An Optical Illusion.

An interesting optical experiment
may be made with the ordinary incan-
descent light. Gaze steadily at the
light for few seconds, then suddenly
extinguish it. The experiment is best
performed in very dark room. In
about half a minute you will see the
perfect image OF the light, with the
fine strands of wire plainly visible. 1t
will be red at first. IN q few minutes
it Will turn purple and then a bright
blue. Later it will apparently move TO
the right. As you turn your gaze it
will continue moving to the right. If
You keep your gaze fixed, it will come
back. 1t is surprising how long the
illusion will last. 1t will be seen for
fully five minutes, perhaps longer. and
If you turn on the light and look away
from it you will see the old image for
several minutes. though more family
than in the darkness.

REAL. COUNTRY LIFE.

Why the American Farmer Grows Old
EARLY In Life.
Any one who has lived on a farm
does not need to be told the reason
farmers grow old carly. for he knows
of the strain under which the Ameri-
can farmer lives during the five
months of spring and summer. His
workday is from or in the morning
until or o at night. including chores
fifteen TO seventeen hours of the hard
est kind of physical labor, and every
minute of it at high tension, especially
during harvest. Then comes q period
OF relaxation in the fall. the one time
in the year when he has just enough
muscular exercise to keep him in
health: later, the winter season, APP
preaching stagnation. in which he
takes on flesh, gets .'logy," and then a
furious debauch of hard labor through
the spring and summer again. No
wonder that by forty-fve ne has had a
sunstroke and cant stand the heat
or has "a weak back or his 'heart
gives out or q chill makes him rheu-
matte" and when you add to this fu-
rious muscular strain the fact that the
farmer sees his income put in peril
every season and his very home every
bad year, so that each unfavorable
change In the weather sets his nerves
on edge, it can be readily imagined
that the real ''quiet, peaceful country
life'' is something sadly different from
the ideal.-Woods Hutchinson, NJ. D.,
in Harper's.

UMBRELLA AND SHOES.
Thcir Importance In the Eyes of the

Thoir Importance In the Eyes of the
Indian Native.
India is so vast that different eti-
quettes prevail in different districts.
We have no standard etiquette. no
standard dress. We mostly copy Eu
ropean etiquette while with Europeans
Even a Bengalese shakes hands with Il

vernacular We shake hands with a
European on parting, but by mistake

salaam, SO we both shake hands,
salaam and do the like, and no sober
minded European ever cared for the
anomaly.
The umbrella is the emblem of royal
ty, the sign of rajah, so natives
generally fold their umbrellas before
rajah and not before anybody else,
however great. 1t is not part of the
dress, but protection from the rain
or sun, necessary appendage, just
like the watch and chain. You might

But If he does. no harm. In word.
natives generally fold the umbrella

While going to see a native chief in
his palace the native visitor or official

after the European style. the shoes
are allowed. In some states no ma
tives can go to a rajah without a pu-
gree. In others the pugree is taken
off and tossed at the feet of a rajah.
1t is ridiculous in a European from
the Hindoo point of view to order
native to take off his shoes. This is

RICHMOND I; VAN VERT o.

Van Vert, o., Aug. 29.-Richmond
again blasted the hopes of the local
fans by taking the second game of the
series with the Buckeyes. King Cole
was in the box for the visitors and
opposed to him was Harry Hay, the
lad with the ivory arm and bone head.
Net result-the best, hardest fought
and most interesting pitchers battle
seen at the local lot this season. Hay
breezed eight of the Quakers and al
lowed five hits off his submarine de-
livery. The King only famed one
Buckeye but the smoke ball he served
up was unbiffable. II you viii pardon
the expression. Just four hits did the
'rah, 'rah lad allow and these were
strewn promiscuously about the con-
test, rendering them worthless.
Both pitchers were given wonderful
support in the field, the Quakers ex-
ecuting stunts which made the fans
grind their teeth and grudgfngly APP
plaud. Minzler's play at second base
was the best exhibition seen about
that bag in this vicinity for several
moons. The midget covered acres Of
territory and knocked down three
speed balls which looked good for
hits Wiltermood by a grand catch in
the eighth prevented Van Vert from
tieing the score and, perhaps, winning
the game. With a man on the bags
Wolfe smashed out terrific drive
toward the right field fence. Wilter-
mood with his back to the ball ran to
the rampants, leaped into the air and
speared the liner with his gloved
hand Carlin at shortstop played
grand game for the visitors and again
poled out scorching two-bagger
which assisted in putting over the
pan the one run made by the Quak
ers. Carlin adds a word of strength
to the Richmond team.
How Run Was Made.
In the second inning Jessup, first
up, drew his transportation to first.
Carlin laced out a two-bagger which
put Jessup on third. Hicks grounded
to Foley. who threw Jessup out at the
plate, Carlin going to third on the
play. Minzler then sent up a cloud
teaser, which Carlin scored under.
The inning ended by Fisher expiring.
Hay to Betz and Cole breezing. Um-
pire Gardner made his first appear
ance at Van Vert and his work was
highly satisfactory to both teams. The
score:

Tho Way Judge Thatcher Dodsed
Challenge to a Duei.

Documents in the Congressional Il
brary at Washington show that when
the establishment of the mint was
under discussion in Washington's time
there were some amusing debates in
congress concerning the devices the
coins should bear. There is one ac-
count of squabble over the design
for the silver dollar.
1t appears that a member of the
house from a southern state bitterly
opposed the choice of the eagle on ac-
count of it's being the king of BIRDS

tons and interests We're wholly in

Judge Thatcher in reply had playfully
suggested that perhaps goose might
suit the gentleman, as ii was rather
humble and republican bird and would
also be serviceable in other respects,
as the goslings would answer TO place

How Those Little Creatures Can Rc
Kept Alive For Years.
Chameleons can be kept alive for
years by making frame to fit over Il
plant in a fIowerpot and covering it
long enough to tie with a string about
the pot. Keep the pot in the sunniest
window and water the plant every
day through the netting. You will be
surprised to see how eagerly the little
creatures will drink the running wa
ter after they get over their fear.
Set wire fly trap for flies, which you
can liberate under the netting. The
chameleons will not be backward
about helping themselves.
In winter they do not require much
food, but will relish meal worm &C.
casionally on sunny days. Meal worms
can sometimes be got at the grain
stores for the asking or can be pur-
chased at the bird stores, or small
spiders can be found in cracks and
crannies asleep for the winter They
may be frozen stiff If found out Of
doors, but they revive in a warm room
Chaneleons enjoy a place to sleep in
nights and winters. Take a piece of
red flannel four inches wide and eight
inches long; roll 1t over a stick as
large round as your finger and sew 1t
while on the stick so that it will not
come unwound; then slip off and run
wire through IL long enough to sus-
pend 1t from one of the branches on
the plant. The chameleon will crawl
into this cozy bed and go to sleep.--St
