California Lizards.

''There are some curious cases among
the geckos," said Los Angeles country
naturalist. ''Herc is one, dead, that il
called the leaf-tailed gecko. You See the
tail bulges out soon after leaving the
body, and assumes leaf or arrow shape;
hence the name of the animal Now,
when the little creature is chased you
will see it dodge around a limb and hold
up the curious leaf-like tail. That is all
that you can see, and 50, naturally,
would think it a part Of the tree itself
But this lizard has a more remarkable
method of escape yet. We will imagine
that you have tried to pluck the leaf.
The animal drops clumsily to the ground
and darts away among the rocks, where
it attracts the attention Of some Of the
hawks that are forever prowling around.
Immediately chase ensues; the bird
gains, and is finally about to pounce upon
its prey, when all at once two lizards ap-
pear, one making off, while the other
dances up and down into the air and
along the ground in very mysterious
way, 50 that the astonished bird stops
and looks. In the meantime the original
lizard escapes; the other, that is really
the tail, soon becomes quiescent. You
see the gecko has the faculty Of throw
ing off its tail when hard pressed, and
while the pursuer's attention is drawn to
the squirming member the animal itself
escapes"
sBut it loses its tailG" suggested the
reporter.
''Only for time. They can reproduce
this organ, and, curiously enough, some
times two tails are produced instead
Of one. San Francisco call.

London Fous.

stThis is rather deeply toned foggy
day, even for London, says Charles G.
Leland, in recent letter to the Chicago
Inter Ocean. 'sNo American who has not
passed winter in London has any idea
of what one of its fogs is like. I was
often asked very seriously Of old in New
York, or Philadelphia, or Newport,
when slight mist darkened the day, if
lit was not quite like London fog. One
might as well have compared quadroon
baby to a dark night. Never, even at
Campobello, on the Bay of Fundy, have
l seen fog which would not be fine
weather compared with that which now
surrounds US. At IL a. NJ am writing
by gas. It is much darker out Of doors
than it would be on an ordinary Ameri-
can night. I cannot trace the windows
or any of the architectural details of the
houses on the other side Of the way.
This is the fifth or sixth real fog Of the
winter 50 far. What gives it its peculiar
murky character is the admixture Of coal
smoke When there are no heavy clouds
above, or only mist, the sunlight gives
the vapor an indescribably lurid, muddy,
yellow-brown tinge. This is called
pea-soup fog, and one may then be sure
that at distance Of a few miles there is
clear, sunny weather
But once, say in ten years, there comes
over London black fog which is appall-
ing. It happens when the smoke of the
metropolis is beaten down fat by some
condition Of the atmosphere combining
with unusual thick mist or real fog,
while over all is a heavy bed of clouds.
have lived eleven years in England, yet
l never saw but one black fog. 1t was
simply black, impenetrable darkness. A
very distinguished member Of parliament
told me that once in such fog he could
not see the time by his watch. Singular
as it may seem, this frequent fog and al
most constant cloudiness and rain or driz
zIe produce no feeling whatever of de-
preston on one who is accustomed to it.

Tubs Full Of RubIes.

Concerning King Theebaw's rubies,
well informed correspondent writes: Il
is certainly curious that we have heard
nothing Of the Mandalay palace gems
The value Of the objects discovered there
we have been told is not great. Yet the
capital has been undisturbed by war for
over thirty years, if we omit the rebel
lion Of 1866, when there was no pHunder-
ing. During all that time the previous
store Of the lords Of the ruby mines and
of the noble serpentine has been steadily
added to. Many is the poor wretch who
has been crucifed for chipping down a
gem that from its size ought to have been
handed over to the arbiter Of existence.
Gentlemen who, in the time Of Theebaw's
father, the convener Of the fifth great
synod, were much about the palace, have
spoken about silver bowls the size of
washing tubs, filed to the lip with uncut
rubies; and at least one spoke enthusias-
tically Of the occasion on which he was
allowed to thrust his bare arms nearly
up to the shoulder in q huge chalce
full Of these gems. There was
in particular one great stone,
called the Nan-zin Budda-mya, which,
by its magnifcence, was supposed to
typify the dynasty. It was unmounted,
and, therefore, cannot be the gem In his
ring concerning which the dethroned
king was so plaintive, as it was guarded
with the most sedulous care. Neyerthe-
less, in 1880 maid of honor managed to
purloin it, and actually succeeded in get
ting it out Of the palace concealed on her
person in very extraordinary way. She
was, however, captured before she got
rid of the stone. It was restored to its
place and more jealously guarded than
ever; and the hapless damsel was put to
death with the fendish ingenuities in
which Soo-payah-lat, the queen, was
past master One Of the newspaper dis
patches tells us Continues the same cor
respondenD that the palace had been
very much looted by the royal body
guard. No doubt these gentry made for
the stores of rubies first Of all. There
was not much else that was really valu-
able, except the royal utensils, the gold
spittoon and betel-box, the model Of the
Hentha, the carrying bird of Yishnu, the
jeweled cups and trays and whatnot, be-
side the hundreds of silver bowls kept
for domestic uses and for presents to
visitors.-St. James Gazette.

TRUE CHARITY.
Charity not in ostentation sown

Charity not in ostentation sown
Is charity hundred-fold indead;
It springeth in the heart from noble seed,
Implanted by the hand of Love alone,
And shall forever live, tho all unknown
It sheddeth comfort DER the fields Of
Need
Tho never written be its sacred creed
Tho sleeps it not beneath the lofty stone
Thou sweetest how'r Of human graces all,
True charity, how can sing thy praise
With this my starveling verse these talents

In dim hermitage, passing perfect days,
Calmly ivest thou in holy peace, won
In humble ways by duties grandly done.

Why People We're Buried.


When men began to bury their dead
they did 50 in the firm belief in another
life, which life was regarded as the exact
counterpart Of this present ono. The
unsophisticated savage, holding that in
that equal sky his faithful dog would
bear him company, naturally enough had
the dog in question killed and buried
with him, in order that it mieht follow
him to the happy hunting ground.
Clearly, you can't hunt without your
arrows and your tomahawk; so the flint
weapons and the trusty bow accompanied
their owner in his new resting place. The
wooden haft, the deer sinew bowstring,
the perishable articles Of food and drink
have long since decayed within the damp
tumulus; but the harder stone and
earthenware articles have survived till
now, to tell the story of that crude and
simple early faith. Very crude and il
logical, indeed, it was, however, for it is
quite clear that the actual body Of the
dead man was thought Of as persisting to
live sort Of underground life within
the barrow. A stone hut was constructed
for its use; real weapons and implements
were left by its side, and slaves and
wives were ruthlessly massacred, a. still
in Ashantee, in order that their bodies
might accompany the corpse Of the
buried master in his subterranean dwell
ing. In all this we have clear evidence
of a very inconsistent savage, material
istic belief, not indeed in the immortality
Of the soul, but in the continued under
ground life Of the dead body Cornhil

carried in fact-and his wounds were so
numerous and so large that it seemed al
most out of the question for one little
stone to do him any good. All hands
went at it, however, with great zeal.
Driscoll himself was an ardent believer in
madstones. His father had been cured
by one, and he had known of other men
who had been benefited by them in like
manner. The stone and the patient were
made ready. Then Sauter applied the
charm to the biggest wound, and found
that it stuck 50 tightly that it was almost
impossible to knock it off. After ten
minutes had elapsed it fell of its own
accord, being full, as Sauter says, and on
being picked up with pair Of tongs and
put into bucket of hot water q green
scum Immediately rose to the surface.
The operation was repeated again and
again until all the wounds had been
treated and the stone would adhere no
more, the performance consuming nearly
three days, when the patient was dis
charged as cured.
The stone to which such remarkable
powers are ascribed is common enoughin
appearance. 1t is little over an inch in
length, nearly an inch in width, and is
shaped like a wedge, being about half an
inch thick at one end and quarter Of an
inch at the other It is fiat on one
side and slightly rounded on the other,
the corners being smooth. In color it is
a jet black, except that on one side there
is small reddish spot. Although Sauter
tells of the many wonderful things to be
ie9n in the stone under microscope, it
5, to the naked eye, no different from
any other stone of similar size and color
that might be picked up on the edge of
a body of water. Mr.. Sauter claims to
have list of all the madstones
in the country, and says that he knows
there are only four others. He says that
the one in his possession was taken from
the stomach Of a dear, and that all the
others must have been found in the same
way. Beside the stone here there is one
in Terre Haute, Ind, another at Kan
sas City, Mo-, one at Clyde, O., and one
in Virginia.
Mrs. J. Taylor, the owner Of the Terre
Haute maidstone, says it was found in
Virginia many years ago, and that it has
been in the possession of her family for
more than sixty years. She has record
Of !, 800 persons to whom it has been ap-
piled, and says that not one Of them has
had hydrophobia. Like Sauter, she
claims that in many cases where mad
dog has bitten live stock and men she
saved the men, while the animals have
gone mad and have had to be killed. In
applying it she claims to have have an
improvement on Sauter's plan, and con
vinces her patients that she operates on
scientific principles. Instead of putting
the stone directly on the wound she
scrapes the skin off a spot as large as the
stone, between the wound and the heart,
and applies the stone to the new sore. In
one case the stone stuck to a man fol
thirteen hours before it dropped off
This stone is little larger than Sauter'.
and is milk white.

Mr. Moore entered the room about this
time and announced that breakfast was
ready-when Bob remarked:
IF you haven't told the ladies Of my
adventure, don't, Mr.. Moore, if yen
please. "
ssWen,n said the old gentleman, Sc
never keep anything from my wife, ii
fact, I told her all about it last nigh,
and what do you suppose she saidgn
81 am sure don't know, Mr.. Moore a
"Well, she said, don't tell Sallie any
thing about it, and she made me promise
that l wouldn't Come, let us go to
breakfast, " said Mr. Moore, and the two
adjourned to the dining room where Bob
met Mrs. Moore, all smiles and hospital
ity and Miss Sallie prettier and sweeteT
looking, he thought, than he had ever
before seen her. All hands attended
church, Bob accompanying Miss Sallie,
who rode horseback. Returning from
church Miss Sallie told Bob that Tina
was willing, and that mas word was the
law in the family and that he
need have no fears Of an unfav-
orable answer" So that afternoon
when the old man asked Bob to walk
with him to the barn to see his shorthorns
aud Holsteins, Bob was even too anxious
to get the old man all to himself, not
withstanding he had to leave Miss Sallie
to entertain young preacher who had
accompanied the family from church to
dinner.
Bob thought the old man would never
get through expatiating on the merits Of
registered and improved stock so as to
give him an opportunity to ask for Miss
Sallie's hand.
Finally, when the old man remarked
that he greatly regretted that he had no
sons to take an interest in hisaffairs, Bob.
suggested that probably the next best
thing was son-in-law, " and offered him
self in that capacity.
The old man grasped his hand and re-
marked:
'Bob, you can have Sallie orone condi-
ton, and that is that you are not to take
her away from us as long as the old wo-
man and myself i've"
Bob agreed to this, and before he left
for town that evening the day for the
wedding was fixed; and last week the
Canton Nail contained the notice of the
marriage of she happy pair.-DetrOit FIRE.
