HIGH-PRlCED TOADS,


They Are Imported From Austria Into
Great Britain.
In most districts of Great Britain
toads are moderately numerous; more
numerous, indeed, than might be i'm
agined, for they are not animals that
court publicity. In the face of this it
is rather surprising to hear that toads
are now being imported into this coun-
IT.. from Austria They are packed in
wooden boxes filled with moss, and on
their arrival fetch as much as from sl5
to $50 per hundred. loads have long
been an article of com merce here, in
most well ordered gardens the visitor
will occasionally be startled by quaint
apparition on the pathway, putting
like an asthmatic old gentleman, and
the suburban market gardeners and
nurscrymen very frequently have them
in their frames and greenhouses and
about their grounds But until re-
Gently our horticulturists have been
satisfied with the exertions of the ma
tive toads in Kidding them of Sugs,
grubs and noxious insects. 1t is posi-
bic that the Austrian toad may
be larger and more voracious than
oars, and this may explain the TACT
of its importation. At present 1t
does not seem to have put in an appear
ance at Covent Garden, where stock
of toads and green frogs is usually
kept. AT any rate the new vlsltsnl'

dc.erves a hearty welcome as cheap

not only does the toad live to an eS,
IRENE old age, but ii has the unusuaiI
merit of finding its own provinder anu
lodging. And beyond this it has mucli
more good nature in it that its forbid

Luxuriant Hair

Can only be preserved by keeping the
scalp clean, cool, and free from dam
druff, and the body in healthful
condition. The great popularity Of
Ayers Hair Vigor is due to the fact
that it cieanses the scalp, promotes the
growth of the hair, prevents it from
falling out, and gives it that soft and
silky gloss so essential to perfect beauty.
Frederick Hardy, of Roxbury, Mass
gentleman fifty years of age, was fast
losing his hair, and what remained was
growing gray. After trying various
dressings with no effect, he commenced
the use of Ayers Hair yigor. "It
stopped the falling out" he writes
"and, to my great surprise, converted
my white hair without staining the
scalp) to the same shade Of 6rolon it
had when was % years of age"
