Madagascar is the home of the chameleon. In his book. "A Naturalist In Madagascar," James Sibree says the chameleon changes color for other rea-1 sons than adaptation to its background. He saw one that turned per fectly white out of fright "when seized I in the coils of a snake. When released ' it resumed its ordinary color. The Malagasy call it ranilaheloka, which means "naughty old boy." ! Dead Wrong. "What would you do. Jimson," asked Professor Brainfag, "if you saw a man i fall dead in the street without apparent reason?" "I really wouldn't know what to do, sir." answered the young student.

Bet There Is No Mistaking the Genuine, Spontaneous Offering. With nearly every successful address applause plays a leading part There are several varieties <>f applause The common variety is the perfunctory handclap?a poor, weak contribution which makes a butterfly look long liv ed in comparison. A second variety is the charity offering of ;in audience t<> the oratorical beggar. The speaker ends a profound declara tion with a pause which is next door to an open declaration of war if the audience doesn't come across, or he works himself up in a series of mental paroxysms which impel the auditors to rush to his rescue before it is too late. All spellbinders pocket this va riety of applause as real com. ur course it is nothing of the kind. The genuine issue in laudation is a spontaneous and volcanic eruption of approval and delight. It Mows out violently from the subterranean fires of folk, and w-hen it has reached its climax there comes suddenly and u<<r ireously from the midst of it a second and more terrific explosion, and as this is reaching its highest point a thir l and seismic spasm rockets up through bedlam and overwhelms everything 1 ...

I was never so fortunate myself, but I have seen it work out with others again and again. They hate the man who won't admire them, and they laugh at the man who does. Their nerves are always thumping them into action till their hearts are bursting and their brains are in a whirl. One of our emotional actresses in her piime was the most febrile, fearless, radiant witch of a woman the stage ever had. Stie was always on fire, intelectually and every other way. During one engagement in New York she wasn't on speaking terms witli any one in the front of the house, except one man, and he was always telling her how wonderful she was. No one else dared go near her for fear she'd kill them with the first thing handy They're just like angry leopards, some of them. They must be humored, conquered with patience, firmness and kindness.
