Now and again things happen on the
football field which go to add to the
gayety Of the nation. On one occasion.
for instance, during a certain league
match in the north, the referee some
how managed to lose his whistle. There
was not another whistle to be found,
and # seemed that the game would
have to come to n sudden and inglOri-
GUS end, until the referee hit upon an
ingenious scheme. He produced a
latchkey from his pocket and managed
to tootle merrily enough on # till sud
denly, as he approached the touch line
a woman's shrill voice was heard, ex-
claiming:
Fred, come here at once! Where did
you get that htchkey"
As he listened to the outlaw which
went up from the assembled crowd
that referee was the most sheepiSh
looking man on tho ground. and as he
thought Of the curtain lecture looming
ahead his heart became like lead with
Ia his bOsOm.-LOndOn Answers.

THE AMELEON.
1t Has Two Complete and Independ-
ent Nervous Systems.


There are few instances Of double
birth in which two individuals are in
separately joined together, but among
animals it is a common occurrence. A
case in point is the chameleon, long IA
nous for it's power of changing color.
The nervous centers in one lateral
half Of the chameleon go on independ-
emily of those in the other. Notwith-
standing the strictly symmetrical con-
struction Of the animal as to it's two
halves, they move quite independently
Of one another and convey separate
impressions to their respective centers
Of perception. The consequence is that
when the animal is agitated its move
ments resemble those of two animals,
or, rather, perhaps, two halves of ami
mails glued together. Each half wishes
to go its own way, and there is no con-
cOrdance of action. The chameleon,
therefore, is the only four legged YER
tebrate that is unable to swim. 1t be-
comes so frightened when dropped into
water that all faculty Of concentration
is lost, and the creature tumbles about
as if in a state of intOxicatiOn.
The chameleon, moreover, may be
fast asleep on one side and wide awake
on the other. Cautiously approached at
night with a candle so as not to awak-
en- the whole animal at once, the eye
turned toward the light will open and
begin to move and the corresponding
, side to change color, whereas the other
side will remain for a longer or shorter
time in a torpid, mOtiOnless and I'M
changed state with its eye fast shut

hundreds of handsome homes and
brick business blocks, and beautiful

The Deadly Drugs Have a Fascina-
ton For the WOrkmen.


"Slip on this glass mask" said the
foreman. you will need it"
The visitor donned the uncanny mask
Of glass, and the foreman led the way
to the cyanide of potassium depart
ment.
I'VE make 1000 tons of cyanide a
year." he said. "A dose of five grains
is a fatal one. Thus our annual prod
uct is enough to kill 100000 people"
He opened q door, and a room filed
with writhing flames, dense shadows,
sparks, smoke and weird figures in
glass masks was revealed. In the cen
ter of the room. in a great caldron, 100
pounds of molten cyanide Of potas-
SUM dubbed and seethed. The flames
glinted strangely on the glass masks.
The foreman cOughed.
These fumes" he said, care whole
some. The men, you see, are all rO-
bust. 1 have known weakly chaps,
working here among these strange
fumes, to pick up health and strength"
In another clean, cool room the fin
ished cyanide was stored. 1t looked
like crystallized white sugar, good
enough to eat.
Good enough to eat" said the fore
man gravely. We'll, we have had
men eat it. Four men committed sui
eide in that way.
THE fumes seem to create in our
men a desire to taste the drug. They
| fight this desire, most of them, sue
cessfully, but they all feel it, the same
as workers in coffee plants want to
chew the coffee beans. and some feel
it so strongly as to succumb. Gin

Memorials In an English Church to
Girls True to First Love.
There are seven virgins gaTlands"
still in existence in Minsterley church,
Salop, the first of them bearing the
date 1854 and the last 1T51.
They consist Of silk ribbons and
paper, ball shaped, and are covered
with rosettes, the inside center of the
cane or wire frame supporting a pair
of paper gloves. They represent rO-
mantle custom of very ancient origin
and are sacred to the memory of girls
vino while betrOthed in their youth
lost their intended husbands by death,
vet remained true to their first loves.
Each maiden designed her own gar
land. and at her death this simple EN-
blem was borne before her by the vii
lace Iasses, the white gloves being aft
erward added. After the Obsequies
these garlands were suspended IN the
village church on q rod bearing at its
extremity q heart in the shape OF an
escutcheon, upon which the initials and
date we're inscribed. These were Origi-
nally fixed above the maiden's pew.
Some of the earliest and forgotten
garlands were composed of real flow
ers. but later the covered hoops de-
scribed were substituted.
There is a passing allusiOn to this
"simple memorial of the early dead
in Hamlet" yet here she is allowed
her virgin Grants" Grants" signifying

DIET DELUSIONS.
They Come Down to Us From the Old
BarbarOus Tribes.

They Come Down to Us From the Old
BarbarOus Tribes.
Some diet decisions are of most mod
ern date, while others are OF most re-
spectacle antiquity. Among the latter
is that very ancient survival, the no
ton that particular foods are good"
for particular things or effects.
This is an almost direct descendant
Of the notion, held with greater or less
unanimity by nearly all savage and
barbarOus tribes, that the flesh or Wis
cera Of birds and animals possessing
particular qualities will be likely to
produce the same qualities in those
who eat them.
Thus Nero used to banquet on night
ingaleS' tongues in the hope Of imprOvr
ing his voice, and the savage cut out
and devoured the heart of the bear,
the liver of the buffalo, ETC., believing
that the strength and courage Of these
animals would thereby be transferred
to himself.
1t is probable that the most grew
some of ancestral REORGANIZATION
was largely due to the same belief, al
though, Of course, in Neanderthal days
primitive man would have no more
hesitancy about eating his enemy after
he had killed him than he would ia de-
vOuFing a bear or a deer.
In fact, the early converts Of the
missionaries in the South Sea islands
referred to their favOrite dish as long
