A TRUE CAT STORY.

A family moved to a new home
twelve miles from the old one. They
gave their cats to friend about six
miles from the new home. One of
them, the mother cat,, remained at
her new quarters only short time,
and nothing was heard from her until
this summer, when nearly two years
had passed. One morning she was
discovered in the yard of her old
mistress home in the city which she
had never seen, being born and
raised at the old home in the coun-
try. To the greeting of her mistress
she responded with every show of af-
lection and delight. OF course, the
wanderer was made welcome. She
shows a decided aversion to being
put out Of doors at all, and clings
with devotedness which is really
touching to her old friends. ''Now,"
asks the writer, 'could this be mere
ly chance that pussy in the tramp
life. should find her way to that par
ticular place, or do these dumb crea-
lures know more than we give them

long, and generally curled up in his
mouth; but, when a fly comes in
sight, this long tongue uncurls in a
twinkling and hits the fly. 1t sticks
to the tip Of the tongue, and that is
the slast of the fly. The rapidity Of
the tongues movements is wonder
uful.
The popularity of the chameleon Is
its change of color. 1t does not turn
all colors, only those Of plants
leaves and boughs. I often placed
it on red objects, but it's change
would mot be red, nearer black. The
reason for its changing is probably
this: It is a very weak, defenceless
creature, and is given this power as
means of hiding itself from it's ene-
mics. 1t was exceedingly difficult to
find Jim, even on that small plant,
his color would be so like the leaves.
There was nothing repulsive about
him. He grew very tame, and would
curl up in the palm of my hand and
stay there all the evening. He liked
the warmth-perhaps he was home
sick for Florida.
Poor Jim came to an untimely end.
His mistress went away, the maid let
the fire go out, and the cold killed
little Jim.-Youth.

some Of them straight-that is, of
the same diameter all the way
Through. Others you must make of
a conical shape by cutting away some
of the wood on one side Now stand
the piece of wood on a table, sup
ported, If necessary, and suspend be-
fore 1t at little distance on the side
of the large end of the conical open
tngs piece of paper. This may be
hung from the chandelier, but it must
be low enough to be opposite to the
holes in the wood.
If you now blow through the
straight holes toward the paper it
will naturally be blown away from
you; but blow through the small end
of the conical opening, and the paper
will remain stationary, or may even
be drawn toward you. Try it with a
candle fame and similar result will
follow.
The explanation is that when you
blow through the straight hole the
air current is kept together in a
column and forces the object away
from it. When you blow through the
small end of the conical hole the air
current is spread, or dispersed, and
goes off around the object, leaving it
unmoved.
In blowing very hard, as, for in
stance, if you should use a bellows,
or even with the breath blown hard,
the air back of the wood around the
hole is often blown through the hole,
too, and a return current of air is
thus made to fill the space of that dis
placed, causing the paper or flame to
be drawn toward the hole instead of
away from it.-New York Mail.

How Good Methods Sometimes Work,

John Inglis, the crop expert, Of
Minneapolis, whose crop forecasts
have gained world wide fame for
their amazing accuracy, had been de-
scribing to reporter some Of his
forecasting methods.
"You see," he ended, laughing,
these forecasts don't seem so re-
markable when you once know how
to set about making them. The re-
suit, no doubt, is wonderful enough,
yet the method of obtaining it is
simple.
Simple methods give always the
best results. You know the story Of

DINNER TABLE TRICK.

This is curious little experiment
which will interest everybody at the
dinner table, for it calls for nothing
except what you are likely to find on
the table.
Cut an orange into halves and from
one half remove the pulp leaving the
peel entire in the form of a hollow
hemisphere or cup. With penknife
or toothpick bore two holes in the
bottom Of this cup and put it into a
tumbler, forcing it down about half
way.
The tumbler should be little
smaller than the orange used so that
you will have to squeeze the peel
cup little in order to get it in.
Then it will press firmly against
the glass and stay where you put it
instead of dropping to the bottom.
Put the cup in right side up, that is,
with the yellow peel below and pour
red wine into it. The wine will run
through the holes and you must keep
on pouring until the level of the wine
in the glass just touches the bottom
Of the cup. Now fill the rest of the
glass above the orange cup with
water and await results.
Soon you will see thin red jet of
wine rising like fountain through
the water from one Of the holes. At
the same time, though you cannot see
it so well, colorless stream of water
flows downward through the other
hole.
The two liquids do not mix much,
but merely exchange places, so that

Fancy Feather Farming.

Consul-General William H. Mich
ael, in one of his letters from CAL
cutta, refers to the increased atten-
ton that East Indian farmers are Civ.
ing to the production Of ostrich feath-
ers. He says in his communication
the soil Of India in large tracts is we'll
suited to ostrich farming, quite as
well adopted as that OF Africa or
Egypt. The consul quotes one jour-
nal which says that ostrich farms
could be started on the edge Of the
Indian desert in Sind and in Belooch-
istan, where land is poor and unpro-
ductive, owing to barren soils and
scant, irregular rains, but admirably
suited for the management Of the
birds. The farming could be UNDER
taken by Europeans or native capt.
talists, who can easily obtain the SER
vices of trained men at the same time
that they purchased their ostrich
chicks or eggs.
The demand for ostrich feathers OF
high quality is greater than the sup
ply, and the intelligent farmers Of
the Cape and Egypt make large
money from sthese beautiful orna-
ments, as present producers of South
ern California have. A comparison
of the soil, climate and other physical
conditions in Africa and Egypt, where
the ostrich does we'll, with the same
conditions in part of Southern Cali
fornia, Arizona and New Mexico
would suggest that there is hardly a
limit to ostrich farming In America.

MY CHAMELEON.

Of all the pets with which time has
made me acquainted the oldest was
Jim, my chameleon, a Floridan by
birth, who travelled to New York in
"a mailbag.
A chameleon is a kind of lizard.
Mine was about four inches long.
When he first came, he was a puz-
Zle to me; for I knew not what he
was, how he lived, or on what he fed.
But a letter told me to keep him
warm, and that was all that was
needed.
A florist provided me with a bushy
geranium, and on this Jim made his
home. He would stretch himself
along the boughs where the sun
shone upon him. When he became
tired of that, he would rest himself
by twining his tail around branch
and hanging downward
Generally he made no sound; but
him, he made slight kissing noise.
He was no fighter, and his expressing
pleasure or displeasure aloud was
strange to me. When he seemed to
be feeling a state of lizard content,
his body emitted a, faint, peculiar
Odor.
What did he feed on? Flies and
bugs. 1t being the winter, flies were
few, and I haunted the kitchen and
market-places for them. An offer to
a small boy of a cent for every fly
brought small supply, which Jim
welcomed. The tongue of q chame-
icon is sticky on the end. It is very
