have to scream they might, as you
children say, NEARLY die" laughing
over the way our first railway engines
looked. Little, queerly shaped, puny
things they were. The "Stourbridge
Lion" didn't weigh one-twenty-ffth
part of the weight of an engine of to-
day. and it looked as If people might
well hesitate about risking their lives
behind it. 1t was first used at Homes
dale, in Pennsylvania, and it ran on
wooden rails with a thin layer of iron
on them. People gathered from near
and from far that 9Th of August in the
year 1929. when the little British lion
of iron and steel was to make its first
run, The wiseacres shook their heads
and prophesied all sorts Of probable
disasters, and people said that moth

ride across the bridge spanning the
Lackawaxen River on that thing"
But the little lion went safely over
the bridge and over the eight or nine
miles of track, which was the entire
length of this line Of Railroads.&c.

The American Chameleon.

The American chameleon, a small
lizard (Anolis carolinensis), inhabits
various parts of the Southern United
States. The little animal has the re-
markable habit Of quickly and ccm-
pletely changing its colors, varying
from brown to yellow or pale green
Its food consists of insects. The little
animal is perfectly harmless to higher
forms of life, is often kept as a pet,
and has been worn attached to chain
as an ornament.
The toes are provided with adhesive
pads. which enable the lizard to run
upon smooth vertical surfaces.-St.

Yucatan, fifty years ago one OF the
poorest of the Mexican states, has
become one of the richest. Merida

homes, some of them actual palaces

city. On the north and west, where
the city is growing most rapidly
are the picturesque and prosperous
colonies of Itzimna and San Cosme'
where some of the wealthy families
have their summer villas. Merida
has three prosperous banks, high
standard male and female colleges
35 public schools, night schools a
complete state law school, and a
successful state school of medicine
which for years was presided over
by DR.. ]. M. Tappan, a Harvard
graduate.

places where goods are called for,
there is no further need to pack in
small sizes. The packing and cas-
ing, however, must be extra strong
to cope with the unloading in a
heavy sea into a swaying, heaving
| lighter, which is often the case.
Progreso is really a city of agents
whose principals reside and do busi-
ness in Merida. Through three
firms (names of which can be Sc
cured from the bureau of manufac-
turers) pass all the imports and ex-
ports of Yucatan. The principal i'm
ports for the calendar year 1905
were machinery and hardware, in
cluding railway supplies, corn, -four,
and hay, lumber, groceries, includ-
ing preserves, canned goods, and
cheese, druggists supplies, dry
goods, including ribbons, thread,
and the finer cloths, felt and straw
hats, wines and liquors. During the
calendar year 1904 the total value
of expectation from Yucatan reach
ed the sum of $32,000,OO0 Mexican.
OF this considerable sum about rs
per cent, or $4,000, 200, filters out
of the country again, of which four
fifths is in payment of imported ma
terials, one-tenth is used in impost
duties and payments of interest, and
one-tenth, or over $2,000,000, is
spent by the people of Yucatan in
travel abroad.-Consul Edward H.

love has not seemed to have so mel
lifluous effect on the youngsters as
formerly. They have mostly been
content to sit up straight with moth

tions holding of hands and an occa-
sional sly glance into each others
eyes. Last Sunday night, however,

that may for some reason, possess
her. Down town, making a brave ef-
fort to subordinate her personal in
terests to at least an appearance of
businesslike calm, wisely determined
never to speak of her private griefs
and trials, she chatters lamentably
and loudly. Nor can 1t be denied
that small proportion of unthink-
ing business but by no means busi-
nesslike girls and women do now and
then apparently regard downtown
Office as a first-class place and oppor-
tunity to giggle and flirt.
Unnecessary conversation of all
kinds should, however, be sternly
though unobtrusively repressed by
the business woman worthy of the
name and with her eyes fixed on the
goal of success. A pleasant manner
should be cultivated. pleasant rela-
tions maintained with all In the Of
flee, but even where warm friend
ships exist between different en-
ployes of the same house or organi-
zation the personal element should
be relegated to non-office hours and
seasons. 1t is not necessary to be
severe, harsh, or taciturn In asso-
citation with other workers. But It
is strongly necessary that anything
like gossip or unmeaning chatter
should be avoided at all working
times.
Quiet Woman Gets Best Place.
Other things being equal, the
quiet, reserved business woman
who, though friendly with all, says
comparatively little while engaged
in business. is the one most likely
to reach the top of the ladder. Nor
need opportunities for sympathy and
kindly assistance to fellow toilers
be laid aside,

some one to talk to, who exact SYM

near them, who, failing patient

that the stenographer, bookkeeper,

worry harvest of all their troubles
There are other men-though these
are not so numerous-who must
share their joys with all about them.
