Mimic Their Surroundings

| That animals are aware of their resem-
blance and take advantage of it there
can be no doubt. In driving through
the White Mountain country some years
ago suddenly came upon quail It
was so near me that it did not attempt
TO fly, merely thrusting out its neck to
the full extent, and so resembling the
twigs and brush amid which it stood
that L almost lost sight Of it. ! pre-
tended not to see it and moved slowly
on, still watching it, and it retained the
position until | was out Of sight.
In Australia a bird has been noticed
which when alarmed thrusts out its long
neck at an angle almost exactly resem-
bling limb of the tree. in this mimicry
finding protection. Ga the Pacific
slope and especially in California ne find
many examples OF this interesting phase
of nature. One of the most familiar ex-
amples is the common horned toad, or
more properly, horned lizard La riding
over the country the sharpest eyes rarely
make ont the little animal unless it is in
motion, when il scrambliDg action makes
it conspicuous, but the moment it
stopped it became invisible again. Every
one must have noticed this, and it is
simply due to the fact that the little fiat
lizard has coloring, CT a lack of color
ing, as the case may be, that initiates the
ground upon which it stands [ noticed
in the San Gabriel Valley, particularly,
that the horned lizards on the Iowlands,
where the ground was clear, was dust
coiored or mottled, while upon the foot
hills, where there was more cover
and color, they were more highly col
ored. Taking a number selected pro-
miscuously,I placed them in incIosures-
one with black bottom, another with
white, another with brown, and so on.
When the lizards were placed III the pens
they were all of the same general tint, but
after q few days found that to greater
OF less extent they had assumed tone
corresponding to the base upon which
they rested. In other words they were
to a certain extent mimiclling their sur
roundings to render them less conspicu-

WORDS OF WISDOM.

The freshest and sweetest fish conn
from the safest sea.
1t is easier to get away from the banl;
than from the bottom
One of the illusions is that the present
hour is not the critical, decisive hour.
Write it on your heart that every day i:
the best day Of the year
Good words are always in place. They
are words Of sincerity, charity, encour-
agement, but probably also reproof and
rebuke. If they are trueand fifty spoken
they are good, and in some way or osher
will have mission OF usefulness.
Supplement what the children learn al
school with reading lessons at home.
Reading aloud is good, will improve the
reading of the reader, and give informa-
ton to members of the home circle who
may be obliged to work with the hands
in the evening.
Like fakes of snow unperceiyed on.
the earth, the seemingly unimportant
events of life succeed one another. As
the snow gathers together, so are our
habits formed. No single fake that is
added to the pile produces a sensible
change; no single action creates, how
ever it may exhibit, mans character.
The word refined implies an extraction
of impurities. Therefore, a ''reined
person" implies that such one was pre-
yiously impure. 1t is merely reversing
the expression "natural depravity" to
speak of a "refned person" No one
could be ''cured" who was never sick,
and he who claims to be "refnedn also
admits he wos ''deprsved."

Facts Concerning Noiras.

The natural enmity which exists be-
tween dogs and wolves is characteristic
which is recalled by the antipatby shown
by every good watch dog toward stran-
gers Of his own race, but that wolves
should devour dogs certainly savors
somewhat of canuibalism, for these
friends and foes of man are in fact two
branches Of the same family, as is
proved TO the satisfaction of naturalists
by their identity in various important
characteristics, though sundry minor
points of difference are noted, such as
that in drinking dog laps, whereas a
wolf sucks, and in biting the wolf gives
q rapid succession of vicious snaps in
stead of the firm, retaining hold which
generally characterizes the bite of a
healthy dog. The character of the bark
also differs greatly, the honest dog bark
being replaced by short swapping, while
the VOLTS voice is chiefly exertcd in pro-
ducing dismal bowls.
As regards external appearance, the
common wolf with his shaggy coat bears
a much closer resemblance to Collie
dog than the latter does to most other
branches of the dog tribe, though the
cruel, treacherous expression of the OBJ
liquely set eyes betrays how different is
the wolf spirit from that which looks
out through the kind, true eyes of the
faithful dog, Yet there have been in
stances of domesticated wolves which
heve formed strong attachment to their
human owners, while on the other hand
we have to confess that the dog race
does include both savage and cowardly
individuals -Nclc York Nens.

rho Prolific banana.

fhe banana is one of the best known
of commercial fruits and one of tha
most prolific in increase. OF its nutri,
tive powers, it is enough to say that an
acre sown with it will support more than
fifty persons, whereas the same amount
of land sown with wheat in Europe will
only support two persons. As to the
e5uberance of its growth, it is calculated
that, other circumstances remaining the
same, its produce is forty-four times
greater than that of potatoes and 13s
times greater than that of wheat.

Told by A Bisilop.

Bishop Talbot told story in Boston
the other day showing that at least one
Harvard man didn't leave his wits be-
hind him when he left college. The
bishop, it seems, arrived one day in a
small mining town in his diocese
Wyoming-where he had promised to
hold a service. Walking up the street
he noticed some green handbills flying
about, took one up aud read as follows
"Bishop Talbot breaches tonight at
-. Let him have big crowd.
Please leave your guns with the usher. =
The bishop was not easily scared, but
thought the last sentence little odd.
On inquiry he learned that one of the
young men in town, Harvard man, by
the way, who knew the bishop, and
wanted to raise a good crowd to greet
him, had issued the handbills, knowing
that many who would not come to hear
the bishop preach would come at a hint
Of a disturbance of any kind. - Chieago
