are invariably used, if one sheet of pa
per will not contain all that is to be

to fold than is a half sheet of paper.
Ii a few last words are necessary to

Boston Lawyers.

till IL, working by the light of the,
tallow candles, one Of which was stuck
conspicuously in his window ovsrlo9l;ng

to any belated clients that lie was still
at his post. While working late on,
evening he was surprised by tie hurri d
entrance of one of the most successful
and respected merchants of the town,
VINO seemed very nervous aA.i

That 1 must wait my chance till to-n,nr-

moment - had all the old merchants
law business, and this fact soon brought
HIM into prominence and fortune. Or
they may have been struck with the
happy experience of another old Boston
lawyer (who is said to have entered more
cases for trial than any one before or
since his time), who invariably arrived
at his office at half-past 7 in the morning.
and who on one occasion was called
upon at that hour by the late A. IT.
Stewart, of New York, who told him
that he he'd come to Boston to transact
some law business, ana had brought an
introduction to three Boston LAWYERS

If Mr.. - would take it in hand. This
was done, and Mr.. Stewart remained

But such windfalls are rare. and are
certainly the exception. The writer was
conversing on this subject not long ago
with successful and very observant
member of the profession, and the fol.
lowing questions were asked and an
swered:
Chow many lawyers in the city of
Boston make $40, 900 year from their
practice?"
"You can count them on the fingers
of one hand"
"And how many make 100000"
"Not dozen"
How many who make as much as
$4,000"
perhaps quarter of the active bar"
show much do the others make?"
"A good many pick up from 81, 900 to
81, 600, and many work at other things
to help support them. Some live from
hand to mouth, and some again nearly
starve."
"What becomes of all the young law
yers who get admitted every month ?"
ga few who have fathers or relatives
already prominent in the profession 20
i'll with them, and find enough to do. A
good many by slow degrees build up a
fair practice for themselves. Some keep

and then drift into some other occupa-
ton. Some go West, and some 60 to

As Sensible as Most Dues.

Sheep's-head, although hardly a fiat
terlng epithet Or term of endearment. is
not regarded between man and man in
this country as an insult of SO deep a
dye that the stain inflicted upon the
honor of e gentleman to whom this
compound noun may happen to be adj
dressed can only be washed out in blood.
That such, however, is the view taken
OF It's German equivalent, Schafskopf,"
Ill the Fatherland, is conclusively
demonstrated in the following lament :
able occurrence Ia the ancient city of
ohlel4burg, one Heir jansen, an elderly
barrister, called upon 81 acquaintance,
the upper story of whose dwelling was
occupied by an infantry Lieutenant
named Fischer, the proprietor Of hand
some pointer, upon which he had sport
ively bestowed the name of Shafskopf.
The dog was lying stretched ON the door
step as Jansen came up to the door, and
at that very moment the Lieutenant,
tilrusting his head out of his second
story window, shouted at the top OF his
voice: ''Sheep's-head, come up, will
you?" Jansen took the summons to
himself, and, instead of entering the
house, waited by the door until Fischer
made his appearance, when, exclaining:
"Sheep's-Eead yourself" he lent The
Lieutenant a hearty box on the ear.
Fischer, who was in mutt, retorted with
a walking stick, and tie result Of this
misunderstanding was a hostile meet
ing. Jansen fired first, inHicting slight
flesh wound upon his adversary, where
upon Fischer, in no way ruffied by his
hurt, stretched the too-hasty advocate
dead upon the ground with bullet
through his heart-London telegram.

Anxious to Help.

Senator Vance, of North Carolina,
frequently illustrates his speeches with
anecdotes, OF rather parallels, which he
relates in a manner that seldom fails to
bring down the house, no matter how
much the majority may disagree with
him politically. Speaking one day
against bill which he considered
"penny wise but pound foolish" he
said it reminded him of kind old man
who lives at the top of a hill in North
Carolina. One day WAGNER came by
and unfortunately got his team ''stalled"
at the foot of the hill. To the old mans
house he went, asking the loan of pair
OF mules and a "fifth chain to help
him up the hill. Said the.kind old man !:
MY friend, have not got pair OF
mules or fifth chain to save your life.
But am always anxious to help man

The Chameleon.

Among the tree lizards, or those which
rarely crawl on the ground and never
enter the water, the chameleon is the
most noticeable. This singular reptile
has long been famous for its power Of
changing its color, property, however,
which has been greatly Exaggerated. Al
though al lizards are torpid, some OF
them are quite capable of great activity
at certain seasons, but the chameleon is
sluggish IN the extreme, being the very
siotii among reptiles.
When it moves along the branch on
which it clinging the reptile first raises
one foot very slowly indeed, and will
sometimes remain with its foot in air
for a considerable time, as if it had gone
TO sleep il the interim. 1t then puts the
foot slowly forward, and takes good
grasp of the branch. Having satisfied
itself that it is firmly secured it leisureIy
unwinds its tail, which has been tightly
twisted around the branch, shifts it a
little forward, coils it around again, and
then rests for while. With the same
slow precaution each foot is lifted for
ward and advanced, the movement be-
ing only little faster than the hour
hand OF a watch.
The cha,neieon's food consists of IN
sects, mostly of flies, and, like many
other reptiles, it is able to go for moaths
without food, fact which gives rise to
the belief that the chameleon lived on
the air. To Judge by e1ternals, there
never was an animal less lifted than the
chameleon for capturing anything as
active rs fly. and yet we shall see that
the lizard is well equipped for this pur-
pose. The tongue is the instrument by
which the fly is captured, being first de-
liberately aimed, like billiard player
aiming a stroke with his cue, and then
darted out with singular velocity. This
member is very muscular and IS fur
nished at the tip with kind OF viscid
secretion which causes the hY to adhere
TO it. Its mouth is well furnished with
teeth, which are set firmly into its jaw,
and enable it to bruise the insects after
getting them into it's mouth by means OF
the tongue.
The eyes have a most singular appear
ance, and are worked quite independ-
emily OF each other, one rolling back
ward, while the other is directed forward
or upward. There is not the least spark
of expression in theeye of the chameleon,
which looks about as intellectual as
green pea with dot Of ink upon it.
In speaking OF the changes of color in
the chameleon, Mr.. Wood, the writer on
natural history, says: 81 kept chame-
leon for long time. and carefully
watched it's changes Of color. Its
primary hue was gray-black, but other
colors were constantly passing over its
body. Sometimes it would be striped
Ike a zebra with light yellow, or covered
.=itls circular vallnw snnts. Sometimes
