The Chameleon.

A most remarkable creature II the
chameleon. To all appearances the
nervous centers In one iateInal half
OF this animal work INDEPENDENTS of
those on the other, and II has two
lateral centers of perception-sensa
ton and motion-besides the coGlmon
one in which must reside the faculty
of concentration. The eyes move in.
Sependently of one another and convey
separate impressions totheir respective
centers OF perception. The conse-
quence is that when the animal is
agitated its movements resemble those
OF two animals. or rather perhaps two
halves Of animals glued together. Each
half wishes to % his own way, and
there is no concordance of action.

som. DI.raeli Eplxrams.

The following are some of the little

recently collected by an admirer Of
Disraeli:
BE frank and explicit. That is the
right line 20 take when you wish to
conceal your own mind and to con-
fuse that OF others.
what we call the heart is nervous
sensation, like shyness, which gradual
ly disappears in society.
Nobody should look anxious ex,
cept those who have no anxiety.
Women are the only people thut
get on. A man works all his life, and
thinks he has done wonderful thing
IL, with one leg In the grave and no hall
on his head, he manages to get q
coronet; and a woman dances at bal
with some Young fellow or other and
pretsnds she thinks him charming

the Chinese awakening, he said:
"China has for thousands of wears
been highly enough civilized to despise
war. Her newborn respect for war
is not an unmixed good. There ia,
perhaps, a little of degeneration, of
barbarism, in it.
But at least China will no longer

warlike than herself. 1t will no longer
