to spend good deal on her toilet ?" "No !;
but she would like to be able to give a great
deal in charity" "She's a good woman"
said the merchant heartily; 'its to be hoped
that your son-in- laws business will improve.
Good bye, sir, come to see us, and bring
your daughter we shall be happy to make
her acquaintance" The train arrived at the
station at that moment and the traveller
whose son-in laws business was only "pretty
good" was Immediately surrounded by grand
personages in uniform. After having polite

How CHAMELEoNs CATCH FLIEs.-The
chameleon lives largely upon flies, and at first
sight it would seem impossible that so appRr-
emily torpid and sluggish an animal should be
able to reach and seize creatures not only ac
tive in their movements, but possessing the
power of flight. At this warm season, when
the ohameleon's appetite is keen, it may often
be observed when fly has been introduced
into its cage to move about with comparative
celebrity, attentively watching the hy's move
ments, now with one and now with the other
eye. 1t sooner or later happens that the fly
settles for few seconds somewhere within
half foot's distance of the chameleon's head
Then the ohameleon's mouth may be Observ-
ed to open and the apex of the tongue to pro-
trude. In an instant it has shut again aud
the fly has disappeared. Iu fact, the chameleon
has spit out, as it were, its enormously exten-
sible tongue upon the insect, secured it by
the viscid secretion with which the tongue is
coated, and again withdrawn that organ to-
gether with the prey, but the whole has been
effected with such amazing rapidity that the
observers eye cannot follow the movements
of the reptiles tongue. 1t is projected and
withdrawn without the slightest noise, but in
the twinkling of an eye.-Nature.

For the information of those away from

are running here, we may state that the last
year under the license system there were 279
cases in the police court for drunkenness.
From the first of January last, at which time
the saloons closed here, and since which none
have been opened, up to September 1st,
there were only three arrests for drunkenness,

all the time, says the first six months of this

prayers, little son of Mr.. Sherman's, refus-

President GARFIELD was one Of the few
men in public affairs whose heart was free
from the universal passion for riches. Sue
cess in life, or at least in fame, is due to the
fact that he did not hunt the dollar in prefer
ence to better things. His books, the con.
cern of his country, the record of great men
preceding him. the leadership in debate, con-
sumed his rising years. Working from early
morning till late at night for his constituency,
in making laws and keeping his mind supe-
rior to the common run of minds around him,
no wonder that he would listen without sus-
picion to strong, Mammon-loving man like
Oakes Ames, who said, Garfield, want to
do something for you," or to lawyer from
his own region, who said, GARFIELD, have
got you good fee to make an argument" &"

The Past and Present of the
Sewing Machine Trade.
THE PAST.

Prior to the year 1877, few Of the old companies
py combining their patents, managed TO secure an
elusive and onerous monopoly of the Sewing Machine
business. SO close was this monopoly that they were
aoie to extort from the public the most extrayaqaut
prices during long series Of years. and also to de-
priVe the country for generation of the benefit Of
all the thought and experiments that were being ex.
pended in Efforts to improve this most valuable and
necessary article of household use. BY Continuing
year after year the manufacture Of the old ma.
chln. .s, and strangling the improvements which the
records Of the Patent Office show were being
orbitant prices.
In the year 1877 this combination was broken up by
the expiration OF the patents although strenuous ef
ors mad been put forth to secure their extension
the continuance OF the monopoly. This, however,
tailed, and the old companies brought face 10
lace in composition with the progressive ideas they
mad so long labored to stihe. How did they meet
TINS Some OF them by endeavorng to improve the eir
machines Others by an effort to make the business
unprohtable by reduction OF over 60 per cent in
prices, thinking to use the aecumulations they had
wrung from the people by offering to sell for $50 a
worth $780,
