GUARDING AGAINST FROST.

In the orange-growing districts of the
south irrigation affords the most eff
Kecfive protection against frost, while
an sections where this process cannot
zoe employed damp smudge fires. prop
seray handled, are best adapted to gen
.eSral use.
The danger of damage from frost can
EOe materially lessened by placing early
and tender plants on high grounds and
-crests. and harder plants in low
grounds and hollows. When ground can
Zoe selected in the lee, or to the south
and east of considerable bodies of wa
Ter, the danger will be further lessened.
In the dry climate of the citrus fruit
region of California and in promising
fruit districts OF Arizona small and
numerous fires, preferably of coal
burned in iron baskets, have been found
the most effective device used for pro-
section against frost; second in point
OF utility may be placed irrigation; and
the practicable process which affords
the least protection in that respect APP
Pears to be smudge fires.

lief.

In captivity the lizard does well en-
meat diet, but seems to require a
change of food; small PARTICLES of raw
beef every few days appear to contain
nourishment of the right kind when
insect food Is missing.
The scaly and the sand lizards are
the most common of the English liz
ards, and both seem to need the pres
ence of water, yet they like dry quar-
tiers and a cold, wet day will see every
one of them vanish
Lizards are little studied and little
known. In Shakespeare's day they were
branded as venomous and in England
to-day country people hold them In awe.
The forked tongue and serpentine
movement add to the fear an which they
are held.
It is the tongue Of the lizard which
does most execution and secures the
prey of which II is In quest, more es-
pecially flies and spiders, which fall
a. ready victim to its sudden dart; cat
erpIllars are not above the lizards at
tention and small earthworms are a
favorite food, the great power of the
lizard enabling it to force its way un-
der any stones and roots in search OF
food.
The SHINING of the lizard is an event
well worth watching, beginning at the

"Jim" Thompson. One Of his stories
was that he was the man who killed
Mormon Joe Smith an the massacre at
Nauvoo, H., and he never came to the
station without telling of one or more
Indians that he had killed during the
previous weeks hunting. 81 hev got 40
NV the red devils, and need only one
more to make so" he said TO Jim"
Thompson one day as he held up for
inspection an old blanket with bullet
hole in it in evidence Of his latest
slaughter. Now, it happened that to-
ward evening of that day company i,
of the Third cavalry, which had been
out on a scout, rode into the station TO
camp for the night, and Jim" Thomp-
son conceived the idea of having some
fun with old man Alternately. So he
set up a job with Lieut.. King, the com
manding officer, and n sergeant and
file arrested the old man and conveyed
him TO the lieutenants tent.
"Mr. Alternately" said Lieut.. King
as the frightened old Indian killer ap-
peared before him, 81 have been sent
out by the government to apprehend

"Swar mel swar mel" shouted the
old man as he fairly quivered will
terror, and with due soiemnity Lieut.
1 King administered the oath.
"Mr. Officer, swar before Gawd the

Needless to say, Alternately, the In
dian slayer, was not prosecuted an.
further, but never afterward did h
entertain the station with stories abou
his prowess.

Thames May Run Dry.
Mr.. McDougall, of the London county
council, is afraid that the Thames will
run dry. owing to the dams that are
being built in the upper reaches of the
river. Whereas last year $40, goo, 900 gall
Ions of water n day passed over Ted
dington Weir in May, and apo, 900 900 in
June, the figures for this year are $780,
100000 gallons in May and 10000, 900
gallons in June. In one day of July
only 142 100000 gallons flowed over. 1t
is feared that the result may be an
epidemic of disease. arising from the
undiluted sewage of the city.

In Cove and Logan counties there is
at present q contest between the local

And this reminds us, says the Kansas
City Journal, that once upon a time
Cove county had a citizen,who held up
his good right hand and made oath that
he believed himself TO be the biggest
liar in whom God ever put the breath
of life. His name was Alternately, and
he was well known in the buffalo-hunt-
