The Calaveras Chronicle boasts of being the

1t has just opened its forty-sixth volume.
While the Chronicle as its editor observes, may

Birds That Feign Death.

One of the most remarkable devices
resorted to by wild things for their own
protection is that of shamming death
A beetle or spider will double in its
legs and lie as if dead. The reason for
this is obvious. 1t may then be passed
over, mistaken for bit of leaf or stick.
But it is more difficult to account for
this practice in birds.
A moor hen or land rail will feign
death, lying in the hand perfectly limp
and to all appearances unconscious. 1t
has been suggested that the idea is that,
being already dead, the captor will not
trouble to kill them.
More probably it is merely ruse in
the hope that by lying still they may
be forgotten and crawl off presently un-
observed. Another reason is suggested
by the fact that cats and the cat tribe
do not often touch their prey unless it
moves. London Standard.

Purses Swinging From a Chain.

The fashionable girl these days lets
her purse swing from a chain which she
wears about her neck.
The chain must be very fine and the
purse Of silver or gold mesh with gate
top. This idea is more for novelty than
convenience, for a purse dangling from
ones waist is apt to be a trifle annoy
ing. But it is the fashion, and SO the
girls are all doing it, A few of the fair
maids tuck part of the purse within the
belt, as if it were watch.
Many Of these woven gold or mesh
purses re wonderfully beautiful. They
not only have the gold ball top studded
with jewels, but a tiny gem or two
glistens among the woven gold threads
of the purse itself. New York Mer-

HOUSES BUILT IN TREES.
New Guinea Claims the Distinction Of
Furnishing This Unique Spectacle.

New Guinea Claims the Distinction Of
Furnishing This Unique Spectacle.
Man was Individually at one period Of
his existence an arboreal animal. He
had much to do with "the trees Of the
garden" In some places and as repre-
sented by some races he still lives
among them.
The natives of New Guinea climb
like monkeys and travel for long dis.
tances from one tree to another without
descending to the ground. The birds
build little fairylike cabins on the
ground, but the people construct their
houses in the top Of the tallest forest
trees. First a native, having climbed
the great trunk of the teak or cedar or
oak tree he has selected, begins by cut
ting off some Of the branches the right
length to support platform of bamboo
on which his house is to rest. You
would wonder how he could do anything
with the tools he uses if you should see
them. He has no saw or steel edged AK,
but only sort of tomahawk made Of
stone and knives of bone or hard wood.
When, however, he has in some way
managed to get the limbs of his tree so
cut and fashioned as to support his
house, his hardest work is done.
The house itself is soon built and ia
made of bamboo strips and matched
with palm leaves. All parts are firmly
dashed together with strips of rattan
palm, very tough vine, used by the
natives in place of ropes. 1t is not a
large house, though it sometimes con-
tains several rooms, but it is safe and
secure retreat for the women and chill
dren in case of sudden attack by hos
tile tribes.
The house is reached from the ground
by long ladder or inclined plane, made
of woven vines In case an enemy APP
pears the ladder is drawn up, and the
man and his family and the pig are safe
within the house. The elevation not
only secures the household from wild
beasts and from the ants that roam the
country, seeking what they may devour,
but also from disease germs, which, like
those of yellow fever, do not rise above
a certain level. The breeze, too, rocks

the fresh air into circulation, making it
delightfully."- refreshing after the sultry
heats below.
If you should climb the long ladder
and peep in at the door, you will find
the family, perhaps, all asleep or sitting
about the floor eating yams cocoanuts
and bananas, and sharing them with
their pet pigs, parrots or poultry. You
will find there no pictures, toys or play
things, such as even the poorest children
among us possess; no music and no
books, no furniture in the room, not
even bed and no mats on the floor.
Many true built nest is constructed
with more art and is more comfortable
for the little ones who are born in it,
and is far prettier than the rude huts Of
the wild men Of New Guinea.

DESIGNING DOLLS.
A Tiny Miss who Has Made Great suo-
ceaa In Drawing Paper Toys.

cess In Drawing Paper Toys
The hundreds Of people who see their
children playing happily with paper
dolls daily do not realize what a field
for the labors of talented persons the
manufacture of these paper toys pre-
sents. One Of the best known designers
of paper dolls is Miss Marguerite Nc
Donald. She is now young miss OF 10,
but she was only Is years old when her
dolls, whose designing had been her
amusement and play, was brought to the
attention of one of the largest art pub
fishing firms Of the country. The firm
was so pleased with the artistic quality
and original character Of Miss Margue-
rites work that an offer was promptly
made to her for it, and the little girl
found that her play had become profit
able. Since the first of her dolls became
popular, her pretty handiwork has been
much added to, until her doll family is
large and distinguished.
Marguerite is the daughter of a naval
officer, and her home is in Washington,
although she was born in New York.

upon her from the fact that her mothers

In 1141 Stephen was made prisoner,
and for five years he was not restored to
his kingdom. In the meantime Matilda,
the widow of Henry 1, encouraged by
the prelates, landed in England to lay
claim to the throne, and after a great
deal of i'll feeling and much needed as

come quite a large property owner in

succeeded in obtaining recognition as

Marguerite's mother says that when the
young artist was a small child, mere
baby, indeed, she saw pencil one day
and took hold Of it at once as if she
knew how to use it. This fact was so
striking, as we'll as unusual, that her
mother noticed and remembered it, and
felt sure her little daughter would show
talent for drawing when she grew
older. This she did very soon, and her
painted dollies were the delight of all
the children Of the neighborhood long
before they became an article of sale in
the shops. They were comical enough
at first, though from the very start her
originality of design showed itself.
The publishing firm have been very
much interested in the little girl from
the time they saw her first productions.

diamonds, at which you may imagine
she was much pleased Miss Marguerite

English ground. This was in 1901.
In 1895 the crusade was creating
much talk, and Robert, who had ex-
pressed a desire to lead totally differ

could be raised. Therefore William
proceeded to levy ON everything that
