As he opened the hall door the vile smell of chemicals which had spoilt his breakfast met him with a redoubled virulence."1 He threw open the hall window, entered the dining room, and stood aghast at the sight which met his eyes. Ida was still sitting among her bot ties, with a lit cigarette In her left hand and a glass of stout on the stable beside her. Clara, with another cigarette, was lounging In the easy chair with several maps spread out upon the floor around, Her feet were stuck up on the coal scut tle, and she had-' a tumblerful of some reddish-brow- n composition on the at her elbow.

"I don't wish to put a damper upon your studies, Ida," said the Doctor, as he pushed back his chair. "But I do think it would be better if you did your chemiqal experiments a little later in the day." . v r., "But Mrs. Westmacott says' that women should rise early, and do their breakfast." "Then they should choose some other room besides the breakfast-room.- " The Doctor was becoming just a little ruffled. A turn in the open air would soothe him, he thought. "Where are my boots?" he asked. But they were not in their accustomed corner by his chair. Up and down he searched, while the three servants took up the quest, stooping anil peeping un der book-casand drawers. Ida had returned to her ' studies, and Clara to her volume, sitting ab sorbed and disinterested amid the bus tle and the racket. At last a general buzz of congratulation announced that the cook had discovered the boots hung up among the hats in the hall. The Doctor, very red and flustered, drew them on, and stamped off to join the Admiral in his morning walk. As the door slammed Ida burst Into a shout of laughter. "You see, Clara," she cried, "the charm works already. He has gone to number one instead of to number three. Oh, we shall win a great victory. You've been very good, dear; I could see that you were on thorns to help him when he was looking for his boots." Poor papa! It is so cruel.

MONARCH OF HIS SPECIES. Killing of an Alligator That Measured Fourteen Feet in Length. To F. A. Dennettee ' .and to ' his brother, Elton D. Dennettee, belongs the credit for the killing of Fort George's famous "gator, a giant in size and so old that his back is crusted with bar nacles and moss. But their encounter with the saurian was not without ex citement and some damage to the hunt ers. They found the 'gator in one of the small creeks that run through the island, sneaked upon him ,In their boat and let him have a bullet from a Winchester. The big fellow gave a roar of rage and pain and at once started for the small craft, his jaws wide open and his tall lashing the water into yeasty foam. They jammed an oar into the 'gator's mouth and he crunched It Into pulp, and then they took the other to stem his onslaughter, but" he broke that, too, and ground it into kindling wood. When almost upon the boat he swung his tail against it and nearly upset it. Elton Dennettee was knocked overboard, and no sooner had the gator seen him than he made for him, and if the young man had not hastily scram bled on boardhe would certainly have met an awful fate. The two men had two pairs of oars and with these they managed to keep the little craft away from a swing of the saurian's tail, which would have crushed in the sides as if they were paper. While fone of the hunters kept clear of the enraged beast the other kept pumping lead into him from the Winchester until the water was covered with red foam, telling that the monster was badly hurt. Finally he appeared to give up the ghost, turned over on his back and floated upon the surface. They lassoed and towed him ashore, but the 'gator was not dead, and still had any quantity of fight in him, and so, when one of the sportsmen ventured too close the gator gave a lash with his tail, knocked the young fellow 'upside down and paralyzed his legs for the time being and went for him, grabbing his foot in his frightful jaws, and inflicting a- painful and per haps serious injury It was just two minutes before the jaws of the beast could be pried open, and it was an hour later before the last spark of life fled from the reptile. , Fasting Carried to Extremes. The people of Servia are forever fast ing. The most severe fast is that of Lentr which lasts seven whole weeks. Then, on the 30th of June, is the, fast of St. Peter, which lasts two weeks, and; is observed by some persons for four weeks. From the 1st to the 15th of August, the fast of St. Mary, and Christmas is preceded by a forty days' fast. Apart from these lengthy fasts every Friday and every Wednesday is held to be'a fast throughout the yearServia' is no mere in day. Fasting mlans of it abstinence real diet; change and privation. At Pirot this fasting has assumed such serious proportions as to constitute a grave medical problem and a national danger, for It affects seriously the health of the population, the strength and fighting capabilities of the soldiers. The medical men reck oned that, on the whole,, half the days In the year were fast days. This means that for some six months in the. year the population, of Pirot and neighborhood Is only fed bread, raw onions, and raw vegetables. No cooking1 is done; not a morsel of meat is allowed.
