mothers attention to the fact the lat

amining the girls body she found that
both heels, the tips of her shoulder
blades and her hips were similarly af-
fected.
Physicians were called in, although
every effort was made to keep the mat

unable to account for the condition
which has now spread until both legs
above the ankles are turned to stone.
The hips of the affected girl have no

The Wary Crocodile.

Besides the fish which form part
OF crocodile's regular diet, a certain
number of land animals are caught at
the drinking places along the river
bank. 81 have heard of a case where
a mugger n an Indian river, after
missing his first dash waited for the
victim agaia. says writer The
proceedings were watched by an Eng
lishman far away on the other bank
who was employing his leisure by
searching the edge Of the river with
a glass. A native woman came down
to fill her water-pot, and while thus
employed wes attacked by the croco-
die. She Jumped back just in time,
but in the effort of flight dropped her
only garment. She took cover under
a bush up the bank, and after what
appeared a safe interval cautiously
returned for her clothing; as she
reached it she was seized and car
ried off by the brute, which had ap.
parently been watching her all the
time.

Pay of Leeisl"tors Raised.

A measure has passed the New Zeal
and parliament providing for in
creased payment to members of par
lament. Hitherto members of the
house of representatives have been
paid at the rate of $1,000 a year and
