Hill Talks.

Former Senator Hill after the nomina-
ton reiterated his determination 20 re
tire January ]. In speaking Of the nom
nations he said.
4 need not tell you what you are all
familiar with, what the Democrats Of
this state know-that there have been
some divisions and differences through
out the State in the past. This conven-
ton marks the close Of all differences
previously existing. Hereafter our at
Jacks VIII be made upon the common
enemy, and not upon those in Ou- own
Cam..
ITO bring about this result has re-
quirCd sacrifices by some individual
Democrats IN the county of Albany who
have exhibited their loyalty TO our cause
| by agreeing that this is not a time
/ 70 exploit personal grievances, but 70
do that which strikes them as the best
! and the highest thing TO DO. This ticket

Perhaps the most miserable and un-

IS the Hypurina, and it is looked up to

For she was Just as chic and sweet

inches With this on my study table
l have a good opportunity for watch
ing the five interesting inmates as
they eat and sleep, Two are males
and three are females, easily distin-
guished by their color Their color
seems TO be influenced by the condi-
tions Of the atmosphere. After q
rain or when they first come out OF
their hiding places in the morning,
many Of them are very dark. BY
holding them in the hand a short time,
the color changes very perceptibly,
When my pets are ready to 90 to
bed, they dive into the sand, where
they remain covered up until morning.
Then here and there a head bobs up,
and gradually the saurians either
stretch out on the sand or prop them
selves up on their forelegs in n most
comlcal manner. They soon become
alert, and show how keen their appe-
tltes are If flies, crlckets, grasshop.
pers. or katydids are thrown to them.
Frequently, when one has seized a
particularly fat grasshopper, another
will attempt to take it away They
are also fond of reaches, but care moth
ing for hard-shelled beetles. They will
not seize an insect unless It is moving,
and one often knows when the attack
is to be made, as the lizard opens its
mouth just a little way before spring
ing upon its prey. 1t uses its tongue
with the same agility as does the
frog or toad, and gorgos a large insect
pretty much the same way as a snake
swallows toad.
In burrowing in the sand they make
several strokes with the right or left
forefoot, changing from one to the
other; but when this dirt is to be
worked out Of the way. they use their
hind feet with alternate strokes with
great rapidlty. The female in this
way evidently digs into the ground.
where she deposits dozen or more
white eggs. which she leaves for the
warm earth TO hatch.
