What an Army Of Toad-StOols Did.

Did ever you think how strong the
growing plants must be to force their
way up through the earth? Even the
green daisy tips and the tiny blades of
grass, that bow before breath, have to
exert a force in coming through that,
in proportion to their size, is greater
than you would exert in rising from
under mound of cobble-stones. And
think of toad-stools-what soft, tender
things they are, breaking at touch.
Yet, can tell you, they're quite mighty
in their way.
Charles Kingsley, the celebrated En-
glish priest and novelist, was a very
close observer of nature. One evening
he noticed particularly square, fiat
stone that, j should say, was about as
long and as broad as three big burdock
leaves. He thought it would require
quite strong man to lift stone like
that. In the morning he looked again,
and 10! the stone was raised so that he
could see the light under it. What was
his surprise TO find, on closer examina-
tion, that crop of toad-stools had
sprung up under the stone in the night
and raised it up on their little round
shoulders as they camel
I'm told that Canon Kingsley gives an
account of this in his book called
Christmas in the West Indies" but il
was in England that he saw it.
Knowing that he was so close an OBJ
server, shouldn't be one bit surprised i
he went still further and found out thai
one secret of the toad stools being able
to lift the stone was tnat they didn't
waste time and strength in urging eacl
other to the work, but each one did his
very best without quarreling about whose
turn it was, or whether Pink Shoulder ol
Brown Button was shirking his share
But then the toadstools mus: have beer
strong, too. : "Jack-in-the- Pa.pa," 81

A " Horse Palace" on Wheels,

The following description is given by
the San Francisco Chronicle of the car in
which the trotter Occident is TO be
brought East by Budd Doble: Under
meath the car is carried portable bridge
for shipping or transhipping horses at Il
moments notice, being attended with no
danger or trouble whatever. On the in
side the conveniences are of the most
superior character. There are four port.
able stalls for horses, two Dear each end
of the car When il is necessary 10 lie
over day or two for rest these single
stalls can be converted into roomy box
stalls; their sides are also cushioned TO
prevent accident Every aperture, win
dow, etc, has wire screens to prevent
cinders from entering the car; the ar
rangements for preventing flies from
troubling the horse are also very ingen-
ious and useful. Overhead are conven-
fences for packing away sulkies. In
one corner OF the car stove is carried
for the purpose of heating water for
horses feet as well as for cooking when
necessary; also refrigerator and nu-
merous conveniences that show much
ingenuity in their construction. In the
center of the car Doble has perfect
gem OF a boudoir, fitted up in the most
superb manner, with frescoed walls and
ceilings, Brussels carpets, tables, chairs,
lounges, mirror, lace curtains, silver
lamps; also fine sideboard filed with
elegant cut-glass and well stocked with
wines. A bell is also at hand to call his
help when required. In fact, take it all
in all, it is one of the most tastily ar
ranged cars for man and beast that there
is in the United States. The cost was
about 500, SOCIAL told. Occldent and ST.

Stockings.

Once upon time people Gid not know
what tight fitting knitted stocking was
they wore hose, or trousers made of
cloth, that buttoned at the ankle, and
never thought OF dressing each foot by
itself.
But when people began to think more
of dress thew went To the tailors TO
make them pair of stockings, and he
brought some like the CATERS little
children wear now.
At last a King of England had fine
pair of knitted black silk stockings sent
him from Spain. He thought himself so
grand in them that he only wore them at
state balls
When his daughter became Queen
Elizabeth she also had present sent to
her of pair of knitted silk stockings
| for silk shanks, as they were cailed),
which she liked SO much that she would
| wear no other kind, and gave a great
price to get some more like them The
mobiles of her court wished they could
buy some too but they were very scarce,
| for no one in England could make them
until young man borrowed some six
| stockings and knitted pair like them in
| wool, which he sold to the Earl of Penn
| broke. These were the first woolen stock
| ings made in England.
In the hot countries of the East people
leave their slippers, shoes or boots at the
door when they enter room and keeI
on their head-dress, just the opposite tC
what we Europeans do. We take off oul
hat and keep on our boots; but then We
must remember that these people do no
sit in chairs, but on mats or cushions
with their feet doubled up under them
SO that they would make their clothes
dirty and find their seat very uncomfort
able at the same time. The Turks, wht
are not Christians, but followers of Ma
homet, do not allow anyone to enter theil
mosques or isoly shrines with shoes on
