THE ODD LITTLE eECKO.
A Qneer Animal That Lives In Africa

A Queer Animal That Lives In Africa
and Southern Europe.
The gecko is an odd little creature
His name Is seldom heard, and his
form Is seldom seen, for he lives In
Africa and the southern countries Of
Europe.
This little gecko has so many strange
ways and there Is something so un-
canny in his appearance that the peo
pie of the countries where he lives are
rather afraid Of him, believing his bite
to be poisonous, although this Is de
MED by naturallsts.
He is a little creature, with broad
fiat head, like d snake, and a long
body, with n narrow tail, with odd
shaped bits of skin arranged like seal
lops along the sides Of It, He has
short legs and queer, catllke claws
which enable him to easily climb the
old walls and rocks upon which he
lives, catching the insects Of various
sorts which make his dinner.
He is q nocturnal animal, walking
abroad at night and sleeping in the
daytime. He moves with sudden
rushes and without any noise what
ever. His odd name was given hin
from the queer noise he makes, which
Is something like the noise you would
make to start horse with. The male
gecko is of gray color, so near the
shade Of the old walls and rocks
among which he makes his home that
he can barely be seen.

MUMMIES.

Some That DO Not Come From the
TOmbs of the East.
Many persons who have an interest
in archaeology will be surprised to
know that all the mummies to be seen
in museums have not been taken from
faraway tombs In Egypt or other east
ern lands. Well preserved mummies
have occasionally been taken from the
ruins of the cliff dwellers In the noun
tain canyons of Arizona and in New
Mexico and southern California. These
mummles, though very poor specimens
Of the mummlfying art, are considered
great treasures by scientists, because
they give the anthropologist a vague
idea of the strange people who had the
earliest civilization on the American
continent The best of them are al
most entirely ignorant of who the
Aztecs and Toltecs were, how they
looked and lived and why they have
been so entirely obliterated from the
face of the earth.
The reason for this ignorance is found
In the fact that no satisfactory remains
of the dead Aztecs have been found.
These people were cremationlsts, and
they probably buried household effects
with the dead. leaving little or nothing
for the scientist to build theory upon.

valleys of Arizona will come upon seal

SIMON MAGUS.
ehe Legend From Which Was Bora
the story of Faust.

tuG HIOTg
Almost every renowned man OF an.
tlquity in the middle ages was believed
TO be attended by spiritus familiaris
and not q few were suspected Of being
in direct league with the devil Proba'
bly, the oldest legend Of which the
Faust legend is a continuous thread Is
that of Simon Magus, mentioned in the
history of the apostles.
According to Justin, he was native
of Clifton, village in Samarla. He
was, no doubt, a man of great intellec-
tual powers. lie was the father of the
school Of the Gnostics. 1t Is also re-
ported of him that he could make him
self invisible that he could pass
through flames unharmed, could trans
pose matter, make gold and exercise
demons-in fact, he laid claim to all
these powers, and his name lived in the
mouths Of the people as a sort OF demt
urge through many centuries until some
other miracle working personality took
his place at the popular fireside. Un'
usual accomplishments, great erudi'
ton, were attributed to the supernatu.
raj influence and the general dlsposi-
tion to supersttious assumption was
strengthened on the one hand by dog
matte affirmation on the part Of the
church of the existence Of personal
Satan, with his numerous household,
and, on the other hand, by incorporat-
ing the magic arts among the practical
sciences, Of which astrology and al
chemy occupied no mean part.

WEDDING SPEECHES.

some That Were Not In the Usual
Conventional style.
A wedding in New York at which the
bridesmaids were representative Of SIX
nationalities and each felicitated the
bride in the language Of her own coun'
try was an odd affair, but probably not
so we'll received as the speech Of a
young Englishman who was called up
on to propose the toast, "The Brides,
maids" Apprlsed Of his ordeal in ad.
vance, he had devised an escape, and
with the single statement that silence
was golden he brought from his pocket
a set Of gold bangles, which he bestow.
ed upon the attendants Of the bride.
At a wedding feast Mt Dol, in Nor
mandy, the demand for speech result
ed in the production of guitar, upon
which the speaker accompanied himself
while he chanted the praises Of the
bride. Had he stopped there all would
have been well, but he changed to a
praise Of his store, and the guests
threw him out Of the house
Doubtless a similar fate should have
befallen the sharpshooter who wrote
the name Of the bride upon the wall
with pistol bullets, to the serious dam
age of the wall paper. Almost as odd
was the performance Of a German mu-
sic hall performer, who, when called
upon for entertainment, mounted the
table upon his hands and balanced him
self upon glasses, cups and other fur
nishings.

She Is SteadfRst In Affection For Her
Children.
The Chinese mother IL very fond OF
her children. She Is happy in their
company and spends much time car
ing for them. In Chinese family the
birth of child is greater event than
with other orientals. Long before the
child is born the mother performs rites
and ceremonies to propltiate the gods
that her child may be a boy. After
birth the little fellow Is wrapped in
old rags and In winter is sometimes
put in a bag Of sand sewed close
around Its neck to keep the little one
warm. Great rejoicing follows the
birth II the child Is boy; otherwise
there is an air of chastened disap-
pointment. But good Chinese parents
make the best of their little lassies,
becoming very fond and even proud Of
them. l have known more than one
Chinese father to exhibit his toddling
wee girl for approval, though always
with the customary national verbal
depreciation Of what belongs to one,
Indeed, this evidence Of excessive
