Record Swim for a Crocodile.

How far can a crocodile swim? Per-
haps it would be more practical to ask
how far crocodiles do swim? J. Stan
ley Gardiner claims the record for q
crocodile (Crocodilus porosus) that
recently landed in the Fiji islands,
where he took its photograph. No
crocodiles Of this species inhabit the
Fiji islands, and the nearest spot
where they are known to live is the
New Hebrides, 683 miles distant.
Therefore, this crocodile must have
swan 6S3 miles in the open sea. If
anyone knows Of crocodile that
wants to challenge this record, he
should write to the editor of the Eng
lish magazine Nature.

two weeks at snappy pace has reveal
ed many daring novelties to.shoppers.
The Younger women like these new
things that answer their demand for
something different" and they are
to be recommended when circum-
stances allow two or more suits in the
spring outfit. But If only one is to
be bought it is usually best to select
IL IN Conservative rather than unusu-
al style and rely upon accessories
to add the spice of novelty to it. How
ever, suits with fancy vests, like those
Of last spring, are we'll represented in

an. who owns one may furnish it with
q new vest in this springs mode and
indulge her vagrant fancy when she
buys new suit.
One of these suits furnished with q
handsome vest is shown here. Its
important feature is this vest of black
satin with applique of silver ribbon
and silver embroidery. The vest has
a narrow yoke at the top and upturned
facing at the bottom of black satin
the narrow girdle is made of it and
finished with pendant silver flowers.

The oddity of the other suit is its
appealing feature. 1t is a far cry

terials are among them. A clever
sport costume, shown in the picture
above, includes skirt of cross-bar silk

coat-iined with silk like the skirt
Black and dark blue are the colors
liked for these coats. Dark blue cloth
coats with plain white skirts, find q
good mary admirers among women
who borrow this crisp combination
from the men who wear, with one

The second suit pictured demon
strates that very handsome fabrics are
used with fine judgment in outing

the effect of corduroy makes the coat
and skirt with creepy silk in a light
color, figured with white, used in col
lar, cuffs, sash, and a wide band on
the skirt.

DRUGS FEARFUL. AND AWFUL
Amazing Connections That Our Anees-
tors Swallowed, Believing That
They Had Medicinal Virtues.

The medicines used down to even
recent days sound most extraordinary
to our ears. AS late as the eighteenth
century dried toad was seriously con-
sidered specific against the plague.
In an article In the New York Med
zeal Journal DR.. William Renwick
Riddell of Toronto, Canada, mentioned
q few of the remedies in vogue.
A plaster made OF arsenic was APP
piled to cancers. Bleeding was prac-
ticed on all occasions, even In the
time Of our grandparents. But the
sovereign remedy of all was known
as mitfridatium or theriaca. This was
the great antidote of Roman phar-
macy. 1t originally had 40 or 80 In
gradients, all vegetables, but Nero's
physician, Andromachus, added the
flesh of vipers. Every physician had
his own variation of the formula, and
Matteoli in the sixteenth century put
no less than 12O ingredients into it.
The name theriaca or theriac, I'M
der which it was commonly known,
was derived from the Greek "therion,"
a wild beast, as the stuff was consid-
cred specific against the poisonous
bites Of beasts and serpents. The
French word "theriaque" was corrupt
ed into tie English "treacle," and the
medicine was known in England as
Venice treacle." 1t was the famous
Sydenham who first opposed the use
of drugs. In fact when Sir Richard
Blackmpre asked him for good guide
in practice, he replied: Don Quixote."
and declared that the arrival Of good
clown would do more for the health
Of city than that Of 20 asses laden
with drugs.

BRIEF FASHION HINTS

acterized by uneven hens.
Stirring coats are to large extent or
three-quarter length on loose, belted
and semifitted models.

are much in evidence on hats for
spring, especially on hats Of the sport
order. ,
Headdresses of tiny colorful flowers
arranged on metallic ribbon with
matching girdles are delightful in
