THE CHAMELEON.
1t Can Change Form as Easily as il
Does its Color.


The chameleon has for ages been an
object of curiosity, not only on ac-
count Of its ability to change its color
at will, as one might suppose who
had read accounts which mentioned
only that one Characteristic but also
on account Of a remarkable power
which admits of the creature instant
~ changing its form. At times it
takes upon itself almost the exact
form Of a mouse; again, with back
curved and tail erect, it is the exact
counterpart Of miniature crouching
lion, which no doubt gave origin to its
name, chameleon, which clearly
means ground lion." BY initiating
its sides and fattening back and belly,
1t takes upon itself the form of an
ovate leaf, the tail acting as the pet
iole, the white line over the belly be-
coming the midrib.
When thus expanded 1t also has the
extraordinary power to sway itself
over so as to present an edge to the
observer, thus greatly adding to its
means Of concealment. As is we'll
known, the least excitement, as in
handling, will cause a change In the
color. In its normal state it Is Of q
Hight pea green. When excited the
groundwork remains the same, but
transverse stripes, about thirty In
number, appear on the body. These
stripes, which are of a very dark
green to begin with, soon change to
inky blackness. The prevailing idea
that the chameleon takes upon him
self the peculiar hues of whatever he
is placed upon is as curious and wide.
spread as it is erroneous. Placed in
boxes lined with red or blue silk, they
retain their pea green color, with no
leaning toward the brighter hues of
the surroundings.

WOMEN AND HOME.
Moths in carpets-care of Floor Gov.
erinq.

If you fear that they are at work
at the edge of the carpet, it will some
times suffice to lay a wet towel, and
press a flatiron over it; but the best
way is to take the carpet up and
clean it and give a careful attention
to the floor. Look at the cracks, and
if You discover signs of moths. wash
the floor with benZine and scatter red
pepper on it before putting the car
pet lining down.
Heavy carpets sometimes do not re-
quirc taking up every year. unless in
constant use. Loosen the edges. fold
the carpets back, wash the floor in
strong suds. with tablespoonful of
horaX dissolved in them. Dash with
insect powder or lay with tobacco
leaves along the edge. and retack the
carpet Or use turpentine, the enemy
of buffalo moths, carpet worms and
other insects that injure and destroy
carpets. Mix the turpentine with
pure water in the proportion of three
tablespoonfuls to three quarts Of wat

been well swept. 90 over each breadth
carefully with sponge dipped in the
solution and wrung nearly dry.
Change the water as it becomes dirty.
The carpet will be nicely cleaned as
well as disinfccted. All moths can he
kept away and the eggs destroyed by
this means. Spots may be removed
and renovated by the use of oXgall or
ammonia and water.
A good way to brighten a carpet is
to put half a tumbler of spirits of tur-
pentine in a basin of water and dip
your broom in it and sweep over the
carpet once or twice, and it will re-
store the color and brighten it up I'M
til you would think it new. Another
good way to clean old carpets is to
rub them over with meal; just damp
en- it very little. and rub the carpet
with it, and when perfectly dry sweep
over the meal. After a carpet is thor
oughly swept rub it with a cloth
dipped in water and ammonia; it will
brighten the colors and make it look
like new.

Little Hints,

You must remember that neatneSS
and care of your clothes are most i'm
portant if you want to look well as
people with far bigger incomes. When
you buy pair of gloves, sew the but
tons on firmly before wearing them,
as, once lost, they are generally i'm
possible to match. When you invest in
a new pair of stockings, run the toes
and heels with darning cotton, and
they will wear twice as long, and if
washed at home they will last much
longer than if sent to the laundry.
When you take off your hat brush it
well before putting it away in box.
When you take off your gloves pull
them out straight. Do not roll them
into tight, untidy ball.

Tin COOKING Utensils,

Tin cooking utensils are not highly
recommended. Unless very new and
bright, they are not at all desirable,
and in the preparation of many dishes
even newness and brightness are nOt
sufficient to make them allowable.
Very new tin is likely to give a tin
taste to whatever it touches. To do
away with this disagreeable feature
pour boiling water into new tins and
then scour them thoroughly with bak
ing soda.

ON HIS NATIVE HEATH.
Flood Makes the Speech of His Life
to7H is Own Couhtryncn.
fSnocial Disnatch to The. Times)

ARPoMATTox, VA, Sept. 6-The
Democrats of Appomattox were addressed
to-day by Hon. e. W. Hubbard, OF Buck
ingham. and Hon. II. D. Flood, large
crowd being in attendance. Both speakers
were in fine trim. The burden of their
song was the iniquities of the present Adj
ministration, trusts and zimperiali sn, and
the cheers that greeted their remarks
showed that they had struck responsive
chord in the hearts of their hearers.
Mr. Hubard's tribute to Mr. Flood was
very beautiful and was cheered to the
echo. Mr.. Floods speech was declared by
all who heard it to be the greatest effort
of his life Of his many speeches in the
courts and upon the hustings In this, MS
native county, all are agreed that none
compare to it. It is no exaggeration to
say that Appomattox is well nigh solid for
him.
His next appointment is at Botetourt
court, next Monday. where he will engage
his opponent, Colonel Hubbard, in a JOINT
discussion.
