"After this, my host undertook to put an eud to ber, and having Riven aer several bard squeezes about the nd tied ber feet together, hung ! enest a her up by the neck in a noose, which be drew as tight as be possibly could.

The Nile monitor or varan (Varanus Kllotlous), of which the newcomer at the Zoo is a specimen, is, perhaps, the largest member of the family, and has been known to attain a length of over alx feet. In structural character It Is somewhat distinct from other lizards, approaching In several respects its en my. the crocodile the largest of ex isting reptiles. It Is on the eggs ot crocodiles, or the young crocodiles themselves, that it chiefly feeds, a hab it which is said to explain the fact that It appears on the monuments of the ancient Egyptians. It is still com mon to the Nile, though it baa also been found In the rivers of South Af rica, as well as in Senegal aud near Sierra Leone.

' ' A Grand Army post has just been formed in Indiana whose membership, with one exception, is made up of Rom an Catholic priests and brothers of the Order ot the Holy Cross. This unique addition to the Grand Army is located t JJoUe Dame, the seat ot Notre Dame University. The formation of the post was suggested by the presence In the university of ao many Instructor who fcugbt in the war or were chaplains. A brother who fought all through the war in the Irish brigade was re;enJy transferred to Notre Dame from an vnlversity, and a list of eligibles was -a member of the Grand Army and wanted to remain one.

Tho court of Tynwald, presided over by the lieutenant governor, is conijioscd of tho council, which embraces tho bishop, attorney general, two judges, the clerk of the rolls, wutor bailiT and tho vicar general. This council and tho house of keys are tho active government of tho great Isle of Man. There is ono feature of Bcial inter est in reference to tho laws, and that is that all laws p:iHsod by tho house ot keys are sent for tho royul assent, and when that lias been hoeured then tho law must ba formally read in tho English, and Manx languages on Tynwald hill in tho open air, where tho council and the keys united form a Tynwald court, before they become laws. This form of reading the law at Tynwald is the oldest stylo on record; was old In 1417 and has been continued ever since. The 6th day of July In ouch year is the day of public proclamation of the laws passed by tho house of keys. Tho coat of arms of this islo is threo legs of a man in a circle. The motto, translated, reads: "Whithersoever thrown, I shall stand. Tho Manxmen apparently rather enjoy tho tliroo legged crest, for everywhere you turn your face, whether at a steumloat, a railroad, a couch, a flag or on the win dows of the stores, there you see tho threo legs. 1 had road of the Manx cats without tails and thought it a joke; but, sura enough, tho cuts here are without tails and I saw several without that grace ful member.

Philip Knopf, a mounted policeman altaclMMl to tho High Bridge sUtion, went to his home, in Anderson avenue, near High Bridge road at n.n the other day, bays tho New York Record er. It was his "short day off," and after his lunch ho went to his room to lio down for ho had been on duty since midnight, and felt tired. Knopf's family life was ideal. His w ife and live littlu children idolized him. Mar gery, hi two-year-old daughter, a sweet-faced child with big brow n eyes and yellow hair, wus deeply attached to her father, and whenever ho was at homo bhe followed him aUiut from room to room, and if he went up stairs tihe climbed up after him in case ho did not carry her. Knopfs police record was most excellent. When Knopf retired to his room lit tle Margery, as usual, pattered after him. "Now stay downstairs, little one, while I go up and sleep for uwhilo, and then papa will come down to see his Margery," said the policeman to the littlu girl. Margery wrinkled up her pretty little forehead into a frown, and instead of olieyinLf she spent tho next five minutes'in climbing upstairs. Sho pushed ojwn the door of her father's room and saw him sleeping on tho lied. Sho tiptoed quietly n, for she didnt wan't to waken him. Knopf had taken oil his coat and had placed his revolver on the bureau. Margery was uttracted by tho shining metal, and toddled to tho bureau to inspect the weapon more closely. She picked it up and was examining it when the father awoke. Ho started with fright and all symptoms of sleepiness loft him, for the little girl had the pistol pointed directly at her breast and was finger ing the trigger. Every chamber of tho revolver a big 88-caliber affair was loaded. Knopf didn't dare to cry out. He feared to startle the child, so that she might clutch the trigger with sufficient strength to discharge the piptol. All his hope was centered in tho fact that perhaps her tiny fingers would not be strong enough to move the trigger. As nonchalantly as he could, he arose quickly, and then mode a leap for tho pistol. He grabbed tho barrel away from the child's breast, but in doing so pointed it directly at his own body. Unfortunately the child's fin gers were wedged in around the trigger. In trying to unclasp the child's hand, tho child Involuntarily clutched the trigger tighter under the pressure of the father's fingers on her arm. There was a report and Knopf fell to the floor, the little girl still keep ing tight hold of the pistol, from the barrel of which white smoke curled. "Oh. Margery, dour little Mai-gory, you have shot papa!" exclaimed the policeman, clutching his hand to his left side, from which blood was oozing and staining his vest and the floor. Startled by the shot, Mrs. Knopf ran upstairs. Sho stood transfixed at the door, her eyes wide with terror. The little girl waved the still smoking pistol at hor and lisped: "Papa's pistol. Papa sick!" "Minnie, I'm shot. I tried to get my pbtol away from Mario," ex plained tho wounded man. Hulf an hour later he was dead. lie Wasn't Betting. Tho two friends were talking at the club about a certain young woman one of them was paying attention to, and whom the other thought his friend was very anxious to marry. He also thought the suitor was altogether too diffident, and he had been trying to brace him up. 1 11 bet you $103 for a wedding present," ho said, "that you can get her by asking for her." "Come off," objected the other, "I don't get caught on any cinches like that." 'That's no cinch unless it is for you." "I guess yes, persisted the other, because if she refuses me it will cost me f iuu, ana u sne aoesnt noDoay knows what it will cost me. Ain't it a cinch?" and he got up and walked the floor.
