Can it be possible that, in this en-
lightened day and generation, the
following can be true; "a farmer who
prides himself on his shrewdness and
'hoss sense, is looking for smooth
talking individual who visited him
about two weeks ago. The smooth
talking chap came along one day and
asked permission to nail sign adver-
Using 'Yahoo Bitters' on the farmers
fence. Then he offerd the farmer 81
for the exclusive use of his medicine.
1t was so much like finding money
that the farmer took the dollar and
affixed his autograph to a receipt. In
few days the autograph turned up
on the end of a negotiable note for
500. If any of his neighbors bit they
are keeping it quiet, but it is thought
that at least three of them did, for
'Yahoo Bitters' signs are nailed on
there fences ST. Peter Herald.
An exchange gives the following
wholesome advice: Parents keep your
children at home nights. Do not per-
NIT them to perambulate the streets
night after night. Look at the men
and women of to day; compare them
as you know them; are our best bust
ness men and citizens those who were
given their liberty in their childhood
to do as they saw fit; go when they
wished and where they wished2 No
they are those men and women who
when young, were kept busy; their
minds we're always occupied with some
useful and instructive topic. Their
parents furnished them with amuse-
ment and reading which was an in
centive to do and act for themselves.
This is directed to the girls as we'll as
to the boys and remember when you
are old and look back on the DAYS of
your childhood that it will be with
pleasure, satisfaction and gratitude
and not with sorrow and regret.

While going home from church the
other night-for we do go some
times bordering over what we had
heard the preacher say and wonder
ing if we had yet chance to repent,
we came face to face with two of our
young men, no, they were mere boys,
who had their heads aloft and clutch
ed cigarette between their teeth with
an air of Importance that would defy
the nerve of rank of sharpshooters.
Boys, little timely advice: This is
filthy habit and will greatly lower your
reputation in the eyes of your observ-
ers. We notice that in many towns
anti-cigarette clubs are being formed.
Why not try to organize similar club

The late czar was very fond of eggs
and ate large quantities of them. lie
was always on the watch against
poison in his food. and he thought
eggs would be safe from any deadly
drug: he was therefore much startled
to find that by pricking them with a
poisoned needle enough aconite to kill
could be placed in them. The poor
czar never ate in any peace, and the
arrangement for his meals was one of
the most important proceedings of his
reign. When he made the journey
across Russia to reach his southern
palace at Livadia, royal kitchens were
fitted up at intervals along the route
These were conducted by large forces
of picked and trusted servants, who
were on duty for days that they might
merely cook one meal when the roval
train should reach the place. If the
train was little late, and the meal
was not needed, as happened more
than once in the journey, all the work
and waiting went for nothing at one
kitchen, while the next one was hastily
commanded by telegram to move for
ward several miles, perhaps, to meet
the train sooner than had been planned.

A Discriminating Owl.

A Ledyard farmer, eleven miles south
of Norwich, Conn, bagged hoot-owl
with steel trap at his hen-house one
night recently, the biggest, greediest,
most ferocious one probably ever taken
in the county. The bird had visited
his farmyard half a dozen times after
nightfall, and on each visit picked up
one of the farmers fat hens or plump
chickens and went away to hiss hclne
in hollow tree with his prey. Finally
he tackled twelve-pound turkey COB

foe, however and fierce battle en-
sued, in which the turkey was speedily
slain, but the owl was unable to get

Principal Games Which Are Amusing tho

An Italian editor has been investigat-
ting the principal games in fashion in
Europe during the dull weather. He
finds the present craze in England is
clay modelling, the selected victims
and generally misunderstood being Mr.
Gladstone and ''Sir Harcourt." In Bel
gium, especially in the "Roclersclubs," :"
slow smoking races are the fashion.
These lend themselves favorably to

with half an ounce of tobacco, and he

minutes to one pipe.
Leaping beans are the amusement of
Italy and southern France. The in
ventor has had whole fields of them
sown in Mexico and the larvae care
fully preserved. The bean leaps best
on hot plates, but the southerners
paint them as kings and queens and
use little gunpowder. Then the fig
ures go into commissions and the game
is called "L'anarchie."

NATURAL HISTORY TALK.
A Queer Little Animal with Very Queer
Little Eyes.

q NuCcE Win very OueeI
Little Eyes.
There is a queer little animal called
the chameleon who has SO many odd
things about him that it would take a
long story to tell them all. First there
are his eyes. They are very large and
round and stick out like big beads
from the side of his head. And he has
the ability to turn them in all sorts of
different ways, SO as to see all about
him. He can turn one up and the
other down. or one forward and the
other back, and so see the smallest in
sect in any direction. It cannot es-
cape those wonderful eyes when the
chameleon is looking about for a din
ner.
The skin of the chameleon is loose
and he can swell it out into queer
shapes, and he has some peculiar prop
erty of this skin whereby he can
change it from one color to another,
generally becoming the color of the
tree or ground upon which he is walk
ing. Then his feet are of such peculiar
shape that he can easily hold on to the
branches of the trees upon which he is
walking And in this business of
climbing and walking trees he is much
assisted by his tail, which is long and
prehensile like a monkeys, enabling
him to hold on while climbing from
branch to branch.
The chameleon has also a queer
tongue. 1t is nearly as long as his
body, thin and sticky Whenever he
perceives a good fly or bug he darts
out this long, funny tongue and cap
lures his dinner without turning from
the spot where he stands.
This strange little animal lives In,
Africa. For many years little was
known about him, but on account of
his odd traits and queer habits very
curious stories were told about him in
the olden times. And the little fellow
himself was regarded with an absurd
awe. just because nobody understood

Nine. d'Abrantes did not seek her
hero Napoleon on his brief return from

been trying even to her rare mental
fleXibility." She was in Rome during
the Hundred Days, surrounded" ac-
cording to the Nouvelle Geographic

Few and meaGcr, says Temple Bar,
are the particulars which can now be
CLEANED of her later years; there are
hardly any materials for bridging the
gulf between the Partisan queen of
society and the broken-down wreck of
Chorley's lurid sketch.
The revolution of 1890 found her at

1881 to 1885 her memoirs were in course

books and many stories and papers.
some of which appeared in the Revue
de Paris.
Nine. d'Abrantes, reduced to utter

to which they belong They cannot
pin the certified amount of his bank
balance across their breast, but they
can indicate it by their expensive trim
mings and jewelry; and so long as
wealth is our social standard, dress
seems to be very satisfactory token
OF it. And if the leaders of fashionable
society take this way tie whole herd of
fine ladies must follow, for in that So
ciety which calls itself ''good" to dress
as other women do not do is ALWAYS a
legitimate ground of offense. Besides
which, expensive dressing is only a
step in the march of female emancipa-
tion. 1t contains that element of mu-
tual rivalry which is the very condition
of progress, and, though dress is not

to excel in whatever lawful thing we

This charge is SO constantly repeated
and illustrated by the press that it is
worth examining. What is modesty?
1t is ''the tact put before all our per-

ever should be avoided, or not known.
