"Stop, Look and Listen.n

Not long ago the widow Of a western
sheriff brought suit against a railroad COM
pany for damages resulting from the death
Of her husband. 1t appeared in evidence
that he was standing on the station plat
form waiting for the ''up train" to pass,
and as soon as the rear car had passed he
attempted to cross, but was run over by the
down train" which he had not seen ap-
preaching. The case was decided in favor
of the railroad company, because the Judge
ruled that the accident was the result of
the deceased S own negligence.
'It is maxim of law" said the Judge,
shat when a man approaches railroad he
must stop, look and listen. The deceased
stopped, but he did not look nor listen"
Golden Days points the moral Of this little
story by saying that 1t is a pity such an
eminently sensible rule is not more gener-
ally followed. 1t might be called rule
for universal application-not only when
approaching railroad, bridge, ferry
or any dangerous locality, but on nearing
any point in life where an oversight may
be fatal to future success it is wise TO stop,
look and listen.

The Wild Monkeys of Europe.

The monkeys of Gibraltar rock are said
to enjoy the rare distinction of being the
only monkeys III Europe not kept in cap
tivity. How did they come thereS This
question used to puzzle scientific men. 1t
was once thought they were the descend
ants of some monkeys that had been
brought over from Africa hundreds of years
since, but now it is agreed that they found
a footing in Europe long, long before Spain
as Spain was ever heard of. Before the sea
wore away the land and made what is cali
ed the strait of Gibraltar, Europe and Afri-
ca were Joined together, and animals roam
ed from one spot to another as they pleased.
When the time came, however, that the
strip of land was at last swallowed up by
the greedy ocean, the strong current pre-
vented creatures that were not at home in
the water from crossing to and fro as they
were wont to do. Among the unfortunates
whose wanderings were thus unexpectedly
cut short were many African monkeys,
and the rock monkeys Of the present day
whose numbers it may be added are
growing less and less-are undoubted de-
scendants Of those prehistoric fellows. OF
course it follows that the Barbary apes

the strait-are the first cousins Of the occu-

They Left Their Tails Behind Them.

Some lizards have a convenient tail.
Grasp it like man of mettle, and it will
remain in your hand. Does the lizard
spend the rest of its life in tailless con-
dition and go about like the fox in the
proverb, preaching the uselessness of tails?
By no means. Like goods sold in a shop,
the lizard is retailed, for a new appendage
grows again in due course In fact, it is
stated that If a lizard only crack its tail
fresh one will sprout out of the crack, and
the animal will then wear two tails at
time, There is a spot in Madeira where the
lizards once went to and fro without tails.
On inquiry it turned out that "middies"
ashore for the day from ships of war that
touched at the island used to frequent this
place and amuse themselves by knocking
the tails from off the lizards.

BRUNSWICK, GA, Oct. 2.-Twelve

ported, 1Owhite and colored. Sixty-fv Q
patients are now under treatment. Sur
geon Murry returned from Jesup and
reported that the autopsy on j. G. War

stay till frost. Four-ffths of the 5000
people here will have the fever before
frost comes. This is no idle statement,
but the result of careful consultation
with the physicians.

A PINCH OF SAND AND A NICE LITTLE DREAM.

the prairies- At first they eat only the
plump young pods, and later the foli-
age also. Though the ground plum
belongs to the same genus IS the locn,
no bad effects follow its use.
Travellers and Indians use the young
pods for food, the taste reminding M
strongly of string beans
Astragalus mollissimus, fortunately,
is rarely, If ever, found on the prairies
of South Dakota. but Oxytropis is quite
common Though in the latter the poi
sonous principlei is less highly developed,
yet it is well to be able TO recognize and
ayoid the plant when possible. 1t
grows in clumps from a thick root. the
leaves are pinnate and silky but less
silvery than those of A~stragalus The
leafless flower stems are erect bearing
crowded clusters of pretty purple or
violet-rarely white or yellowish-beau-
like blossoms. The flowers appear in
the latter part of June and during July
In u latitude, and are followed by
erect, pointed pods nearly IN inch in
length.
As the ''locos" are so widely dis
tributed they would. of course. be hard
to eradicate, though in time when the
prairies are settled up and the wild
grasses give way to timothy, bluegrass
and the c~lovers, they, too. must yield
to the subduing influence of the pillow
