Lizards Tails

Certain lizards are remarkable for
the fragility of their tails, although
this weakness is not always the draw
back that may be imagined. The dia-
mond tailed gecko, for instance, fire.
quently owes its existence to the readi-
ness with which its caudal appendage
can be snapped off. This reptile, which
will perch upon a rock head downward
and tail in the air, is liable to be preyed
upon by hawks One of these fofInid-
able birds will swOop down upon a
lizard and seize what it takes to be the
head, but is really the tail. The brittle
tail snaps off, and the geckO wriggles
away, not much the worse, to grow an
other.

DUCK THAT EXPLODED.

Gasoline Blamed for a Domestic Mis-
hap in a New Home.
The bride and her husband both hold
firmly to the opinion that the duck real
~ exploded; but the kind dispositioned
friend who sent the bird to them de-
clares that the so-called explosion In
the oven was a fgment Of their fan
cies, says the New York Press. OF
course he is willing to admit that the
odor Of gasoline was there. He tried
to have one of the birds cooked in
his own kitchen in his fiat, and his cook
struck and told him what he needed
was a chauffeur to haste the bird"
and not a respectable Irishwoman.
1t came about In this way: Some Of
BensOn's friends down on the Great
South bay went shooting In a power
boat and had good luck. As the ducks
were shot they were thrown into the
bottom Of the power boat, which, Ire
most Of it's kind, had a liberal quantity
Of gasoline impregnated water sloshing
around between the floor boards. I'm
known to the shooting party the dead
ducks absorbed a liberal quantity Of
that gasoline into their internal econo-
mics. When the bride received hers she
noticed the odor, but attributed it to
the natural gameness of the bird.
After 1t was cleaned and had been
put In the oven the stove began to
send out gasoliney odor that made
it's way into every room in the fiat.
Presently there was a loud report from
the kitchen, which so excited the bride
that she shrieked out at the top Of her
voice. This brought her husband to
the kitchen on the run, to be met with
a hysterical request to see what had
happened.
AS he threw open the door Of the
range the bride flew into the adjoining
dining room, from which place OF safe
ty she waited to hear the worst. Sure
enough, something had befallen the
bird, for one Of It's legs was sticking
down through the opening In thu broil-
er, and, IN spite Of the protests Of Ben
son and his explanation that 1t was
the broiler itself that had fallen down
and caused the noise, that bride is Of
the firm opinion that the gasoline duck
really did explode

In "a Hard Knot Again.

Mr.. Makinbrakes, who was spending
a week in another city, in consequence
Of having some urgent business matters
to attend to, had called at the house Of
an acquaintance
81 declare" he said, sit cures me Of
my homesickness to drop In here and
see a little Of your home life-er-ah-
not that your home life is anything but
the-what I mean, Of course, is that it
makes me banker still more for my own
home-or, rather, that-on the homece-
pathic principle, you know, that hair
of the dog that bit you--which isn't at
all what 1 mean, to be sure, but-when
a man Is lonesome he can enjoy the So
ciety Of almost anybody-and yet that
isn't exactly what what I was try
ing to-because, you understand, as the
poet says, that home, be 1t ever So
so humble, you know-which yours
isn't-there's no place like ones own
Notwithstanding which I've had an ex-
ceedingly pleasant well, must be go

HoNoRs UMBRELLA AND SHOES.
Their ImpOrta1 ce In the Eyes OF the
Indian Native.

Their Importa1 ce In the Eyes OF the
Indian Native.
India Is so vast that different Ell
uuettes prevail in different districts.
We have no standard etiquette, no
standard dress. We mostly copy Euro
pean etiquette while with Europeans.
Even a Bengal shakes hands with g.
Bengal, speaks in English for a few
minutes, and then breaks forth into the
vernacular We shake hands with a
European on parting, but by mistake
again touch the hand to the brow In
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 roy
atty, the sign of a rajah. So natives
generally fold their umbrellas before
rajah, and not before anybody else,
however great. It is not part Of the
dress, but a protection from the rain
or sun, a necessary appendage, just like
the watch and chain. You might as
well ask a European to take off his
waterproof coat. A coolie is not bound
to fold his umbrella when a brigadier
general rides past. But q mental gen.
orally closes down the umbrella on see
Ing his master, whom he considers his
skiing" But no Indian, however hum
bic, ought to fold up the umbrella,
even before magistrate, because he Is
neither the master Of the humble pass
er-by nor his superior officer, nor is he
bound to salaam him. But if he does,
no harm. In a word, natives generally
fold the umbrella before a master or
a superior officer, and not any other
citizen, however great this IS nc
insult.
While going to see a native chief In
his palace the native visitor or official
takes off his shoes if the reception
room has q farash and the rajah is
sitting on his musnud. But if he Is
Received In the drawing-roo7n, furnish
ed after the European style, the shoes
are allowed. In some states no ma
tives can go to a rajah without pu-
gree. In others the pugree is taken off
and tossed at the feet Of rajah.-Civil

And she went Alas, yet another
clergyman caught her eye. 1t was an
old and decrepit one this time, who

Hilda, from her chair by Mrs. Hunts
Mary, viewed the whole episode with
approval. And the image Of the hero
thereof remained in her meLlory when
she laid her head on her pillow that
night. He was not a clergyman, so she
felt she really could think of him with
out harm.

recalled to her. She and her aunt were

AWFUL NEURALGIA
Pain Turned This Woman's HaIH
White but She Was Cured by
DR.. Williams Pink Pills.

DR.. Williams Pink Pills.
Do not seek relief from suffering
simply, but free your system from the
disease which is the cause Of your
suffering. That is the message which
a former victim Of neuralgia sends to
those who are still in it's grasp. Hot
applications, powders that deaden the
senses and others that reduce the
heart action may cause temporary re-
lief but the pain is sure to return WITH
greater intensity.
MRS. Evelyn Creusere, who has >
beautiful home at 81 Boulevard
West, Detroit, Mich, suffered for
years with neuralgia until she tried
this tonic treatment. She saws:
my trouble began about six years
ago and l did not rest as I should
have, but kept UP about nv many
duties. After time l became sc
weak / could not do any work at all
/ had severe backaches and such
dreadful headaches in the back part
and top of my head. My eyes were
easily tired and at times l saw black
spots before them. 1 consulted sew
eral doctors but without the slightest
benefit. The pains were so intense
that my hair turned white.
81 lost continually in weight and
strength and was almost in despair
when a friend recommended DR.. Viii
1iams' Pink Pills. I tried them ac-
cording to directions and soon began
to feel relief. At the end of three
months I had gained ten pounds in
weight and had no more trouble WITH
my nerves. l have been in perfect
health ever since and can heartily
commend DR.. Williams Pink Pills"
