Opin Sprinkled lures. The very latest Idea Is that lace's X,Fubtle praee should be etm further i nrlched, and nrtulclal Jewels are set firmly on its surface so that the gleam of diamond, sapphire or ruby will emphasize the design of the lace with out detracting any flexibility.

One of the Chinese methods of mat lng a criminal regret his past Is to tie him to a post with his hands firmly fastened at liis sides, and leave him there for hours, with the flies buzzing about and settling on his face.

A walk through any large park on any bright summer afternoon reveals dozens of baby car Tinges, whose Inmates have been left to tthelr own Infant devices, while the mrocs chat together or with tlielr frWnds. Some of the babies are too young to manage their hands Intelligently . others have had their hands safely folded away under the carriage af gtfcan by their intelligent nurses.

Nothing is quite so ugly or unbe coming as an attempt at the corselet skirt in line. Pretty pongee waists, embroidered with dots in different colors, and also plain tucked pongee waists are re duced to $3. Great care is needed in the choice of the skirt of a linen frock, and those who have picked up a good pattern ready-made are fortunate. Many of the more expensive shirt waists of the season are finished with the cross pieces set into the shoulders and formed of the trimming of the waist or a tucked band of the ma terial. Fancy buttons are again coming .in to use through the introduction of va rious new styles.

Soma Stories of the Queer Dcinzi of the Creature. Oru friend, the Had, in addition to big faculties fr clearing gardens uf fclugi and insects, sitting in holes, ravaging beehives and being found alive in the in side of snake and coal strata, has other interesting qualities. If 1 may believe the accounts given mc by my elders, a toad may have a taste for religious mu sic. At about the age of five 1 kept a pet toad, for whose benefit I used to catch fiiei, beetles, slugs, etc. I clearly remember his taking these from my band, as well as bis lumbering cheerily toward me whenever I came alone into the garden. 1 am ;;lso told that he lis tened with rapt attention while I sang to him, "Oft in sorrow, oft in woe, On ward, Christians, or ward go." This circumstance, I may say in the sacred cause of truth, I do not remember very distinctly. 1 do, however, remember very distinctly bringing him saucerfulf of milk, which afterward became empty. This consumption, may, however, have taken place vicariously, after the man ner of the disappearance of offerings as related in "Bel and the Dragon," for ex ample, by substituting pussy for priest. Passing to raatuercr years, I once came across a "fearful wildfowl" be longing to the batrachian tribe on the bare waterless veld of Mashonaland, or rather Makalakaland, between the then so-called forts of Tu!i and Victoria. He was as large as many of our toads put together, had a head like a bull dog, only uglier (if bull dogs are ugly), and large pimples on his back, and he moved him self by means of clumsy but fair-sized hops, instead of shufiling or waddling, a; his little English relative usually docs, unless much frightened or excited. I nearly walked over him. and he at once ir.ade for me open-mouthed. I held out a stick, which he laid hold of and heid cn to as though he were a terrier. A young bull dog I had with me then (and now still treasure in his old age), either not recognizing the likeness or being insulted by the grossness of the parody, made a grab at him, and was with diffi culty hauled and called off, and wa afterward fully occupied for some min utes in choaking, making faces and scat tering frothy saliva : and thereafter look ed askance at toads generally. Some Colonial wagon owners, with whom I was a passenger, called this creature (phonetically) a "pod," or "podder." How the word is spelt I never found out, but I heard elsewhere that it is really the Cape Dutch for some kind of frog; though what Cape frogs are like I know not, never having lived in the colony it self. My friend or enemy) I should be inclined to dub a "bull toad," if he has not a name already. Perhaps some naturalist can enlighten me. The Boers, by the way, call a tortoise, of all things, a "shell frog," in the same cheerfully indiscriminate and topsy-turvy way that they call a cheetah a leopard, a leopard a tiger, a hyena a wolf, a bust ard a peacock, a sand grouse a (Nama qra) partridge, an ant-eater an earth pig, a giraffe a camel, and a locust a i mp-cxk or spring chicken. Letter in Pall Mall Gazette. Science Versus Romance. How the shades of the old poets and fable-writers would tremble with amaze ment and indignation if they could come back to the upper world and stand once more in classic Greece ! Right in the center of the famous land of Boeotia a company of enterprising Englishmen have laid desecrating hands upon a body of water once gacred to the gods and the heroes, and, having drained it, they are now using its fertile bed as a great truck farm. Melons, colza, beets and other vegetables are cultivated where naiads used to disport themselves, and the cry of the teamster, as he carries the "truck" to market, is heard close by the spot where once stood a famous oracle of Apollo. The body of water is Lake Co pais, the largest in Greece, which has thus fallen a victim tor the base uses of modern trade. A DECEIVING WORLD. Madge Did you ever love a man you wouldn't marry?
