PEDDLERS IN MEXICO.

Why an Old Woman Wouldn't Sell AIl
Her Honey at One Time.
While travelling In Mexico a few
years & / had a funny experience
with a Mexican vender which goes to
show what little business ability the
lower classes have" said E. F. Guig-
non Of st. Louis. II was en- route to
look at some mines away up in the
mountains. At the station where we
left the train to take the stage / saw
an old woman selling some honey. She
did not have more than ten pounds Of
II altogether and as it looked so good
/ wanted to buy ii all to take along with
us. l asked our interpreter to buy it.
Much to my surprise the old woman
would sell him but two boxes, claim
ing that IL she sold il all to him she
would have nothing to sell to other
people, neither would she have any
thing else to do during the remainder
OF the day."

Spearfish, S. D., Dec. 1s.-While re-
turning from a hunt in the valleys
near this city Harvey Wood had a very
close round with a big buck which he
attempted to shoot. He had nearly
reached the city, when he saw in a
deep gulch the head and shoulders of
a deer. He had ten cartridges in his
rifle and fired, at sight, eight OF them,
which seemed to have done deadly
work.
Mr.. Wood started on the run toward
the wounded animal, firing the two
remaining shells on the way. AS soon
as he got through the dense under
brush he found the animal waiting for
a charge, which was made forthwith.
The hunter dropped his rifle and grab
bed a club, and the combat began in
earnest. Several times Mr.. Wood was
barely saved from death by lodging
behind a tree.
In the fight Mr.. Wood dropped his
hat and the buck stopped long enough
to make an attempt at gorihg II, which
gave the hunter a chance to deal the
animal a blow oyer the left eye, which
closed it.. Mr.. Wood thought the deer

FLORIDA LIZARDS.
FACTS ABOUT THE FAMOUS
AMERICAN CHAMELEON.
Description of the Method by Which
They Change Their Hue-A Myster-
ious and an Uncanny Proceeding to
Witness.

These little creatures were about
five incnes in length, of a general dark
green hue shading to gray, assimiiating
the various objects upon which they
rested slowly but very decidedly. l
arranged several little %corals, one
with a white base, another with
a gray, another with a green
and changed the occupants about.
In ten or fifteen minutes thAy
very materially would adapt them
selves to the new tint, though they
never became white, the change then
being merely a fading out of all lines,
leaving the body a faint gray. At
night they become a beautiful green,
winch may be considered their normal
color. The changes made in confine-
nent am confident were not so rapid
as those when lizards were IN their
native Florida, where moisture and hot
Jays n nights gave them the exact
temperature necessary for their best
display.
mere is something mysterious and
even uncanny in watching the change
OF color. When placed upon a green
twig the little creature would imme-
aiately draw itself out, extend its front
ana hlnd legs at full length and become
10 all intents a part of the twig or
branch, SO that it was difficult to dis
unguish 1t. Meanwhile the mysterious
piusn OF green was deepening and
stealing over its back and sides, maxi
ing the resemblance still more strik-
ing. The natural assumption of one
who had given the subject no especial
attention might be that the anolis had
glanced around, and perceiving that it
was presenting a contrast not favor
able TO its personal safety had assumed
a color more protective. In other
words, that there was some intelligent
act associated with the change. When
the little creature was blind-folded it
ssumed the same tint as at night. and
did not change when placed upon the
most striking colors, showing that the
eye was the involuntary medium by
which the different tints were obtain
ed. The act of adaptation is perfectly
involuntary, or made withou. the
knowledge OF the animal, being the
effect which certain colors have upon
the pigment cells Of the animal. At
least this Is the generally accepted
explanation, and the experiments
which have been made with blind ami
mails seem to show beyond question
that the eye is the medilm.
These peculiar changes which are so
well known in fishes and reptiles can
be understood by glancing at the pig
ment cells of a frog. The skin is seen
to consist OF two portions, the cults

a heavyweight, he sought an oppor-
tunity and seized the prongs of the
antlers. The result is told In his own
words:

The arguments for supporting the
statement that we live in a great
try include one based on the statistics
Of rainfall. A recent official document
declares that rain probably falls every
day in the year at one point or another
in the United States. Some of the coun-
tries whose governments make a great
stir in the world might almost be wet
down with a good-sized American
ihunder-shower. WI have territory
large enough for several contemporaneo
Gus performances of this sort. Meas
ured by rain or sunshine. the weather
assets Of the United States at any
given moment are alike munificent and
impressive. As a part OF the cumula-
tive evidence I the trnth of this asser-
ton. it may be said that there is not
a waking moment, in all probability,
in which an umbrella is not being bor-
rowed within our borders, to keep off
the rain or the sunshine.
