Miss Angelina Brooks, who is recog.
nized authority on all questions of KIN
dergarten methods, has recently devoted
her time to careful investigation of the
curbstone children in this city, says the
New York Commercial Advertiser. She
has ascertained that there are 140, ,00C
boys and girls between the ages of -four
and six who spend their lives in the
streets and never once see the inside of a
school. She is trying to enlist sympathy
for these unfortunate waits which will
ultimately lead to the establishment fol-
them of free kindergarten school.

A Most Wonderful Creature.

The chameleon has for ages been an OBJ
ject of curiosity, not only on account of
It's ability to change its color at will, as
one might suppose who had read &C.
counts which mentioned only that one
characteristic, but also on account of a
remarkable power which admits of the
creature instantly changing its form. At
times it takes upon itself almost the ex-
act form of mouse; again, with back
curved and tail erect, it is the exact
counterpart Of Il miniature crouching
lion, which no doubt gave origin to its
name, chameleon, which clearly means
"ground lion" By initiating its sides
and tlatteniny back and belly it takes
upon itself the form of an ovate leaf,
the tail acting as the petiole, the white
line over the stomach becoming the mid
rib. When thus expanded it also has
the extraordinary power to sway itself
over so as to present an edge to the oh.
server, thus greatly adding to its means
of cOncealment. As is well known, the
least excitement, as in handling, will
cause n change in the color. In its nor
NAL state it is of light pea green.
When excited the groundwork remains
the same, but transverse stripes about
thirty in number appear on the body.
These stripes, which are of very dark
green to begin with, soon change to inky
blackness. The prevailing idea that the
chameleon takes upon himself the pc.
culiar hues of whatever he is placed upon
IS as curious aud widespread as it IS err
roneous. Placed in boxes lined with red
or blue silk, they retain their pea green
color with no leaning toward the brighter
hues of the surroundings.-St. Louis
Republic.

II is asserted that after this wear

II is asserted that after this year the
United States will not only be able to
stop importing fruit, but will begin to
be factor in supplying the markets of
the world. The estimate is that New
York will have 10000, 900 pounds of
fruit from California alone this summer.
Fast fruit trains now cross the continent
in seven days, and enable the growers to
harvest a ripper product than heretofore.
Arizona and Oregon are coming to the
front as fruit states; Mississippi is getting
famous for tomatoes, and Florida oranges
and Georgia peaches are always sure of a
ready market. The outlook has never
been so promising.

The Trade in Old Shoes.

There is a large and growing demand
in big New York for secondhand shoes.
All along Seventh avenue there are deal
eas who make a speciality of old shoes.
The men usually have stalls in cellars.
Their wares embrace shoes Of all sorts,
from the baby's tiny slipper TO the big,
stiff brogans of the laborer.
"We get our old shoes, said one Of
them, yesterday, "from all sorts of
places. l usually make a couple of trips

the upper part Of the city. collect all

usually pay forty cents or so for a pair
of five dollar shoes, but they must be in
good shape to win such price, for, you
know, we do not get much more than
twice that sum when we retail them
again over the counter"
"Who sell shoes to you?"
"You would be surprised if you saw
the fine, swell fellows that have To nut
up their shoes occasionally to help keen
up appearances. We take the shoes,
black them up, repair tuem, aud then
offer them for sale"
"Who buys themW
Gan classes. Yes, we have nice,
prosperous people who wear second -haud
shoes, and think nothing of it. Then
there is a class of young fellows in New
York who have expensive tastes and
small capital. They come to US, pick
out a good-looklng patent leather shoe,
pay seyenty-tiye cents or so for il, and

basin.
"No. Come here, Perky" said tht
audacious girl, "and I'll show you the

going to sketch this afternoon"
"it's past eight, Miss Elwood, and yor
know your grandfather attaches great
importance to punctuality," began the
goyerness.

Mrs. Perkins Strengthened Emma's
sash, gave her curls several twitches this

breakiast-Ioom just in time to avert the
usual morning lecture from old MajcI
Elmwood on the evils of late rising.
But that afternoon, in the purple soft
ness of twilight, Elma managed to eyade
her precise guardian, and slip off into
the woods with her sketch-book.
And she was sitting on a moss-cush'
ioned rock, working with all her might,
when Louis Dalzell strobe toward the
spring for a pail of water.
The sleeves of his red flannel blouse
were rolled high up on the forearm.
He still wore his stained leathern apron,
and his short, chestnut cuTls plainly re-
vealed themselves through the riffs in
his tattered straw hat.
Had he but known it, he never had
looked better in his life; yet deep flush
of modification rose to his brow as he
encountered the pretty twelve year old
damsel in white, with the shady, rose
garlanded hat, aud the soft Roman sash
tied loosely around her waist.

O TIME AND CHANGE.

o Time and Change, they range and range
From sunshine round to thunderl
They glance and go as the great winds blow,
And the best of our dreams drive under:
For Time and Change estrange, estrange-
And, now they have looked and seen us,
0 We that were dear we are all too near
With the thick of the world between us.
o Death and Time, they chime and chime
Like bells at sunset falling
They end the song, they right the wrong,
They set the old echoes calling:
For Death and Time bring on the prime
OF Gods own chosen weather.
And we lie in the peace Of the Great Release
As once in the grass together.

The tree selected by the Tulare Board
of Trade for exhibition at the Worlds
Fair stands on the land of Mrs. NJ. G. X.
Shuey, one-half mile southeast Of
Summerhome, on the summit between
North and Middle Tule, about thirty five
miles northeast of Porterville. The tree
was selected at the request of the
National Worlds Fair Association. Mrs.
Shuey donates the tree as a gilt. 1t is
said to be a magnificent specimen of
sequoia gigantea, some 300 feet in
height. At the base it is 76l feet in
circumference, and eleven feet from the
ground it is 63 feet in circumference.
This gives a base diameter of PAT feet.
The section that will be removed for ex-
hibition will be a portion thirty feet
long. This piece will be cut INTO two
fifteen-foot sections, with natural slab
between them. This circular piece will
be 2l! feet in diameter aud 16 inches
thick. 1t will serve as roof for the
lower section when followed and floor
for the upper one.-Visalia (Cal)

Wonderful Work Of Bees.

Bees must, in order to collect a pound
Of clover honey, deprive 62, 900 clover
blossoms of their nectar. To do this
the 62, 900 flowers must be visited by an
aggregate of 3,750,000 bees. Or, in
other words, to collect his pound OF
honey one bee must make $3.50, 600
trips from and to the hive. The enor-
nous amount of work here involved pre-
cludes idea of any one bee ever living
long enough to gather more than the
fraction OF a pound of nectarine sweets.
AS bees are known to fly for miles in
quest Of suitable fields of operation it is
clear that single ounce of honey re-
presents millions Of miles Of travel It
is no wonder that these industrious little
insects have ear1ed. the reputation OF
being "busy' bees.--St Louis Republic,
