MEETING A CROCODILE.
The Animal and the Hunters Were All
Taken by Surprise.

Taken by Surprise.
While looking for hippopotamus 1t
was the fortune of the author OF
uganda to Khartum' to encounter u
crocodile dnder somewhat unusual cir
cumstances. He was following a fresh
track leading through the dense UNDER
growth from the lake inland. Two
men accompanied him, one carrying
his camera and the other bis second
gun, while he shoudered his rifle.
Suddenly ! heard rustling noise In
front Of me and realized that some
creature was approaching. but what?
1t could not be the hippo, because there
was no thunderous tread, but had no
time to think, for the creature, what
ever 1t might be, was upon me in Sec
Ond.
At two yards / discovered what it
was-an immense crocodile more than
twelve feet long.
/ was right in its path, and there was
no possible escape on either side, so I
stood still with my rifle at shoulder
and waited. The crock did not wait,
however, and in some remarkable way
1t hustled me to one side, almost knock
ed me over, and endeavored to make his
way to the water.
To dispute his right Of way would
have been folly I realized only a hor-
rible, soft, wriggllng mass pressing
against my legs In a most sickenlng
way. Why he did not bite me do not
know At first | thought he had done
so as he brushed against my leg, but
found 1t was only his horny scales that
scraped my shin. And he was more
taken by surprise than was and for
got all about his huge jaw and the
lasting impression be might have made
upon my legs.
After he hal passed turned to see
how the men would fare. One bad got
back to the shore and so was no longer
in view The other man with the cam
era was the funniest sight. His head
was stuck fast in the thick tra,nbles,
and his legs were In the air, the cam
era OF course in the mud beside him.
DO not think the "croek" could have
seen him, for be had literally taken
header into the bush, and bis legsGwero
far above the crocodlle's jaws.

A Chance to Be Mayor.

Patrick A. Collins, mayor OF Boston
for a number Of years past, believes
that boys word Is worth listening to.
that q saloon was located too near a
certain public school The politicians
and others interested in keeping the
place open, urged him not to interfere
with the resort. The school authorities
desired il closed and removed
After the mayor had listened to argu.
ments from both sides, he said;
We'll, / m going to let the boys Of
the school tell me what they think Of
the place. Send me- he said TO the prin-
cipal of the school, half dozen OF your
brightest boys. III listen to them"
The next day half dozen Of the boys
ranging from ten to fifteen years Of age,
called on the mayor Each boy gave
some reason why he believed the saloon
ought to be taken away, until ii came
TO the last one, yongster Of twelve,
He looked the mayor squarely in the eye,
and gave as his reason:
my school gives me a chance to be
mayor Of Boston some day; the saloon
don't. ! think us boys ought to have
all the show we can get to be mayor.
That's all | know about It,"
The mayor threw himself back in his
chair and laughed heartily; then straigh.
tening up, he said to the last spokes-
mani
MY boy, you have said more than did
all the politicians and the teachers. You
shall have the show to be mayor That
saloon will have to quit business at
once"
The boys gave the mayor hearty
cheer, and marched out Of the office.
They had conquered, and were conse-
quently happy and triumphant. Con.

The sNEEzE.
In Past Ages II Played a Very I'm
portant Part In Life.

Many odd notions still exist as TO
sneezing, and some persons may DO
heard to exclaim "Bless, my soul,
oncer BLESS my soul, twice. and so
on after each sneeze. But IN past
ages the sneeze really played a very
important part
In ancient Greece the people saluted
each other whenever any one present
Glanced to sneeze. AS Xenophon was
addressing the Greek army In a mo-
ment Of defeat on historical occa-
sion soldier sneezed. The lines of
battle were formed at once, for the
sneeze was deemed good omen, and
the Greeks were successful.
Among the Hebrews when a person
sneezed the bystanders would say,
"Tobinz challm"-"A long life to you"
In India criminals on the rack Of tor
ture have saved their own lives by
sneezlng accidentally.
A humorous story about sneezlng is
told In that wonderful collection Of
oddities, "The Arabian Nights" A
schoolmaster was particular In teach
ing his pupils the value OF pollteness.
He also told them that whenever he
sneezed they should clap their hands
and say, Long live our noble master"
One day master and pupils went out
for stroll. The mir was hot and all
soon grew very thirsty. Great was
their Joy at last to find a well. But
the bucket was at the bottom OF tho
well, and so the schoolmaster went
down to bring It up. The boys seized
the rope and tugged for dear life. Just
as the schoolmaster reached the top OF
the we'll he sneezed. The boys let go
the rope aud clapped their hands, shout
ing, Long live our noble masterr
As for the poor schoolmaster, he fell
TO the bottom Of the wen, where he
may be to tl,i3 day, for all one knows :

For Mothers
Greatest Care Needed in Selecting Right
Food for Baby.

Every mother should consult her ply.
stefan before deciding what food to use
for her little one More sickness Is
caused BY the injudieious use of con
dcnsed milk and ordinary cows milk
than from all other causes.
Among. the half dozen foods that ply,
sjcians recommend, no one is more highly
esteemed than Justfood, as when pre-.
pared in accordance with the simple di-
reetions for use, it is physically the same
as mothers milk, containing bone and
tooth-forming material that obyiates all
fear Of soft teeth or ricketts,, and as 1t Is
very delicate and easily absorbed, the
baby holds it down and thus gains all
the food nomishment.

THE USEFUL YAWN.
rhis Lung YentilatinS Process serves
n Double Purpose


The act Of yawnIng Is distinctly bene-
fetal in two ways. In the first place
1t serves the purpose Of lung ventila-
tio@ The lungs are not filed or ex-
hausted by ordinary respiration. There
Is certain quantity Of air which phys
ioIogists call residual air" left In the
recesses OF the lungs after the ordinary
respiration. This in time becomes viii
ated and affects the blood and. through
1t, the nervous centers.
The result is a yawn, which is really
a stretching Of the respiratory chamber
to its fullest capacity and the filling
Of II with freshly inspired air which
drives the vitiated air out. Yawning is
also beneficial In so far as it opens,
stretches and ventIlates the vocal, ma
sal ard auditory chambers in immedi-
ate connection with the mouth.
The cracking sound often heard when
yawning Is due to the stretching and
opening of the eustaehian tubes. which
form a communication between the
middle ear and the back of the throat.
The deafness which often accompanies
q cold is due to the congestion Of these
tubes.-London Hospital
