The Tin Of the A11ieator,. Tail.

A great dclicacy in Florida, accord
ing to the Cleveland Leader, is the tip
of an alligator's tail. 1t tastes like
frogs legs, though bit more gamy.
Alligator tails are best just after the
ricebird season. The big alligutors
float in the water with only their eyes
showing. When they see flock OF
these fat, juicy little birds they dive
to the bottom Their long. wide snout
scoops up some Of the loan, and they
float To the surface again with just the
rich soil showing The birds think 1t
is an island They alight upon it,
When the whole family is there the big
reptile turns suddenly. Just as the
birds scramble off he opens his month
once They are gone The birds are neat
little feeders, and the alligator Is an
epicure at this time of the year. The
ricebird diet makes the tip Of his tail.
of which he is most vain, tender and
sweet.

DanSera of COcaine.

Cocaine. an alkaloid of cocoa leaves.
was discovered in 1859, but remained
in comparative obscurity until 1884. In
minute doses, whether taken internally
or used as spray on mucous surfaces,
its effect is wonderfully eXhilarating
producing for a time. the fresh and
buoyant sensations Of youth and per.
feet health, that have apparently no
unpleasant. reaction, and therein lies
the explanation of the subtle and IT,
resistible power it quickly acquires
over its victims, carrying them to the
very brink Of destruction before they
have dreamed Of danger. Being a Gu
mulative poison, the first warning
symptom does not appear until the
fatal chains are riveted that shall drag
them, horror stricken and poWerless of
resistance, over the precipice to com.
plete mental, moral and physical ruin

Russia, and If perhaps the throne was

stance it can at least be said of all of
them that they reigned more wisely
than the elnperors of that period and
that they have left names more famous
than those Of their male predecessors
and successors. With all her many
faults Catherine the Great proved q
wise and powerful monarch, and much

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

Deafness Cannot Be Cured
by local applications, as they can
not reach the diseased portion of
the ear. There is only one way
to cure deafness, and that is by
constitutional remedies. Deaf
ness is caused by an intlamed
condition of the mucous lining of
the Eustachian Tube. When this
tube is inflamed you have arum b.
ling sound or imperfect hearing,
and when it is entirely closed,
deafness is the result, and unless
the inflammation can be taken out
and this tube be restored 20 its
normal condition, hearing will be
destroyed forever; nine cases out
of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an inflamed
condition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give one hundred dol

Foreign Flag. In America.

The first flag to float over American
soil was the royal standard. of Isabella,
emblaZoned with the arms of CASTLE
and Leon. A white flag with green
cross was its companion. Some years
after Columbus landed at San Salvador
the Cabots planted the banner of Eng
land and of st. Mark of Venice ON the
eastern shore Of North America In
the centuries that have interviewed
since a variety of national flags have
waved where now only the stars and
stripes is the accepted emblem. Over
Texas have fioated the French, Span

the Spanish flag, the tricolor the Amer
lean and Confederate flags; III Califor-

Godfrey Hudson, the famous dwarf

during the festivities attending the

bow to the king and queen. At the
age Of twenty he was eighteen inches
high. but before attaining the age of

Vanilla,

v s -
It Is curious to read that vanilla was
employed by the Aztecs Of Mexico as
an ingredient in the manufacture of
chocolate prior to the discovery Of
America by the Spaniards and that It
was brought to Europe as a perfume
with indigo. coch:neal and cacao ten
years before the arrival Of tobacco on
our shores. The name vanilla is de-
rived from the Spanish vaina, pod or
capsule. Dampier described it as a
little pod full of small black seeds and
like the stem Of tobacco leaf, so much
so that his men when they found the
dried pods at first threw them away,
wondering why the. spaniards should
