Tho Latest Fad of the New York FASH
ionabls World.


ionabls World.
The newest fad is parlor polo, and
the reader can readily guess its rules
as we'll as its charms. Parlor polo can
be played indoors Or out and does not
require table with a net. Sides hav-
ing been chosen, each player selects
pony, which is a stick with a horses
head, like the hobby-horse of our
childhood The men straddle the po-
MES; the women ride side-saddle or
as they please. Some of the different
colored ponies are considered unlucky
and it is the rule to draw for choice.
The goals are fixed; the ball is thrown
down, and the drivers hit it or at it
with their mallets. The rules of real
polo are observed as far as they apply
to the restricted space.
You will be surprised at the amount
of healthful exercise you can get out
of this apparently simple game. There
are accidents-the slipping of rider,
the falling of q pony, the hitting OF
an adversary with a mallet-that add
to the interest. The scene is more pic
turesuue when the men wear polo cos
tunes and the women parti-colored
polo caps; but this is not required

and almost invariably the question IL

''Why do they polish only the knees

Mentor and guide has to shake his
head, and admits that he does not

the guards. why" he said, Il

statue out there in a jiffy."

The agent went to work with a will
and in a few minutes had succeeded
in taking off the beautiful dull oxy-
dizing from the legs of the statue as
far as the knees. Just then Mr.
Muhleman, the deputy assistant treas.

time than it takes to tell 1t the agent
found himself sitting at the foot OF the

Most of the requests came by mail.
The prince, who had met the auto

president of a society or club of
which he was the guest, and one or
two of those nearest him at table. To
this rule he persistently adhered.
At all the dinners at which the
prince was a guest, in this city and
elsewhere. requests for his autograph
were sent to him in large numbers,
most of them in notes addressed to
him through the presiding officer. Not
few of these requests were made
personally.
The prince always took pains to In

him to explain it to the applicants.
In accordance with the rule he made
for himself, he always wrote his auto

HAS A CURIOUS TRANSFORMATION.
Tho A1olotl Becomes Another Animal
In Certain Localities.

In Certain Localities.
Naturalists have long been familiar
with a newt-like creature, breathing
by gills and lungs both, and inhabit-
ing the lakes of Mexico and other Am
erican waters. This is the axolotl. 1t
was also discovered that in certain
localities this creature, which by the
way breeds freely in Mexico, sheds its
skin. casts off its gills and its tail
fin, develops another color of body and
leaves the water to become a land
newt Under this latter guise it is
known as the amblystoma.
Naturally, the explanation of this
curious Transformation rests on the
fact that the aXolotl is really the
young or tadpole stage of the ambly-
stoma form, but the popularity here
is that in it's first stage it should
breed and multiply and continue to
reproduce axolotls, as if it were a per-
fectly mature animal. The occurrence
Of such cases points out to us one
way in which species can be evolved,
for had we not been acquainted with
the relationship of these forms, no
body would have hesitated to des-
cribe them as two essentially distinct
animals.
Lately it has been shown. says the
London Chronicle, that, while in Colo
RADIO and Dakota the transformation
is complete, in Mexico the aXolotl
| stage is apparently permanent. Here

ment on a living being is typically

Handy Telephone Line.

Geo. Norton was around the city today, seeing his old friends. He reports his camp at Mohawk, Yuma county, in a fourishing condition. George says they are bound to have the luxuries of life down his way, no matter what they cost. But he has a way of doing things so that they do not cost very much.
 Mohawk enjoys very unique telephone system. It is a pri- vate line, too. MT. Norton says that no poles are used, hence no holes were dug. The line ex- tends from Mohawk to Quartz site by way of the King of Ari- zona mine, a distance of 100 miles. Small insulated blocks have been laid along the ground and the wire is strung over them, about six inches above the ground. Wagons can drive over the line without injuring it. Storms and wind have no effect on the system.
 
 MT. Norton declares that 1t is the cheapest line ever construct ed in the United States. The work cost about $15 per mile. The line works perfectly, and is a great convenience to the camp. Citizen.
