ALIGATORs IN CAPTIVITY.
Not Hard to Raise. but Are cannIh0

Not Hard to Raise, but Are Cannibal- and Eat Their Young,
 Probably as long as alligators have
 been known the young have been kept as curiosities, and most amusing pet, do the little fellows make. Unlike the young of other wild animals, which are sometimes domesticated when small they grow very slowly, especial
 ly when out of their natural environ ment, and are consequently well adapted for this purpose as a number of years elapse before the alligator large enough to be troublesome or even dangerous. Alligators do not ap-
 pear to be very intelligent, the recog-
 milton of the person who feeds them, in captivity being about the limit of their mental attainment. The older
 ones are sluggish and lazy, though they sometimes fight viciously with each other, and are capable of doing terrible execution when aroused.
 If property taken care of, the young
 alligator will thrive even in unnatural circumstances. His main reuuire-
 ment is sufficient heat, and if the boy ! or cage be kept at too low a tempera-
 ture the little reptile becomes languid and almost torpid, refuses to eat for long periods, and frequently dies at the end of some weeks. If, however, the temperature of the air be raised, or the tank wherein he lies be warmed

THE CoLoRs OF SYRIA.

The crowning glory of Syrian land scape is it's brilliant coloring. Before | left America it seemed to me that the vivid tints of Tissot's pictures must be exaggerated, but they fall short of the reality. Of course. no artist can hope to reproduce the marvellous warmth and depth of the colors in an Eastern landscape, or to initiate the vague, soft hues that are so characteristic of the Syrian atmosphere; but it would be almost as impossible for him to find tints that were overbright or to ar range them in an order too daring to be matched by the Syrian sun.
 The very nights are full of color The moonlight is so brilliant that it is easy to read a guide-book; and, even on a

he soon reyives and attests his con- tinued interest in life by renewed ac- tiVity and the reappearance of his ap- petite. Unlike the older members of his family. the young 'gater in cap tivity is quite lively; sometimes of an Investigating turn of mind. and usualy combatiye, his antics are often divert ing. If he can escape from his cage he vii travel considerable distances and unless overcome by cold will wan der indefinitely, subsisting as best he can.
 Many people who have attempted to kept young alligators have made the mistake cf trying to feed them on i [ 9table diet, for the alligator is T md last a carnivore. The diet OI inc young, who should be fed nearly every days day, is simple, and consists of bits of fresh meat. insects and worms. They often show great fond ness for the ordinary earthworms, and will frequently refuse all food but these. The larger specimens in captivi- ty are fed about three times a week on freshly meat or small live animals, and they require litIe attention other than this. The older ones, particularly the males will, if posiblse, eat the small alligators with avidity, and to check these cannibalistic tendencies the rep tiles must be properly segregated.
 Alligators seldom breed in captivity and while the females sometimes lay eggs, the latter are usually unfertile However, the eggs that have been found in a natural condition in the curious cone-shaped mud nests are easily matched by the application ol heat, and while the young are at hrs' feeble and helpless, they usually sur vive if carefully handled.

nnoonless night, and in the wilderness, far from any city's glare, the starlight has been so bright that I could see the second hand of my watch and could find quite distinct shadow cast by Jupiter. A moonlit scene at home gives only the impression of light spots and dark spots; everything in black or white or gray; but herein Syria the moonlight shows all the colors of the rainbow. The green of the trees and grain, the red of the tile. roofs, the blue of sea and sky, and the white of the distant mountains are softer and more delicate, but hardly les distinct, one from. the other. than in the sum light. ....

THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL.
Few People Know How Useful 1t is iu
 Preserving Health and Beauty.

Nearly everybody knows that char coal is the safest and most efficient dis infectant and purifier in nature, but few realize it's value when taken into the human system for the same cleansing purpose.
 Charcoal is a remedy that the more you take of it the better; it is not a drug at all, but simply absorbs the gases and impurities always present in the stomach and intestines, and carries them out of the system.
 Charcoal sWeetens the breath after smoking, drinking or after eating onions and other jodorous vegetables.
 Charcoal effectually clears and im- proves the complexion, it whitens the teeth and further acts as a natural and eminently safe cathartic.
 It absorbs the injurious gases which collect in the stomach and bowels; it disinfects the mouth and throat from the poison of catarrh.
 All druggists sell charcoal in one form or another, but probably the best charcoal and the most for the money is in Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges; they are composed of the finest powdered willow charcoal and other harmless an- tiseptics in tablet form, or rather in the form of large, pleasant tasting loz- enges, the charcoal being mixed with honey.
 The daily use of these lozenges will soon tell in a much improved condition of the general health, better complex ion, sweeter breath and purer blood, and the beauty of it Is that no possible harm can result from their continued use, but, on the contrary, great benent A Buffalo physician, in speaking o1 the benefits of charcoal, says; Il ad- wise Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges to all patients suffering from gas in stomach and bowels, and to clear the complex ion and purify the breath, mouth and throat; I also believe the liver is great ly benefited by the daily use of them; they cost but twenty-five cents box at drug stores, and although in some sense a patent preparation, yet l be- lieve get more and better charcoal in Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges than in any of the ordinary charcoal tablets.
