A Bridge of CrOcOdiles.

A traveller writes of a port in north western ln,la: The great sight of karachi is the sacred crocodile pre- serve at Magar 1'ir. some seven miles off. There ere hot springs here which feed shallow tank containing nearly hundred crocodiles. The story, usu ally thought to be fictitious, of the Eng lisllman who for bet crossed the tank by jumping successively from the backs of these crocodiles is based on fact. The hero of this foolhardy feat was certain Lieutenant Beresford, a friend of Sir k. r. Burton. When Bur ton and his companion were visiting the crocodiles' tank they noticed thu, these reptiles and certain islets of reeds happened to make an almost continu- ous bridge across the tank. This prompted the daring subaltern to haz- ard the feat of crossing by hopping from one crocodile to another. To the amazement of the spectators he sue ceeded in this apparently mad attempt. Sir Richard Burton had already sue cessfully performed an equally daring feat. He managed to muzzle a croco- dile by means of lasso and then jumped on the reptiles back and en- joyed somewhat zigzag ride"

KITCHEN HELPS.

Use soap and wood ashes to brighten pans and kettles that have been used over an open fire.
 Grease the upper inside edge of the pan in which chocolate is being made. and it will not boil over.
 An old bookcase set on the table, back to the wall, makes a respectable imitation of a kitchen cabinet and saves many steps.
 Always place knife which has been used in cutting onions immediately un- der the cold water spigot to prevent the odor from cllnging to the blade.
 When washing sieve don't use soap. A brush and clear water are generally all that is needed. but soda should be used if the sieve be greasy.
 Every we'll appointed kitchen should boast of one good sieve and a first class skinner of the wire gauge sort. These are quite essential in addition to the ordinary perforated utensils.

Value of a Correct Walk.

A woman who leads a very active life has q theory that the preservation of good figure depends to some ex- tent on the manner of walking. Many people, she says, as they advance in years allow themselves to walk heavily and without elasticity, so that the whole weight rests on the lower part of the limbs at every step, the only ef- feet of exercise being weariness of the legs and feet. Instead of this the body should be held erect and poised so as to have perfect balance. In this way the muscles are braced and strength ened throughout, the lungs must of ne cessity be we'll expanded, and it seems quite reasonable to suppose that the tendency to increase of weight may be checked. At all events a lighter step and a brisker and more enjoyable man. ner of walking can be kept up, and that in itself Is very great gain.

Inside Your Bones.

People usually imagine that their bones are of solid mineral construc- tion, without any feeling in them. As matter of fact, there are blood yes sels and nerves inside the bones just as there are outside During amputa- tion of li:>.b much more pain is felt when the bone is attacked than when the flesh is being cut through Through the marrow which is inside the bones run the nerves and blood vessels, en- tering the bones from the flesh without by little holes. Nature adapts the bony structure of various animals to their habits in q very interesting manner. Sluggish creatures, like the sloth. have solid bones. whereas the bones of the deer and the antelope are comparative ly light. so that they may run fast, and the leg bones of the ostrich are hollow. You will find ill the bones of any skel- eton the application of mechanical principles which have only become known to man through the processes of laborious and long considered in- ventiOn.

THE DOUBLE CHIN.
Correct Treatment For the Lower
 Part of the Face.

VOETeC1 1EGat1eHt NHc AONVCE
 Part of the Face.
 There is scarcely any one who retains the contour of the lower part of the face after the age of thirty. Either the underjaw becomes thin or the dreaded double chin arrives, and both could be prevented if few precautions were taken against the tendency of nature to play tricks with this part.
 The correct treatment for the lower part of the face is to rest the face ill the palms of both hands, with the fin gers resting on the temples. TEe thumbs will then be along the jaw bone. and the check will rest against the full flat of the hand In this posi- tion knead the face gently. always bearing in mind the lifting" process of the flesh on the face. Tie same treatment applies for the double chin and the emaciated face As many peo pie will doubt this statement ii i.s best explained that either condition has been brought about by sluggish cireH lation. and this results sometimes in an insufficient and sometimes in su- perdHous deposit of fatty tissue, There fore ntassage, which equalize5 matters, repairs the Nrong in both cases Ii builds up wasted tissues and causes to be absorbed any unhealthy deposit Of fat

HER COMF!DANT.
That Is What n Mother should Be to
 Her Daughter.

Her Daughter.
 AS one grows older it seems harder and harder to enter into the plays and fancies of the children around us. even If they are our very own. There are mothers who have such busy lives that any eXertion that is not absolutely necessary is really an impossibility but many are too lazy mentally and physically to keep in touch with their children. mothers who wall aloud that their children do not give them their confidence
 No child who had absolute confidence in her mother ever went very far wrong
 One cannot help being struck by the lack of sympathy between the average mother and daughter or father an' son, especially as the children grow up, and the fault seems to be largely with the parents. They are so apt to be the parents, not the friend and companion to whom the children would go with even the stiffness of youth and have them received as such, not as things of lasting importance. and to be referred to again and again after they have passed and are sinking into oblivion.
 "Oh, can't tell mother anything. she lays so much stress, so much impor- tance, on every trihe and never forgets 1t or lets me wish l had mother could tell things to- is the cry one hears continually from schoolgirls New York Press

An Economical Dinner.

Fore quarter of lamb is the most economical roast to be had and one of the very best. Order q large piece, at least seven pounds, and have five or six chops taken off first and then two pounds of the neck and rib ends for q stew or lamb pie. The shoulder blade and bits of bone are to be made into a soup with the ordinary vegetables and either a cup of beans, mashed, or a cup of tomatoes to give body to it; the whole, of course served clear.
 The roast may or may not De stuHed in the pocket left by the shoulder blades removal. The peas may be canned ones for convenience or fresh vegetable. such as caulitiower, may be substituted If one wishes to have this a company dinner, d simple green salad may follow the lamb. with Frenci: dressing and waters. s.-Harper' Bazar.

Daring and DexterOus.

For feat of dexterity and nerve 1t would be difficult to surpass that of the Bosjesman of South Africa, who walks quietly up to a puff adder and delib- erately sets his bare foot oH it's neck. In its struggles to escape and attempts to bite it's assailant the poison gland secretes a large amount of the venom. This is just what the Bosjesman wants. Killing the snake, he eats the body and uses the poison for his arrows.

When the afternoon train from Tus- caleosa reached centrevilIe it brought Tom Norwood and Miss Lena Hen dricks. who reside in Tuscaloosa coun- ty. near Duncanville. It developed that the young couple had defied the strenuous objections Of the parents of the bride and had come to CentrevillA to be married. as the train going from Duneanville to Tuscaloosa had left them
 They speedily reached the court house from the depot and the clerk in the probate office issued the neces- sary license Judge Pratt being ab- sent and no preacher being in sight. Justice of the Peace H. c. Cleveland was sent for post haste. Judge Cleve- land promptly responded. In the mean while large crowd had gathered In the probate office to witness the cere- uony but the young couple did not become excited Some of the by islanders raised the point that the Justice had not exacted any promises af the bride, but the Judge held the point not we'll taken, so the happy groom and his handsome blonde bride repaired to Yeager's new hotel. where they remained until the noon train today
 Yesterday after a long but harmo- nious session at the court house, the members of the Farmers Union of Bibb county decided to purchase the warehouse formerly owned by the Centreville Wareshouse Company.
