A Lizard That Dances.

One of the interesting little animals
that lise in far-away Australia is the
dancing lizard. This curious chap lf
about three feet in length and wears q
pretty collar made for him by Mother
Nature. This collar is of q bright red,
yellow and blue mixture and is hlg and
full of frills. He gets his name from
his collar and is called the frilled
lizard. He's not bit pretty and he
has q way of jumping around that
eiyes one q peculiar fright if one hap
D pens upon him suddenly. Although
this irilled chap has four legs he
seem, to like walking and dancing on
his hind legs better than travelling on
all fours. He's as quick as lightning
in his movements, and lives on the
insects that inhabit the trees OF the
thick woods. He could become q
dancing master if he was bigger ana
would conduct himself with create,
ease. We can forgive the trilled lizara q
almost any of his pranks, but we can ;,
forgive him his long name, wnlon IL
chlamydosaurus kiugi. Now, what DC
YOU think of that?

Island, on the Georgia side. With the
aid of good pair of marine glasses
the tower can be described as built oil
stone and apparently hoary with age.
Indeed, the native Georgian has NO
greater pleasure than to pour into the
astonished ears of Northerners the
tale that it was erected by the Spanish
about the same time as the structure
at st. Augustine. But the hard and
rather unpoetic facts OF the case ore
that the United States Government
built the place as o defense against
the British in 1872, tone eighty-four
years ago.
It is termed, in military parlance,
Martello tower. being copied from
similar detenscs erected along the
English coasts when Napoleon was
threatening to invade Britain. The
tower saw some little active service IN
the Civil War. but, of course, was even
then not more dangerous or stronger
than stone dwelling.
At present it is used as reporting
and signal station, aud during the
bathing season it is fayorlte visiting
place for the guests OF the fashionable e
hotels at Tybee Beach, the noted
Southern seaside resort. There are
few objects on our coasts more strik-
ing and picturesque than the tower at
Tybee, and it only lacks few legends
of Spanish possessions, sies'', ETC., to
make it famous.

Be Charitable With Your Wheels.

Mrs. Fawoett has made a suggestion
which, if acted upon, should make the
factory girls OF London bless the day
when cycling became a fashionable
craze. In her opinion cycling would
be for the ,hard-working young female
toilers of the east end not only ar
amusement. but an invaluable means
OF obtaining the fresh air and exercise
of which they are continually IN sucf
need. The girls would like to cycle,
but machines are expensive and be
yond their means. Therefore Mrs,

have made up your mind to what par
ticular trick or tricks you intend to
train him. A man in this business
must be thoroughly posted on the
peculiaritles OF each breed. 1t is bet
ter to take very young dog, say
puppy about six months old, for
pupil. After such q puppy has over
come its at first very natural timldity
it develops an eager desire for romp-
ing and playfulness. Here is the op-
portunity of the dog trainer. he now
begins sort OF dog kindergarten,
utilizing the animals disposition to
play as the vehicle of instruction.
Suppose, for instance, that you
want the puppy to leap through o
number of hoops. He is first taught
to run after ball rolled along the
floor; this any dog will Dc spontan-
eously, and cannot exactly be called
teaching. When the dog has brought
the ball back number of times, and
gets thoroughly interested in the play,
the first active step to make him leap
is prepared. The ball is rolled few
feet from the wall. alongside OF which
is a low, movable partition. The dog
runs in the space between, and, OF
course, must return the same way he
came. AS soon as he reaches the lower
end, one or two hoops or low hurdles
are placed in his way. In his friski-
ness the puppy rarely stops for such
apparent triAes, but, all eagerness to
get at the ball, gayly skips over or
through these distractions. In this
way he is encouraged and taught to
take leaps, higher and higher, through
any quantity of hoops, being rewarded
with bit of cheese or lump of sugar
after any particularly successful per.
formancc. This thing has to be re-
peated almost .innumerable times, till
the dog, at certain word or motion,
executes h S task without the slightest
hes alton or error.
"Now. such thing as this is simply
the A B G of dog education. 1t is a
totally different matter to raake,a dog
perform the most intricate tricks. The
natural position of the animal is rest
ing on its four feet; any trick in
which he is permitted to retain this

feet pretty close together. This ter
rier will roll a bull up or down steep
incline, while standing on it, with
relish, but put his ears back and look
frightened. to death if he is told to
only use his forepaws in rolling it on
the level floor.
"While it is true that almost any
trick can be taught by persuasion, still
it is often nece ssary to use force.
When dog feels or instinetiyely
knows that @halt he-is. being tau sht il
in no wise dangerous. he is very tract
able, and in most cases accomplishes
what his master wishes him to do.
When, on the other hand, you want
him to learn o trick that really in
wolves danger. his dog reason, fully
equal to that of many of the human
race, quickly and firmly rebels. 1t is
really pathetic to see o deg almost ask
you not to let him try such dangerous
experiments. If you persist, then
there is war. Here is where the dog
educator must bring his genius in
play. It is absolutely impossible to
make a frightened dog listen to rea'
son. You must first get him over
his fright and next his sulkiness.
To teach a dog to do the back somer-
sault while standing on the floor is
hard enough, but to teach him to do
the same trick from table or from
one chair to another is still harder.
Force has to be used, and smart cut
of the whip at the critical moment will
do wonders. But it will take very
long time indeed to make dog per-
form my trick that involves danger,
and when he does do it 10 perfection
any amount of credit is due to his
master. A curious circumstance in
this connection is that once an animal
has been taught fearlessly 10 perform
dangerous trick he will seemingly
forget most if net all his easier ones.
Thus, had u litlle dog which finally
succeeded in teaching to do the back
somersault in the most approved
fashion. He would just Us lief do
twenty as one, and did his trick with
precision that was marvellous. To
my surprise, he was unable to do his
former simpler ones, such as leap
through hoop covered with tissue
paper, and other easy tricks.
est is lot necessary and really does
not pay to teacl dogs any tricks that
require force. Ely persuasion you may
get multitude of various ones that
to the public are equally interesting.

legs is comparatively simple, and

of this curious incident are as follows:
The zebra, which was known to be
very savage, was turned out into the
yard, the sliding door between the
yard and its stall being pushed to, but
not fastened by the man whose duty
it was to do so. Sutton was in the IN
ner stall, putting in fresh hay, when
the zebra heard him. He also heard
it trot up to the door, and the next
moment he saw its muzzle pushed
against the crack which had been lett
between the edge of the door and the
post. 1t slid the door back in mo-

Ono of the most remarkable men in
public life at this time is Hon. b. W.
Thompson, of Indiana, ex-Secretary of
the Navy. Mr.. Thompson is now in
his eighty-seventh year, and has been
in public life ever since 1886. This
year he presided over the Indiana
State Convention, and then visited St.
Louis as delegate to the National Re-
publican Convention. In spite of his
advanced years. his mind is still Wig
orous and unimpaired, while his body
retains much of its former elasticity.
He is to-day much stronger than hun
dreds OF men who are twenty and
thirty years his junior and is capable
of doing more hard work. As far back
as 1s40,. when William Henry Har-
rison was candidate for President of
the United States, Mr.. Thompson was
chosen as one of the electors from In.
diana on the Whig ticket. Ever since
that time ,Ke has been factor in
American politics, and has participat-
ed in every political campaign. Mr..
Thompson is six months older than
Gladstone and six years older than
Bismarck, but while these veterans
have laid aside the cares of Office Mr..
Thompson is still actively engaged in
public affairs. On being asked the
secret OF his vigorous health at such
patriarchal age, he replied that he had
never INDUCED in vicious habits or al
lowed himself to acquire taste for in
toxicating drinks. If man possesses
good constitution at the beginning
OF life and docs nothing to impair OF
diminish his physical birthright, in
the opinion of the Atlanta Constitu.
tion, there is no reason why his days
should not be long in the land; mol
has he any excuse, provided he has c
fair amount of brains, for not becom
ing q potential factor in his day and
generation.

TZEW of the thousands of people

across veteran dog trainer who had
Just finished successful European
season. A few questions brought out
rome most Interesting facts relative
to educated dogs and dog educators.
"It is great mistake to suppose,
said this famous dog trainer, "that all
dogs can be made to perform any
trick, however simple, successfully.
1t is equally true-and too much en-
phasis cannot be put on the fact-that
perhaps not one man in every five
thousand is fl to educate dog. You
may laugh at this assertion, but it is
painfully true, nevertheless. First OF
nil, man who intends to be success
full with dogs must really love the AMI
mails. Dogs, far more than any dumb
brutes, are most susceptible to i'm
pressions aud kind treatment. Let g
dog once and fer all understand that
you do not wish to hurt or harm him
and he will amply repay you for your
labor. I would under no conditions
have dog handled by man who did

The poodle then stands on his front

TWO WAYS TO MAKE CHEESE srRAws.

Here are two ways of making these,
according to whether you are making
them fresh or with a piece of paste
left over. Rub together equal weights
of butter, grated cheese and -four till
it is oil like crumbs; season with CO.
yenne or coralline pepper; add as
much raw yolk of egg es will mix it
all to stiff paste; roll it out thinly,,
being careful not to break it; then cut
it in strips three to four inches long
and q quarter of an inch wide. Bake
in q good, but not fierce even till
nicely colcred.
Or roll out some puff or short paste
as thin as possible; allow three ounces
grated parmesan to every six ounces
paste; sprinkle the paste when rolled
out with few drops of lemon juice,
the grated cneese and pretty good
seasoning OF cayenne and salt. Fold
it over and roll out again twice, then
cut it into straws; place these on a
slightly wetted baking sheet, pressing
them we'll on to it. Bake in good,
but not too fierce oven, and serve hot.
Unlike the first, these straws are lot
80 good cold, and should always be le-
heated before use.

One of the worst foes tho rattle

was the antelope. This wary animal,
allied to the deer species, is extremely
timid and go afraid OF man that only
the best hunters could ever bag one.
But they had no fear of the rattler,
and when one of the reptiles was en-
countered it was speedily dispatched.
The method of the antelope in
making war on the serpent was unique
and heroic. The antelope walked
around the snake few times awaiting
"a favorable opportunity. When 1t

of the snake. With movements as

est part of this trick-t that that which
appears the very hardest is for the
dog evidently the easiest. He will get
up with his four feet on ball not
much bigger than an ordinary toy
balloon and roll it everywhere, in

Hints by May Manton.
A NEW coIFFURE.

For those who refuse to give up tho
pretty parting of the hair. the Ma
poleon cue will be permitted. Tho
parted hair is puffed fully over tho
ears and 80 drawn loosely to the back,
where it is braided. The braid is nj
lowed to hang well on the nape of tho
neck, is then turned under, and q
large "cue" bow is placed just where
IL will hold the hair firmly into the
curve of the head. This same bow is
often made SO wide that it shows CO.
quettishly from the front at either
side, as did the bows worn little
while ago on collars. For added
dressiness white comb is set at the
top of the braid, and appears over the
top of the head from the front, giving
the effect of height and the jaunty
touch that has so often been confusing
with the occurrences of the recent
pretty side curls.
