposes is now
used In the heavier valfses. Formerly only
the skin from the underside was considered
of any account, but now all parts Of it are
of service.

SEVEN DANGEROUS DAYS.
Queer Statistics That Show an Evil
Week in Every Month.
From the Newark News.


An ancient soothsayer said to the impe-
rial Caesar. Beware the ides of March"
But if the theory of DR.. Granville Macleod
of South Chicago is correct the modern ad-
wiser can say, Beware the 10Th to the 26th
of every month" DR.. Macleod's assertion
seems to be verified by statistics taken
from the records Of railroad companies,
iron works, grain elevators, boiler works
hospitals and many establishments employ
ing large forces Of men, well as the
books of the coroners office. Reference to
the records of the Cook County Hospital
for each month for the past five years
shows an average of % cases of injuries
by accident a month. Out of this total 60
occurred during the fatal period.
The coroner'S office shows a more star
Ting confirmation Of the doctors theory.
About 65 per cent, or nearly two-thirds, of
the deaths by accidents and other causes
requiring official investigation occur be-
tween the Goth and the 26th Of each month.
OF the days of the week occurring in this
fatal period Saturdays and Mondays ap-
pear to come particularly under the maltgn
influence. This may be partially explained
from the fact that a great many Of the labor
ing class are paid on Saturday, and many
accidents result from intemperance. AS an

trouble and trouble means news

There are seven public schools on the en-

The island is beautiful in tropical foliage,

The climate of the island Is delightful
and beautiful especially IN the winter
months. The scenery is charming, and the
riding and driving over the hard sand

Story of American Flag.
From the Boston Journal.

From the Boston Journal
Few persons have noticed the interesting
evolution of our flag of the stripes and
the stars as depicted in the armory Of the
ancients at the top of old Faneuil Hall.
Most persons are familiar with the story of
Mrs. Ross and the making of the first flag
of the free But evidently it was not Mrs.
Ross who originated the idea of the stripes.
Down in the armory of the ancients you
will see first the broad red flag with the
old English cross in it's field Next very
similar flag, except that the broad red be-
comes broad blue with no red but in the
cross itself on the white field. Next the
white flag with it's pine tree and "Ap-
peal to Heaven" whence came our own
state banner. Then it would appear that
the fathers went back again. for the next
flag has the red and white longitudinal
stripes, but in the field there are the
crosses of St. George and st. Andrew,
worked out in red upon a white ground.
The next flag restores the blue to the field.
1t, too, has the longitudinal red and white
stripes and the combined crosses of St.
George and ST. Andrew. in the British
Jack, worked out in red and white upon
a blue field 1t was not till after that, upon
the assertion of independence by the coll
onies, that Mrs. Ross flag appeared, and
apparently she only substituted for the
double crosses the circle of thirteen stars
upon the blue field. The red, white and
blue and the red and white stripes Were
all in the flag generations before Mrs. Ross
was born, as the collection of the ancents
demonstrates.

The Ill-Matched Hessian Cousins.

From the London Truth
The Grand Duke and Duchess of Hesse
were married In April, 1894, and about
three years ago they were separated for
some time, but a bad tempered reconcflia-
tion was patched up between them by the
Intervention of relatives. Now another
separation has taken place, and the couple
are to be divorced on the ground Of 'in-
superable personal aversion" this plea
suficng under the Hesse-Darmstadt family
statutes. The Grand Duke Ernest went to
Italy about six weeks ago, when the grand
duchess joined her mother, the Duchess
Marie of SaXe-Coburg- -Gotha, at Coburg
The grand duke returned last week to
Darmstadt, and found his wifes ultimatum
awaiting him. The Hereditary Prince Of
Hohenlohe-Langenburg, Prince Henry of
Prussia and the Prince of Hohenlohe-Oeh
ringen have failed to arrange a modus vi

Index CT
nentation,

An index of more than 100 means that the
fair element predominateS over the dark IN
that group; an index of less than 100 means
that the dark element predominateS l
may add that the lists include persons Of
both sexes.
Foreign intermixture here (among the
aristocracy) also may have had some in
fuence. l think it probable, however, that
another cause has come into operation;
peers have been in q position TO select as
wives and have tended to select, the most
beautiful women and there can be little
doubt that the most beautiful women, at
all events in our own country, nave tended
more to be dark than to be fair. This is
proved by the low index of fermentation
of the famous beauties in the gallery, the
selection being made solely on the basis of
reputation, Independently Of any personal
of letters (ifteen in number) are inclined
to be fair and have an index of 100 the In
deX of thirte famous beauties is as dark
as fourty-four. But the new aristocracy
tends to be fair because 1t is from the fair
elements of the population that the aristoc-
racy is chiefly recruited. Political REFORM
ers and agitators are very fair; they have
too much of the restless energy which, in
lesser degree, spells social success,
1t is clear that high index of pigmenta-
ton, an excess of fairness, prevails
among the men of restless and ambitious
temperament-the sanguine, energetic men,
the men who easily dominate their fellows
and who get on in life, the men who re-
cruit the arfstocracy, and who, doubtless,
largely form the plutocracy. 1t is Slgnln-
cant that the group of low class men-arti-
sans and peasants-and the men of relig-
ion, whose mission in life is to practice
and preach resignation to higher will,
are both notably of dark complexion.
While the men of action thus tend to be
fair, the men of thought, it seems to me,
show more tendency to be dark. So far as
l am aware, no really fair person has ever
risen to the highest dramatic eminence in
this country, and, so far as l have been
able to observe, it is equally rare for fair
ness to be associated with histrionic ability
in Europe generally.
The more reasonable supposition at pres
ent seems to be that the relation between
and mental aptitude is chief
ly indirect and due to race. In other words,
the fair man tends to be bold, energetic,
restless and domineering, not because he is
fair, but because he belongs to an aborig-
inal fair stock of people who possess those
qualities; while the dark man tends to be
resigned and religious and initiative, yet
highly intelligent, not. because he is dark
but because he belongs to a dark stock pos
sessing those characteristics.

England I'm Egypt.
From the London Chronicle.


The abstract of the Egyptian budget
which we receive from Cairo is another
proof of the great material improvement
which has befallen that land since English
administrators brought honesty to the task
OF governing it. Each year the surplus
grows, and what is even more satisfactory
to the poor Egyptian, each year the taxa
tfon is diminished. The present budget, in
spite of a reduction of 100000 in taxes,
shows a surplus of E2i0,000, after the due
installment of over 100000 has been paid
into the caisse of the public debt It is
true that expenses have been high owing
to an extra expenditure of zoo, 600 on the
railway, but that IS an outlay which may
safely be counted upon to repay itself both
in revenue and in the general increase of
agricultural and other prosperity. The saw
ing, We are glad to see, has chiefly been in
army expenses and the suppression of use

CURIOUS BANK NOTES.
Collection Exhibited Before the Insti-

Collection Exhibited Before the Instt-
tute Of Bankers at London.
From the London Chronicle.
On Aladdin's principle of giving new
lamps for old. Mr.. Moberly Phillips, an as
sociate of the Institute of Bankers, is pre-
pairing at any time to give new notes, or
their equivalent in gold, for old notes which
have some interesting history attached TO
them. Mr.. Phillips is the only collector OF
bank notes in the country, and probably
out of it. and his collection amounts TO
So0 more or less. Some OF the more vaIua-
BILE of his specimens he exhibited last even
ing at a meeting of the Institute OF Bank
ers in the London Institution. One OF the
most interesting was note issued by
Major General Baden-Powen during the
siege of Mafeking. 1t is numbered 766,
dated March, 1900, and printed in green ink
on an obviously primitive machine. An
other, with, if possible, a still more fascf-
mating history, was a currency note, with
Arabic lettering, printed by General Gordon
when he was besieged in khartoum. or
Bank of England notes Mr.. Phillips has
specimens of the face value of fl not un-
like in appearance the Scotch twenty-shn-
ling notes OF the present day.
In times of emergency, when coin was
scarce, paper money of as low a value as
5s. was issued by traders. But there has
been lower depth even than this. cards

some places for as small sum as Is. An
other interesting special issue, shown by
Mr.. Phillips, was that of the Birmingham

and payment was made when eight IS. I'd.

In one corner of one of these notes is a

AS showing the length of time during which
notes may remain in currency. Mr.. Phillips
mentioned that he had a Scotch note for
f12 dated 1871 and the bank which issued
1t offered to change it for him. Being a
collector, Mr.. Phillips preferred to keep
his ancient bit of paper.
In the matter of diminutfve bank notes a
correspondent sends an account of a Gu
rious note which he has in his possession.
1t is card measuring by 2a inches on
one side of which is twice printed the word
"twopence," while on the other side the

FIGHT AT HOLY SEPULCHER.
Lively Engagement Between Francis
can Friars and Greek Monks.

r
can Frfars and Greek Monks.
From the London Standard.
From Jerusalem come particulars Of a
serious quarrel which occurred between the
Franciscans and the Greek monks in the
open courtyard Of the Church of the Holy
Sepulcher:
Sixteen Franciscan friars and five Greek
monks or priests received bodily injuries
during the scufffe-three of the former, IN
Guiding the vicar of the Custodia di Terra
Santa, being dangerously wounded. The
sixteen friars belong to different nationals
ties, and are composed of five Italians,
three Russian Poles, two Germans, one
Maltese, one Spaniard, one Austrian, one
Frenchman the Vicar), one American citi-
zen. and one Dutch.
THE dispute arose out Of an attempt
made two days since, on the part of the
l4atins, to sweep a portion of the court
yard, or triangle, just outside the entrance
OF the sacred building in front of the stair
case leading to the Latin Chapel Of Agony.
The Greek guardians of the Holy Sepulcher,
however, claimed the exclusive right to
sweep and clean the whole of the quad
rangle. The Latin monks having shown
that they were determined to carry out
their designs, the Turkish authorities inter-
yened, and a detachment of troops from
the garrison was posted on the spot to pre-
vent collision until the question was de-
cided by the Sublime Porte But yesterday
afternoon the contending parties suddenly
outnumbered the Turkish guards, and COM
menced fighting with their hands, sticks
and stones being also freely used. In the
melee the major of the local gendarmerie.
named Yussuf Agha Djuzdar, received such
a severe blow on the eye with a hatchet-
which was subsequently wrested from the
hands of monk-that the unfortunate Of
fcer lost his eyesght."

Tobacco as an Insecticide.

From the Ladies' Home Journal.
Most of the insects common to house
plants dislike tobacco as much as does the
cleanly housewife. The best way to use 1t
as an insecticide upon window plants is to
secure a good handful of tobacco stems,
place them in an old basin, pour boiling
water upon them. and let them stand for
several hours. Then drain off the liquid in
TO a basin or tub deep enough for immers-
ing the tops of your plants in, and dilute
ii with warm water until it shows only
faint tint of brown. Then take up the
plants one at time and hold them, tops
down, il the water, washing them clean.
