LIZARDS THAT LOVE MUsIC.:

LIZARDS THAT LOVE MUSIC:
They Followed a whIstIing student
Until Scared OF by q Peasant.
As is well known, lizards of all colors and
sizes abound in Italy, says Leisure Hour.
They lie basking on all the stones, they run
along all the walls, they peep out at every
chink and crevioe; but as soon As they hear
the faintess noise they disappear with light
ming speed, and it is hard to see them near
and to observe them. closely. Walking care
Iessly, and noticing the dear little animals
darting now here, now there, remembered
the Greek statue of Apollo Sauroktones,
who is always represented as busted with q
lizard-Apollo, god Of the sun and of music.
"suppose try" thought, and softly,
quite softly, began to whistle dreamy old
German air, and beholdl q lizard lies still as
though rooted to the spot, raising its little
head in a listening attitude and looking as
me with his sharp little eyes. Without stir,
ring l continued my melody. The lizard
came nearer and nearer, and ct last ap-
preached quite close, always listening and
forgetting all its fears. As soon, however,
as the whistler made the slightest movement
1t vanished into some crevice, but to peep
forth again moment after and to listen once
more, as though entirely entranced. j.,
A delightful discovery truly, and one OF
which extended the field of observation
daily. At last as many as eight or nine of
these little music lovers would sit around me
in the most comic attitudes. Nay, two OF
them, a mother and its young one, would sit
awaiting me as 1 arrived whistling at the

such as found they best loved to hear, and
see, verify. they followed me!
Watching them with intense interest,
continued to whistle as walked on slowly,
hating every few PAGES and being silent
while halted, and truly the little creatures
followed, slowly, it is true, but in straight
line, at a distance of about fifteen steps, un-
til at last. unhappily, the heavy tread OF q
peasant put them to flight. But my expert
enoe had lasted long enough to make me un-
derstand the Apollo Sauroktonos, and once
more reverenced the keen native observation
of those old Hellenes. Besides this the le-
eend of the sRatcatcher of Hamelin" sud-
denly became much more credible.

have been in Wilkes. The cursinr
and swearing have not been il, III,

Even the Alexander county boys who
said they "could whip the whole
town." and that they would do as they
pleased, like common, changed their
minds when they got here and kept
quiet. The outrageous jug business
by the wbiskey pimps which has been
SO infamous heretofore, made itself
very scarce. In fact we have heard
no tell of such at all. For this reason
there has not been near so much
drinking, although a bar room was
open just at hand. And those who
did drink did not get raving mad as
has been the custom before. Perhaps
because they drank pure liquor and
not the poison jug mixture that seem.
ed to set them furiously wild. There
is enough crime in the pure article,
but the jug stuff seemed to have an
overabundance, and we rejoice ex-
ceedingly at its decline.
These good results are due princi
pally to the town government. Proper
ordinances had been passed for the
purpose of breaking up these inf,-
nous things heretofore SO shamefully
carried on at court, and people knew
the laws would be carried out. We
are glad to note the improvement, but
there is more To be done
We understand that the jug pimps,
driven from the town, carried on
small business outside of the corpora
ton. This should be broken up at
once.
