" " . (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 jnove. 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 In themselves, so great Is our Ignorance about food values. It Is said of the almond: Nut cream-ls recommended for brain workers,. It ls'niade as fol lows: Pound in a mortar or mince fine ly three blanched almonds, two wal nuts and two ounces of pine kernels.

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.

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.

London Spectator. Petrified the Enslishataa Too, "Colonel Tom Ochiltree once upset Lord Lonsdale when the latter was entertained in New York on his way home from an expedition to Alaska," 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 an echo all looked to Colonel Ochiltree to defend his nationality and beat this petrified lion story. "Texas,' said the colonel after a pause, 'has its petrified forests; but al though they contain no petrified lions, they are remarkable for having petri fied birds flying over them.' "'Nonsense!' said Lord Lonsdale. That Is impossible. Such a phenome non Is contrary to the laws of gravita tion. "'Ah, that's easily explained,' re sponded Colonel Ochiltree quickly. 'The laws of gravitation down there are petrified too.' " - . ' Trundle Beda Oat of Pate. There are no trundle beds on the market nowadays," said a New York furniture store salesman.
