How a Chameleon Looks.

Upon crimson cloth the chameleon
becomes almost Crimson; move it upon
gray surface and the bright tints will
quickly subside. But at night, whether
disturbed or not, it invariably assumes
its palest tints. Two which caught in
the Cape Town garden, which were of a
very brilliant metallic green, weresplen-
didly decorated. On the back or sides,
sometimes saddlewise and sometimes
lengthwise, were slashes of red. The
markings vary in the individuals. The
crest and decorations on the head and
back are like fretwork, the whole body
and limbs are dotted with very fine
warts or tubercles like shagreen, and
when angry all these distinctive fea-
lures are exaggerated, the gills and
crest are swelled, and the skin of the
chin is puffed out so as to show white
stripes, while the creature opens its
mouth wide, displaying the yellow,
fieshy interior, and closing its teeth on
your finger should you provoke it to do
so.-Cor. Forest and Stream.

Deaths in january,

1t has often been noticed at the begin
ming of January the death is announced
Of number of prominent men. The
reason is probably found in the fact not
that great men are more prone to die in
January than at any other time of the
year, but that the weather in that month
is unsettled, and consequently hard on
the constitution alike of great and hum
BILE. Great men are only human after
all, and a great man physically weak
ened by hard work or disease is just as
likely to die from change Of weather
as though he were day laborer.
The mortality tables show that the
month of January and the first month
of exceedingly hot weather in the sum-
mer are more fatal than any other time
of the year, and the great must take
their chances with other people.-St.
Louis Globe-Democrat.

Ra,.ac,s Servant.

When Honore de Balzac. the novelist.
stated in early life his wish to become a
literary man, his father, who had des-
tined him for the bar, was shocked and
disappointed. Still he gave the boy two
years in which to prove his fitness for a
literary life, and Honore was accordingly
installed in an attic near the library
where he proposed to work.
His mother believed that little hard
ship would soon bring him to his senses,
but the correspondence which he there
upon began with his sister shows that
the man who was afterward to attain
distinction in his chosen work could
afford, as a youth, to scorn such trihes as
waiting upon himself. In the very first
letter he confded to his sister the news
that he had taken servant. He writes:
''He is named Myself! And a bad
bargain he is, trulyl Myself is lazy,
clumsy, thoughtless. His master is
hungry or thirsty, and often enough
Myself has neither bread nor water to
give him; he doesn't even know how to
shield him from the wind which whistles
through the door and window. AS soon
as l am awake l ring for Myself, and
he makes my bed. Then he sweeps the
room, and clumsy he is at it.
"'Myselfp
"'Yes, sir
Look at that cobweb with the big
fly buzzing in it till am half giddy with
the noise, and the fluff under the bed,
and the dust under the window panesp
"The lazy beggar gazes at me and
doesn't stir, and yet, in spite of all his
defects, 1 can't get rid of that unintelli-
gent Myself"
And the same stupid myself" it was
who afterward enriched French itera-
ture with series of wonderful works.

The Pasture Lands of Montana.

A glance at the map will call to the
attention the apparently contradictory
fact that the principal seats of popula-
ton in the state of Montana are directly
in the Rocky mountain region. This is
difficult for the majority of readers to
account for. They think of the Rocky
mountains as great bastions of bare
stone-and such, indeed, the main range
is; but the spurs and lesser or side
ranges are grass clad or wooded eleva-
tions, and even amid the veritable
Rockies themselves are innumerable
valleys coated with the richest, most nu-
tritious pasturage to be found anywhere
in the world. In or beside such valleys
are the cities built there to be close to
the mines that are being worked in the
mountains. Julian Ralph in Harper's.

GIVE WHAT IS GIVEN.

He whom God In love has gifted
With sight beyond the rest.
Must toll on till he has lifted
Other eyes TO see the best.
Flame he must when false lights beckop
Men and nations to their doom;
Him shall unborn ages reckon
As their glory or their gloom.
What to him the crowd that listens
To itself and is content?
Guided by the star that glistens
Highest in the armament.
He must stand beyond the passing
Thinker on the dreamer's way,
Totling, delving and amassing
Wisdom for future day.
From the rise OF oldest nations
To the last land of the earth,
AL along the different stations
Made and filed by men of worth,
He beholds Truths hand forever
Crushing down the Wanted liel
Urging him with high endeavor
To the deed that shall not die.

 Second to That of the secretary Him-
 selE-Ho May Go to Cuba AT,er His
 Resignation is Accepted = <prculatiOn
 as t" His Successor--SlIniater Lincoln
 Spoken of t" Take His Place.
 WASHINGTON, Feb 10 MT. Secretary Blaine's resi- .nation from the Cabinet will, after a reasonable interval, follow his letter of witntlrawal as a Presidential possibility.
 The authority for this is secoad only to Secretary Blaine himself
 Mr Blaine lfas reached 2 definite deter imitation to resign his commission as Secretary of State. Only the date at which this action shall be taken remains undetermined.
 The reaSun which Secretary Blaine will give to the President for retiring from the Cabinet will be that of physical inability to continue to perform the exacting duties of his present office. This is in fact, the true reason for MT. Blaine's determination to withdraw entirely from official life.
 It has been the hope of Mir. Blaine for several months to spend some of the present winter in a warmer climate
 When he left Bar Harbor last fall it was with the intention of going from Washington either to the extreme south ern part of Texas or to Mexico to spend the winter.
 The Chilian imbroglio dragged its length along till a trip of so great ex- tent became impracticable. Since the Chilian affair has assumed less import ance, it is stated that MT. Blaine has expressed 8 desire to go as soon as possi- ble to the Bermudas and remain till late spring or early summer months have settled the fickle weather of this lati- tude.
 Since that time Mir. Blaine has also expressed desire to visit Cuba, and it is thought that that island will be his probable destination after he has resigned from the Cabinet.
 It is, of course, too early to speculate as to who may succeed Mir. Blaine as Secretary of State. The name of ex- Senator Edmunds of Vermont has been suggested because of his known intimacy with the President and his great expert ence in public affairs, but it will be re- membered that MT. Edmunds assigned his own precarious health as his reason for resighing from the Senate.
 New York already has Q member of the Cabinet, which would seem to debar from consideration the name of ex- Senator Evarts, who was Secretary of State under President Hayes.
 It is thought more probable that the President would look to the West for a successor to Secretary Blaine, and it is suggested that he might find it good poli- tics to appoint 8 man from Illinois. In this connection the name of Robert T. Lincoln, who was Secretary of War under President Arthur, and who is now United States Minister at the Court O. St. James, might be recalled and pro noted to the head of the State Depart ment.
 The most important subject after re- ciprocity now that the:sdepartment has in hand is the Behring Sea question, with which Minister Lincoln's duties during the past three years have made him thoroughly familiar.
