A Hodgepodge of Fashions

:“M ALWAYS think the fal-lals @ﬁ\ c?f dress offer .grfaat temAptaU\ ¢3/@ tion to the ordinary woman. \Et\v As a matter of fact, a great ’\E ;‘j‘;\‘ deal too much money, out of a small dress allowance, is squandered on the .trifles of a woman's wardrobe, and although getails are very important, I advise beople to be careful in the selection thereof. . : : There is a type of woman who is always buying trifles, and yet is' never teally well-dressed. Her boxes and drawers are crammed full of different kinds of collars (half of which she does not. wear), tulle bows, crushed flowers, remnants of chiffon, "waistbands, sashes and a hundred and one accessories without which she woula be a great deal better dressed. If you would be well dressed never huy much at a time, unless, of colrse, you have a very liberal dress allowance. - °

Do not, I implore you, always be fired _by the desire for change; althou%h you can accomplish this if you get one frock.at a time instead of three. - : .

, I know that fal-lals are very tempting, and have a great deal to be said “in their favor. If you want to smarten a home-made shirt there is no doubt that Lhe ,ready-gnade. dainty collars and cravats will be of great assiStance to you, but do not buy them. unless vou intend to wear them at once. Use them and wear them out; do with two instead of half a dozen, ‘?or these trifles to look well must be fresh; it *is waste of money to buy them.if you are going to let them lig about and get crumpled. -Such details as collars, tieg, cravats, veils, tulle and chiffon bows, ruffles, stoles, berthes, sleeves, sashes, ete,, are but fashions of an hour; they require wearing with care and discrimination, a few times ironing, and then the rubbish basket! It is’the same with artificial flowers; when fresh and S - : ' &'\\ 325 o geoes ';e»‘f E fedses tn M $- r‘ ‘4‘s“ “"'1,,_,9 BT ND < AR ARG s -N, TR H e L 7508 URR S\ NS DR ¢ gome e };M \‘\‘\i‘\ YIS, F ,f@\l ) ~"'”/,' > /!ﬂ} "8 Rl Q\.ﬁ/’n :l,’"ﬂ‘\\\)’ ‘ﬂ; L 2 SN AN, v 4 ""\;/,'_Jv‘ }‘l, r s ;,s\/'/ f } j; ”.l’.' . % u 1 / :l[ . ./”//,_ By -/ / : i e A DAINTY VIYELLA BLOUSE. : i really good they look charming, but directly they get a little passe nothing is more tawdry. Fashion to-day decrees, and very rightly, that though our blouses and skirts need not exactly match they must be in. harmony. ‘That ‘is to say, with a gray cashmere of crepe de chine skirt we may wear a blouse or picturesque; bodice’ made of lace, but connected in some way with -the skirt.

We may not wear a black skirt and a cream lace blouse, but if we don a pale green cloth skirt we may wear a pale green chiffon blouse. We hear of the ready-made black silk skirt, and we realize that it is 'a most useful stand-by in our wardrobes in cases of emergency, and if we have a variety of black t=ouses they are all very well, but they will-not do to wear-with our pretty, dainty lacy tea-jacket; such a combination looks exceedingly commonplace, and the little coatees at once

FASHION GOSSIP OF PARIS

ARlS.—There is no doubt : that over here we are very historical in our fashions. The leading couturieres, for weddings and such like gay .- occasions, certainly adhere : to what is generally known as the picture style of fgock; that is to say,, some special period is taken, buﬁ improved, embellished and brought up to modern requirements by the skill of the -present day experts. Parisian couturieres are more or less always faithful to the fashions associated” with the days of Louis and of Jbsephine. In the Treturn to the old-fashioned chines, both for liningsandunderskirts, and,‘indeed, for entire gown as well, we G /,7/2;"’7‘“\, [ R N S I ot A AR Iy il o i e O & ﬁ.‘%,‘f”:; AT, =5 = = ‘_:‘:‘"{.".'l VU Vi ~ A & o \\.".\: :‘} Q\;_{/‘;,l"‘.. : 3 ‘*l%&z{f%, 0 ’.ﬁ" :/! / @\,”QA ’ . ’1 V»" y /4‘ 'y‘ & ) sz’l%’} 7141 lASS Yy,;/ i T A 7 A /a@/ 1 T A W ot bl 4 f . ..

These have been worn. in the coiffure for some time past as well as on the debutantes’ ball frocks; they-now have a revival on the early spring millinery. Then they have been copied in the little straw roses which have been a feature of the new flat plate-like Parisian chapeau. In some of the old brocade evening dresses we see a revival of the Louis

appear to have been manufactured out of sale remnants. | . Personally, I always think a compromise in these matters is a mistake, and the best plan is to_turn a toilette de reception of some lacy confection into a five o'clock picture gown, teagown, or whatéver you like to call it. There is a great fancy this season for the cream under-dress, covered with black Chantilly, black net or some other soft, light black fabric. Nothing is more useful than this and the same idea may be carried out with coffee lace over white which, in my opinion, is prettier still. ( A ‘careful planning of these slips with overdresses will be quite certain to ensure your having gowns suitable for many occasions, both for afternoon and evening wear. And with the pres-ent-day fuller skirt, in souple fabrics this is an elegant as well as a useful fashion. The old-fashioned shawl can be turned into very pretty evening wraps. This is an excellent way, top; of utilizing a wedding veil. I have known a Paisley shawl made into quite a charming garment affer this wise.

women nowadays will give the necessary time or trouble to- the wearing of a shawl; it is, therefore, better to have it made up into a wrap. The lace veil or shawl can be lined with chiffon; a lining of soft satin could qlsp be added for the sake of warmth. If this be frilled and trimmed with chiffon the effect will be charming. The possessors of good lace must exercise their ingenuity in making up their valued possession to avoid cutting it; it is worth a little trouble, for it offers great possibilities for a summer opera cloak. We now hear and talk of the tiara hat, which simply means a toque of flowers standing up rather high in tiara fashion, the crown being filled in with tulle or chiffon. Such headgear is rather trying and the picture hat which affords some shade to the eyes is infinitely more becoming. ‘Dainty blouse modes are almost innumerable. Two pretty, and comparatively inéxpensive models are shown in the -illustrations. - One is of silk, with collar and front of lace, and undersleeves of net and lace. The tabs and sleeves -are edged with chiffon ruching. L : ! - The other is of Viyella of a floral design, with narrow bands of guipure insertion arranged in a becomfng manner. ' é’ i | iThe rage for taffetas increases, and therelis nothing so desirable for a really smart gown. It is supple, drapes gracefully, and yet has a crisp freshness, which makes it an ideal material for fan-reluches, gaugings and tuckings. - , Some mew thin velvets are also very popular and they are likely to be worn until quite late in the spring. s : ELLEN OSMONDE.

XVI. period; this pointed corsage effect also appears in many of the reception frocks, showing the ‘velvet cutaway habit coat with a velvet or plain cloth skirt. These coats are lined with old brocades, and very often have revers of the same brocade or of embroidery, finished with an old lace jabot—this quaint little accessory nearly always accompanying the coats of that period. . The pointed waistba.ngs now in vogue appear to be develofing into the corsage and are ‘quite as intricate to make as the old court bodice; in fact, some of these waistbands are veritable court bodices, fitted and boned with extraordinary skill. _ ¢ TFoife de soie, crepon de soie, eoliennes, crepe de chinq, and chiffon voiles will be the leading fabrics among the hundred and one soft materials which are daily making their appearance and are indicative of early spring fashions. For practical and tailor-made °walking frocks, canvases and hopsacks of every description will be used in addition to cloths; some spotted® and checked alpacas, too, will be among the novelties, whilé the most' popular tweeds are of a rough and hairy description. . Fex =t Taffeta will be used as a trimming on almost all the smart gowns and wraps; it is of a softer make than ever, and is treated in a variety of subtle and fascinating ways. There isa pleasing revival of old-world colors in these taffetas, including a vieux rose and a real lavender shade. These are quite charming, especially made up into toilettes de reception, the skirt slightly full round the waist and falling in graceful folds, with a &shortwaisted bodice and boned corsage, finished. with an old-fashioned lawn fichu draped across the bust. Taffeta is a lovely and quaint material, which is always rendered more becoming when softened with lace or embroidered lawns, which are in keeping with the period when taffeta was first introduced.

-RUIN OF SOCIAL HOPES. Aspiring Family Tries to Butt Into ‘ Society, But Missed the Goal by : a Small Margin. Having made $3,000,060 in the mining business Mr. Nibsley’s wife and daughters convinced him that he ought to establiT his residence in New York, so that they might get into society and perhaps in time attract the attention of some foreigner with a title, says the Chicago Record-Herald. Furthermore it would be so splendid to get ahead of the Holtons. Clara Holton, the mean thing, looked down on the Nibsley girls because her father had become rich three years before Nilssley made his strike. i : By mandpulating a corner in wheat Holton had -cleaned up fully $2,000,000. Of course Nibsley’s mining venture had turned out .a million better than that, but even in the west the ones who have been rich the longest are the ones who have the greatest social prestige. ;

So, as Mrs. Nibsley and her fair daughter figured it out, going to live in New York and getting themselves recognized there was the only means whereby they could hope to eclipse Miss Holton. : i

Humboldt Nibsley' was a good husband and 4 kind father, and he readily consented, therefore, to do all that lay in his power to help his womeén folks to come -it over the Qlolton girl. -In good . time it came to pass that -he placed the matter before a certain New York real estate firm, and in the short space of six weeks glad tidings were, received. An' option haa been secured on. a building lot that was only 167 feet from Fifth avenue. It was.ouf of the question, the gentlemanly agents wrote, that a man with only $3,000,000, who was not related by mar lage to the nobility, could come to New York from the west and have a place on Fifth avenue itself. .

But to ge: within 167 fcet of the social center right at the start was a triumpi ¢f no small proportions. The agents were directed to close the deal at once, and joy reigned in the Nibsley household. The ladies planned to travel in Europe while the building was going on, and they hoped to be able, when they returned to bring at least one or two titled gentlemen with them to look their new home over ang¢ inquire into papa’s assets and liabilities generally. :

For ‘six months joy—supreme joy—was theirs. They had met an English earl, a German count, three French marquises and so many Russian princes that they had quit counting them.. They had sent postal cards home from the Riviera and had been photographed in gondolas with St Mark’s' in the background. Social triumph was almost within their reach, when lo! their air castles went down in heaps of unlovely ruins. Also their New York castle, into which they were getting ready to move, ceased to fill them with joy. Old man Holton had bought a place that was only 16315 feet from Fifth avenue.

Thus the Nibsleys missed the goal by three feet six inches, and Clara Holton continued to keep the point of her nose high in the air. . Truly the way to social glory is a way ,of many slips and' dreadful uncertainties. n REMEDY FOR PNEUMONIA. Something That Is Simple Yet Has Been Known to Work : Wonders. At the board of health office a small lot of circularsiare beirg handed out to those interested, and, because of the announced value of the cure for pneumonia, it is herewith printed, says the Newport News. “Take six to ten onions, according to size, and chop fine, put in a large spider over a hot fire, then add about the same quantity of rye meal and vinegar enough to form a thick paste. In the meantime stir it thoroughly,: letting it simmer five or ten minutes. Then nput in a cotten bag large enougn to cover the lungs and apply to the chest as hot as patient can bear. *“ln about ten minutes apply another, and thus continue by reheating the poultices, and in a few hours the patient will be out of danger. This simple remedy has never failed to cure this too often fatal malady, wusually three or, fdur applications will be sufficient, but continue always until the perspiration starts freely from the chest. . .

“This simple remedy was formulated many years ago by one of the best physiclans New England has ever known, who never lost a patient by this disease,’ and won his renown by saving. persons by simple remedies after the hest medical talent had pronouncea their, cases hopeless. “Personally I can say I know of thres persons who were saved by the rem=dy last winter in this city, after then physicians had given them up to die, and if a record was made of all simllar cases during the last six years they would fill'»a good-sized volume. Dr. J. Q. A. McCollester, one of Waltham’s oldest and best physicians, states that he has used this remedy for several years With success in every case.” Apple Soup. Put four cups of peeled and quartered apples over to cook, with water to keep them from scorching. When mushy rub through a sieve, add a pint and a half of water] three tablespoonfuls of swgar, a pinch of salt and a little cinnamon. Thicken very slightly with cornstarch. Dried plums, prunes or cherries may be soaked over night, then cooked in the same way.—Washington Star. Corn and Tomato Soup. Cover one pint of tomatoes-with a quart of water, add a pint of corn, 'an onion and a spray of parsley. Simmer half an hour, add a tablespoonful of'flour rubbed in a tablespoonful of butter, and press the whole through a puree sieve. Return to the fire, add a pinch of cloves, a teaspoonful of salt and a dash of cayenne. Serve hot.—Good Housekeeping. Use a Fork. Ice cream is eaten with a fork in America, in England a spoon is used. With ail deference to English customs, a very safe rule is, eat nothing with a spoon that can be taken with n fork.— Boston Globe. g

CARRIED FREE OF POSTAGE

Arguments of the Protective Tariff League Are Distributed at Public Expense. ;

The Sioux City Tribune is in receipt cf a postal card from the American Prot,(%c—tive Tariff league containing the following: : “Dear Sirs Under separate cover, we beg to hand you our first document for the presidential campaign of 1904, entitled, “Why First Voters Sgould Be Protectionists.”” llf you should need additional copies for your personal use fdvise us. If youcan consistentiy use the|following notice cof the document, No. 45, we should be under additional obligations, Ypurs very truly, “AMERICAN PROTECTIVE TARIFF LEAGUE.” 2l G

The Tribune has |also received the ‘“separate cover.” Ik came from Washington, with the fran‘ik of Congressman J. T. McCleary, of Minnesota, and on the left-hand ¢orner of the envelope is printed: “Part of the Co‘pgrpssional Record: Free.” The contents of the envelope was a pamphlet of 32 pages, purporting to be a copy of a speech deiiveréd by Congressman McOleary in tlﬂe house on the subject of “Why First Voters Should Be Protectionists.” i :

This speech, it is needless to say, was never delivered infthe hopuse or anywhere else. It got into the Congressional Record through th'? usual request for “leave to print.” ° Ithhad no right, other than that establils}xe: by partisan usage, to become a part-6f| the Congressional Record; it hasno I'i%ht to circulate in the United States mails free;, except the ‘righé conferred by p{artisan might. The object of Congressman MecCleary in gett(i_ng “leave to print” is perfectly plain now. He was asked to doso by the tariff league in order that the people of the United state_s, regardless of party, could be compelled to pay the expense of carrying !trﬂxe league’s literature in the mails. . The league is rich, butitis also thrifty when it comesto saving postage bills. It is likewise consistent in doing this brazen tjhing. Its command to the American pe-?plé‘ has always been, “Pay, pay, pay,” and why shouldn’t they pay postage bills as well as tariff subsidies? It is to be hoped that when the first voters receive these documents they will not overlook the object lesson contained in the graft worked upon the country. They can ask themselves if it is a respectable c#use tHat resorts to petty trickery to compel the government of the United Staté;s to pay Itz postage bills. It is not a public enterprise in which all people are interested; the people as a whole ari not concerned with missionary work of a politica: character among first voters’; it is no part of our government to further such business. This is supposed ti be a government of all the people—republicans, democats, populists alike. And here is alittle band of plutocrats, made rich by tariff favors, and representing n,!ot even the republican party, as it is understood by most republicans in the west, getting a congressman to help»ﬂhem work a graft to the end that they be spared a little private expense in fur*hering their own interests. | § o

CURRENT POLITICAL NOTES. ——The would-be benefi¢iaries of the ship subsidy scheme must be pained to think that, with ’?all the “graft” that has been distributed within the last few years, they are about the only ones that have got left.—Binghamton (N. Y.) Leader. : . ' ——Speaker Cannon rapped the house to order when the members cheered and applauded the mention of his name in connection with the presidential nomination, but he took plenty of time and handled the gavel lightly.—Chicago Chronicle. J ——The little ructions that will arise within the democratic fold in such times as these.should alat¥m neither the'timid mugwump nor ’chi;i inexperienced democrat. A very littleknov/ledge of political history will suffice to support the statement that such manifestations usually precede a democratic tidal wave and are a sign of health and not of decrepitude. —Saratoga Sun. 1 , ‘ ——The evidences of harmony in New York should and will encourage the democrats in other states to get together. They will spell hope to them and induce them to go strenyously about mending their own fences. | So long as there appeared to be a lack of unity among the emﬁirg state demct:rats the inducement was lacking to thpse of other states to do their best. Now, however, that it appears that they ?n count upon their brethren in New York doing their full duty, democrats everywhere will feél like exhibiting the same spirit.—Pittsburg Post. | . :

SOME STEEL-TRUST PRICES.

American Goods Disposed Of in Canada at Prices That Are : Un-American.

Once more the Iron Age contairs information that will increase the uneasiness of the “stand-patters” on the tariff question. If the republicans do notsoon adjourn their congress they will be compelled to recognize the rapidly growing sentiment in favor of a do-something as against a do-nothing policy on the tarift question. Items like the following from the Iron Age, of March 3, are getting very numerous and are makirg the pecple madder and madder: “Toronto, Feb. 27, 1904.—American iron and steel products are still being offered on this side of the line at prices which cause dismay among Canadian manufacturers of like goods. A notable exampie is the cut in steel bars. These are quoted for the Canadian trade at Pittsburg six dollars a ton bélow the price current in the United States. Nor is this the only inducement.” Besides the concession offered by the manufacturers of the bars, there is the additional advantage of low freights on -shipments from Pittsburg, A Montreal manufacturing concern; wishing to place an order for steel bars, has, let us suppose, a bid from the company in Hamilton, Ont., and one from a Pittsburg steel mill. The Hamilton compani should have a material advantage 'in freight rates, for the haul from their mill to Montreal is only &bout half that from Pittsburg to Montreal. Yet tle freight rate on the Pittsburg Steel is only two cents higher than that on Hamilton Steel delivered at Montreal. ; “Babbit metal from the United States has been sold in Canada at quite low prices recently, 414 to five cents, freight and duty paid, being the usual range of the quotations. “On the 23d inst: the Canadian Pacific Railway company announced that it had an option from the Pennsylvania Steel company to take all the rails required on their system this year and next at $lB a ton, f-o. b.'at mills, or $2l delivered in Montreal.” 1% oo The Pennsylvania Steel company is one of the five or six members of the steel rail pool which has-held the price of steel rails in this country firmly at $2B a ton for three years. This trust is protected by a duty of $7.84 a ton on foreign rails. This duty added to its Montreal prige shows that the trust lacks just 84 cents a ton of getting the full benefit of the tariff in this country.- This is cutting pretty close to the tariff line. It is not unlikely that the trust is cutting entirely up to the tariff line on salesin others parts of Canada or of the world. . BYRON W. HOLT. ABOUT OFFICIAL GRAFTING. Republicans on the Anxious Seat Over Their Prospects in the Coming Elections. *

Over 100 republican members of tha house of representatives are in a peck of trouble over the 'publication .of house report No. 1,395, which contains the report issued by the post office department, charging grafting against many of them. The unparliamentary language by such leaders as Grosvenor of Ohio, Hill of Cornecticut anu others against Assistant Postmaster General Bristow was certainly unnecessary if those = members were innocent of wrong-doing. Innocent men do not need to explain their conduct in that way. :

The fact that the republican'majority refused to allow-a thorough investigation of all the departments of the post office, which was demanded by the democrats, also has an ugly look on the face of it ' So far but one department of the post office has been investigated and that by its‘own officials! If the other branches are free from taint, why do the republicans refuse to allow them to be investigated by a committeescomposed of both republicans and democrats? :

The select committee which is to investigate the charges made in the report above mentioned is intended to be a white-washing affair to put as good a face as possible on what is evidently dn, ugly matter. As nominations for congress are now being made and the campaign for election will soon be under way, over 100 republican members are on the anxious seat and unless they can be glven a clean bill of health are likely to meet disaster, when the voters try their cases next fall. It certainly looks like the democrats would walk away with a majority of the next house of repre« gentatives. !

SEEN IN SHOP WINDOWS. Hatpins having hand-painted china heads are among the pretty things one sees. 2 A pretty shirt waist suit is made of a dark-red soft silk and is decorated with small silk-covered buttons, tucks angd strappings. Among the prettiest hats shown are those of red chiffon or net that are shirred and puffed in a wonderfully becoming way. Broad belts of soft leather that fall in folds when placed about the waist are popular and come in red, brown, black, deep blue, white and gray leather. An odd teapot seen in a Japanese department is square in shape and on each side is a grotesque Japanese face, the four sides being all different. The lid of this teapot is alsoa gr§macing face. Congressman Ketcham, of New York, is quite deaf, but says that even this affliction has its advantages: “My constituents appreciate the situation,” he remarks jocosely. ®I haven’t heard a protest from them in 20 years.”

FUNNY LITTLE BOOBY BIRD An Oceanic Fowl That Seems. to Have Less Sense Than Any Other Enown Creature. The booby bird, an oceanic fowl, is i robably the funniest and mogt stupid bird in the world. It appears to-have as little intelligence as the old extinet dodo had, according to the ancient accounts. - - vl ’ The booby nests on islands- far out in the Pacific ocean, and will not_stir out of the way when men land there, but remains squatted on the ground, staring at intruders stolidly. - - It can fly very ,well indeed, and goes long distances; but ‘when it is sitting on the water it will remain directly in the course of a ship, so that it happens often that a steamer will g 0 clear over a booby that could easily have swam or flown out of the way. et ;

Sometimes booby birds will fiy on the deck of a ship and lie there with their legs sprawling under them, making no attempt to rise, as if their bewilderment had quite numbed their weak intellect. .

_The booby does not feed its young as other' birds do, by carrying food to them in its bill. Instead of this, the booby swallows the food, and then the young bird thrusts its head into the throat of the parent and fishes the food out. * s .

When two :young ~boobies are hatched in the same nest, the one that is out of the egg first will often attempt to eat its younger brother or sister. ) s s

When a shot is fired at a booby bird, it generally falls down flat on the ground and screams pitiably, even if it has not been hit at all;, so that it happens frequently that a . gunner gathers in entirely unhurt booby birds that have simply been -frightened into helplessness.—Boston Globe. - MRS. FOX RESTORED PEACE A Littld Story from Animal Land Which Contains a Good Moral . for Boys and Girls. " Mr. Lion lived. next door to Miss Kangaroo. He was very fond. of roaring, and she was a very nervous lady. One day, when Billy' Fox went to take. the "milk to her house, she told him that Mr. Lion had roared ‘so suddenly and so loud that he made. her jump and lose her false tooth out of her mouth. et .

Billy Fox went home.and ‘told his wife. He said he was going to tell Mr. Lion, and have him stop roaring so. “No, indeed, don't do that!” said Mrs. Billy Fox. “They’ll> both be -angry. I'll go and talk to them and. fix it all up.” { 2 : So Mrs. Billy Fox put on her litfle foxy bonnet and went to call on Mr. Lion. She told hifh that” Miss Kangaroo admired his voiece so° much that when she heard him roar she forgot everything else. . “Why, the other day,” said Mrs. Billy Fox, “you roared

Then the little fox lady went over to ‘call on Miss Kangaroo. “Oh, Mr. Lion is so sorry to hear that you've lost your false tooth!” she told that lady. “He says he’s coming over to apologize for roaring so much. I’m sure I think he’s a very delightful old gentleman.” Then, as she saw Mr. Lion coming, she hurried home. Mr. - Lion - was dressed in his best. He made a fine bow and apologized to Miss Kangaroo for startling her so. Miss Kangaroo could not fail to be delighted, and she smiled and bowed, too, and invited old wan Lion fo stay for tea. After that the lion and the kangaroo were always fast friends, and I 4m sure that the little fox lady is a very good sort of person te have in a neighborhood. —St. Louis Post-Dispatch. L

HARMLESS LITTLE REPTILE. The Fence Lizard Is Easily Tamed and Makes an Interesting and ) ; Devoted Pet. : If there is anything ®e need fo teach more than another, it is that numerous I’nsects and ‘reptiles,.which are held by many persons to be poisonous, are perfectly harmless. This is especially so of the pinetree lizard, or, as it is often. called, the fence lizard: It is true that the lizard has teeth, but they are almost too small to be seen,.the finely serrated jaws feeling just like the rough lips of a bass. Moreover, these little saurians seldom attempt to bite,. and make jinteresting pets.

I have a box two feet lonz, ong foot high, and six inches wide, the ‘es béing of glass and the bottom covered with white sand to a depth of two inches. With this on my study table I have a good opportunity for watching the five interesting inmates as thiey eat and -sleep. @~ Two are males - and three are females, easily distinguished by thneir color. Their color se:ms to be influenced by the:conditions of the atmosphere. After a rain or -when they first come out of " their: hiding places in the morning, many of them are -very dark. By holding them in the hand a short time, the color changes very perceptibly. s : When my pets are ready to go to bed, they diye into the sand, where they remaingovered‘ up until morning. Then here and there a head bobs up, and gradually the saurians either stretch out on the sand or prop themselves up on their forelegs in a most comcial manner. They soon become alert, and show how keen their appe-

Frequently, when one has seized a particularly fat grasshopper, anether will attempt to take it away. They are-also fond of roaches, but care nothing for hard-shelled beetles. “ They will not seize an inséct unless 1t is moving, and ‘one often krows when the attack is to be made, as the lizard opens its mouth just a little way before springing upon its prey. It uses its tongue with the same agility as does the frog or toad, and gorges a large insect pretty much the same way as a snake swallows a toad. - In burrowing in the sand they make several strokes with the right or left forefoot, changing from one to the other; but when this dirt is to be worked out of the way, they use their hind feet with alternate strokes with great rapidity. The female in this way evidently digs into the ground, where she deposits.a dozen or more white eggs, which she leaves for the warm earth to hatch. T Tk I know of nothing else so easily tamed. When caught in the hand they seldom attempt to escape. Placed on one’s clothing, they often sit in the same positiion for a long time. Knowing ‘this peculiarity, I decorated my little-son with 19 lizarcs, just to prove to some skeptical people that I was willing to back up -my assertion with a demonstratior. Yet one cbserver who witnessed it declared that it was risky, <and that he knew a man whg had lost a finger from the venomous bite of a fence lizard. A teamster who was not afraid to handle a snake could not be peréuaded to touch a lizard, although they both saw a finger thrust into a little saurian’s mouth. Ignorance is hard to banish; but it easily drives a'way the truth.

They arz not only harmless, but beneficial. Lying on the ferces which surround the field of growing crops, they devour many insects as.these attempt to enter the fields, thus benefiting the farmers, who have no appreciation of their value.—A.

That Recently Befell His Coun- - try’s Navy at Port Arthur, - "~ One of the most remarkable instances of political prophecy that have come to light in recent years is reported by Dr. E. J. Dillon. A Russian named Levitoff published recently at Port Arthur a pamphlet urging that the Russians do everything possible to gain time and that they withdraw the fleet as an incumberance and depend upon their numerical superiority on land. With great ‘clearness he pointed out the perils of meeting Japan on the sea. “The Yellow Bosporus” (the Straite of Corea) “is-a trap into which _the Japs, at England’s instigation are trying to entice us. So long as we steer clear of a sea fight,” he continues, “the command of the sea and the AngloJapanese alliance are not worth a sucked egg. If we resolve to keep ‘out of an engagement on water and if we are further prepared to do without our fleet, not only by refusing to increase it but by gettirg rid of it wholly and without reserve, then the Japanese doctrine, Asia for Asiatics, becomes meaningless and we have a free fleld on which to continue our work of culture in that part of the globe.”
