HUXLEY and Arnold.

Dean Farrar records in his Men I
Have Known" an amusing and perfect
ly good natured retort which Mr.. Mat
thew Arnold provoked from Professor
Huxley, for the better appreciation of
which 1t may be added that the Sweet
ness and light" of which Mr.. Arnold
wrote were exemplitied In his own very
airy and charming manners: l some
times met Huxley in company with
Matthew Arnold, and nothing could DO
more delightful than the conversation
elected by their contrasted individual
tiles. / remember a walk which I
once took with them both through the
pleasant grounds Of Paris Hill, where
Mr.. Arnold's cottage was. He was
asking Huxley whether he liked going
out to dinner parties, and the professor
answered that as a rule he did not like
1t at all. "Ah," said Mr.. Arnold, II
rather like 1t. 1t is rather nice to meet
people," "Oh, yes" replied Huxley,
but we are moi all such everlasting
cupids as you are!"

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 q 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 goring 1t, which
gave the hunter a chance to deal the
animal a blow over the left eye, which
s,osed It. Mr.. Wood thought the deer

watching It's yellow pigment cells, saw
them gradually expand and become
black.
These cells are distributed all over
the body with more or less regularity.
and upon their contraction n ex-

the animal. Thus, If the pigment cells
or chromatophores expand. the prevail
ing color will become black and the
very light spots in the animal dull.
On the other hand, II they contract. n
reverse effect obtains. Exactly how
these wonderful changes In all animals
which adapt themselves to their
environments are produced Is not
known. but 1t Is assumed that certain
colors through the medium of the optic
nerve produce contraction or expan-
sion, and the result Is a protective tint
or one which assimilates that upon
which the animal Is resting. The
eye receives the stimulus or impress

A Cat That Likes Elevators,

The Philadelphia bourse Is the home
OF a very intelligent cat. This tabby,
which Is coal black, without a single
spot upon her, has a fondness for trav-
cling in the elevator. She Is perfectly
at home there. and travels up and
down many times daily. She goes to
the door OF the elevator shaft and
news until the car comes along and
takes her on. The various elevator
men are very careful OF her, for she
Is a great mouser, and in the bourse,
as in other big buildings, mice are
troublesome. These little pests fire.

car comes to the particular story. In
this way she makes a tour OF inspec-
