Walking Lmtm and Twigs.
The walking and climbing '' leaves "of
Australia were for over half a century
considered the greatext of natural won
ders. A party of sailors wandered inland
and sat down to reot nnder a tree. A
great wind shook to earth several dead
and brown leaves. These presently be
gan to show siarn9 of life and crawl to
ward the trunk, which they; ascended.
ana attached themselves to their respec
tive twigs. .
Hence the sailors, who promptly ran
away, said the place was bewitched. But
the simple fact turned out to be that the
so called "leaves" were really leaf shaped
insects, having long, pendulous legs,
which could be folded out of sight, and
possessing the chameleon like power of
varying their color to correspond with
that of the foliage they are clinging to.
Upon being shaken to the ground, in
stinct taught them to seek shelter of the
friendly leaves again as soon as possible.
These walking leaves are frequently
fonnd in the woods of Illinois. The
farmers call them "animated twigs," as
they exactly resemble a bit of the tree.
They are green when the trees are green.
but as soon as the foliage changes they
become brown. The writer of this was
sitting under a tree reading in the woods
of southern Illinois when one of these
"twigs," as it was supposed to be, drop
ped on the page. It moved and thus re
vealed its identity. Its nature seemed
to be that of a worm, and its vitality
that or he very lowest. It aiea as soon
as removed, and served as a bookmark
for many years. Detroit Free Press.
A Cheeky Mao.
The cheekiest man of the season has
been found. He entered a local barber
shop not far from the city hall and asked
if he might wash his face. The tousorial
juggler said. "Of course."
"I'd like a clean towel, if you please,'
said the stranger suavely.
One coulu have heard a pin drop at
the barber acquiesced and handed him a
clean towel.
"May I brush my hair!" said the fas
tidious caller, as he stepped toward a
looking glass. The barber left his custo
mer and pinched himself to see if he was
really alive.
"I have a good, clear glass here. Now,
just a little oil for my hair. There!" said
the stranger, as he rolled Corinthian
bangs on his marble-white brow.
The barber opened his mouth wider.
"Now, just a little wax on my mus
tache," said the visitor. He suited the
action to the word and twisted the ends
of his mustache to his satisfaction.
"I am much obliged, sir," said the ex
tra nice stranger, as he adjusted his hat.
strolled to the door and disappeared.
A liberal fanning and application of
cool water relieved the proprietor, but it
was an hour or two before he fully re
covered. Manchester Uniou.
Antiquity of the Domesticated Horse.
The horse was probably first domes
ticated ou the plains of Central Asia.
This must have been at a very remote
period, for on the sculptured monuments
of ancient Assyria we find highbred,
carefully caparisoned steeds given in ad
mirable outline, showing how familiar
and how favorite an object the horse
must have been to the Assyrians. The
mane is long and flowing or curled or in
tassels. Three horses abreast drew the
chariot in which were three warriors.
Saddle horses led by grooms or bearing
horsemen are delineated, sometimes in
the thick of battle. .
The horse was doubtless introduced
into Egypt as late as the time of Hyksos,
and sculptured representations or it are
often conventional types peculiar to later
Egyptian art. Instead of the life and
energy displayed by the Assyrian horse.
there is a rather weak attempt to repre
sent life and energy and the effect pro
duced is mechanical. Probably the horse
of the Delta did not compare in beauty
or speed with the Assyrian horse. Ber
jeau says lie was more like the. Dutch
horse of our day. Caroline K. Sherman
in Chicago Herald.
He Got the Seat.
A nice young man got into a tram car
a few evenings ago, and saw to his de
light the only vacant seat was by the side
of a young lady acquaintance. He made
for that seat with joyous strides, and her
eyes answered his with delighted looks.
But just as he got there an elderly party
walked up and dropped into the coveted
seat. The young man approached more
slowly and accosted the young lady.
"tlow is your Drotner he asiced: "is
he able to get out?"
"Oh. yes!" she answered.
"Will he be very badly marked?" he
continued, and the old gentleman grew
suddenly interested.
"Oh, no!" she said, "with the excep
tion of a few marks on his forehead."
"Were you not afraid of taking it?"
the young man continued, while the old
gentleman broke out in a cold perspira
tion. "Not at all," she replied; "I had been
vaccinated, you know."
The seat was vacated instantly, the
two innocent young hearts beat as half
a dozen, and the , prattle of "nice talk"
strewed that part of the car, while an
old gentleman scowled upon them from
the distant corner. London Tit-Bits.
The Cavalry of the Romans.
Devoted as the Romans were to war,
the cavalry was an important part of
the army. A great deal of adverse criti
cism has been passed, upon their horse
manship and skill in managing the
cavalry. The Prussian hussar officer,
Warnering, pronounces Caesar an indif
ferent cavalry general and ridicules his
arrangements where cavalry are con
cerned. Caesar, however, conquered all
the same. His ' famous horse, credited
with having a human fore foot, was
equal to the star eyed goddess herself for
victory. Chicago Herald.
There is a hotel in Boston that is fre
quently mistaken for a church by stran
gers who pass one of its entrances. At
the end of the corridor and visible from
the street there is a peculiar feature of
the stairway which, f nui a little dia
tauce, resembles the pipes of an organ.
