Cnrious Hahits of Lizards.

The lizard family has many queer
and remarkable habits, but none of
these antics will compare with that
known to the naturalist as shooting
the tail. " All species of lizards are born
towards, but the effects of fear are not
the same among the different members
of the family. AS an illustration l will
say that there is one variety of the liz
ard family (the so called "horned toad }
which, when excited, spurts fine
stream of blood from duct situated
Just above the eye. Another variety, an
inhabitant of Australia NATURALLY blu
ish black in color, turns suddenly
white and appears to be perfectly para
lived the moment it finds itself con-
fronted by real or imaginary danger.
The most curious habit of all, however,
and one which is possessed by a large
per cent of the entire lizard family, Is
that of voluntarily amputating the tail
if suddenly surprised by one OF its many
enemies. The lizards habit of Kidding
itself of the caudal appendage under
such circumstances reminds me that the
lobster always drops or sheds its claws
in the time of thunderstorms In fact,
anything that excites or irritates the
lobster will cause a similar exhibition
of this peculiar power. The lizard
which amputates or purposely drops the
tail when scared does not become para
1yzed, like his Australian brother, but
hurries away as fast as the four legs
will carry the tailless body. The ampu-
tated tail is left to the mercy of the
enemy. 1t lies ON the ground, founder
ing like fish. This attracts the atten-
tion of the pursuer, which makes meal
of the amputated member while the
body is escaping to place of safety

crushed and splintered by the passage
OF the laden wagons from the cornfield.
The orchard was gone and the fences
changed, but the same blue mountains
looked down on the valley in the same
morning sunshine.
Just above the union of the two
branches of the Tuckasegee picturesque
wooden bridge spans the stream, and ON
the arched roadway between the log
ramparts broad patches of sunlight
found their way through the overhang-
ing trees. AT the house just across the
bridge l found namesake and sprung
my trusty camera ON the old lady al
most in the shadow of Shelton noun
tain. A little farther up the east fork
and just below the point of our crossing
was rare old mill built into the bank
at the end of log dam, over which the
sparkling water tumbled and foamed
under the understood wheel which turned
the gearing of the slab covered sawmill
extension.
At cabin met two men who had
been present with the company that had
captured us at Headen's.
Passing the point where on New
Years day in 1864 we came upon the
four dead Watsons with their wives
wailing over their remains, "There,"
said my guide, lust beyond that apple
tree in the cornfield is the place where
you saw the bodies. y

stancn walls and stone chlmneys were
as sound as ever they were in the
squire's day.
Tom Hancock's house, the first we
had entered in the mountains, bereft of
| its twin structure, was no longer shell
| tered by tall forest trees, but surround
ed by bristling cornstalks and hemmed
in by rail fences. An old woman who
| lived here, without pane of glass in
| the windows, allowed us to look in the
familiar rooms and at the blackened
stone chimney where old Tom had
heaped the green wood when we came
at 2 O'Clock in the morning
Cashiers valley today, surrounded by
it's mountain wall, is as little disturbed
by the hustle of the outside world as
Sleepy hollow was in the days of Icha-
bod Crane. No one seems to be doing
any work except the housewives, who
cook and knit and sweep and milk.
Only one buggy is owned in the valley,
and whoever wishes to ride borrows
mule or horse of his neighbor. AL
though the soil is far from strong and
very little of it cultivated, everybody
seems to have plenty of corn bread, po-
tatoes, fried chicken and cabbage. The
land flows with milk and honey, the
woods are full of bacon, and the cold
mountain streams alive with trout
Here and there man has strayed away
as far as Omaha or New York, but in
year or two he is sure to drift back to
the happy indolent life Of the noun
tains. Log fires cost nobody penny.
The mountains, covered with valuable
timber can be bought for 81 an acre,
and SIC is the highest asking price for
cleared land in the valley. When the
young people go as far as the consider
able town of Franklin for better school
advantages, they pay SO and So month
for board.
North Carolina exacts tax of So for
a marriage license, and to avoid the out
lay of this pittance the mountaineers
will tramp so miles down to the South
Carolina line. | heard an amusing story
of "a youthful pair, rich in affection and
poor in money, who were overtaken by
a wag from Cashiers valley as they
were COLuluS uOWu Uuo slOpo VI 1no Diuo
Ridge.
"How far to South ar'lina, capen?"
demanded the eager but weary bride
groom.
"You uns done crossed the line bout
a quarter back" said the Cashiers val
ley man. "Youse plum in hit now.
Keep this yer road bout mile down
into the settlement, an thar you uns
will find preacher by the name of Ben
net, an he don't ask nary cent for mar
ryin folks. I'll just ride ahead all have
everything ready"
Bennett, who had no more authority
to perform the ceremony than he had to
declare war, stood, spelling book i'll
hand, on sandy spot in the road when
the couple arrived, and concealed behind
the fences were several of the neighbors
to witness the sport.
"Jine hands," said Bennett. "Hold

no bride ain t married bein her shoes is

All right, friends. You uns is plum

Mine host Hooper, who had witnessed
the scene, came to think that it was
rather a serious joke and told Bennett
that he had gone little too far. Where
upon Bennett waxed exceedingly wroth
and declared that his reputation was as
good as any mans in the settlement,
and he wouldn' t have his integrity i'm
peached. A week later Hooper handed a
note to the mail rider informing the
happy couple that the ceremony was
fraud, and that Colum Long and Jack
Davis were the practical jokers who had
victimized them. The mail rider found
the girls mother at the postoffice and
left her the maddest woman on Chunky

Safe and simple Well Digging.

A farmer who had experienced 10 lit
tie trouble in getting we'll dug because
of the softness of the soil and the dan
ger of caving has tried plan that not
only works admirably, but is absolutely
safe, and can be carried on by the veri-
est greenhorn in existence. Any man
who knows enough to WELD pick and
shovel can, under intelligent direction,
make a success of well digging. A Sec
tion of sewer pipe about five feet in
diameter was set upon the ground and
over into this the workmen climbed.
A derrick with pulleys and hosting ap-
pliances was rugged over this pipe. The
workmen shoveled the earth into buck
cts, which were drawn up and emptied
on the outside. When the hole was as
large as the pipe, the earth was scraped
out to allow the pipe to settle. This was
kept up until one section was some dis
lance below the surface of the ground;
then another section was added. The
weight of this and the constant Earring
assisted in carrying the pipe down into
the earth as the soil below was removed.
A quicksand that had given serious
trouble to we'll diggers in the neighbor-
hood was reached, and in the most sur
prisingly short time the pipe settled
through it and struck terra firma. Then
the quicksand was bailed out and the
work went on. Of course more or less
Of the quicksand worked in from the
bottom, but by careful management no
special annoyance was experienced. A
ledge Of rock was struck, and this was
drilled through in the usual fashion,
blasting being out of the question, as
that would shatter the pipe. The w II
when finished was over 40 feet dep,
and the pipo was anchored upon fiat
sandstone base. After few days it was
pumped out, and only few bucketfuls
OF said were found in the bottom. Att
er two or three pumpings the well was
entirely cleared, and the supply of deli
cious water was unfailing. New York

Summer In Alaska

One of the pleasant features of the
brief Alaskan summer is the amazing
number of mosquitoes that swarm ev-
erywhere. Miners from the Yukon fields
say they are compelled to wear wells
and gloves when working with pick and
shovel. and at night the tent in which
they sleep must be full of thick smoke
from green logs or wet leaves in order
to make it at all possible to sleep. To
the newcomers the smoke prevents sleep
about as effectually as do the mosquitoes,
and it is almost "stand off, which is
worse. New York Sun.
