If a. young rnan can
not save money before
be is married the prob
abilities are that he can
not do so afterwards.
Young m e n and
women should learn to
strike the happy me
dium between the econ
omy that causes a person to deny himself of all pleasure and the extrava
gance that causes him to neglect to save. There are young men who are
spending the money of their fathers, but are not cultivating habits of
economy. After they are married they will save nothing for the future
and when they are dead their wives and children will become objects of
public charity.
Such extravagance is dishonest. It is dishonest for a man to neglect
to pm>ide for the members of his family so they will not be compelled
to depend on charity after he is dead.
1 read in the newspapers a few days ago of the daughter of a
deceased naval officer who committed suicide because she did not have
the money to maintain the social position to which she had become accus
tomed. The real responsibility in this case rests with the father, who,
while training his daughter in certain social customs, neglected to pro
vide the money by which she could maintain her place in society after he
was gone.

CAPTURING CROCODILES.
Exciting Experiences of a Hunter of
the Saurians in African
Swamps.
A hunter in Africa tells some
stories about crocodiles. He says:
“One afternoon I went out to hunt
lechwe (a kind of antelope), which
were plentiful in the swamps. I
wounded one splendid bull and
gave chase, accompanied by two
boys. We followed it across on.*
or two channels, and finally tin*
boy who was leading caught it up
in an arm of the stream about two
feet deep. As he was holding on
to the buck a crocodile—attract
ed, no doubt, by the blood which
flowed from the wounded animal
—shot up and seized the boy bv
the leg below the knee. He hung
on to the other boy, who had come
up, and I arrived to the accompani
ment of yells. Fortunately the
crocodile was only a small one and
we managed to get the boy from
him. The lechwe meantime made
his escape, and I sent back to camp
for men to carry in the wounded
native. His leg was badly lacer
ated, but with careful treatment
he recovered soon.”
<>f another crocodile, which
measured 17 feet in length and
which (his same hunter shot, he
writes: “On cutting him open he
was found to contain the remains
of an Mpala ram (with horns in
tact), which he had probably
caught while it was drinking. On
one occasion I cut up a crocodile
which contained no less than 41)
bangles of ivory and copper, show
ing that he had swallowed one or
more natives, so I always get the
boys to cut up any we shoot. They
are loathsome reptiles, and I nev
er consider a shot at them wasted.
Many a native while drawing wa
ter after dark is caught by the
arm and dragged into the river. A
tine old hunting dog which
had served me two years was
caught by a crocodile right un
der my nose one day in a small
stream, where he had gone to
drink after running down a
wounded puku.”
This hunter also writes: “Verv
good sport is had by fishing for
crocodiles in the following wav:
A piece of wood, about two inches
thick and 12 inches long, is sharp
ened at both ends and attached bv
the middle to a stout line. To the
other end of the line is fixed a float.
A lump of meat is, or the entrails
of a buck are, tied on the sharp
ened stick, and the whole thing
thrown into the river and allowed
to float down with the current.
The crocodile swallows the bait
and away goes the float along the
surface. Then a rush out with a
canoe and a pull on the line fixes
the pointed piece of wood in his
gullet. It is necessary to shoot or
spear him as he struggles on the
surface, as lie is much too heavy
and strong to land like a fish.”

A train of guncotton reaching

| POINTS ABOUT STUTTERING.
Seldom Begins in Adult Life and Boys
Are More Often Affected
Than Girls.
Stuttering is defined in medical
books as “a spasmodic affection of
the muscles concerned in articula
tion, occasioned by erroneous
nervous control, leading to a sud
den check in the utterance of
words or to a rapid repetition of
j tbe literal sound in connection
I with which the difficulty arises.”
This, says Youth’s Companion,
is an example of a waste of good
words in defining what we already
know without definition. What
the stutterer wants to know is not
what he is doing, but how he can
stop doing it.
Muttering almost always dates
from childhood, being often first
noticed after some serious illness,
such as scarlet fever or measles.
It seldom begins in adult life, al
though a grown man who used to
j stutter as a child and has recov
ered, may suffer a relapse when
! run down in health or worried in
business. It is a curious fact that
girls stutter much more rarely
than boys, but why this is so has
never been satisfactorily ex
plained. Those who have attempt
ed to account for it usually drag in
some ungallant allusion to the
flexibility of a woman’s tongue.
What causes a boy to stutter is
a mystery. The sufferers are usu
ally of a nervous disposition, and
are often diffident and self-con
scious—but it is hard to say
whether the self consciousness is
a cause or a result of the defect.
Unconscious imitation of a stut
tering playmate may be a cause.
Sometimes adenoid growths in the
pharnyx or a malformation of the
roof of the mouth are contribu
tory causes, and correction of the
defect may result in a cure. Such
an instance was recently brought
to notice bv a correspondent, a
stuttering boy who had lost tin*
the habit after a straightening of
the teeth had widened the cavity
of the mouth. The usual treat
ment consists in properly con
ducted reading, speaking and
breathing exercises, which must
be modified to suit the individual
case. Every stuttering school
boy has been told that the great
est orator of Greece cured himself
by speaking with a mouth full of
pebbles. If Demosthenes suc
ceeded in that way, his success
was due to his painstaking rather
than to the pebbles.

“Dear Mrs. Pinkham :—I cannot

the ills peculiar to the sex, extreme
lassitude and that all gone feeling. I
would rise from my bed in the morning
feeling more tired than when I went to
bed, but before I used two bottles of
Lydia K. Pinkliam’s Vegetable
Compound, I began to feel the buoy
ancy of my younger days returning,
became regular, could do more work
and not feel tired than I had ever been
able to do before, so I continued to use
it until I was restored to perfect health.
It is indeed a boon to sick women and
I heartily recommend it Yours very
truly, Mrs. Rosa Adams, 819 12th St,
