The Feet of chame1eons.

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 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.

A Great Feast.

There has never been prepared at
any feast bigger bowl of punch than
that which was brewed by the Right
Hon. Edward Russell when he was
captain general and commander in
chief of the forces in the Medfterra-
mean seas. 1t was made in fountain
in garden in the middle of four
walks, all covered overhead with
lemon and orange trees. In every walk
there was table the whole length Of
it, and on every table was cold COLA
ton. In the huge fountains We're the
following Ingredients: Four hogsheads
of brandy, eight hogsheads of water,
$4,000 lemons, twenty gallons of lime
juice, 1900 pounds Of fine Lisbon
sugar, five pounds of grated nutmegs,
300 toasted biscuits and a pipe Of dry
mountain Malaga.
Over the fountain was placed great
canopy, while in the midst of this lake
of liquor there sailed little sailor boy
who filled the cups and replenished the
glasses of all those who had desire
to drink. More than 5000 men put in
an appearance at this feast.-London

An EARLY Norman Dinner.

The Saxon dinner arrangements were
orderly compared with those of the
early Normans, when the halls and
passages were frequently the scene Of
free fight between the servants bring
ing in the food and the crowds of hang
ers on endeavoring to snatch it from
them. This nuisance became at length
so intolerable that ushers of the hall
and kitchen We're established by King
William Rufus to protect not only the
cooks bringing in the dinner, but the
guests arriving to partake of it. Upon
the occasion of his great feast at West
minister 300 of these officers were on
duty, some to guard the visitors as
they assembled the steps and others to
defend the threatened dishes.
Such was the uncivilized state Of So
ciety at this period, but when later on
the marauders disappeared from the
great houses it became customary to
carry in the dishes in procession, some
times preceded by music and headed
by the steward with his wand Of office
1t was the duty of an "asseeur" or
placer to arrange them upon the table;
the ewers and napkins with which to
perform their additions were present.

pages, while it fell to the lot of the al

How Men Fall When Shot.

Nearly every one is familiar with the
traditional stage fall, where the victim
of a supposed death shot strikes an at
titude, clasps his hand to his heart,
stiffens every joint and muscle,
breathes Historically and goes down
like a log toppled over from the end.
Another popular yet erroneous notion
is that men shot through the vitals
leap into the air and go down in dra-
matte attitude. Sometimes men are
found on the field in striking positions,
but often an examination shows that
the position was taken after the fall.
AS q rule a man who is hit above the
hips sinks down. The slighter the
wound the more commotion, for the
body instinctively resists, just as it
does when one slips or is pushed or col
lides with some object. But wound
in vital spot weakens the resistance
and men sink at once or reel and tum-
BILE with very little self control.

Crossing the Bar.

Tennyson's famous poem, Crossing
the Bar" was written, says the present
Lord Tennyson, in the poets eighty
first year, ION day in October when
we came from Aldworth to Earring
ford. Before reaching Farringford he
had had the moaning Of the bar in his
mind, and after dinner he showed me
the poem written out" "That is the
crown Of your life's work." said his
son, who was the first man after the
poet to read Crossing the Bar" and
who passed the first criticism upon it
in such fitting and generous language.
"It came in moment" said the poet,
and he explained the pilot as the Di-
vine and Unseen who is always guild
ing us. A day or two before he died
the poet, calling his son to his bedside,
said, mind you put Crossing the Bar
at the end of all editions of my poems."

Paying a 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.

CLAIMS 1000 VICTIMS
TIDAL WAVE SWEEPS OVER
SOUTH SEA ISLANDS.
Several of the lslets Are Totally De-
populated by Warning Elements.
Full Extent of Disaster Not Known.
Survivors Face Famine.

San Francisco, Feb. 9.-News OF a
fearful loss of life in destructive
storm that swept over the South Sea
islands last month reached here on
the steamer Mariposa, direct from
Tahiti. The loss OF life is estimated
at 600 souls. On Jan. IL last, huge
tidal wave, accompanied by terrific
hurricane. attacked the Society isl
ands and the Puamotu group with
fearful force, causing deaths and dew
astation never before equaled in a
land of dreaded storms. The storm
reigned several days, reaching its
maximum strength between Jan. IA
and Jan. IL. 1t is feared that later
edvices will add to the long list of
dead. On Hikoera island, where 1000
inhabitants were engaged in pearl
diving, nearly one-half were drowned.
On an adjacent island, 100 more were
washed out to sea. Makokau and Hao
are depopulated. Conservative esti-
mates at Tahiti place the number OF
islands visited by the tidal wave and
hurricane at eighty. All of them are
under the control Of the French gov
eminent at Tahiti.
The surviving inhabitants are left
destitute of food, shelter and clothing,
all having been swept away by the
storm.
The French government, upon re-
ceipt of the news of the disaster, took
prompt measures to relieve the dis
tressed district and dispatched two
warships, the Duranee and Zelee, with
fresh water and provisions. The 1tal-
ian man-of-war Calabria accompanied
the two French vessels on their err
rand of mercy. AS the supply of fresh
water and provisions was totally ex-
hausted by the storm, it is feared
that many lives will be lost before the
relief ships arrive. AS far as is known
eight white people were among the
drowned. Included in these were Alex
ander Brander, N. P. Plunkett. T. D.
Donnelly and the local agent OF G.
Coppenrath, merchant of Papette.
Added to this number was an I'M
known woman, who committed suicide
from fright.
AS the islands were barely twenty
feet above sea level and not sur
rounded by coral reefs. it was neces-
sary for all the inhabitants to take to
the cocoanut trees when the tidal
wave began to cover the land. These
trees grow to an immense height.

Effort Being Made to Send Hart Up
Under Habitual Criminal Act.
Des Moines, Feb. 9.-An effort is
being made here to make the first ap-
plication of the new habitual criminal
act in Iowa. Frank Hart is on trial
In the district court for larceny, the
accusation against him being that he
stole some chickens. The discovery
was made at the beginning of the
trial that he had served time before
and witnesses were procured to show
this fact. If it can be proved that he
is guilty of felony now, and further
that he has twice before been SEN
fenced either in this state or else
where to terms of not less than three
years each in the penitentiary, he
must be given a sentence of not less
than twenty-five years for this crime.
The law was passed last winter, but
has not been applied in single case
in the state.

Indicted for Selling oIeo.

Des Moines, Feb. THE grand jury
last evening indicted the Armour Pack
ing company here for violation of the
state laws in the sale of oleomargar-
inc. The company has opened agen-
cies here and is selling in nearly all
meat markets. 1t is claimed that,
although the oleomargarine sold is in
accordance with national law, it is
asserted that because it has slightly
yellow color it cannot be sold under
the Iowa law. The indictment was
brought at the instance of the state
dairy commission to test the law.

How Air Acts on mercury.

When the air around us becomes con-
densed-shrinks into smaller volume
it becomes heavier, puts greater pres
sure on the surface of the mercury and
makes it ascend in the tube; then the
mercury is said to rise. When the air
expands-swells into larger volume
it becomes lighter, the pressure on the
mercury is less, the mercury sinks in
the tube and the barometer is said to
fall. Therefore every change Of height
of the quicksilver which we observe is
a sign and measure Of change in the
volume Of air around us.

Sioux City. Feb. 9.-While helpless
an unidentified prisoner was burned to
death at Hornick, Ia, by fire which
he had himself kindled. The man
was a Swede and no one there knows
him. He became intoxicated on the
streets and was arrested by Marshal
Somer. Late in the afternoon smoke
was seen to issue from the jail. Eff
forts were made to break open the
door, but they were unavailing. The
prisoner cried piteously for help.
Marshal Somer arrived, but could not
approach the door to unlock it. Final
ly axes were secured and hole was
chopped In the side of the building.
When the man was reached he was
found with his nails buried in the
crack which admitted little air. He
died from his burns few minutes
later. The man was about forty-three
years Ct age.
