MAGAZINE REVIEW.
The ELUSIVE chuckwalIa.

The ehuckwalla is one OF the most in
terestirfg of the creatures TO be found
In southern CALIFORNIA; great desert.
Writing in Suburban Life for November,
George Wharton James, the famous Cali
fornia author, says: THE chuclSwalla
seeks to escape his adversary by crawling
into a creyice Of a rock so narrow that
il seems impossible TO get him out. l>ut
the Indians have learned all his tricks
and how to eircumvent them. To the
desert aborigine, the chuclSwalla is az
alluring as acknowledged chicken is SAID
to be to the circuit.riding Methodist
parson. He feasts on the chuckwalla,
hence he grows wise as to its habits. He
takes a piece of strong wire, or a bent
twig, and, poking 1t into the creyice, he
taps the ehuckwalla on the end of the
nose In a moment the angered reptile
exhales a kind Of hiss, the noise being
made by rapid expulsion Of the breath.
As he thus exhales, he loses his hold on
the rocks, and in moment the Indian
pulls on his tail. As speedily as fash
of lightning the chuckwalla inhales again
and tighens himself in his recess. An
other tap ON his nose. and then exhala-
tion;-so it goes until at last the Indian
has him in hand. Then he cooks him.

Once Boston School Teacher.
Mrs. Julia A. Fletcher Carney, who
wrote Little Things" and Deal Cen

at Galesburg, ILL., She was eighty five
years old. Crs Carney wrote Little
Things" when she was primary scaool
teacher in Boston, in 1913. The first
verse was written as an exercise in
shorthand, in which it was suggested
that the shorter the words the better
the results. Mrs. Carney then penned
in stenographic characters this verse:
Little drops of water,
Little grains of sand,
Make the mighty ocean
And the pleasant land.
A Sunday school paper called upon
her that same afternoon for some verse,
and she added three stanzas to the
shorthand exercise, and the four have
been ever since known TO all primary
school children by whom it has been
used as an exercise.
Little Drops Of Water" is by no
