Lizard saved by 1t. wit.

A remarkable story of contest be-
tween a snake and lizard comes from
Greenup, Ky. The contest took place
in a cluster of saplings and lasted for
nearly half a day. The lizard would
lun up sapling clear to the top and pa
tiently wait while the snake wound its
way about half way up the sapling.
Then he would jump from the top Of
the tree to the ground and the snake
would also fling itself from the tree.
both striking the ground about the
same time, but before the snake could
get himself Strengthened out the lizard
which did not have to uncoil, would
scale up another sapling. Then the
smoke would repeat its efforts TO pro-
cure a dinner. The snake, not being
ready climber. was at great disad-
vantage in the contest, and after many
efforts apparently gave it up as fruit

1t is an advantage to a certain class
of overeconomical farmers when win
ter's mantle of snow finally covers the
frost-bitten grass which was left from
summer pasturing. In most cases this
grass while fresh and green was I'M
palatable, but after it was frost-bitten
there is very little nutrition left in it.
The cheapest place TO keep a COW at any
season of the year is in the stable, cut
ting and bringing food to her. Pastur-
ing at its best in summer does not
make as cheap food as cut clover or
corn does. If continued after the
ground is frozen either the cow loses
flesh and fails in her milk or she has to
be fed so much corn that the frost-bit-
ten heritage does not count, and the
COW becomes too fat TO be profitable

INJURIOUS BLACKBoARDs.

the Eyes.
War is being made in some quarters
on the abominable blackboards in use
in public schools very generally, says
the Chicago Evening News. 1t is we'll
esta blished fact that the worst color on
the eyes is black, and even tailors, when
men S clothing used TO be made by hand,
were accustomed to charge more for
making a suit of black clothes than any
other, for the reason that the color was
GO much more injurious TO the eyes.
Experiments in the color Of so-called
blackboards have been made with a
view of determining what color is least
injurious to the eyes of children, and it
has been proved that some shade of
cream white, dead surface of soft,
mellow tint, varied in its degree of
wilderness to suit the quality and guam
tity of light, is preferable to all or any
other. The crayons to be used on such
boards should be of a clear, sky-blue
color, canary orange of a clear, dark
green.
In schools where this modern board
has been introduced in place of the old
black surface, with its white chalk,
there has been not only an improve
rnent in the eyes of the children who
have had to use such boards, but great
increase in the amount of attention
they have given to exercises on the
board, by reason of the greater ease
with which their interest could be re-
tanned. When so much can be so easily

A ''fuss" between the managers of the

likely to eliminate in serious break.
The storm has been brewing for some
time. The Topeka Journal says:
There has been more or less friction
among the board Of managers of the

time, and it broke out afresh Monday
morning when J. A. Days, the free
silver Republican member. presented .
bill at the State Auditors Office for SO,
for services and expenses In connection
with the board, which WAS not audited.
1t seems that Thomas H. Grisl.am, the
chairman Of the board, instructed the
State Auditor not to allow bills of the
other members unless they bore his,

have Grisham's 20. K.'' and when It
was not promptly allowed, Davis did not
like 1t. He now threatens to bring some
sort of an actioa to see il Grisham or
anybody else, can ride on a pass and then
collect mileage from the State for it.
