The Lady of the Like.

"In the Days of Scott there are two
anecdotes about Sir Walter Scotts
children in connection with his poem.
The Lady Of the Lake"
One day his daughter was met by
James Ballanyne, the publisher, in
her fathers library and asked what
she thought of the poem. She replied
that She had not read it and added:
Papa says there is nothing so bad
for young people as reading bad
poetry"
SCOTS son Walter returned from
school one day with evidences of hay
ing been engaged in a fight. His IA
Their asked him what he had been fight
ing about he replied that he had been
called 4 "lassie" and had resented it.
\ little questioning showed that
young Walters schoOolfenows had
nieknamed him The Lady of the
Lake" which name the boy did not
understand except IS a reproach to
his manliness.

BURNING MARTYRS.
Cost of the Funeral Pyres Told In a
Curious Old Bill.

Curious OLD Bill.
\ bill for the materials with which
to. burn Cranmer and his fellow mar
tyrs is probably the most curious and
suggestive document ever presented
for payment. The execution Of Lati-
mer and Ridley took place ON Oct. 1G,
1865, while Cranmer did not suffer
until March 21 of the following year.
The memorandum of the bill is in
Guided u the book which was found
by Strype when he wrote his memoirs
of Archbishop Cranmer' in 1893, in
which the expenses of the martyrs
were entered during their imprison-
ment. This book is probably some
where among the manuscripts of Ok
ford university, now grim matter Of
fact witness to the fanatical hatred of
the day.
The following are exact transcripts
from the bills by the person who had
charge Of the funeral pyres:
Paid for the burning of Archbishop
Cranmer and his two fellow sufferers,
Ridley and Latimer: For one hundred
of wood fagots, 6s.; for one hundred
and half Of furze fagots, IS. i'd; to

CARE OF cHAMELEoNs.
How These Little Creatures Can Be
Kept Alive For Years.

How These Little Creatures Can Be
Kept Alive For Years.
Chameleons can be kept alive for
years by making a frame to fit over a
plant il a fOwerpot and covering il
with mosquito netting. which must be
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 VII drink the running wa
ter after they get over their fear.
Set a wire fy 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 a meal worm oc-
casfonally 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 q warm room.
ChameleOns enjoy a place to sleep in
nights and winters. Take a piece of
red flannel four inches wide and eight
inches long; roll it over q stick as
large round as your finger and sew it
while on the stick so that it will not
come unwound; then slip off and run
a wire through it long enough to sus-
pend it from one Of the branches on
the plant The chameleon will crawl
into this coy bed and go to sleep.-St
NicholaS.

REAL COUNTRY LIFE.
Why the American Farmer Grows Ola
Early In 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 early, 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 8 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, ap-
preaching stagnatiOn, in which he
takes On flesh, gets 'logy," and then a
the spring and summer again. No
wonder that by forty-1ive he has had q
sunstroke and 'can't 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 mfavorable
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.,

GRATING FISH TAILS.
An Interesting Art In Which the Jap
anese Are Experts.

Among the many interesting arts in
which the japanese excel is that of the
making Of fish tails. Almost every one
has seen the bush tailed goldfish, with
its four, five and sometimes more long,
wayy tails, but it is not generally
known that most Of them are not its
own.
When the little goldfish are very,
very young their flesh is as clear as
glass, so that one can see every bone in
their tiny bodies. At this time the few
that are born with two or more tails
are put by themselves, and then
queer looking old Jap, with a great
magnifying glass fastened in front of
his eye and wee sharp tools handy.
reaches down under the water and
cuts off the tails of the plain little fish,
and then three or four of these tails
are joined on to tie backbone where
the one was cat of and fastened there
with tiny bandages until they grow
fast
The Japanese, who are very skillful
in queer things of this kind, grow the
finest goldfish in the world. and it is a
very good business, for very fine. fish
of this kind often bring as much as
5000 to $500, and one sold not long ago
for 81, coo.

The recent decision Of the Maryland Court
of Appeals. In which the acti On Of the circuit
court for Anne Arundel county In granting
temporary Injunction restraining State
Tax Commissioner Buchanan Schley from
continuing his method Of assessing the cap
ital stock Of certain institutions In Mont
gomery county, was affirmed, was, In the
opinion of lawyers here, final disposition
Of all legal questions which can be raised.
and they also say that the further proceed
ings ordered by the court were necessary in
order that a permanent Injunction might be
granted against the tax commissioner.
The decision is, In effect, that Baltimore
city stock held by corporations in Maryland
cannot be credited by the state tax COM
missioner against the assessment on the
shares of such institutions for the purpose
of local taxation, and Its ultimate effect
the state many millions of dollars.
The three institutions In Montgomery
county holding Baltimore city stock are the
Montgomery County National Bank of
Rockville, the First National Bank Of
Gaithersburg and the Mutual Fire 1nsur-
ance Company of SANDY Spring. At present
the assessment against these corporations
aggregates $93 26O. Under the decisions
these assessments will be increased to $472.-

against the First National of Gaithersburg
from $40 1856 to $50. $50 and that against the
Mutual Fire Insurance Company from $37 =
600 to $133 900. This will be q net gain Of
$379,290 In the county's taxable basis, but
