C. nia a,iwe Toothpick, Hie Tenra and His Way off Getting; Caoaht. To say that the crocodile bag seen his best days is but feebly to express the rapidity with which he is lapsing Into the class of extinct animals. As a feature of modern Egypt be Is perhaps rather a curiosity than a plague, and tle traveler has to get far beyond the regions of tuo delta before he con be gin to hope for tbe chance of being in troduced to one. Crocodile stories are no longer told. In fact. It Is safer to trust to tbe sea serpent Nothing can make the crocodile attractive, and even the man with the camera is shy of treating him as a subjeet whether for personal or artistic reasons Is not quite clear. Possibly the crocodile resents being focused, as be formerly shrank from confrontation with a mirror, an ordeal which often led to his dying of chagrin, as was supposed, at the sight of - his own ugliness. Moreover, the experienced photographer Is wise In "taking no risks," remembering that the crocodile's tears are only a natural solvent which tbe .saurian applies to tbe tougher form of animal food. And this Is where the legend of the toothpick properly comes In. Herodo tus noticed the fact, but seems to have been misled as to tbe motive. He dis covered that tbe crocodile made friends with a particular bird, which be al lowed to enter bis mouth In order, as the writer supposed, to rid tbe reptile of the leeches which Infested bis Jaws. Pliny says nothing of these pests, bat considers the complaisance of tbe crocodile to be due to tbe satisfaction he felt In having bis teetb picked by the bird. "He. taketb so great delight In this ber scraping and scouring of his teeth and jaws." , Both authors speak of tbe bird as a wren; later nat uralists described It as being as large as a thrush, while It has been reserved for tbe present generation of travelers to Identify this useful friend of tbe crocodile as tbe spur winged plover. Of tbe fact of the alliance there Is not the least doubt. Tbe operation has been frequently witnessed by numer ous Independent observers, one of tbe latest of whom considers that tbe bird does actually perform tbe functions of a toothpick, "a process which tbe croc odile enjoys." With such corrobora tion tbe narration of Herodotus, sub ject to qualification, as It most be, Is at least to be taken seriously and no lon ger regarded as tbe visionary Idea of mere fabulist.. In the Egyptian hieroglyphics the crocodile Is represented by a single wavy line, so perfectly suggestive of the contour of the animal that it quite Impossible to escape from its meaning. It might stand as an excel lent contemporary illustration of tbe text of Herodotus, neither author nor artist overstepping tbe modesty o fea ture. This was reserved for later times. In which arose so many of the myths and extravagances which we are ready to Impute to the lack of prac tical knowledge by tbe classic writers. When Fuller lucubrated so learnedly of tbe crocodile, be doubtless felt that be was correcting tbe erroneous Idea of an earlier period, and the following example of bis erudition may serve to show bow be set about the task: "Tbe sovereign power of saffron Is plainly proved by tbe antipathy of the croco dile thereto, for tbe crocodile's tears are never true, save when be Is forced where saffron growetb, whence be bath tbe name of saffron fearer, knowing himself to be all poison and It all anti dote." As to legend of tbe crocodile's tears. It can only be regarded as a myth grafted upon some of tbe rep tile's observed habits. Probably be cause they could offer less resistance to his attacks, women and cmiaren were especially liable to them, tbe of- floe of tbe former as water carriers hrinrln them often to the NUe and the children tutu-ally finding a play- emufli! on Its shores.

I-1'I I 1 I I 1 11 I III M H II m I It was In tbe latter part of tbe last century and lacked 10 minutes of 5 by the white and gold clock 00 tbe man tel shelf In one of tbe Quest salons of the Faubourg St. Germain, wben tbe portieres were drawn aside and. 11 dainty maiden In flowered chintz gown, draped over a gay petticoat, stepped across tbe threshold. "Pierre! PlerreP' she called, glanc ing at tbe clock, and a good looking young servant In livery Joined ber. "I know what you are going to say Mile. Jeanette, but It Is early yet." "Five by the clock, and Mine, la Mar quise may be borne at any moment. You should have lighted tbe Ore soon er, Pierre." "It will be ready In a moment now," be answered good naturedly and, going to the richly carved wood box In tbe corner near tbe fireplace, took out some pine cones and kindled tbcm under tbe logs already laid on tbe andirons, Jeanette watching him tbe while. In tbe shadows of tbe autumn evening tbe flames lit up ber trim Ultle figure ss they also revealed her pouting lips. Pierre, still kneeling on the hearth. looked up Into his companion's face with a tender expression, but she took no notice of him. Always dissatisfied, Jeanette. What Is It you want now?" Nothing from you," she answered rudely. Pierre sighed. He rose to bis feet. dusted bis knees, gave a last look at tbe fire and then, leaning town r J Jeanette, said slowly, "Wby are you so unreasonable these days?" You always have declared that no woman Is reasonable." "But you are more unreasonable than most women. You will not even listen to a compliment nor accept tbe small est gift." "Not from you," Jeanette replied, with a toss of tbe bead. "You might do worse, my dear. Some grand gentleman must bare turned your bead with bis airs, sod I, being only a simple fellow, loving you honor ably, cannot suit tbe fine tastes of Ibe little coquette." "I am not a coquette." "When I offer you my hand aud heart, what more do you want?" Tbe girl hesitated. "I am yonug and"- "And pretty," pot In Pierre. "And pretty," echoed Jeanette, "and I want to see life." . "See life with me," urged ber lover. "Can yon not leave me alone? I want no offers from yon." "You are not only a coquette, but cruel." "And yon are not only cruel, but stupid," retorted Jeanette, turning away and bursting Into tears. Pierre stood gaslng at ber, a picture of dismay. He did not approach tbe drL fearing to offend ber still more. His hjonest face flushed as be said tim idly: "My dear, only ten me now 1 can please yon. You do not know bow unhappy your unklndncss makes me. "What does It matter?" began Jean ette, with a petnlant sump of ber foot, wben tbe rustle of a silk dress was beard and a taU, dignified woman en tered tbe salon. "Take mr cloak.
