PAVING n Call In China.

A Chinese bride called upon foreign
lady, says missionary. On entering
the room she deliberately turned her
back upon her hostess and made an
elaborate obeisance. OF course the for
eign lady was amazed and annoyed,
but she found out the reason of the
strange proceeding afterward. The
brides conduct had conformed to Chi
nese etiquette.
She had performed her obeisance, her
k'o-t-ou, to the north because that is
the direction Of the royal abode. If the
foreign lady was so ignorant as to
stand on the south side Of the room,
that was not the BRIDES concern. She
knew, if her hostess did not, in what
direction to bow her head.

Boiled OYSTERS.

In "Social Life In the Reign Of Queen
Anne" Swift writes to Stella, Lord
Masham made me go home with him to
eat boiled oysters" and then he oblig
ingly adds the recipe: "Take oysters,
wash them clean; that is, wash their
shells clean; then put your oysters in
an earthen pot, with their hollow side
down; then put this pot, covered, into
a great kettle Of water and let it boil.
Your oysters are then boiled in their
own liquor and do not mix with wa
ter"

Settiin. n Bill.

When Andrew Jackson lived at Sails
bury, n. c., he once attended court at
Rockford, then the county seat of Sur
ry, and left without paying his bill,
which was duly charged up against
him on the hotel register, which seems
to have been the hotel ledger at that
time, and so stood for many years.
When the news Of the victory Of the
9Th Of January, 1915, was received in
this then remote section the old land
lord turned back the leaves Of the reg
lister, took his pen and wrote under the
account against Andrew Jackson, Set
tied in full by the battle of New Or
leans.''

The Feet of ChameleOns.

Chameleons, as no doubt readers are
aware, all belong to the old world, and
particularly to Africa. In their tongue,
their feet and their eyes they differ re-
markably from other lizards. Their
feet, though possessing five toes, are
divided into two grasping groups, look
ing like a hand in mittens, and only by
close examination you perceive the
presence of the two or the three oppos-
ing respectively, but SO close together
as to, appear like one broad one.
On the padded soles or palms OF
these grasping limbs you can feel and
see the small-may one say-palpi,
which enable them to grasp so firmly
that it is difficult to detach chameleon
from its foothold. These clinging feet,
together with their prehensile tail, en-
able them to sustain themselves on the
branches in the strongest gale.
