AN OILY HABIT,

There are people who become uncon-
sciously addicted to the butter habit;
that is to say, they like butter and
gradually eat, little more as the
months go by, until they find they
have consumed, each meal, quite
quantity of fat, that they have not vi
tally enough TO properly digest.
This indigested substance causes
more or less catarrh of the stomach
and trouble with the bowels.
The remedy, of course, is to largely
cut down the allowance of butter, ana
for two or three nights sup nearly a
quart of very hot water, just before
going to bed. This washes out the
stomach and bowels and gives them
renewed vitality Then the person
should, for a few mornings at least
rely on good rich cream, with Grape
Nuts, for breakfast, letting out the
butter altogether. The cream gives
all the fat needed.
Grape Nuts and cream furnish an
ideal portion of any breakfast.

A TEAM OF GATORS.
A Florida Man Who Drives the Sanri<
ana To Markaf Aa

ans to Market.
Jefferson Lee, who lives on the ST.
Johns river, In Putnam county, Fla,
has the most extraordinary team in the
country. 1t is q team of alligators thar
Mr.. Lee uses to tow his boat up and
down the river when he goes to market.
Mr.. Lee has to go six miles down the
river to his post office, and 1t Is q hard
pull against the current coming back.
He noticed how swiftly alligators
swan, and it occurred to him that ~
might be a good thing to turn the alli-
gators that abound in the st. Johns
river to some account. He captured
pair Of young gators and raised them
in his yard. He taught them to swim
and drag weight behind them, and
he also taught them to turn either to
the right or left by pulling ropes fast
ened to their teeth on either side.
When the alligators were big enough
he put harness that he had construct-
ed on them and harnessed them to hin
boat. They swan we'll and pulled thu
boat through the water at a good speed.
BY pulling on the reins that passed
through the mouths of the gators Mr..
Lee was able to turn his strange water
team in any direction he pleased.
Mr.. Lee made a point Of never feed
ing his alligators until after they re-
turned from trip, when he would irn-
mediately reward each one with a f1f6
meal. IA
The alligators seem to be willing to
perform their task Of pulling his boat
and when he turns them out OF the pen
| in which thew are stabbed and starts
| them for the water they shuttle down
/ to the boat in the liveliest style, and
after they are hitched they plun2a. &c
the water with grunts Of delight.
| Mr.. Lee says his strange team has
never run away or kicked out the dash
| board of his river craft, but that they
| have one fault, for which, however, NV
does not blame them. They sometirneSs
| sweep their powerful tails in a curve
| through the water and once srnasheds
one of his boats into small bits end
threw Mr.. Lee and a party that he WAN N
taking boat riding into The river. They
would have all been drowned had not
| the alligators SWAN back to them ano1
permitted the party to climb on their
backs, after which the alligators swan
swiftly to the shore and all Of the par
ty were saved Mr. Lee now bitches up
his team twenty feet in front Of the
boat, so that the sweep of their tailsl
will not endanger the craft.
Mr.. Lee'ssuccess has created great
interest among all of his neighbors, and
now many alligators are being trained
| for duty as sea horses.-CMcago Tri%S

CLASS F.

AT THE FINISH AT MORRlS GOV II.
The fleet of magnificent yachts be-
longing to the New York Yacht club
came to anchor off Morris cove last
evening in a light breeze, the last OF
the fleet dropping anchor about nine
o'clock. The breeze was in favorable
quarter all the way up the sound, but
If didn't blow hard enough to fill the
sails of the big yachts. All of the
Yachts entered the harbor under full
sail, and the sight was peautlful one.
There was a regular procession OIL
graceful white sails as far as the eye
could see, and occasionally steam
yacht could be picked out among the
fleet. Most of the steamers reached
New Haven far in advance OF the sail
ing craft and waited for them to come
M This was one of the days when the
steamers have the great advantage of
being able TO get there but during
many Of the cruises Of the New York
club when the breeze was two-reet
one the schooners and big slngle-st1ck-
ers have beaten their steam propelled
sisters by many miles in their runs
from port to port.
The great interest manifested by the
New Haven people was in the appear
ance of the cup defender Constitution
and the I'D defender Columbia, and
| thousands of them took the journey to
the Give to get a look at the yacht that
will probably successfully defend the
right to keep the old Americas cup In
the United States for couple of years
or more. The Constitution, closely fol-
lowed by the Columbia, came into the
harbor about five o'clock and after she
dropped anchor scores OF steam, naph-
tina and electric launches set out from
the shore resorts about New Haven
and iockeyed around the handsome
yacht,
The Constitution looked in perfect
shape and words of great praise were
expressed about her beautiful lines ana
general fine appearance. She was an
chored inside the inner breakWater,
ouite a distance from shore, and the
Columbia came to anchor outside the
outer breakwater She, too, was an
object of much interest and to the
landlubber and, in fact, all who saw
her, looked just like her new sister.
The fleet set sail from Huntington
harbor yesterday morning early, and
the course for the racers ended at Lud-
ington's Rock, a distance of twenty
eight miles. There were races for all
classes. but the sport was not OF the
keenest on account of the light breeze.
IT was a. drifting match a good part OF
the way and the best light-weather
boats won.

pieces taken from the night rope Oh
Nav Fosburgh was introduced and the
defense objected to the admission OF the
evidence. but the judge ruled in favor
of the government after Chief Nichol-
son had said that he had supervised the
tests. handling and loading the revolver
himself.
Various fragments of cloth, powder
marked and each rent by bullet, were
taken UP by the witness, the tests de-
scribed and the results given in detail
A pair of black trousers, identified
as having been found in a closet in the
Fosburgh house, were Identified and Of
fered as evidence.
The chief also said that he received
at his office from time to time after
the tragedy, two pillow cases, hano-
kerchief and a pair of stockings. Ihese
articles were identified and placed In
evidence
At 3:O5 Chief Nicholson had ended his
direct evidence and the cross examlna-
ton was begun.
The cross-examination of Chief Mich
olson developed nothing new. AT the
| conclusion of his cross-exaninat ton the
government rested and there was a
buzz of conversation. in the court room
| for a few moments while Mr.. Hibbard
and Mr. Joyner. counsel for the defense,
consulted preparatory to opening their
case A motion was made that the case
| he dismissed for lack Of sufficient evil
! dence. which the judge at once denled,
saving he would not consider any action
| in this line.
during this trial, the case being sensa-
| tional enough from it's very mysterl-
| BUSINESS, but there was a bolt as from
clear sky this morning at the opening
of the session when Judge Stevens or
dered the expulsion and exclusion OF
several representatives from three New
York papers for the balance of the trial
because of an article which had been
published relative to an alleged cpl
sode at the grave of the victim OF the
tragedy. This episode, it was SAID oc-
Cured on Sunday last and the publica-
ton of the alleged fact the court de-
scribed as ''the grossest attack on the
administration of justice. I can think
of no publication more likely to AFFECT
the minds of the jurors" he said, and
in response to his order to the sheriff
the several representatives. who were
present left the room and will not be
permitted to enter during the balance
of the trial.

wIREI ESS TELEGRAPH IN AFRl-
CA

The French are now Trying to Intro
duce it into Their Colonies and the
Sahara.
The French government has been en-
couraged by the helpfulness that the
British derived from the wireless tele-
rranh in the Boer war and by the re-
suits of the experiments made by the
Prince of Monaco, to take steps, IN
tentative way, to introduce the system
into African colonies. Arrangements
have been made to carry out the exper-
i,nents simultaneously both in the
moist tropical regions and In, the dry
Sahara. The work Is to be advanced
only so far as it's success seems TO pc
assured between the stations where the
apparatus is placed.
| The experiments in the moist, tropl-
| cal regions will begin in Senegampla
| and Gaboon, on the west coast or ARR
ca. They will be under the charge OF
| M. Magne, director of the postal ana
| telegraphic service in the French west
coast colonies. He has recently lett
France with apparatus sufficient TO
| eollip several stations.
His first endeavor will be to estap-
| 1ish wireless communications between
Rufsoue and Goree. The latter town Is
a mile and a half from Dakar' the eH-
cellent port of Senegal, where large
ocean vessels ride safely in deep ana
smooth water and where the Atlantlc
| cable from Europe first reaches the
mainland. About twenty miles 10 the
east is Rufisque separated from doree
only nv a water surface. Magnes Sec
ond experiment will be further south IN
tho still more humid climate of Ga
boon, where he will test the practical
bility of the wireless system between
T ,ibreville and Denis. These towns,
about twenty five miles apart, are also
separated only by water surface, the
purpose being in both these expert
ments to have the most favorable con-
ditions as to surface and thus be able
TO study under the best of circun-
stances the meteorological influences
that may determine the practicability
of the system in tropical Africa. If
wireless telegraphy proves to be sue

be to extend it inland.
Meanwhile the project of establishing
wireless communications across the
desert of Sahara is under way. Two
missions equipped with modified Mar
conf apparatus, are to start. one from
Tinbuctoo and the other from Tuat, the
termini of the proposed line across the
desert. They are to follow the usual
caravan route along line of wells, be-
tween these two points. The advanta-
ges of this route are that it offers
considerable amount of grazing for
camels is far to the west of the hostile
Tuaregs, and is inhabited, here and
there, by friendly natives a part OF
whom will be employed to protect the
line if it is put into operation.
The two parties are to establish sta
lions along the route. it being, OF
course. a Necessary condition that each
station is able to communicate success
fully with the one established behind it
The parties will advance only as fast as
this end may be attained. If they are
successful they will meet In the middle
of the desert and wireless telegraphy
will have been established across the
greatest waste in the world.-NeN
