-Itis probable that there will be
fewer tall buildings built in Chicago
~hereafter,,in consequence of the hi h
rate of insurance adopted By The board
of underwriters in the case of a ten
story structure. The rate was so high
that the owner of the building in ques-
ton thinks it necessary to tear down at
least two of the stories. This edifice
was intended for mercantile purposes,
and was therefore treated in different
manner from one intended for Offices

There is a. story going the rounds
that a man was sitting behind a hat,
the wearer being the sort of woman
who can not keep in one position. He
grew desperate; he placed his own silk
hat upon his head and commenced tc
dodge after his 6ormentQr. Presently
cries came, ''Take off that hat" TAX
ing it off, he leaned forward, tapped
the woman on her shoulder MADAME,
they are asking you to remove your
hat" he said courteously. And: the
plan was success.-Music and Drama.
"A granger hailing from Placer
county brought to the Chronicle Office a
curious freak of nature in the shape of
a live snake with two distinct heads.
There is no malformation, the body and
neck OF the reptile being perfect and
the heads being each of full size and
development. Each head has two
eyes, and the snake when aroused darts
its forked tongues from both mouths,
simultaneously at times, and at others
using only one tongue. The reptile is
little over foot long and belongs to
harmless variety. - San Francisco
Chronicle
Among the natives of Australia
notched and carved sticks are used for
messages For instance, a piece, OF
wood carried from one village to an.
other, with straight and curved lines
cut upon it, means ''TheEes is fight on
hand; fetch your spears and BOOM
erangs." The North American Indians
have utilized wampum belts from time
immemorial for like purposes, the ar
