(JThe tank, as It Is called. Is about 150
yards long by about half that dis
tance In breadth. In this space one
observer counted over 200 reptiles from
eight to fifteen feet long and smaller
ones innumerable. They are so tame,
In a sense, that It Is necessary to poke
them with a stick beforo they will

Buffaloes are always standing In the
water and are not attacked, but any
other animal Is Instantly seized. "The
whole appearance of the place," says
one writer, "with Its green, slimy,
stagnant water and so many of these
huge, uncouth monsters moving slug
gishly about, Is disgusting In the ex
treme, and. It will lyig be remembered
by me as the most loathsome spot I
vsver beheld." Chambers' Journal.
Almond and Raisins.
"Nuts are the proteld kings among
fruits. It Is on them that the apes
maintain much of their vigor. Thus
'the almond can be thoroughly mastl
cated or else pounded or milled. It is
rich in oil as well as In proteld.
Almonds and raisins, which are so
often taken after a full meal, are,
like cheese, absolutely a complete meal

to serve with any kind of stewed fruit
They are useful medicinally because

ble. Von Mnltke's Simplicity.
Once while traveling General Moltke
entered a small Swiss hotel, and as the
.head waiter saw his gaunt figure stalk
ing In, wrapped in a worn out, dusty
-cloak, carrying an old leather satchel,
he measured his wealth by his looks
-and ordered his assistant to show him
to a small room in the uppermost story.
As he was making himself comfort
able in the attic another assistant came,
.as is customary there, to ask the silent
-stranger his name and rank.
The consequence was that a few min
utes later the proprietor, in full dress,
appeared at the door of the attic to in
form his excellency that a better room
had just been vacated.
"Give that to .my servant," replied
Moltke, "when he comes with my car
riage. This is good enough for me."
And he remained.
Caching's Chair For Visitors. -
Caleb Cushlng desired people to keep
at a distance from him while talking,
and many of his callers had a habit of
gradually moving their chair nearer to
him during a conversation. So one day,
having been very much annoyed in that
way, he sent for a carpenter and made
liim fasten two pieces of board to the
legs of the chair and then screw it to
the floor at the place where he wanted
people to sit. When it was done, he
contemplated it with a smile and re
marked: "I guess I have got them now.
They can't blow their bad breath In
my face any more."
' That chair raised a laugh on many
a visitor, who, after several Ineffectual
attempts to move It forward, would,
on looking closer, find it fastened to
the floor. -
Collar Is Good to Eat.
"Collar" is the unusual name applied
in England to a preparation of meat
that is only slightly different from one
often served here. Equal parts of cold
-cooked ham and tongue are put through
the meat chopper and afterward pound
ed to a paste, a little dry mustard add
ed and the whole heated. When warm,
press down in a bowl, put on a weight
and let stand to get cold and pack into
form. Slice thin and serve at luncheon
or supper. Harper's Buznr. -
Reform Blocked.
"Look here," said the reforming hus
fcand, "we must have things arranged
In this house so that we shall know
Just where everything is kept."
"With all my heart," sweetly an
swered his wife, "and let us begin with
your late hours, my love. I should
dearly like to know where they are
ept"
He let things run on as usual.

The Crow That Wears a Fool's Cap.
The following clever way of keeping
crows away from a grainfield is ust d
by the farmer of Holland:
He makes some small caps of stout
papw and smears around the inner side
of the mouth of each some bird lime or
other sticky stuff. In these he puts
some grains of corn and stands them
about his fields by pressing their points
Into soft earth.
When the crow finds' one of these
paper caps, he thinks himself in great
luck until he attempts to peck at the
tempting grain., when, to his astonish
ment, he finds the cap attached to his
head a regular fool's cap which will
not even allow him to see what course
to take if he flies up.
However, he succeeds in reaching
some coarse grass or bushes and after
much bewildered scrambling and flop
ping about gets his bead out of this un
desirable .cap and ever afterward
avoids the field where there are more
of them.
Adam's Birthday.
Formerly Oct 23 was regarded as
Adam's birthday. Theologians of the
sixteenth and- seventeenth centuries
wnsted' much scholarship in- efforts to
settle both the manner and the date of
creation. Dr. John Llghtfoot, vice chan
cellor of Cambridge, a Hebrew scholar
of European reputation, published a
statement to the effect that, after years
of research, he had succeeded in dis
covering the precise moment when the
earth "rose out of chaos" and man
made his appearance upon it. This
learned divine declared that "heaven
and earth, center and circumference,
were created all together in the same
Instant and clouds full of water," and
that "this work took place and man
was created by the Trinity on Oct. 23,
4004 B. C, at 0 o'clock in the morning."
Alexander's Miserable End.
At a period when most men who suc
ceed are just beginning to mount the
first Btepplng stone of success Alexan
der the Great was at the summit of his
power. With a' trained force of less
than 40,000 men he had over run all of
what was then considered the civilized
part of Asia and also Egypt. He over
threw army after unuy Immeasurably
his superior In numbers so swiftly that
the world was dazzled by the rapidity,
scope and magnitude of his achieve
ments. He was looked uporfns a sort
of demigod. And yet even he was sigh
ing because there were no more worlds
to conquer. He perished miserably aft
er a prolonged debauch. His mighty
empire melted like a mist under the in
fluence, of the rising sun and his life
work went apparently for nothing.

"Colonel Tom Ochiltree once upset

said a man who saw the fun.
"At a dinner given in his honor Lord
Lonsdale told many thrilling stories,
and an audible 'ohl went around the
table when he finished, telling of a pet
rified forest In Africa, in which he
found a number of petrified lions and
elephants. As the Englishman lapsed
Into silence and the applause sank to

"Texas,' said the colonel after a
