LIZARDS IN a TRANCE.
One Medical Authority Regards It as a
. Kind of Hypnotism.

: Nina OF Hypnotlsm.
! An English scientific journal has re-
celHed an interesting communication on
the subject of the SO called "deati1
feigning INSTINCT of certain reptiles.
The correspondent, who writes from
Syria, says that when certain species
Of Egyptian lizard is captured it makes
few vigorous efforts to escape, and
then, if held firmly, falls into limp,
motionless state, which might easily
lead an inexperienced person to think it
dead. The animal, however, is simply
in trancelike condition. e:
Gentle respiratory movements are
visible just behind the shoulders and
sometimes show "a rising and falling
rhythm with short intervals of complete
rest. The eyes remain wide open, but
are commonly half closed, and the lids
wink slowly from time to time spon-
; taneously Or by reflex action. The
mouth is almost open, sometimes wide,
sometimes but little, and in either case
the jaw is quite rigid, and if closed by
force is apt to reopen when the pressure
is withdrawn. The limbs lie extended
and semlf1accld, with some approach to
catalepUic condition. e., if bent or
stretched into position not too strained,
they maintain such positions when let
go-'and the same is true Of the trunk
and tail
A pin may be run through a fold Of
the skin without fully arousing the ami
NAL, sluggish, feeble wriggle being
the sole result The trance usually lasts
about five minutes, when the animal,
by brusque effort, assumes its normal
position This done, it lies quite still,
but evidently awake and observant for a
few moments more, and then scuttles
off in a hurry.
DR.. Van Dyck looks upon this mani
festation not as voluntary or conscious
death feigning, but as form of hyp-
notism. The natural enemies of these
lizards are foxes, jackals, martens, birds
of prey and snakes.
"Can any one believe,' asks DR.. Van
Dyck, THAT any one of these animals,
having captured a lizard, would be in
the least inclined to let it go because it
lay motionless and apparently dead in
the captor's grasp? Or will it be argued
that the trance condition is a special
gift in mercy to the victim, to mitigate
or abolish the pain of de:.th?' "-Pitts-

HOW TO TELL A BAD EGG.
An Infallible French Method Which Re-
quires Only a LIGHTED Candle

All AuId1lDlo FrenCh Method Which Re-
quires Only a Lighted Candle.
When one calls for fresh egg in a
Partisan eating house, the chances are
that one will be properly served. Not
that there are no bad eggs in Paris as
well as elsewhere, but there are certain
men employed at the central markets or
halles whose only duty is to sift the bad
or doubtful eggs from the good ones In
one of the cellars of the hal]es one sees
a man passing his hands rapidly before
his eyes and in front Of lighted candle.
Around him are baskets containing
thousands Of eggs. His duty is to sepa-
rate the bad ones from the good, and he
is remunerated at the rate of IS CEN
times, or Is cents, for 1000 eggs.
He accomplishes his work with ex-
traordinary dexterity. With one hand
he takes three Or four eggs and brings
them to the exact position he wishes be-
tween his eye and the lighted candle as
if by magic. For an egg to be good the
part that appears black must be COM
pletely detached from the part that ap-
pears white. In other words, the volk
and the albumen must, through the
transparency Of the she'll, be seen to be
quite separate. The white looks as if it
radiates about the central nucleus, and
this nucleus is simply the embryo of a
chicken, which being denser, floats in
the liquid which nourishes it. When
there is confusion between the trans
parent and the obscure part, the egg is
doubtful.
To sort eggs out quickly requires a
long experience. The selection of winter
provisions is an especially delicate task.
In addition to reporting on the freshness
Of eggs, these operators in the central
markets also examine the size Of eggs.
Those that pass through certain sized
ring are put on one side as too small.
The employee separates eggs merely by
touching them. AS the French markets
are flooded with the produce of tiny Ital-
ian chickens, the task is often a very
long one.
The men are all sworn in to do their
work honestly, and with their serious
and automatic look they make between
81. so and So day. The other employees
Of the halles bow down to them and are
ever willing to acknowledge their scien-
tific superiority. -Philadelphia Times.

j. r. WATKINS.

In the year 1868, Mr.. J. R. Watkins first began
the manufacture of DR.. Wards Liniment. For
years he struggled along with limited means,
striving with all his powers and at times despair
ing of success, but at last established living,
paving business, and made the name cdr. Ward's'
a household word in thousands of homes. Dur
ing all these long years of toiling and waiting,
Mr.. Watkins little thought that men could be
found so lost to every principle of right and
Justice as to undertake to despol him of his bus
mess, and themselves to attempt to harvest the
fruits of his lifelong labOrs. However, in this
matter he learned that he was mistaken. In
various parts of the country, sprang up bogus
agents offering medicines said to be DR.. Wards or
"iust as good as Dr.. Ward's," frequently leading
customers into thinking they had the genuine
article Therefore, in order to protect his bus
ness and the public from being imposed upon,
Mr. Watkins bought from Richard Ward, the
world wide right to use his name as trade
mark for full line of medicines, and caused the
same to be registered in the u ). Patent Office
No. 1856.
All customers are hereby cautioned to see that

ADELAIDE AND EToN ROY.

A contemporary Of Good Queen Ade'

ten story: The queen had invited few
Elton boys to lunch with her. Eton boys,
as we know, frequently improve the shin
ing hour at a pastry cooks shop In
Windsor High street and are thoroughly
welq conversant, through a special famil-
iarity, with the prices OF the different
dellcacles. Sweets were served in due
course at the royal table. The queen no
ticed that one boy refused the first tart
lets handed to him. (which would you
prefer" she asked. His glance turned to
another dish. "The fourpennies, your
majesty~ he replied, eagerly.
I believe It ds d fact that our own
dear Queen Victoria when a little girl
was asked to spend the day with the
Dowager Queen Adelaide, and when told
she might herself choose treat on the
occasion begged earnestly to be allowed
"to clean the windows" and that the
treat was Immediately granted her.-The

DESTROYED "A BUST OF BISMARCK.

"A little boy has been brought up be-
fcre Berlin magistrate charged with
having played with and destroyed the
PLASTER cast of bust of Prince Bismarck
Damages were claimed to the extent Of
1000 marks. 1t seems the bust had been
forgotten during removal from one studio
to another, and the accused, with some
companions, had been accustomed to play
with fragments from this atelier, and
when 1t was closed got in through a
window, took out vwhat they believed to
be an old useless bust, set 1t up in a
nelghboring garden, and played Aunt
Sally with 1t. The magistrate, as the
child was too young to be responsible,
decided that his mother should swear that
she was convinced he did not intend to
do any harm, that she did not believe
he was the one to take the bust out Of
the workshop, nor to prevail on his COM
panions to- destroy 1t. II the mother
will not take this oath she will have to
pay 700 marks, at which the cast has been
valued.-Lon1o Ion Daily News.
