A Bit of English Humo..

An English humorist many years ago hit upon a neat way of scoring against certain politicians of the times. A comic journal, not being a newspaper within the meaning of the act, was pro- hibited from giving news, and so in place of parliamentary report the humorist is question reported a few first lines" from speeches by promi- nent members: 'Sir Charles Wetherell said he was not sensible''- "Mr Hunt was entirely ignorant Lord Ashley said he should take the earliest op- portunity of moving'- "Mr. Perceval presented petition praying'- Colo nel Sibthorpe never could under stand"- ''Lord Lyndhurst said he must entreat of every one to give him credit "Sir Edward Sugden was not one of those who thought "Mr. Croker said he had the fullest assur- ance"-

The aueer Chameleon.

There is nothing in the world will in- duce a chameleon to take even the slightest apparent interest in it's sur roundings unless 1t be the sight of what it considers a toothsome insect The chameleon's method of taking its prey is very curious, being effected by shooting out an enormously long, wormlike tongue, the end of which is clubbed and covered with a viscid se- erection, to which the insects stick and are thus dra VII into its mouth. The ac- tual projection of the tongue is made with marvellous rapidity. The eyes of the chameleon are very curious. They are very large, but, with the exception of small opening in the center, are covered with skin. They are also en- tirely independent of each other, with the result that occasionally the crea- ture is looking forward over its nose with one eye, while with the other it is intently watching something directly behind if

INCREASE OF TARIFF
 ON GLOVES OPPOSED
Duty is in Some Cases IFS Per Cent
 Over the Levy in DingIey Bill.
Bridgeport Merchants are Writing to COngreSSmen and Senators and En. listing Aid of Newspapers-What the Tariff Costs Women.

Bridgeport merchants are in arms against the proposed tariff increases on articles of household use, and especially against the increase in the tariff on gloves. which. in the new bill ranges from 37 per cent. to 12S per cent. hipher than under the Dingley bill.
 A well known and leading Bridge port merchant said this morning. in a talk with a Farmer reporter:
 When in defending his tariff bill MT. Payne was trying to find excuses for raising the duty on women's gloves to $4 a dozen. with extra fine for extra lengths. he said:
 "'Women could get along without the kid gloves or fewer pairs of them, use silk gloves and cotton gloves and all that sort of thing. They could keep their hands warm. although they could not cover their pride
 Gould they? Wool is a good ma terial for keeping the hands warm; on knit goods of wool a woman will pay from 33 cents a pound duty up to A cents d pound and 55 per cent. ad valorem; if she tries to economize by knitting her own gloves and mittens she will pay from 271s cents a pound and 25 per cent. added up to 3S1a cents and 40 per cent.
 Cotton gloves MT. Payne. would not satisfactorily warm either the hands or the pride. but they are not too poor to pay tribute. Silk looks better. but silk yarn is to pay 30 per cent; spun silk, in skeinS from 20 cents 9. pound and 15 per cent up to 60 cents and 15 Fer cent. The knitting needles pay p per cent.
 Probably MT Payne would not speak of stockings as a luxury to cover women's pride.' though you can- not always tell what man will say when away from home influences and trying to explain a tariff bill. or the stocking bill Marshall Field & Co. in circular say:
 "A group of hosiery manufacturers have received a 20 per cent. increase over the 60 per cent. rate, making total of 80 per cent. against foreign goods This would exclude all foreign 25-cent hosiery and would enable do- mestic manufacturers to raise their prices proportionally.
 ..Women have been getting along without because of increased cost or living Cor some years and they are tired of it. Such taxes are not merely protective but are almost proh1blt1ve. They do not mean revenue for the Government but privation for the con- sumner and plunder for combining man. ufacturers.
 Reduce the cost of living. Tax wealth. not poverty.

that these suits were not commenced until after we had exhausted every possible effort. in a friendly way to cause these defendants to realize our position and to appreciate the fact that they were violating our rights in sell ing or using tire preparations which are broadly covered by our patent, and which were neither made nor author ized by us.
 We wish to most emphatically deny any statement to the effect that we are or ever have been prosecuting bi- cycle dealers in Bridgeport or any, where else.
 We call your attention to the fact that these suits were not started in Bridgeport until after several years of actual infringement of our rights. We will now carry them to the highest court. if it is necessary for us to do So.''
 The statement is signed by Oliver CGban2, Jr.: president of the company.
 A meeting of the bicycle dealers was held last night in rooms in the Sci snti- fic building. Thaddeus E. Peck ad- dressed the assemblage. Steps were taken to try test suit. under which the rights of all may be determined.

era.. Worth More Than Gold.

When is glass worth more than gold When it is the lens of a microscope The record increase in value of the manufactured article over the raw ma terial is probably made by this variety of glass which multiplies itself 5O,OOO.- GOO times. The front lens of a micro objective costing about $5 weighs no more than about .o017 of a gram; hence the value of such lenses to the weight of a kilogram would be about $3.OOO,- 900. The cost of making this weight of glass is to cents, and thus when worked up into the shape of lens the glass has increased in value about 5O,- GOO, ,OOO.-Chicago Tribune.

Woman. Right. In Burma.

The Burmese woman must make an excellent wife. A Singapore paper says that her highest ambition is Ito main tain her husband in lordly idleness and to supply him with abundant funds for cockfighting, bullock cart racing and gambling. And many of the Burmese women do big deals in timber, buying up in advance the paddy" crops of a whole district, and so on, on a scale that requires big financiering.
