Graves In China.

There are various kinds of graves
in China. The graves are dug gen
orally from twelve feet to thirteen
feet below the ground, while, ac-
cording to an old custom, the
mounds of the graves of emperors
were thirty feet in height, those Of
territorial lords Fifteen feet and
those of barons without territories
and of lord stewards eight feet,
while for inferior officials and COM
mon people mounds only four feet
in height were erected. Pines were
planted on the tofnbs Of emperors,
d species Of oak on those of terri
torial lords and a species Of willow
on those of inferior officials. AL
though there are no territorial lords
and lord stewards now in China,
men of high rank still have their
tombs constructed in accordance
with this old custom.

The Feet of Chameieons,

Chameleons. as no doubt readers are
aware. all belong to the old world. and
particularly to Africa. In their tongue.
their feet and their eyes they differ re-
markably from other lizards. Their
feet, though possessing five toes, are
divided into two grasping groups, look
ing like a hand in mittens. and only by
close examination you perceive the
presence of the two or the three oppos-
ing respectively. but so close together
as to appear like one broad one. On
the padded soles or palms of these
grasping limbs you can feel and see
the small-may one say-palpi. which
enable them to grasp SO firmly that it
Is difficult to detach chameleon from

gether with their prehensic tail. en-

CHANGING Tom Reeds Face.

Thomas B. Reed was once the victim
of a printers error the unusual apt
ness Of which. after the first flush of
Indignation had subsidized. appealed so
strongly to his sense of the comic that
he never failed to refer to the matter
with the keenest gusto whenever he
met the man whom he. with the ut
most mock solemnity. always held re-
sponsible for it. The late Colonel John
A. Cockerill's handwriting in the heat
of composition was sometimes liable
to lose itself in an almost interminable
tangle. decipherable only with the
greatest difficulty. On one occasion he
undertook to say that "any one can
see Tom Reed has the face of an hon
est man." but was Mortified when he
opened his paper the following morn
ing and found that the types made him
say that ANY one can see Tom Reed
has face like harvest moon"
