CROCODILE'S DENTIST.
Species of PIOver That Removes Par
asites from the Reptiles Mouth
UnmOl ted.

ST wish we had a crocodile plover
here 1t would amuse the children
said John Lover, a keeper at the Zoo
according to the Philadelphia Record
''What kind of bird is a crocodile
plover?' some one asked.
.It's the crocodile's dentist" Lover
replied. ''It keeps the crocodile's
mouth in good condition"
"The CROCODILE he went on, ''is
much annoyed by parasitic insect
that enters his mouth and breeds
there, in crannies that he can't get
at. The plover feeds on this insect,
and will go into crocodile's mouth
fearlessly after it. The crocodile
seems to recognize instinctively that
the bird is his friend. He let's it hop
in and out of his mouth without mo-
lestation. The children would be
much amused to see such sight. We
ought to get crocodile plover by all
means"
Crocodile p1over. Hpmph!' re-
marked a bystander in a pointed
manner. - - -

Women workers in France.

Official reports of the French gov
ernment on sociological matters are
always very late, but whether they
have any bearing on the question of
Frances dwindling population or not
these reports, as they relate to the
industrial work of women from 1866
TO 1896, are still interesting. In 1866
there were 4,642 900 women workers
in the republic, and in 1896, 6,3S2,000.
Tn commerce 296, 600 women were en-
ployed in 1896, as against $4,000 in
1866. or one woman to two men. The
increasing number of women en-
ployed in the post, banking, carrier
trade and transport business is still
more striking, being from $4,000 in
1866 to $4,000 in 1896. whilst in sew
eral independent callings the mum.
bers have increased nearly fourfold.
It appears, too, that the trades and
industries from which women are ex-
cluded are declining.-Detroit Free
Press.

was not a chair nor table; not a
piece of furniture except the bed.
My feeling was anything but pleas
ant. The conviction deepened that ]
was in a trap, and in the hands of
murderers and thieves. This opinion
was confirmed when | examined the
door and found it was fastened by Q
spring lock on the outside. There
was no knob nor key-hole. The
plain strong door perfectly fast was
there before Inc. / was prisoner.
| I lifted the covering of the bed
which hung down to the floor and to
nv inexpressible horror saw the feet
of a man. Cold chills ran up and
down my back; the sweat broke out
over me and my hair seemed to be
rising upon my head. There was
nothing whatever with which to de-
fend myself and no possible way Of
escape.
Summoning all the courage within
me, / said in a hoarse unnatural voice
which seemed to me as If it was some
one else speaking, the very sound of
which frightened me more and more.
"Come out of there!" There was not
a sound or motion. This en-
bolden me little. "Come out,
say; l see you! Come out! or l will
pull you out!"
| Still not sound. I caught him by
the ankles and dragged him from un-
der the bed. He was lying face
downward / threw him over upon
his back, and saw by the dim light
the most CHASTITY and horrible spec
tacle my eyes ever beheld. The eyes
and mouth were wide open, and the
throat cut from ear to ear, the
whole face and bosom fearful mass
of blood. >
Good God! What s1,~uld l do?"
I saw in that bloody, hideous corpse
nv own sure doom. l realized that
nv time was short, but determined
to sell my life as dearly as | could.
Rolling the wretched looking thing
back under the bed 1 commenced to
try the little posts and found they
could be taken apart. One of these
I secured and took it to the light to
/ examine. 1t was about three feet
long. two and half inches in diam
eter and of oak wood, which made it
an effective club.
T turned off the light entirely and
found that by the street lamps
could barely outline any object
which might be in the room.
/ 7 knew full we'll that when the
madnan had given me time to fall
asleep he would return to do his
deadly work.
Taking my stand beside the door,
in a position which gave me COM
mand of the situation, | held my club
conveniently, and waited for the first
click or movement OF the LOCK-
Two hours must have passed when /
heard. or felt rather, soft step in the
hall near the door.
Then the slow insertion of key into
the spring lock, and the latch went
hack. Softly the door opened. Slow
" lifted my club above my head. Sud-
denly head was thrust in; the back
towards me; a glittering blade was in
,;s hand. He looked first at the bed,
where he expected to find me. 1t was
| his last look. Quick as flash and ter
rible as a thunderbolt my club descend
ed. The man fell limp and lifeless at
nv feet, his head crushed into jelly.
One sigh. a shudder, and he was gone.
Then an awful chilly, deathlike still
ness filled the air. A horror cannot
express swept through my soul. just
| then heard my friends key III the lock
at the front door of our car, and woke
from my dream.

in a few minutes into well-lighted
street.
"Ah," she said with a good long
breath, 1--WE are nearly there. That
is the house, and / am SO glad. Now

minutes. / will introduce you to my

Feeling IN no mood to go back

cepted her invitation. She led me

call it irreverence to sleep in church!
Nonsense! It is only carbonic dlox-

STREET RAILWAY
FRANCHISE.
The Subject Discussed at The
Advancement Club.

| The application for franchises grant
ing additional street railway privil-
eyes 10 the Milwaukee Light, Heat
& Traction Company on the various
streets in the city of Wauwatosa, has
been filed with the city clerk and will
probably be laid before the common
council. at it's next meeting. 1t was
discussed at the rooms of the Wauwa-
tosa Advancement Club on Wednesday
evening of this week, at which time a
considerable number of the members
were in attendance.
The street railway company desires
to obtain franchises on several streets
and avenues in the city, as follows:
East Milwaukee avenue, North ave-
nue., State street, Grand avenue extern
ded west of 59th street, and Greenfield
avenue. 1t proposes to construct the
Greenfield avenue line from West Main
street to West Allis during the present
summer provided the franchises be
granted as applied for, and the consent
of the town board of Wauwatosa be
obtained, and to give five cent fare
from any part of Wauwatosa City to
any part of West Allis over the Green
field avenue line.
The proposed franchise was read at
the meeting and discussed at length by
those who were present, the general
opinion being that line to West Allis
will be desirable thing for Wauwa-
tosa. AS the meeting was wholly in
formal no resolutions were offered.
1t is reported that the matter will be
likely to be further considered at a
regular Advancement Club meeting in
the future. Several of the city officials
were present and taking part in the
discussion.
