I heard a curious imjusition which as practised by a Bostonian of yachting proclivities upon a friend from New York, whose knowledge of yachts, and indeed seagoing vessels generally, was limited to the bsrest acquaintance with their general characteristics. The two friends were on the steamer Puritan,of the Fall River line, and as they were admiring the delicate decorations in white and gold that are such *u improvement on the old time methods of cabin ornamentation for such craft, the Bostonian called the other's attention to the painted Teasel that stands ont against a glowing sunset above the stairway in the main saloon, and has upon the canvas the word “Mayflower." As every visitor with nantical or historic knowledge is aware, this vessel is the Mayflower of our Pilgrim ancestors. Dot the fun loving Bostonian called his friend's attention to it as a representation of tlie famous yacht that carried off the honors for the old Puritan town, was naturally amused when his suggestion was taken in earnest, qualified only by the remark, "I don't see how such a lubberly looking craft could bare won a race."—Boat on Post. l-attaetlc SbiIUbe.

SHE MASTERED THE 'GATOR.

A Texas Woman's I'lo,

a Saurian la til

Daring the high water throughout Texas a huge alligator was lolled under what were prulnbly the moat carious circamstsnns that such a thing ever took idncc. A woman named Lucinda Barm, living about half a mile on the other side of the Brazos river, found berarlf cut off from the town and herneighbor* by the water, though her house, standing as it did on an elevated point, was ont of danger. She lived quite alone, and her provision* giving ont one day there was no ot * mure but herself; so, getting "dugout," or borne manufactured boat she ptwaemed, she rowed herself to town, and after purchasing what she needed, which included a sack of flour, she started home again. She had crossed about a quarter of mile of the sheet of water, which, at this point, was over right imics wide, the river bring spread all over jts bottom, and was within half a mile of home when the boat Orach what seemed a floating log. But the . inert wheeled suddenly about and displayed the horrid. gas|iing mouth and scaly head of an alligator. The creature, which had apparently been floating asleep on the water, seemed to regard the blow of the boat as a direct insult, and made for it furiously. The woman, who is of puwcrfB build, rowed with all ber might, bat soring that it was impossible to outstrip the sanrian. tnnied and made for the ride she had just left, the 'gator fallowing. He caught her rarily and thrusting his long, black jaioat ovei the side of the boat, narrowly miss.*

Mrs. Barns struck him - with all her might across the nose with an oar and caused him to fall bock for a moment, bat he returned to the attack and again came near turning over the boat. This wasTrpeated several times, the woman making the must of her ojiportnnilii rowing withjdl ber might and now ai then striking at the alligator, first witji one oar and then with the other, as he would approach either side of the A current caught her and lent its aid in sending her toward the shore, where crowd bail assembled and was watching her movements in breathless intereM. It was evident, if she could sncceed in warding off the attacks of her etp-my a little longer, she would reach the shore in safety; bnttodo this was becoming more and more difficult, for the alligator was growing-more virions and he saw his prey was escaping hit The ugly brute drew back foi meat and gathered himself for a rush, that the woman succeeded in ’avoiding by a sweep of the oars, but the saurian tamed instantly to repeat the rush. The spectators gave ber up for lost, for the Iwat was still rocking violently from the agitation caused by the last rush, and, there bring no other boat at hand, assistance from the land was impossible. Mrs. Bums here dropped her oars as if in despair, lint it was soon apparent that her woman's ingenuity had hit on a plan for outwitting her foe. She ripped open one end of the floor sack, and filling a tin dipper used far bailing the boat with the contents, waited until the alligator reached the side of the dngout and then flung the flour straight in his gaping throat and before he conld dive filled his eyes with it. The brute gasped and fionndend fur a moment, then sank, and for several moments she rowed on mi disturbed- Bat presently the black shape rose close to the boat and made another rash at it only to receive another dipperful of the flonr in bis eyes. Maddened and blinded, the alligator did not pause, however, but hurled himself "he frail little vessel with distended jaws and tried to climb in. The boat dipped with his weight and began to fill and sink, but Mrs. Boms caught np the sack of flonr and emptied it into bis.catvcions mouth just as the dngout capsized. Down went the alligator, raising a mimic storm by the fai lashing of his tail and his rolling and tumbling, but the woman struck for land, and, catching a rope that been thrown to I tty. The alligator, still gasping and twisting, rose presently to the surface of the water, and was easily dispatched by shotguns which had bom sent for from town, and only arrived in time to end his 'gatorehip's career.—Atlanta Consti-

‘ Tlie Safe Side. In front of a machine shop on Woodbridge street there is a big ban saw leaning against the wall os a sign. Yesterday forenoon a man with a bundle under his ami was passing, when he caught right of the saw and sheered pH into the street and came to a halt A teamster, who observed the action, "It isn’t running and it won't bite." *T dnnno about that," replied the man as he went a little closer. "I got fooled on one of them things once, and 1 don't propose to be caught again. Look a-thereT He held nt> a hand on which only the thumb was left, gndcontinued: “I didn't 'spose that saw was running either, but she was. Fll just sort o' shy out and give her the rood. If she's running let ’er zip; if she ain't then I hain't lost anything.”—Detroit Free Press.

onoof his early ventures. He went to the ■ west when bnt 28 year* old with a capital i of only two urthree hundred dollar*. He j had done some retaining for a local paper at home and had a smattering of the • printer's art. Hearing of a new town in j tlie mountains, a town of which great ; things were expected, he derided to rstablhdi aiK'WS|iaper there forthwith. He borrowed some money to add to his meager capital, and started alone for the field with his Uttio bqpd-pre**. and tyjie and paperin a wagon. The journey was about fifty miles in length and mostly up bill. The muddy road made the traveling slow and difficult, so that it was almost dark when, on the second day, he came within sight of the new town still five miles distant. Just then, as he polled through a slough at a curve in the road, be overtook a fellow traveler whose old wagon, to which was hitched a bony bone, was hopelessly fast in the land.

Reaching out his hand with true wi*teni .heartiness the driver of the extricated cart, also a young man of 28 or 21. said: '•Thank you, sir! I'm ever so much obliged to yon. Time's mighty precious to me. and I don't know what I'd have done if you hadn't come along. I want to get to the next town just as quick as I cun. I've got a newspajier outfit in my wagon, and I hear there's another fellow trying to get in ahead* of me. Like as not you've been the means of helping me to get the start of him."

One of the feature* of military drill in the Russian army is the training of soldiers to swim in battalions, at the same time using their weapons. At the annual military maneuvers in the presence of the czar a" fine exhibition of proficieQcy was given in this direction. A large force of infantry swam across a IsV* in foil marching order, with the help of fascines made of reeds or rushes or inflated sheepskins. At the same time they kept np a Mrely fire on the boat of a supposed enemy who were disputing their passage.—Exchange.

Horns growing from the human skin are very uncommon in their occurrence, bnt one of the foreign medical journals contains an account from a physician of a case of this kind treated by him, the subject being a laboring man of 63 years. The bom projected for an inch from the lower lip on the right ride, and had a blunt extremity, was firmly adherent and the ultin around at the base exhib-

ited superficial ulceration.

The fact as elicited was that it had first appeared as a small warty growth some three years previously, had slowly increased, and after being cut off with a razor on two occasions seemed to grow again quicker each time. On the opposite ride of the same lip was what appeared to bo another warty growth in its early stages, and the patient was >u the habit of bolding his clay pipe this ride and not on that from which the born grew. .There were no glands enlarged and the patient was in a good state of health. The treatment, which wa* entirely successful, consisted in the removal of the horn, together with the I art of the lip to which it was attached, by means of a small V shaped incision nnder cocaine locally injected, and bringing the edges together with one or two sutures.—New York Tribune.

It has been shown by M. Esmarch that disease microbes do not long survive in corpses, and that as a general rule the more rapidly decomposition takes place the more quickly will the organisms perish.
