File OT AlIigator,s Teeth

A remarkable operation was per- formed by dozen keepers on 13-foot alligator which is kept in the Bronx zoo at New York. The alligator, which is a powerful animal, showed signs O. fierceness for some time. He woun up one morning by killing an eight-foot companion in the same tank Then it was decided that the big ones teeth should be cut. A rope with a sling was lowered over his head and drawn taut; the tail was similarly treated. Each one of the legs was next secured in like manner. By patience and re- peated trials lasso was got into the ponderous jaw. The alligator gave a bite and the rope parted like thread. Then wire rope was secured. This was finally got into place.
 Sticks were pried between the jaws to keep them from clashing together. Thus held, the reptile lay helpless and the work of saving off some of the longest and most dangerous teeth was soon accomplished.

A FINE FIELD FOR WOMEN.
More Than 2,OOO Employed at the Pan-American Exposition in
 Various Capacities.

Upwards of 2,000 women find daily employment at the exposition in all capacities from wedding gardens and tending flowers and washing dishes up to managing exhibits. They earn wages that run from two dollars to $2.5O a week mp to $G0, with an average that is probably Considerably below ten dollars. More az employed in the Midway than in any other section of the exposition. There they are ticket sellers, ticket takers, cashiers. wait resses, ballyhoos performers and man. agers Nearly 800 of them are doing work of one sort or another in the Midway, says Buffalo exchange.
 In the main show outside of the Mid way they are employed in greatest numbers as waitresses in the restau- rants scattered about the grounds. These are nearly all in the low grade as far as salary is concerned. In the great Manufacturers and Machinery buildings they find work to do that is much better paid. Some of the ex- hibits are in the sole charge of women exhibits that depend very largely on the skill and cleyerness of the attend ants for their success and popu- larity. This is especially true of all the food exhibits

IS IT A PLEASURE TO DEP
A London Writer Combats the Idea Tint It Is Agonfzing to Shuttle
 or This Mortal Coil.

The popular idea that the act of dying is a painful process often causes q fear of death. But death from even the most painful mortal diseases is usually preceded by a period of cessation from suffering and partial or complete insensibility, resembling falling asleep or the pleasant gradual unconsciousness caused by an anaesthetic, according to writer in the London Spectator.
 The common phrase "death agony" is not warranted by what occurs in natural death, which is complete re- lief from all pain. When death is owing to heart failure or syncope it, is sudden and painless-perhaps pleasant. Death by hanging, there is reason to believe, is attended by a voluptuous spasm. Death by decapi- tation or electricity is only a mo- mentary shock, hardly felt. Death by poisoning varies in painfulness ac- cording to the poison employed. Opium and other narcotics probably give painless, perhaps pleasant, dreamful death. Hemlock, as we know from the account of the death of Socrates, causes a gradual insen- sibility from below upward. On the other hand, arsenic. strychnine, car bolic and mineral acids, corrosive sub Innate, tartar emetic, and other me tallic poisons inflict slow and tortur- ing death. Prussic acid and cyanide of potassium cause quick and painful death.

GREAT BEAUTIES.
Many Handsome Faces Are Found Among the Women of Cash
 mere, India.

Many of the women of India, and es- pecially those of Cashmere, are beauti- full. In typical Hindu beauty the skin is just dark enough to give a rich, soft appearance to the complex on, says London journal The features are regular. the eyes mild and black and shaded by long sill1en lashes, the hands and feet are small and we'll formed, the demeanor is modest, the manner is gentle, the voice low and sweet. There are fine-foaking women among tie middle class Hirdus, $. we'll as among the upper ten, and even among the lower class the faces are often very pleasing. Many a Hindu woman who has, perhaps, little pre- tensions to beauty of face, has, never theless, the step and carriage @of a princess, and if one is not too fastid- ious about perfection of eyes and mouth and nose her figure as she walks down the street with her load on her head is truly beautiful sight.

HOW TO JUDGE OF TOBACCO.
A Hard White or Light Gray Ash Said to Re the Sign of a Good
 Cigar.

Color, burn and texture are the three things which the grower of to- bacco has chiefly to consider. At present the trade calls for a light cinnamon-brown shade, which must be uniform, not mottled The leaf when rolled on cigar and smoked must leave white or light ash, which does not flake off and fall into ones bosom or over his waistcoat, and it must not "coal''-i. e., have a black, charred ring just behind the ash on the burning cigar. This is sure to give bad flavor and taste. The leaf also must burn freely, and when lighted hold firm for a reason able time. It must have a soft, sil- very texture, glossy surface and the elasticity of a piece of kid, so that it may be drawn smoothly and closely about the cigar. Flavor is not want ed in Connecticut tobacco, for if there be much of it it is sure to be bad. Perfect burn, color and texture can be got in the northern climate, but delicate and agreeable flavor has not yet been obtained. Flavor is conditional upon soil and fertilizers. 1t is desirable, therefore, that the leaf be neutral, without taste, as far as may be. We get the flavor wholly in the Cuban filler. To obtain these qualities of leaf is the problem of the grower-a much more compli- cated one than meets the ordinary farmer.

and the father tried to give Johnston sound thrashing, which he would have accomplished only for the girls interference. The father then ordered the girl into the house, and the neigh bors say punished her severely with a strap.
 Young Johnston, who had gone home, heard of this, and, enlisting the help of his brother, started toward the Dempsey household. After entering the house the girls father and the two Johnston boys discussed the matter warmly, and the lover declared he did not care how much Dempsey beat him, but he must not wh:pfhe girl. Finally the two brothers seized Dempsey and carried him struggling to the barn, securely bound him with ropes and straps in a stall and then administered to him the sa me kind of beating with straps that he was accused of giving his daughter.
 Dempsey howled and danced with pain, but finally begged for mercy and promised not to touch his daughter again or interfere with her love af- fairs.
 It is stated the Johnston boys and Dempsey shook hands and made up before separating, and he solemnly promised not to prosecute the boys.

PRIMROSE AND DoCKsTADER.

Posters are out announcing the open ing of Polls theater on Monday even ing next with Primrose and Dockstad- CTS minstrels as the attraction. The theater will be cooled by means of the electric blower. so that it will be most inviting on the occasion of the per fornance. That the performance will be one of great enjoyment goes with out saying. for these two great mon archs of modern minstrelsy have never given any but good performance here They bring an entirely new company this season with the exception of some of the singers, and the program as ar ranged is one of continuous fun throughout. In fact. the comedy ele- ment has always largely predOminated in the Primrose and DOckstader shows, but the novelty feature is not wholly neglected. This season the comedy is provided by ..Himself." George Prim- rose Lew Dockstader and Eddie Le- mard, while among the novelty enter tainers are Ollie Young and brother. Claudius and Corbin and Leno Carl and Zeno. It is a show that anyone can spend very pleasant evening in wit witnessing and local showgoers who find in minstrelsy an ever pleasing form of entertainment will be well re- paid for turning out on Monday even ing The sale of seats will open on Saturday, prices being 25. 35, 90, 70 cents and $1-
