Lizards in Solid Chalk.

K. \. Edmondson, of Eden, Suffolk,
Eng, writes rs follows to one Of the
London papers: Yesterday | had the
good fortune to be present at the discov-
cry of two lizards which were embedded
in solid chalk fifty feet below the sur,
face So completely devoid Of life did
tn" creatures appear on first exposure to
the air, that | actually beloved them
tossilizrd; Judge then Of my surprise
when, on attempting to take them up,
perceived them move.
| Immediately placed them in the sun,
the heat Of which soon restored them TO
animation, In this state carried them
home and immersed one i'll some tepid
water, keeping the other in dry place
TN closer examination, noticed that the
mouths of each was closed with a kind
of gu nous membrane This obstruc-
ton seemed to cause the little saurians
an immense amount of Inconvenience.
During the night one of them broke
the membrane and is now fat and hearty,
hnt the other died from being unable to
effect the same purpose.
1t is enough to make cold chilIs creep
up ones back to ask and reflect on the
questions: How long were these tiny, liv-
ing creatures imprisoned in their chalky
beds, and how many centuries before the
birth of Christ was it that they sported
on brtain's native heath?

Egg.Eating Snakes.

One OF the most interesting points
ahnnt snakes is the extraordinary charac-
ter Of many of the variations of structure
which MIXTURE has invented among them.
There are some snakes whose structure
especially fits them to be egg eaters:
Their teeth are not in the mouth, for Il
the egg was broken in the mouth, the
contents would be lost, but are down the
throat and point toward the outlet.
When the egg is in the gullet the snake
soueezes it against these teeth and
breaks it, and N this manner gets all OF
the egg. There is another snake whose
poison gland extends backward for
third Of its length, the heart being placed
much further back than it would be
otherwise. Tho use to the snake OF this
great supply Of poison is unknown

The directors of big corporations
are not paid, learns the New York
Sun, but they have luncheon given
them when they meet, and a certain
sum of money is set apart to compen-
sate them for the time they are eating
it and for listening to the reports. If
they are all present thc sum is less,
the fewer in number the more money
they get. But as they are generally
men rich in honors aud estates, they
arc little shame-faccd at being tipped
like schoolboys, and they always pre-
tend, at least among themselves, that
they give the money to their wives,
daughters, nicces and cousins for
charity and pin money. If this in-
formation is new to the female rela-
tives of directors they will understand
that they have right to claim this
money as their perquisites. There is
one man in town, and doubtless many
others, who says if he attendrd all the
board meetings to which he is entitled
to 60 as director, he would earn in
this manner alone 5000 a year-the
support of an unambitious family.
Jury money. it is generally under
stood, goes to the female side of the
house, as do the preachers wedding
fees. 1t is an old story of how the
wife of John Delane of the London
Times suggested the obituary column,
of which her husband playfully al
lowed her the income that finally grew
to some imposing sum,

Some idea of England's grave re-
eponsibility in India may be gathered,
suggests the New York Observer,
from the latest reports of the popula-
ton of that country and its rapid in.
crease. In 1881 the population was
1000, 900; in 1891 it was 2S6, OOO,-
900, showing al increase in a single
decade almost equal to that of the
whole population of England and
Wales. Of these, 207, 100000 are
Hindus, 57,O00,0OO are Mohamme-
dams, 100000 are Buddhists, while
as yet only 2,2S4, 1876 can be spoken of
az in any sense Christians. The fir-
ures are appalling. The increase of
population in ten years is equal to
thirteen times the number of those
who "can be spoken of as in any sense
Christians"

The incident which shaped the pro-
fessional career Of the late Paul Dill
ingham, Ex-Governor of Vermont, was
cutting his foot with an axe while
chopping trees, when he was about
twenty-onc years old. Although dis
abled only for q time, he had slight
limp all the rest of his life in conse-
quence of this painful mishap. While
recovering from the Immediate effects
of the blow he spent many hours in
general reading in a lawyers office,
and this led TO his looking into the
law, and finally adopting it as his pro-
fession.

Judge left, one Of the recently ap-
pointed Federal Circuit Court Justices,
has directed that all witnesses UNDER
going examinations in his presence
shall stand, and not sit, and attorneys
are required tc ito so likewise. The
rule has provoked much comment,
states the New York Tribune. His
reason for having the witness stand is
that a hearing is thus expedited.

FASHION NOTES.
Nauve is rcigning supreme.

DRESSING with an eve to one color is
much more economical, as can easily be
seen.
Wide baby sashes of MORE or fancy
ribbon will b. very much worn with
summer dresses.
! Watch the bell skirts worn in the street
/ Notice how black they aye around the
bottom aud remember our farisian
sisters would laugh us to scorn,
. BreAkfa-k jackets are made of
lowered deIaines and nainsook, and
trimmed with Nalenciennes lace and rib
hons the exact shade of tho pattern.
Dressing gowns are almost as pretty
as tea gowns One made of pink wool
stuff has white lace about the neck,
| hood friIIcd with lace and grdle of
white silk cord.
Niolets are worn as much for the shade
as for the blossom; everything tends to
purple heliotrop" and lavender. Dresses
are Of this shade, stationary, and bonnets
are trimmed with it,
The newest shirts are made Of French
batiste, colored or whita, and have q
broad turned down collar reaching almost
to the shoulder. Beneath this is tied o
small edition of the "windsor' tie.
A novel summer cloak to wear over
silk dress is made entirely of black lace,
with large bishop sleeves and Il rutile Of
lace at the neck. 1t falls in loose folds,
has no lining, and reaches to the feet.
1t is wonder women who wear the
small watches suspended from the bodice
of their gowns do not have them stolen.
1t must be quite temptation t" thief
to SEQ the dainty things dangling so
carclessly from their gold clasp.
Jet and beaded iewclled garntures will
be used as much as ever. The new
patterns are wonderfully beautiful in
effect. The cut jet is Of the finest and
the brochc irridescent, and solid standings
of ole rich color are very attractive.
While sleeves are coming down collars
are going W. Walking dresses must
have either roll overcoat collars with
rcyers and shirt fronts, or if they button
up to the throat they must stand full an
inch higher than in the winter. Further
more, they must flare out slightly.
The Russian blouse brings into de-
mand all forms Of buckles and clasps
And Russian girdIrs ire very much de-
sired a good many of them look
theatrical and tinsel-like, Re wary of
these. \ plain leather belt with a
leather buckle costing a dollar and u
half is Of far more style-good style
than cheap taudriness.
Belts ere necessity with shirts.
Some are made in Russian leather, others
in suede. and have leather buckles.
There is also II Swiss belt shape, which
is laced in front For young ladies to
wear with round waist there are narrow
belts of velvet or braid with q glimmer
of gold in them. These are worn with
plain bodice, as well as Il plated one.
The material called cotton Bedford
cords, sold especially for shirt waists, is
in reality merely our Cd friend piPue,
and very satisfactory shirts it makes,
too. The goods is wide enough to allow
cutting so that the cord runs up and
down instead Of across. 1t is the sea
sons caprice that no starch should be
used in shirt waists, not even in the col
lars and cuffs

THE MARCHING OF THE GRASS.
By MARY Z. BLAKE.

BY MARY Z. BLAKE.
o the marching of the Grass!
O the Joy that comes to pass
When the mighty silent army with green ban
ners overblown
Drags the Winter from his throne.
Conquers all his shining valleys, climbs the
rampant of the hill,
Steals by homely wayside hedges, fords the
river broad and still,
Undermines the fortress forest, overtops the
castle wall,
Swift invading wins the cities, and the hamlet
brown and small,
Till the whole wide world is captured,
And the soul of man enraptured,
Thrills with passion Of delight
Sunny morn and dewy night;
And the joyous rhythmic pulsing marleth time
in lad and lass
To the marching
Marching
Marching
Of the Grass.
q the marching Of the Grass!
Fairer things may come to pass
In the golden days Of summer: roses drunk
with wine ofJune:
Fitting wild birds all atune
With the odorous breathed dawning: wOndrOus
tapestry of flowers;
Balm of incense; rest Of shadow; tangled veil
ofjeweled showers;
Hymning choirs of happy music backward
from earth to sky.
The full beauty of completeness in rich chorus
lifted high!
But what means its regal splendor
To the love beat shy and tender
With which Hope, the Blcst, doth chime;
In mans pulses marking time
To the haunting spell Of gladness that doth
come-and go, alas!
With the marching,
Marching,
Marching
Of the Grass.

Steam was started in the two
boilers of the Makaweli Plantation,
Kauai, on Thursday of last week, on
the arrival of Hon. III. p, Baldwin
from Honolulu, Steam was started
again on. Tuesday and everything
worked satisfactorily. The planta-
ton, which is the largest on the
islands, will be in working order in
the middle of December, when it is
expected grinding will be com
menced.
The cane is in hourishing condi-
ton and everything tends to sue

sticks of cane measuring eighteen
feet without the tops were placed on
exhibition in the Hawaiian News

There were mutterings OF storm
at the meeting of the Board of Rep
resentatives of the Honolulu Fire
Department last night 1t was init
mated in advance that a vote of
want of confidence in the Chief En-
gineer was to be presented by En-
CINE Co. No. |. Other causes of
friction we're also expected to arise,
and they did. Still the meeting
passed off without anything having
occurred to produce hard feelings
thereafter.
1t was large meeting, most of
the members of the Board being
present. Chief Engineer julius Asch
presided, supported by First and
Second Assistants Jas. H. Hunt and
David Kalawaia. Henry Smith, Secre-
tary. had heap of communications
and reports on his desk, on which
there was more talk than would have
sufficed, as to whether this, that or
the other thing should be read, and
as to the disposition OF the respec-
tive documents. They related to
the Chief Engineer and to the Fire
Marshal, respectively, both of whom
had fallen into disfavor with differ
ent companies
Engine Co. No. 4 reported to the
Board that it had unanimously pass
ed vote of want of confidence in
John NELL, Fire Marshal, on the
grounds of unjust treatment, dis
courtesy, etc, toward the complain
ing company. The company's letter
was referred, for investigation and
report, to committee consisting of
the Assistant Engineers, Foreman
McVeigh of No. |, Foreman Wide
mann of No. and Captain Krouse
of the Fire Police. So that matter
was quieted for the time being.
The Fire Marshal's office likewise
came in for some warm discussion,
relative to the bill pending in the
Legislature, which would abolish it
and confer its duties on the Chief
Engineer at salary of SIS a month.
