There has been some lively smashing

Torrance of H. M. S. Viper represents
an epoch in the history of marine en-

speed of forty-three miles an hour.
The Viper is 21O feet long, twenty

inches deep, and she has the usual tor
pedo and gun armament for vessels or

In all, and on each of these there are
two propellers. She is therefore dr1V-

WOMAN HUNTS ALLIGATORS.
Mrs Neuberger Makes Havoc with Big
Reptiles at Night.

Mrs. Neubergsr Makes Havoc with Big
Reptiles at Night.
Mrs. Samuel Neuburger of New York
is the most daring and successful alli-
gator hunter of the season. She is
staying at the Tampa Bay hotel with
her husband, who shares with her the
pleasures of the chase. Mrs. Neu-
burger is tall, handsome woman of
very striking appearance, evidently well
supplied with strength, courage and
determination She hunts the dread
full alligator in the most sportsmanlike
manner, that is at night. This is the
only way to catch the reptiles in the
water. The other way is to prowl
around until you find them unawares,
on the bank of a river or swamp,
rather tiresome proceeding. At night
Mrs. Neuburger goes out in a light ce-
dar canoe. She paddles along noise
lessly and every now and then flashes
a dark lantern. Occasionally this re-
veals an alligator who loves to float
on the surface of the water at night,
and is hypnotized by the light Mrs.
Neuburger then shoots the reptile and
harpoons his body and takes him in
tow All this is very dangerous work
and requires great nerve, skill and pre-
cision- 1t is, of course, very hard to
shoot accurately by the light Of
lantern. big alligator is quite cap
able of smashing a canoe to fragments
with blow of his terrible tail, and
then swallowing a couple of human
beings Recently Mrs. Neuburg
shot at large alligator while out in
her canoe. The shot was fairly good
one but it struck thick part of the
animals skin, and after tearing a hole
passed on without doing much harm,
but greatly infuriating the creature
He Immediately made for the boat and
started to climb in. As he came par
TALLY out of the water Mrs. Neuburger
realized for the first time his mon
strous size. She was sitting In the bow
of the boat. and as the monster put
his jaws aboard she was raised high in
the air. He Missed like a steam engine,
and his hot. sickening breath pervaded
the atmosphere. Cool as a cucumber,
Mrs. Neuburger took aim at the alli-
gators open mouth and fired a shot
that passed through all his vital or
gans. finally ending his wicked de-
signs. Mrs. Neuburger has also sue
ceeded in tanning a number of young
aiiigators.-Chicago Journal.

Selling Groceries Sheldon Would.
1t is impossible to escape the convic-
ton that the Indiana groceryman who
has begun to run his store 'tas Christ
would" has put up a strictly business
proposition in the guise of righteous
venture. He sells no tobacco or strong
drinks of any kind. But reports of
his rushing business in other lines
argue that he need not go into cigars
and whisky for profits sake. Besides
he saves tax and license fees. He
marks his goods with cost and selling
price, SO that his customers may see
his profits. He sells for strict cash
and delivers nothing So he saves bad
debts, bookkeeping expenses, and the
cost of delivery. He runs a souphouse
for the poor, selling food at exact
cost-and can afford it. Altogether,
from this distance, the commercial
equation seems to enter at least as
emphatically into this enterprise as
the religious one. Probably the store
keepers scheme is not without profit
also to his customers. If it were it
would soon work itself out But why
not conduct the business as a straight
enterprise of mutual good, without any
irreverent pretense to be selling gro
ceries as Sheldon would?-New York

THE DUTY OF MOTHERS.

What suffering frequently results
from a mothers ignorance or more
frequently from a mothers neglect to
properly instruct her daughter!
Tradition says woman must suf-
fer" and young women are SO taught.
There is a little truth and a great deal
of exaggeration in this If a young
woman suffers severely she needs
treatment, and her mother should see
that she gets it.
Many mothers hesitate to take their
daughters to a physician for examina-
ton but no mother need hesitate to
write freely about her daughter OF
herself to Mrs. Pinkham and secure
the most efficient advice without
charge. Mrs. Pinkham's address is

Mrs. August Pfalzgraf, of South

Mrs. Pinlxham in January, 1899, saying
her daughter had suffered for two
years with irregular menstruation-
had headache all the time, and pain in
her side, feet swell. and was generally
miserable. Mrs. Pinkham promptly
replied with advice, and under date of
March, 1899, the mother writes again
that Lydia E. Pinkhams Vegetable
Compound cured her daughter of all
pains and irregularity-

Dorothy's illness is running the
usual course of scarlet fever. And in
the ten days that have elapsed since
the disease was first positively recog-

have had the anxious sympathy Of
many friends. Inquiries have been
numerous from all over the state as
to the little ones condition-inquiries
which Mrs. Yates has been only too
happy to answer hopefully because of
little Dorothy's own favorable reports
OF her condition. Beside their imme-
date personal friends Governor Yates
and his wife find that the public has
shown their anxiety over the little
ones condition. For days reports or
bulletins were issued by the doctors in
attendance, for the public information.

COLOR OF GOLD COINS.

COLOR OF GOLD COINS.
Warm, Deep Tings OF Yellow in Present
Day Coins.
Some time ago a Frenchman placed
together a number Of gold coins OF
French mintage of the beginning, mid
die and end of the last century. He
was much surprised to see that they
differed in color. He set about finding
out the reason for this difference, ano
the results of his investigations have
been published in La Nature. There is
paleness about the yellow of the ten
and twenty franc pieces which bear
the efhgies of Napoleon l. and Louis
XVIII that is not observed in the gold
of later n2intage. One admirer OF
these coins speaks of their color as a
beautiful paleness' and expresses 70
greet that it is lacking in later coins.
The explanation of it is very simple,
says an exchange. The alloy that en-
tered into the French gold coins OF
those days contained as much silver
as copper, and it was the silver that
gave the coins their interesting pale
ness. The coins of the era of NapO-
leon III. were more golden in hue. The
silver had been taken out of the alloy.
The gold coins of today have still
warmer and deeper tinge of yellow.
This is because the Paris mint, as well
as that in London, melts the gold and
copper alloy in Theoretically sealed
boxes, which prevents the copper from
being somewhat bleached, as it always
is when it is attached by hot air: so
the present coins have Tire full warm
ness of tint that q copp.> alloy can
give. If the coins of today are not SO
handsome in the opinion OF the anna
teur collectors as those issued by the
first Napoleon, they are superior to
those of either of the Napoleons in the
fact that 1t costs less to make them.
The double operation of the oxidation
OF the copper and cleaning it on the
surface of the coin with acids is no
longer employed; and the large eIimi-
nation OF copper from the surface OF
the coins, formerly practiced, made
them less resistant under wear and
tear than are the coins now in circula-
ton

QUIRIES.
With a telephone alongside her bed
little Dorothy Yates, the daughter OF
Governor and Mrs. Yates of Illinois,
lies quarantined in her chamber in the
executive mansion. Neither her Ia
Their nor mother is permitted to visit
her, for the child has scarlet fever.
Thus only has the quarantine been
circumvented by science-and harm
lessly so. For the governor, knowing
how strictly quarantine is enforced in
other homes, cannot conscientiously
resist enforcement in his own. Thus
he and his wife are barred from the
bedside of their child, but they may
talk to her nevertheless.
The disease was diagnosed as scarlet
fever some days ago, and instantly the
board of health officials invaded the
executive mansion with disinfectants
and like affairs, and ere the family
fully realized what was going on the
child was isolated in sick chamber,
under guard, and all approach forbid

Generosity OF a Lancaster County
Woman.
We clip the following from The
Charlotte Observer of the oath
instant:
Concord, Jan 23-An instance
of generosity and .unselfish .sacri
tce occurred in this county when
the estate of the late Benjamin
Burleyson was in the hands of his
administrator that seldom has a
parallel in the records of any
court. Mr.. Burleyson's last wife
WAS Mrs. Blskeny of Pleasant
Valley, Lancaster county, S c.,
who brought to her now home one
son by hsr first marriage. Mr..
Burleyson had seven children and
thus a family of eight children
were gathered under one roof.
Their home at Flows, in this
county, was one of plenty and
prosperity and, to al human view,
a long and peaceful life was be-
fore happy family. On one sad
evening last year Mr.. BurIeyson
vas fatal y hurt and died in few
hours. The widowed mother, with
broken hopes, thought only of
tho welfare of those loft to her
care and considered the financial
prospects which were before her
family, and, declaring to tho sd
ministrator that her property in
South Carolina Was sufficient for
the maintenance of herself and
her son, refused to accept any
of her; legal right IN Mr.. BurIey
sons estate. Mrs. Burleyson is
sister of Mr.. John NJ Morrow,
who 80 many years was the clerk
, OF hecklenburg Superior Court.
