Fancy Work.

Another plant that is very ornamental is
the sweet potato. Take flower jar that
will hold water and fill it and put in small
potato, place your jar on bracket and in a
little while the potato will sprout and the
vine will grow very rapidly and fall grace
fully in every direction.
A pretty lamp shade is made of silk, pale
pink or blue cut into sections like paper
lamp shades; on each section paint some of
Kate Greenaway's dainty, wee toddleSs, in
sepia or India ink, bringing up the lights
with touch of Chinese white. Join the
sections with guipure lace and finish with a
heavy silk fringe.
A pretty table scarf can be made of old
gold satin, with border of peacock plush
and fringe in which green, blue, crimson,
gold and bronze are blended. On the scarf
paint five or six peacock feathers as if thrown
carelessly down, and paint around the stalks
bow of dark crimson ribbon as if to tie
them together.
Nice table mats can be made out of palm
leaf fans. Cut off the handles and trim the
fan to suit your TASTE both in size and shape.
bind the edges with crimson Worsted braid,
and next to the braid or half an inch from
it work row of heavy cross stitch or double
briar stitch in crimson zephyr. They make
pretty and serviceable mats.
A pretty ornament for sick room or
your sitting room, is to get small glass
globe, such as are sold for keeping gold
fish; this can be suspended anywhere by
chains or by wired picture cards. Fill your
globe with water and put in it cutting OF
ivy; it will grow luxuriantly if trained
around the cord and then allowed to run at
will. Replenish the water occasionally, as
it is lowered by evaporation.
A pretty idea is set of nut plates. Get
wooden plaques about six inches IN diameter
and one 12x12 on the large one paint
squirrel on the branch of tree with nut
in his paw. On the smaller ones make
massv. leafy background and then decorate
each plate with nuts of different kinds. and
bright berries, hickory nuts acorns hazel
and bough of horse chestnuts just bursting
from its burr. When dry. finish with re-
touching of French varnish and lightly line
the rims with gilt.
a pretty umbrella stand is made by pro-
curing large drain pipe two and half
feet high and having wooden bottom made
to fit into it. sand paper it smooth. Then
it is ready for painting. Paint your back
ground greenish gray if you are going to
have bright flowers on it, which is very
pretty grouped with grasses and ferns. A
stork standing one leg among PUSHES is
very pretty design. If you cannot paint you
can get number of bright, fancy pictures
that are bought by the sheet. and glue them
on in any way to it your taste.

''Frigate" must have derived its name
from the manner in which the wonderful

who witnessed this discovery considers they
must have been covered up many hundreds
of years
Early in 1862 q man in Tyr Nicholas
colliery, Cwm Tylery, near Newport. found
in the nineinch bel of coal live frog. The
hole it was found in was not more than
three and one-half inches in diameter.
There was a slight hollow over the coal
where it was found: and the frog when re-
leased commenced moving about, but seemed
larger and more active next day. This was
30 yards below the surface. In 1871 a toad
was found in the heart of an old oak near
Nantz. without any visible entrance to its
habitation Near Caen, in an elm at about
four feet above the earth and exactly in the
center of the tree. live toad of middle
size, but lean. was discovered. When an
opening was made it -scuttled away
hastily" This tree is also said to have been
firm and sound.
Some twenty years ago, in the course OF
the excavations that were made in connec-
ton with the Hartlepool waterworks, the
workmen found a toad imbeddsd in block
Of magnetism limestone at a depth OF
twenty-five feet from the surface The
toads ewes shone with unusual brilliancy,
and it was full Of vivacity on its liberation.
The creature continued for some time IN the
possession of Mr. Spence Horner, the presi.
dent Of the Natural History society, and for
a long period was in as lively state as
when found. Similar instances might be
quoted as having occurred at Sslksworth.

quarries near Cheltenham, and other places.
Only three years ago there was published
well-au.hsnticate1 Instance OF frog hav-
ing been discovered in the root Of an oak
tree al least DO years old near BALKAN,
Surrey.
Dr. auckland had some experiments
which are claimed as conclusive. He placed
twelve toads separately in twelve holes cut
in blocks of hard, hinty sandstone. They
were firmly sealed in. Tho imprisoned an
finals were buried three feet deep on Nov.
III, 1895 At the same time four toads were
deposited in holes cut in the heart OF an ap-
ple-tree, and the opening securely plugged.
Four others were also placed in plaster OF
Paris covered with luting. On Dec. 10, 1873
all OF the buried toads were examined. All
in the hard stone and in the tree, and two In
the plaster Of Paris, were dead. The re-
mainder were dying; but soms placed in
softer stone were in tolerably good health,

Please allow me space in the col
umns of the Exchange to return
thanks for myself and wife to the
good people of Milan for the very
kind and generous way in which they
have remembered us of late. We
moved into the parsonage one week
ago to-day, and had scarcely arrived
here when our friends began to send
us potatoes, preserves, coffee, meats,
towels and many other things that we
needed and certainly appreciated.
Last night, about 5 o'clock, quite a
crowd called to see us aud took possess
sion. of our kitchen for a time; finally
the door Was opened ssd myself and
wife were invited to walk in; to our
surprise and qualification we found
the table weighted down with provi.
sions of most all kinds, and many 9th
er valuable articles. 1t was happy
surprise to us and one that will long
be remembered. 1t is with gratitude
ofheart, better felt than expressed,
that we acknowledge your kindness
and lioerality to us.
Respectfully,
R. M. KING AND WIFE.

that she was waiting for train on

she had 1929, trunk checks and a
ticket to Eddyville, stolen from her.
The citizens of Laselle bought her a

her ticket to Fulton.
Mr.. William Blanks has rented the
old Milan Hotel and moved into it

ways and intends to add coat of

very reasonable. The ''Northern

to be one of the popular institutions
of the town. The Exchange welcomes
