“You see that item in one of the pa

capturing tbe city editor by the but

door-way. “You know tbe paper said
it was a fashionable thing to do.”

What of it?" asked the city editor.
“I tried it,” said the Gravesend
man. “A friend of mine brought mo
one from New Orleans, and I’m tam
ing that alligator for tbe children to
play with.”
“How does the experiment come
along ?” asked the city editor.
“I don’t know abont the experiment
—tbe alligator is thriving. He was
six weeks old when I got bim two
months ago, and he is seven years old
now. People in oar parts say be’s all
tbe alligator I’ll ever need.”
“What does he do ?"
“Well, it’s hero. When he came he
was a sportive little onss and jnst
waddled around friendly. He was
chiefly month, and we used to feed
him for the fan of seeing him eat—
Now wo skin around when we see him
coming for the fun of seeing him go
hungry.”
“Is he dangerous?” asked the city
editor.
“I haven’t been close enough to see.
He eat up my dog, and when I left
this morning he was in the sty argu
ing the question of pork ns a diet with
a pig. My wife thinks if he has any
luck he will find the cow we lost.”
“Better get rid of him, hadn’t you ?”
suggested the city editor.
“I don’t know,” said tho Gravesend
man. “Wo’vo stored so much away
in him now it seems like giving up
most of our property, and my eldest
girl says she can’t hear of having her
leg go out among strangers.”
“Did ho bito her leg off?” demand
ed the horrified city editor.

baby’s grave so wo try and keep tbo
alligator along. My wife insists on
keeping bim because she thinks sho
sawn couple of peddlers go in oue
day, packs and all, and sho’s got an
idea tbe packs may come to the front
again if we hold on. Besides, sho saw
that item about tamo alligators being
fashionable, and sbo goes a good deal
on style.”
“But do you call that alligator
tame ?”
“Certainly. He comes right into
the bouse, same’s any of us, and keeps
himself. He’s got that heel,” and tbe
Gravesend man pointed to a mutilated
foot. “There’s my son’s wife, too.—
She’s part alligator now. He eat her
np a week ago and the boy hasn’t got
over his arm yet. Tho alligator got
tho arm too.”
“Great Scott I” ejacnlated the city
editor.
‘■Oh, yes, its lively down here.—
When be puts himself up be’s busi
ness. He’s the lightninest alligator
for a tame ono yon ever saw. When
we first got him we used him for a
tuck hammer, and drew nails with

ily, except paying the rent. When
there is any mysterious disappearance
around Gravesend the eoroDor comes
and views the alligator—that ends it.
When tbe baby was snatched -they
held the inquest in a tree. Tbe jnry
was all on one limb, and tbe alligator
on the ground looking np. Bimeby
tbe limb broke, and tbe jnry disap
peared in a row, jast as they sat. Wo
didn’t wait for any verdict. Tho cor
oner gave me a permit, and after the
funeral we shied an empty coffin at
the alligator. Then tbe minister said
dust to dust., mid we all dusted. Do
you remember whether that item said
what a real tame alligator ought to be
fed on ?”
“Don’t recollect seeing it at all.—
Aren’t you afraid he’ll eat np some of
yonr family ?” ’
“Think he’s liable to ?” asked the
Gravesend man with a curious ex
pression of visage.
“He might. Suppose he should get
your wife ?”
“Ah 1” said the Gravesend man, “he
might get her, mightent he ? You
think I’d better keep bim them ?” and
the Gravesend man leaned against the
door and gave himself np to reflec
tion. “So he might—so he might,”
the city editor heard him say as he
drew away and left him there. “That
beautiful young tame alligator may
get her yet,” and the gloom of night
fall enveloped the frame dilating with
a new hope.
Tbe Tears oj Animal*.
The monkey tribe is grotesquely
like man in the display of his joy and
sorrow. Many of them actually smile
when amused. The broad grin which is
associated usually with a sense of fun,
is developed in the onrang-outnng,
and was observed by Livingston in
the soko. The laughter of certain
apes is analogous to man’s own, in
thnt it is noisy and hilarious. So close
indeed is the resemblance that tbe
grave Turks compare laughing West
ern Europeans to apes. Tbo chim
panzee, if amused, chnckles. Living
stone describes tbe soko as giggling,
and Darwin observes that tittering
occurs among monkeys when they are
pleasod. A sonso of fun is also exhib
ited by practical jokes and sports or

Charley Sbaw, of tbe Detroit opera

bronze in bis face and asked:
“Does any one perform here ?”
“Ob, yes."
“This afternoou ?”
“No—to-night.”
“How much to see ’em ?”
“Well, I can give yon a seat for a
half dollar and you can hold yonr girl
on your lap.”
“Wouldn’t anybody laugh ?”
“Not much! We don’t allow any
laughing in this bonse.”
“Well, maybe we’ll come. Has this
theatre ever burned up?”
“Never.”
“Any danger of fire on the stage ?”
“Not a bit.”
“Any pickpockots around ?”
“None.”
“Does anybody peddle lemonade?’’
“No.”
“Any prize packages given out?”
“No.”
“Take a half dollar with a hole in

“Yes.”

All of these instances clearly prove
that the monkey tribe are capable of
experiencing both joy and sorrow.
Do you know it is a splendid thing
to think that tho woman yon really
love will never grow old to you ?—
Through tbe wrinkles of time, through
the mask of years, if you really love
her, you will always see the face yon
loved and won. And a woman who
really loves a man, does not see that
he grows old—be is not decrepit to
her; he does not trembe; he is not
old. Sbe sees the same gallant gen
tleman who won her heart and hnnd.
We like to think that love is eternal.

she dwells. I tremble and weep some
times when I forebode evils and suf-
ferings that may come to the rest; bat
that one is safe from all of them.—
How precious tho thought when the
cold winds blow, and the storms howl
about our honsos, that these darling
ones can never know suffering or fear

The Signal Service Bnreau has in
press a monster, by Sergeant Finley,
containing a review of the observa
tions of six hundred tornadoes, with
generalizations from the recorded
facts, and suggestions as to the meth
ods which onght to be followed in the
investigations of such storms.
The 8torn studies have occurred
daring the past 87 years in all parts
of the country. For these it would
appear that tornadoes occur most fre
quently in summer, and in tbe month
of June. They have occurred, how
ever, more frequently in April than
in Jnly, and in May and September
tbun in August. Kansas is the State
that Las been most afflicted, and .thnt
notwithstanding the fact that the pe
riod daring which tornadoes have
visited it has been comparatively
short. The State bus bad 62 torna
does from 1869 to 1881; Illinois has
bad 64 from 1854 to 188Lt Missouri
has had 44 from 1814 to%181; New
York has bad 35 from 1831 to 1881;
Georgia 33 from 1804 to 1881; Iowa
31 from 1854 to 1881; Ohio 28 from
1823 to 1881, and Indiana 27 from
1852 to 1880. Tbe States and Terri
tories that have bad only one each
from 1794 to 1881 are: Colorado, Cal
ifornia, Indian Territory, Nevada,
New Mexico, Moutnnn, Rhode Island
West Virginia and Wyoming. Tbe
storms occur most frequently from
five to six in the afternoon, nit bough
there is no hour of the day that 1ms
been entirely free from them.
The average width of destruction is
1,085 feet, and tbe storm cloud runs
with a velocity of from twelve to sixty
miles. Tho wind within tbe vortex
sometimes attains a velocity of 800
miles an hour, tbo average velocity be
ing 392 miles.
Among the most valuable sugges
tions of the paper are tkoso with ref-
orenco to the peculiarity of the move
ments of tornado clouds, containing
rules for nrriving at their viol •:.(•••.

Captain Horner, of tbe German
ship Stella, from Bremen to Balti

on tbe morning of Mnrch 18, in lati

below tho impressiou that tbe ship
had strnok a rock. The weather was
dear and the sea smooth and calm.—
Neither tbe chief mate, who was on
the quarter-deck at the time, nor the
lookout, could account for the strange
occnrrrenee. ' The captain ordered
the benving of the lead, but found no
bottom at 100 fathoms. The pomps
were sonnded and the ship fonnd to
be tight. Tho shock lasted only half
a minute, after which the ship went
on as before. Capt. Horner himself
went aloft, but could discover no
signs of any obstructions.
