Women are Wise on a sudden and fools on reflection. Women laugh tvhen they eau and weep,wheu they please. It is a pity to see a woman weep or a goose go nate-foot. Take a wife's first advice, but not her second thought. A widow is as daugerous as a horse that has cast his rider. Where women and geese are there is.nu lack of noise, Maids want nothing but hua- banils; then want everything. There is only one shrew in the world arid every huaband thinks he ban her. Women roust have their wills while alive, for they make none when they die. He. who marries a widow will often haven dead man's head thrown in hia dish. GmotA.N.

HOW THE LUCIFER MATCH WAS INVENTED. • It is not generally known that it is to Mr. Isaac Holden, M. P., that we owe, the iuventiou of the Lucifer match. This discovery was, he himself hag told us, made in the morning when I used to get up at 4• o'clock in or. der to pursue my studies, and I used at that time the flint and the steel, in the use of which I found very great inconvenience. Of course I knew, as other chemists did, the explosive material that was• necessary in order to produce iu• slantaneous light; but tt wae very difficult to obtain a light on wood by that explosive material, and the idea ocoured to me to put suphur• under the explosive mixture. I did that and shoeed it in my next teat ure on chemiatry, a course of which I wee delivering at a largeaoadomy• "There was," added Mr. Holden, "a young man in the roorn whose father wee a chemist in London, and he immediately wrote to his father about it, and shortly after lueifer matches were issued to the world.' believe that was the first oeetISiUU that we had the present heifer match. ' I was urged to go and take out a patent immediately, but I thought it was so small a matter, and it cost tile so utile labor, that I did hot thin'.e h proper to go and get a patent, o herwise 1 have no doubt it would have been very profitable."—From the Pall Mall Gazette. A . WONDERFUL CREATURE. THE CHAMELION AND SOME OF, ITS STRIKING PECULIARTIES. The chamelion has for ages been an object of curiosity, not only on account of its ability to change its color at will, as one might suppose who bad read accounts which men- tioned only that one characteristic, but also on account of a remarkable power which admits of the ereautre instantly changing its form. At, times it takes upon itself almost the exact feria of a mouse; again, with back curved and tail erect it is the exact counterpart of s miniature crouching lion; which 110 doubt gars origin to it's name, charnel lion, which clearly 111'00118 "ground lion.'.' 13v inflating its sides and flattening back and belly it takes upon itself the form of an ovate leaf, the tail acting as the petiole, the white line over the 'belly becomes the midrib. When thus expanded italso has an ex traordinary power to sway itself over so as to present an edge to the ob- server, thus greatly adding to its means of concealment. As is well theleast excitement in handling will, cause a change in the color. In its normal state it is of a light pea- green. When excited the ground- work remains the same, but trans- verse stripes about thirty in num, ber appear on the body. These stripes, which are of a very dark green to begin with, soon change to inky blackness. The prevailing idea that the chameleon takes upon himself.the peculiar hues of what• ever he is placed upon is as curious and whidespread as it is erroneous. Placed in boxes lined with red or blue milk, they retain their pea green color with 110 leaning towards the the brighter hues of the surround-. ings. HE MARRIED THIRTEEN TIMES. Frank C: Lawson, an American merchant of Zacatecas came there about four years ago from the Cititt o( Mexico, bringing with itim a pretty Spanish wife. She die:' two months after their arrival, and Law son took another young wife, Slie died also, and the American con. tinuod to exercise matrimonial pro,. pensities at a rate that astonished the natives, particularly as none of the wives lived longer than two or three months after becoming a bride. Lawson never wore the weeds longer than three months after the demise of his respective wives, when he would repeat the matrimonial experiment. The people let Law. son alone until three days ago when it was learned lie had married his thirteenth wife since his arrival in Z tcatecaa. The authorities began working on the case, and, as there Was no evid• ence to show that his twelve prev- ious wives died from other than natural causes, he was arrested under the law enacted many years ago which prohibits a man entering into the matrimonial state more than nine times.

New York Recorder: For months the British Goverumout, through, ite consuls and other representa. Lives, has been endeavoring to locate Thomas Baer, a humble me- chanic, formerly an able seaman on the British steamship Cyprus, to reward him for heroism and bravery at sea, Recently Captain Imbert 'Clipperton, the British consul in Philadelphia, succeeded in finding Barr working at Cramps' shipyard, having tired of the sea, and his bravery will now be fittingly recogn- ized, During the tetr•iblo storm of Sept, 30, 1891, when a violent gale of days' duration scattered the North Atlantic Ocean with•wrecks of mauy,'stanch and noble vessels, the Cyprus, of 'Newcastle upon - Tyne, commanded by Captain Ed- ward Guild, bound from Philadel- phia, narrowly escaped foundering' In the midst of this roaring gate a sinking, water-logged, and un• .manageable sailing vessel was sight- ed, laboring and straining in the trough of the sea. Immediate re- lief .eemed out of the question, as the Cyprus herself was hove to and endeavoring to weather the gale with the sea breaking over her bul wanks with terrific force, notwith- standing the skill displayed by the officere in charge of her. A call for volunteers from the Cyprus' crew was made, and the first to re-. epond was Barr, He was soon followed by John Hartley, Edwin Hicks, and James Embley, all able seamen, and Celite.�fr.,�- pde holm ordered the gtia 1Z av ` c'h ed, with himself in command. The sea was running to the height of the main yard, and the crests of the waves were white. with foam. By the tattered and torn code signals, as they hung to what re- mained bf the vessel's upper rig- ging, it was learned that the vessel was the Canadian brigantine Clara, of Yarmouth, Nova Scotia. The crew wore tied fast- in the rigging, at every lurch she made it was fear- ed she would turn bottom up and throw all hands in the sea. Chief Officer Sandholm was soon near the vessel, but to get too close meant destruction of the small boat and death to all. Orders wore given for the men to jump overboard en the lee side of the ship, They obeyed, and as they came up were grabbed by Barr and others and taken on the Cyprus, nearly famished and half-dead from cold and exposure. The Canadian government has forwarded to the British Board of Trade substantial rewards for the crew that made the rescue, together with Capt. Guild, who successfully managed his Vessel in oue of the wildest storms that -ever swept the Atlantic and saved every soul on the Clara. A bill of exehange of several pounds sterling will be given Barr, besides a testimonial from the Canadian •Government for bravery. —At Leeds, Megantio county, two girls named Miss Woodside and Miss Rankin were killed by lightning.

"Two curious little fishes live in the mud„' said Professor Theodore Gill lately. "One of them was only discovered recently. 'It was called after myself, by way of com- pliment, being named the Gill. chthye.' "My namesake is. not a sort of goby, from six to eight inches' long. It dige a hole in the muddy bank of a tidal creek, at the bottom of which it sits and meditates, being kept wet by the peetetel.ajion of tho water through tho surrounding mud. It feeds on small crustaceans ilargely. "One remarkable thing about the Gillichthys is its mouth, which is about one third the length of its body. It is good to eat, and the Chinamen in the neighborhood of San Francisco dig in the marshes for specimens, "The other mud fish is a native of the South Sea islands, and is found on other tropical coasts. It hops about on the mud banks when the tide is out being apparently as much at home on land as in t water. People call it the 'jumping fish.' "Sometimes it will climb the rete of trees on the shore, making its way upward by means of its pectoral fins. Often it occupies the holes made by fiddler crabs. When it is hopping abort on the mad it is usually in pursuit of crustaceans or a peculiar kind of slug that affords its favorite diet,” 1 'ranting The NEWS -RECORD Is in a better position than ever to turn out The Very Finest Printing At prices as low as any other office in the West.
