Bihi was grateful. But one little vice
of his was incurable he invariably
walked off with his host's umbrella.
This persistent absentmindedness at

friends dropped off. and Bihi expe

one day lie was discovered almost j
starving in an empty house, and Ver j
laiucV friends reproached themselves 1
for their unkindncsß to the poor old j
man. A subscription was raised for l
his beuelit. and llie money handed to!
him at a banquet at which the twenty
seven subscribers .were present. ISibi's
health was drunk with enthusiasm: 1
lie rose lo reply, but emotion so oxer
came him that he sought permission to i
retire. In his retirement he was ae- 1
coinpauied by twenty-seven umbrellas. ;

A pretty, lifelike dimple pan be made
to appear on a lady's cheek by means
of a specially designed knife with fl
very small ami very sharp blade, a
daintily liny, keen edged, silvered
scoop and a very line needle.
A small, straight incision is first made
in the llesh. The little scoop is then
used lo remove a small portion of the
underlying fat, while the sewing to
gether Willi the needle the edges of tin
cut completes the operation. In a day
tr Iwol he stitches are taken out. with
k> a week the wound being usually en
tirely healed, leaving the becoming lit
tie depression in the surface of the skin
that is called a dimple.
It is not often thai a woman desires
the removal of a natural dimple, bul
occasionally a man who considers the
mark to he a badge of effeminacy de
sires io get rid of it. Instead of re
moving the superfluous fat from be
lieu til the surface a small portion ol
, the skin is cut away. The edges of the
j dimple are drawn together with
: stitches, the incision heals and the tie
pression disappears.

The ring necked lizard of the Arizona
deserts is not a mere devolirer of weak
lings. lie is always ready to light,
| whether he is challenged by another or
; cornered by a man. When brought to
bay in some hole, he opens his jaws
and dashes bravely out, snapping at
everything which opposes him, and so
! tierce and sudden is his rush that it is
impossible lo face ii without llinching.
Hy holding two of these lizards loosely
by the small of the back and allowing
their heads to clash as they struggle
to escape, one may be able to induce
| combats such as must occur every day
! in the desperate lizard World.
Forgetting that they wt re captives,
: they would seize upon each other and
I vent their thwarted rage to the utmost
I in a light which, but for timely inter
; fercnoe, would doubtless lead to the
i death of one or the other. Such bull
j dog pugnacity is rather unlooked for in
lizards, but a student of character
could easily read in the set jaw and
pouched throat of this species the signs
i of lighting blood. Country Life In

"What are the principal shots in bll

of the wise young man."The kiss, the

replied. "How lovely!" she exclaimed.
"It is almost like a courtship, First,
the lover gets a kiss, then he follows
the girl all about and then"
"And then." Interrupts the man who
aspires to pessimism "and then they

he wises to be frozen." I For the beue
