The superstition that deaths by
crocodile are the inevitable result i'm.
mediately after a curtain has been
washed in the river has been constant
ly confirmed.
A curious note upon this supersti-
ton appears in the monthly report of
W. B. Smith, district officer at Tim
bang Batu, North Borneo. He says:
1.-TWO crocodile fatalities have been
reported, and there have been several
narrow escapes. Toward the end of
December the enlightened authorities
at Pangkalan Bandau sent up an aged
Chinaman to Timbang Batu under ar
rest for having washed his mosquito
net in the river. A woman was taken
in the same place by crocodile few
hours later, coincidence which great
ly enhanced his guilt while adding,

Free Certificate for Himself.

The following story is told of the
late DR.. James C. Swan, physician
of the old school, who practised his
profession for a great many years in
Bridgewater, Mass, and the surround
ing towns.
This generous if not alluring offer
was made by him to the pernicious
father of an insane young man:
The old man wished to secure his
sons admission to the insane asylum,
but seemed unwilling to pay for the
necessary certificate. After hearing
his plea of poverty, which the doctor
knew to be false, and hearing him also
tell of the many expenses to which he
had put by his ungrateful children, the
physician waved his hand to end the
recital.
"Now, see here" he said, sharply;
"you just pay me for this one, and I'll
give you a certificate for yourself,
whenever you wish it, for nothing,
