AUTOMOBILES IN NEW YORK.
Growing Hostility of the People to the
Horseless Carriages.

From Leslie's Weekly.
When the automobile made its appear

city streets or the country roads. pedes-
TRANS and occupants of other vehicles
stopped to see 1t pass, and the general sen.
timent was obviously that of admiration.
The apparent advent of the progressive era
Of horseless vehicles was generally well
coined. Now the admiration and interest
Of at least a large portion of the public
have been succeeded by open hostility, and
the recent fatal race in France has tend
ed to increase the antipathy. Motor vehicles
encounter abuse at almost every point and
Of late passive hostility has developed into
active attacks. not only on the drivers who
run their machines at an illegal rate Of
speed, but also on those who adhere to the
lawful limit. This attitude is more appar-

Recently local automobiIlst while passing

whose horses he had frightened. The shot
perforated the body Of the vehicle. but the
occupant was not injured. He brought the
car to stop and. facing about in his seat,
demanded: What are you doing?" The
reply was an invitation to return and re-
ceive the second barrel, which after few
minutes consideration the automobilist de-
cided not to accept. Both drove on and the
incident was closed. Another feature OF the
situation is the hostility displayed by the

The Loco Weed Again.
From the Kansas City Journal.

It is reported by the Greeley Republican
that loco weed Is unusually abundant on
the prairies this year. Loco weed Is a
plant which sets animals crazy, and even
tually causes their death If its use is con-
tinued. But the peculiar thing about 1t is
the manner In which it upsets the popular
idea that animals have an unerring In
stinct which teaches them to avoid all foods
which are harmful When a. horse or cow
has once tasted loco 1t will wander over
the prairies hunting for more OF 1t and re-
fusing to eat grass or any other food.
When an animal has acquired the loco
habit 1t quickly becomes emaciated, and
often 1t runs amuck like a man made
crazy by the use of morphine or whisky.
On the prairie the word '.locoed'' Is APP
piled to men who are intoxicated or who
have lost their minds. and 1t has moved on
to the east, where It Is doubtful IL many
know it's origin.

Birdlikc Reptiles.

The most birdlikc reptiles in the
world are the beautiful iguanas OF
tropical America. The smallest mem,
bcrs of this family, belonging to the
genus anolis, swarm in the bushes anu
trees of the West Indies and in many
points resemble humming birds. Gosse
in "a Naturalist's Sojourn In Jamai,
ca" gives a vivid description Of them
On a bright day hundreds of these
brilliantly, colored creatures may be
seen on trees and fences, entertaining
visitors by their .gambols, leaping from
branch to branch, fearlessly entering
houses and even alighting on indiVidu'
ais. When irritated, they will sudden
ly change their brilliant colors for a
dull, sooty brown.
Analogous to these, but not nearly so
graceful, are the flying lizards of the
old world. With hinder ribs prolonged
to support n parachute-like expansion
these brightly marked reptiles are Of
ten mistaken for birds as they take fly
ing leaps from tree to tree, for they are
thoroughly arboreal.

badness Due to Indigestion.

There seem to lie fewer baldheaded
men than there were years ago." said a
physician. Time was when four out
of five men more than forty-five years
old were baldheaded or fast approach
ing that stage. Nowadays the average
has fallen nearer to two than to three.
whats the cause? l suppose there
are many reasons, but one certainly is
to be found in the general increase OF
outdoor exercise. Nervous disorders
result in the falling out Of the hair and
impaired digestion brings on nervous
disorders. Exercise, as is we'll known,
stimulates digestion, and there above
all else is the secret of preserving the
hair. Keep your digestion in good con-
dition and your nerves will not trouble
you. All the scalp diseases in the cata-
logue are not responsible for as many
baIdhcads as Indigestion

were there every man Of them. The
supper cost BrignOli $500.

A Historic Lemon.

Who ever thinks of connecting such
q commonplace article of diet as the
lemon with the romantic history OF III

was the cause of its first introduction

How Mussels Move.

The general impression is that mus
sells do not move. They fasten them
selves to certain objects or they lie In
the mud and sand at the bottom Of the
water, and there they pass their exist
.ence. In proof of this the fact Is ad-
duced that mussels are at times buried
under the sandy deposit when rush
of water carries 4 lot of soil with It. A
naturalist who has devoted much time
to the study Of these creatures says
that mussels do move slowly, and the
movement is accomplished in the fol-
lowing manner:
The mussel opens its shell and pro-
iects its body to a certain extest from
its projecting case. Then it exerts some
force whereby it keeps the shell above
the soil and uses its body to propel it
self along the bottom just in the same
way as 4 land snake gets over the
ground. If the sand is examined after
the mussel has taken one Of these
!Btrolls, it will be easy to see two paraI-
lei lines caused by the edges Of the
shell touching tie ground.

Snuff Versus Good Humor.

Interesting notes Oh the snuff taking
habit are furnished by the German au-
th0ritics Of the district known as the
Bavarian forest. The men there con-
sumo on an average half pound OF
snuff per day, the tobacco being mixed
with ground glass Ito sting better"
THE people in this district are much
given to violence, and attacks with the
knife are of daily occurrence. For
years the prison authorities expert
enced great difficulties with their
charges on account of their uniform OBJ
stinacy and finally hit upon the plan Of
depriving them of snuff. They say that
after awhile great change for the bet
ter was noticeable, the men becoming
tractable and sensible Of their degrad-
ing inhumanity.
