the alligator market.
STRANGE SIGHTS IN A SOUTHERN
SAURIAN MERCHANT'S STORE.
How the Hideous Reptiles Are
Caught and Cared For—A 180.
Years-Old Alligator.
“How do you sell the best, madatne?”
nsked the inquisitive reporter of a quiet
looking woman who was the one peace
ful object in the screaming, noisy world
about her.
“Well, I hardly know how to answer
that question,” she responded, her voice
pitched high enough to penetrate the
chirping squeaking, cawing and crowing
of the congregation of feathered folk
fluttering about. “You see, they come
at most any price, and when I tell you
they come all the way from fifty cents to
S2OO apiece, you can understand how
prices vary.”
As is well known, sugar, oranges and
alligators form three staples in Louisiana
exports and internal revenue, and it was
to discover the exact condition of the
crocodile market and whether the
season’s catch had been good that a visit
was paid by a reporter to the big tanks on
Chartres street.
Alligators are brought into town in
every stage, from an embryo state in the
egg to great, angry monsters a dozen feet
long, tipping the scales hundreds of
pounds. Men hunt their hideous game
after dark, stalking the swamps, drag
ging lagoons and wading through low,
oozy marshes, where vast numbers of al
ligators abide. Several methods of capt
uring them are resorted to. Those
caught with hooks are only fit for im
mediate killing,as they sicken and die in
short order. The big ones are lassoed
and smaller fry snared in a heavy seine
made for this purpose. The hunter
realizes he is after dangerous game with
lots of vicious habits, and so, besides
blinding their stupid eyes by a lamp worn
in his cap, he is prepared to send a sooth
ing bullet whenever necessary.
After bringing in his find of eggs, the
crocodile farmer heaps them in boxes and
simply depends on time to do its perfect
work. In the course of weeks the in
fant gnaws and claws at the hard shell
until he finally squirms his way into the
world.
Passing through the big bird store the
alligator region is reached. It isa’prettv,
garden-like place, with tender,lacy vines
trained in delicate festoons up the lattice
against the dark brick wall, threat red
pots hold rich foliage plants that lend a
tropical air to the spot, fitting the in
habitants of the long cemented tanks.
These troughs are built six in a row, the
occupants being carefully graded accord
ing to size. Twice a week the water
must be changed for the salubrity of the
atmosphere. Twice a week refreshments
are handed round, beef lights as a rule,
a delicacy for which alligators have a very
pronounced penchant. The half-grown
variety cat from five to six at a meal,dis
tending their uncomely, shapeless
stomachs until the receptacles refuse to
hold another particle. They feed only
at intervals, but have voracious appetites
then.
They arc very ugly creatures, with
wretched dispositions,-as the reporter had
a fair opportunity of discovering. Hang
ing over the side of the tank in playful,
almost intimate relations with the beast,
his sheltering umbrella gave a tip too far
and touched the extreme point of the
thing’s snout. It was enough; with a
terrifying bellow and blowing off of
steam the infuriated being rose two
inches out of water and sent his ob
server exactly three feet in the air. It
was a severe shock and has generated re
spect, if not admiration, for the alliga
tor’s sensitiveness. Lying in the sun
shine,every grizzly feature is accentuated.
Their great shovel heads float oif the wa
ter with stupid, evil eyes that blink like
yellow excrescences on a mud-colored
surface. A tiny, minute slit in the snout
admits enough air to enable them to
make a sound frightful enough to scare
the stoutest-hearted.
The keeper of the tanks said hundreds
were sold yearly to traveling showmen,
numbers being sent to Europe as curiosi
ties, besides many that were bought by
Northern visitors. Saloon owners buy
them constantly to keep on their coun
ters as an attraction to possess, Chicago
and St. Louis being noticeable among
the number. An artist here in town set
them up with all sorts of comical de
vices. He stulls them with cotton,
and fashions preachers, lawyers, gam
blers, organ-grinders, cotton' handlers
and duellists out of the ridiculous little
figures.
The saurian merchant has a perfect treas
ure that he keeps in close quarters and
guards as the fairest jewel of his entire
collection of beauties. It is a huge, evil
smelling, sluggish reptile, measuring
twelve feet, whose age is calculated at
one hundred and fifty years. He lies
sprawled out on the floor of his trough,
in a state of torpid stupidity. The crea
ture looks bored to death and with
enough malignity in his depraved yellow
eyes to devour every visitor who studies
his handsome proportions.—JVew (Means

Hit Lions on the Nose.
has been said that the hurts suffered
in pugilism are particularly severe, and
that few pains equal the pain resulting
from a blow of the fist squarely ami
forcibly delivered upon the nose. An
incident which goes to support, this alle
gation, is reported from Paris. A lion
tamer, in one of the Boulevard shows,
was set upon by a powerful and irritable
old lion, whose cage he had entered, ac
cording to habit, in the course of an en
tertainment. The beast made his attack
without warning or particular cause, and
in an instant the man was upon his back,
between the lions paws. The spectators
screamed, thinking it was the end of the
lion tamer, but, like a flash, he was upon
his feet, and striking out with his right,
in accurate pugilistic style, landed his
fist upon the lion's no-e, with a spat that
was heard all over the place. The lion
wheezed and sneezed and backed away,
shaking his head and shutting his eyes
as if dazed, while the man stepped
quickly, but with dignity, out of the
cage. The blow was a good one, and if
it had fallen upon a man would, undoubt
edly have “knocked him out.” Evi
dently, it made the lion tingle from the
spot where it was delivered to the tip of
his drooping and spiritless tail. The
Epoch.
Giuff But Generoti*.
A prettier ami more pathetic story has
seldom been told than one published In
the Dai'g Te'tgruph. A hospital for
sick children in the East End of London
should, at least', one would think, be as
good a building, as well fitted for its
purposes, ns a stable hi the West Ettd.
Yet the work Os which this story tells
was carried on in “a tumbledown old
wharf warehouse,” such a place as the
readers of Dickens can easily picture to
themselves. It might have formed part
of the business premises of the famous
Mr. Quilp; and, for certain, none of the
gay procession thronging Hyde Park
would have suffered one of their sleek
hotses to abide in it a single night.
But it had to do for the sick children
simply because there was no money to
build a better place. And then one day
up the rickety stairs, holding on by the
rope that served for banister, came a
shabby, gruff old man, asking in a tone
that seemed to threaten an actioh for
damages, if this was a children's hospital
and if they didn’t want a proper “ hos
pital.” '1 he secretary with faint hopes
of a guinea, answered these questions,
and received —a check for £I,OOO. They
went o er the place; and when this un
expected nngel of blessing had seen the
children, he came back, asked again for
pen an ink, and wrote a second thous
and. Then, with his coat buttoned, he
was about to go; but one story after
another of healing and of child heroism
flowed from the secretary’s lips, until,
with a gruff “ Ha 1” the coat was thrown
back once more, the magic book pro
duced. and a third thousand lay beside
the others. “ 1 found my way up, and I
can find my way down. Hood day.” The
man of shabby coat and gruff voi c was
gone, but the secretary had the new
building iu his hand. -Uhrieti ‘n leader.
