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.
Imagine an old AJeneon lappet
studded with tiny sapphires, a dia
mond here and there to mark a blos
som a jour. Knot this round a shapo
ly throat or clasp It there with a gem
set fastening. Next use the lappet
ns a shoulder strap for nn evening

Chinese Torture In America.
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.
Hc cannot, of course, brush them
nwaj and the torture he experiences
is a tribute to Chinese Ingenuity.
It will intprpsr Atnerirvm nmtlior-a fn
Tcnow that many nursemaids are
humble and unconscious Imitators of
'. this Celestial custom. 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. All

cool shade of the trees around them
s ariM. the peaceful murmur of the
; ' branches above them must seem a bit
fer irony. Like Tantalus, who never
reaches the water so near his lips,

, benefit of the beautiful green little
' world into which their mothers have
so lovingly and so confidingly sent
them. Harper's Bazcr.

"Thre Is one accomplishment that
eelf-upportlng women would do well
to acciuire." remarked a tried doctor,
"and that Is reading aloud. For peo

"In the homes of the well-to-do one
would naturally expect to find the

voices so well modulated that their
reading would be a pleasure to the
ear. but in reality such is seldom the
case. Invariably, when I prescribe
a course of light reading as an anti
, dote to; pain and weariness the pa
tient replies with the question, 'Cut
who is coing to do the reading'
I "Tb usual upshot of the matter Is
.that -I ivolunteer to send somebody In

Fashion's Fancies.
An attractive coral pin is carved in
the design of a man's head.
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. Large ones are nec
essary on the Louis XIV. and long
loose coats, and the inside vest gives
opportunity for many small dainty
ones.
Scarlet drill, with a big collar of
embroidered linen or coarse lace, made
with a pouched blouse or bolero bo
dice and a strapped skirt, Is a per
fectly charming country frock, worn
with one of those big muslin hats
which are so light and becoming.
The most attractive of baby shoes
are made in the form of moccasins,
the top set In the faggoting. They
are finished with frills of ribbon

around the upper part of the shoe,
which Is high, and ties in the front
Straps on either side of the fronts
of bodices or skirts, set on from the
Inside, but where they finish with a
point and a button, are good, giving,
as they do, the effect of holding back
the sides of a skirt. They finish many
stylish frocks, frequently being grad
uated in length.
In the way of strapping, a good ef
fect is given on a gown finished
around the skirt with three gradu
ated ruffles. These become narrow
er at the front, where they do not
quite meet, but are finished with two
straps on each rutfle, fastening on
cither side with n b'lttcn

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.
