THE CHAMELEON SPIDER.
Strange Insect Discovered in Africa by an
American Traveller.

Strange Insect Discovered in Africa by an
American Traveller.
L. M. Grimshaw, a gentleman Of
Raleigh, S. c., who has travelled exten-
sively, has a hobby for collecting @
strange insects and bugs. ''Of the
whole assortment" says Mr.. Grim
shaw, Il think the Chameleon spider
which | got last summer on the coast
of Africa is the most valuable. The
capture of this insect was highly inter-
esting to me. One afternoon while
tramping along a dusty road l noticed
in the bushes which grew along the
side what appeared to be singular
looking white flower with blue cen
ter. Stopping to examine it, / discov-
cred TO my astonisment that it was not
a flower at all, but spiders web, and
that the supposed light blue heart Of
the flower was the spider itself, lying
in wait for its prey. The mottled
brown legs of the spider were extended
in such way as to resemble the di-
visions between the petals of flower.
The web itself, very delicately woven
into rosette pattern, was white, and
the threads that suspended it from the
bushes were so fine as to be amost in.
visible. The whole thing had the ap-
pearanee of being suspended in the
air upon a stem concealed beneath.
Upon knocking the spider from his
perch into the white gauze net which
I carried, my surprise was greatly in
creased upon seeing my captive in
stantly turn in colors from blue to
white. shook the net, and again the
spider changed color, this time it's body
becoming dull greenish brown. AS
often as would shake the net, just so
often would the spider change it's
color, and l kept it up until it had as
sumed about every hue of the rainbow

condemn drunkenness. which is simply
the result of the excessive use of rum,

crate use leads up to the excess, and
that there is absolutely no way to pre-
vent that excess save by stopping the
sale and the use, even in the most mod

who can use rum in moderation for any
length of time without drifting by in
sensible degrees into it's immoderats

THE FIRST MOTION.

to the waters edge, however, death
has more than once followed because
nobody knew the right thing to do and
no doctor was within quick reach. Here
are few simple rules from the New York
Times that any boy or girl of twelve or
! fourteen can understand and which
should be carefully read over and
learned. 1t may mean life some day,
boys-yours or another's.
Drowning, you know, is suffocation;
the lungs fl. with water and there is
no room for air. So the first thing is
to turn the body on it's face, and then
by rolling it back and forth over any,
thing which will lift the chest off the
ground, spill out as much water from
the mouth and nose as possible. A
barrel is good thing, but barrel is
not on every shore, and another bows
back held in the leap-frog position
will do.
Then put the finger down the throat
and try to get out more water. If the
unconscious boy still shows no sign of
breathing, artificial respiration or imi-
tation breathing should be begun. This
is very simple thing to do when you
have once learned how.
Put the boy on his back with a couple
of jackets made into roll and put
under him to raise his chest up, with
head hanging over as in the picture.
Then kneeling at the head, bring the
boys elbows almost together Just be-
low the chest Press firmly and count
two, then spread out the arms to form
circle, bringing them together again
over his head and count two more.
Back again to the chest, pressing firm
ly, and counting two each time, keep
ing hold Of the boys arms all of the
time just below the wrist
Keep this up constantly till the boy
begins to gasp. One boy can relieve
another, as the motion is tiresome, but
be careful the next boy begins just
where the other left off, SO as not to in
terfere with the movements Don't be
discouraged if no signs of life appear
after long working. Hours of artificial
breathing have sometimes been passed
before the natural breathing returned.
Of course, this knowledge will only
be needed in cases where the doctor or
other person skillful in reviving the

Foung Men Led to Drinking Through See
ing Their Elders Do 1t.
The great moral force of SatOIli's
Iupport of Bishop Wattersons stand
against allowing men concerned in the
liquor traffic to become members of
Catholic societies will do much to make
their employment disreputab bic in the
eyes of all good Catholics. And it
leads us to remark upon the terrible
force of example in fostering the drink
habit. So long as wines and liquors
are allowed on the tables of fashion
able people, so long will there be
drunkards admitted into good society.
So long as fathers Or employees indulge
in the vice of drunkenness, so long
will their sons and younger employees
be in great danger of adopting the
drink habit.
! Nothing is more true than that the
habit of drinking in an older work
man, or in foreman, or in an en-
,ployer. may bring down to the mire of
drunkenness and poverty many of the
younger employees. The genteel tip
pling of the merchant is a danger to
his clerks. The sparkling wine upon
the table of the lady who is leader of
the town may work ruin to hundreds.
Is there not in all these things lesson
for US all to learn? It will not do tn

DESSERT DISH IN VENETIAN GLASS

dessert service in Venetian glass; dec
GRATED in quite new style and made
especially for the queen. The service
consists of two large and six smaller
dishes, each shell-shaped of pale opal
escent pink color, never made before,
mounted with a griffon splashed with
gold, and part covered with what ap-
pears from short distance a square
of reel lace of exquisite workmanship
On closer investigation, however, these
covers turn out exceedingly clever ilni-
tatiOns of lace designs, enameled by
hand, and afterwards fred to render
them durable. The lace design on the
two large dishes consists of connbina-
tiOn of rose, thistle and shamrock,
with a butterfly lowering between the
flowers. On the same dishes the grif-
fon holds a shield on which the royal
crown is enameled in color. Shape,
coloring and decorative workmanship
of those dessert dishes are of the ut
most elegance and dericacy.

Method in Her Vanity.

A well-known aesthetic recently ad-
vised women never to pass a mirror
without looking into it, and observant
persons perceive the wisdom Of this in
junction. When one is shopping, for
instance, full-length mirrors are fre-
quently encountered, and a passing
glance is sufficient to reveal the dis
ordered veil or hat, the strip of braid
torn from the bottom of the gown, the
bow Or founce awry or any other de-
feet in the toilet, and it is then an easy
matter to remedy the shortcoming,
which, neglected, would stamp one as
lacking in proper regard for tidiness.
Therefore, the modern woman glances
into every mirror as she hurries along
and takes furtive peep now and then
into the jeweled glass suspended at her
belt, caring not one whit if some of her
friends deem it vanity, as long as she
is thus reassured of her neat and trim

SAVED BY HIS DOG.

Cruo Story Of q Little Boy and His Noble
Canine Friend.
A great many years ago, on large
sailing ship, going from England tc
China, there was little boy five years
old. He was with his parents and they
hada large dog named Bobby. This
child and Bobby had grown up to-
gather, and although it was very
long journed for dog, they were all
so fond Of him that they could not
leave him at home in England. Bobby
had the range Of the ship, and he and
the child used to play together on the
deck and have great fun with the
sailors.
Everything went on well until they
came near the Cape of Good Hope.
Then one day about sunset the wind
rose and the ship began to roll violent
,ly from side to side. The little boy
and Bobby were on deck as usual
Suddenly the ship gave a tremendous
lurch and the child fell overheard
Bobby was not far behind; he went
over the side like a shot, after his play
fellow.

The Study of Manners.

study of manners. 1t is to be hoped
that other institutions of learning-es-
pecially public schools-will take up a
like course. AS nation we are sadly
- deficient in this respect In attempting
to avoid elaborate and often absurd
ceremonies Of European polite life, we
have gone to the opposite extreme. and,
as consequence, sometimes Americans
of the most refined nature appear rude
and uncouth. We need to know more

THE minimum penalty for serving
drinks on Sunday in western Australia
is fifty pounds. A Ahotel-keeper in Perth
the metropolis, was recently mulcted
in the sum of one hundred and fifty
pounds for illegally refreshing party
of three on the Sabbath, the court re
fusing to regard the three drinks as
constituting a single otfense. Another
curious feature Of the licensing law in
western Australia is that the licensee
must not absent himself from his house
for more than twenty eight days in the
year, except by special permission of q
stlpendiary magistrate, restriction on
personal liberty that has long been the
source of much irritation and indigna,
tion to the trade.
THE most conspicuous object in Amer
lean social and political life to-day is
the saloon. What does it stand for in
it's relation to our interests as citizens?
Is it an aid or an hindrance to the
benefits which ought to accrue frcm
association together as units in one
cohesive life? There can be but one
answer. The saloon lets loose upon
our land forces which, so far from aid
ing US in the preservation of our IN
alienable rights, threaten their total
destruction. The poverty, misery,
crime and desolation of our land NAV
be traced, in an overwhelmingly large
proportion, directly to that source az
it's fountain-head. From those balefu]
doors there issues nothing which tends
to the uplift of society, but rather tc
it's downfall and total disintegration.-

wild excitement. The sailors got down
BOAT as quickly as they could, but it
was now quite dark and neither dog
nor child could be seen. They heard a
faint splashing, however, and pulled
toward the sound, and there was
Bobby with the child in his mouth.
They were both nearly dead when
they were dragged into the boat, and
faithful Bobby sank down into the
bottom Of it quite out of breath. The
men rowe6 back to the ship and the
child was given to his mother, who
took him down into her cabin. Bobby
went too. He would not stir from his
side, but licked the boys little cold
hands and feet till warmth came back
50 them. Then, when the boy had
fallen asleep Bobby lay down and
slept too.
You may be sure that Bobby was the
hero Of the ship after this. Every one
petted and made much of him. but i.
did not hinder them from playing a
very cruel and thoughtless trick, and
one which was very nearly the death
of the poor animal. When the ship
reached the cape the child and his par
ents went ashore in boat, and Bobby
was held back on the ship to see what
he would do. The poor dog was nearly
frantic. He struggled and fought, but
they would not let him go until small
flag was held up as signal. Then
they loosed him, and Bobby dashed
over the side and swan as fast as he
could after the boat. He had got about
half the distance, when they heard him
give loud, shrill howl of distress.
They saw flash ofwhite in the water.
A shark was following the dog, and
there seemed no hope of saving him
from the sharks cruel teeth.
The child screamed: ''Oh, save poor
Bobby! Save dear Bobby" His father
had a gun with him and the boat
waited till the shark came in range.
Then he fred and killed it and Bobby
was saved. They dragged the dog into
the boat. He was nearly lifeless with
fright and hard swimming, and the
sailors on board the ship and the men
in the boat shouted, and every one
cheered Bobby.-Atlanta Constitution.

Nothing too strong can be said
against permitting children to suck
their thumbs Charming and heart
delighting as this common occupation
of the baby is to the average mother,
nothing will more surely ruin the
shape of the hands. It is the cause of
broad, fat thumbs in after life. There
are preparations to put upon the babys
thumbs which will render these rosy
digits less palatable. and after one or
two attempts baby will soon forget the
injurious habit
