CORDED A CROCODILE Turning a Greedy Water Devil Into a Trusted Up Mummy. it to known that a crocodile will lornetlmes leave a river stocked with food, explore for miles an unsuitable J tributary, then wander inland until it ’ finds a pool. lu this way three crocodiles once | found their way to Tuiplng lake. In ; the Malay peninsula. So long as they confined their attention to the fish aud an occasional duck no oue objected to their presence, but when one of them began to tuke sheep off the bank as they came down to drink it was felt that the sauriaas ought to be exter­ minated. and an Englishman and bls servant made the attempt. Obtaining a dugout, they paddled Into deep water. The servant was already barefoot, and the Englishman himself took off shoes and stockings, so that his bare feet might have as good a huld as possible on the smooth bottom of lhe canoe. A bait was at­ tached to a heavy rattan, and soon a tug and a plunge Indented that the crocodile was fast to one end. Im­ mediately the canoe began to move through the water. After a protracted struggle the Engllshni;.n managed to get the crocodile wltldn a few yards of the canoe. At one moiueut the open Jaws would surge out of ttie broken wafer mid simp together ill unpleasant proximity to the men s legs; the uext moment the heavy full would swing free of the water and with the weight ■ if a fulling pole would till lhe side of the ciiuoe u blow that made It shiver. As the cna-odlle surged close to the canoe and the open mouth appeared above the water the aervaut slipped a noose of stout cord over the upper Jaw and pulled It tight some six luches be hind the point of its nostrils Then, with n quick turn of Ills wrist, he slip­ ped the slack of the cord round under the lower Jaw, lie drew the cord tight, and the teeth of each Jaw press ed home Into the sockets of the other. The servant now grasfied the point of the long, narrow heud with one hand and with the other rapidly wound th» cord round the clinched mouth. Another noose was slipped over a fore leg. It pulled the leg up to th» animal’s side. The servant slipped the line over the creature's back aud caught up the other fore leg. Then he noosed and tied together the bind leg». The effect be bad achieved was won­ derful. In a few minutes be hnd transformed a ravening water devil Into a trussed up mummy, and his only weapon had been three pieces of box cord. The tieast was afterward dispatched, and the servant received the govern ment reward.—Harper’s Weekly. Old Age In India Invariably Blends the Two Into Ono. “I have seen women under a burn ing midday sun reaping In the fields.” says a writer on India; “I have seen them at roadmaking in the streets of cities: I have seen them loading en­ gines with coal at railway stations; I hare seen them in long procession on the white roads of the plains carrying great burdens on their heads like a string of camels. And I have seen also In ihe eyes of every old womau whom I have encountered, every one of them, such misery, adversity and an­ gry bitterness as seemed to curse the very air of heaven. I have not seen one happy old woman in the whole country. -Women follow through the village like a dog at the husband’s heel. Ma­ ternity Is no excuse for the tnsk in the field and the duties of the house They are servants without wages and with out liberty to select another master Before them Is perpetual servitude, and if they are so abandoned by the gods as to reach old age their certain des tiny Is misery, dejection, friendliness and black despair I never knew all the meaning of the word woe until I looked Into the face of an old woman under an Aslan sky. "The women folk of the upper classes in India, speaking generally, are more the prisoners of their husbands than the women of the helot castes They do not labor except in cooking and serving the meals of their husbands but they are cut off from lite world ns completely as a uun: they do not even know, tn many cases, the male rela tlons of their husbands.
