How ChameIeons change Color.

hguth VI. WdboOut III WluC hMdhCsl
For some time after they came from the
South, they remained one color-brow. n
But when their box was put in an open win
dow so that they might feel the sun and
smell the fresh air, they would change to
most beautiful colors. 1t is a mistake to
think their colors vary according to the
color of the substance on which they may
happen to be. 1t changes according to their
feelings. Sometimes, when angry and ex-
cited, having been disappointed in the pur-
suit of willy fly, they will turn vivid green
and when cold, they are usually dark bro wn.
Often when | have been watching them, |
have seen one lying in the sun, on branch
it for a piece Of the branch. In moment
he would begin to change, turning green,
6rst around the eyes, then one foot and half
q leg. then his tail, then streak down his
back, and so the change would creep up
until suddenly he would be of one color-a
beautiful brilliant emerald green.
All three changed to different shades OF
green; one blush, another yellowish and
the third and smallest as bright and rank a
green as | ever saw. At other times they
would be light or dark brown, yellow or like
burRt-sienna, and sometimes fawn-color.
Under their Threats and on their breasts they
are nearly white. They are green too when
they sleep. Mine almost always slept
huddled together, clinging to the very top
of the walls of their box.

wisdom For Those About To Marry.

wisdom For Those About To Marry.
They who marry for physical character
istics or external Considerations will fail of
happiness.
Never both be angry at once.
Never taunt with a past mistake.
Never allow a request to be repeated.
Let kiss be the prelude OF rebuke.
Let self-abnegation be the habit of both.
81 forgot is never an acceptable excuse.
A good wife is the greatest earthly
blessing.
If you must criticise, let it be done
lovingly.
Make marriage a matter of moral judg-
nent.
Never make a remark at the expense of
the other.
Give your warmest sympathies for each
others trials.
Never talk at one another, either alone or
in company.
If one is angry, let the other part the lips
only for kiss.
Neglect the whole world besides, rather
than one another.
Let each strive oftenest to yield to the
wishes of the other.
Always leave home with loving words for
they may be the last.
Marry into different blood and tempera-
ment from your own.
Never speak in loud tones to one another
unless the house is on fire.
Never deceive. for the heart, once misled,
can never trust wholly again.
Never find fault unless it is perfectly certain
fault has been committed.
1t is the mother who molds the character
and fixes the destiny of the child.
Do not herald the sacrifices you make to
each others tastes, habits or preferences.
Let all your mutual accommodations be
spontaneous, whole-souled and free as air.

stick of wood, and the Constitution of Sun
day morning made an appeal to the citizens
to send to the paper money, provisions and

thousans of dollars took their places as
drivers, each with a wood-wagon and a pro-
vision wagon under his charge, and started
on tour of the city, working all day until
night fall.
