Toronto Has 8 Sea-Serpent.


 The morning was cool, apd perhaps this was the reason why some ot the workmen engaged at the targets on tho Garrison ranges say the serpent they saw vas not more than fifty feet long and the size of mans body. The story, as told by one of them, is in sub stance as follows: Between 8 and g o'clock, while placing the targets in pc ,itiun on No. l range, a boy rushed up saying that there was q queer thing Boating near the shore. Some of the men were curious enough to leave tLeir work and hasten down to the shorc.~ There, sure enough. was large bluish- gray mass floating lazily near the shore It had every appearance of being asleep. as its body yielded to every ripple. Par, was submerged, but the upper porhop of the head iioated just above the water. That part which was visible was covered with short, stiff bristles in front which increased in length toward the sides and extended for distance of about ten feet on each side. The back, or at least that portion of it which appeared above the water, was lighter c0lOrod than the head A good view was had of the monster for upward of three minutes, when, suddenly raising it's head out of the water, it gave swish with it's tail and started directly south. in the direction of one of the steamers Its head, as it raised it above the water. was very much like that of an eel, with the exception of the long. trailing hair or whiskers. Its eyes were small. and as it dashed off one of the men said he thought he heard it give short, sharp bark. A line of foam marked its pro- gress out into the lake for about half a mile, when, turning sharp around, it dashed toward the Exhibition wharf, and again out into the lake, where they soon lost sight of it. The men did not appear at all anxious to speak of the matter, as they feared their veracity would be questioned. AS it is, their story is given for what it is worth, but surely the word of three men who saw 1t is worth that of thirty who did not it.--iOrontO Mail
 < Young Girls Bed-R,om.
 \ soung girls bedroom may be fu, s:shed daintily and in exquisite taste a' small expense. The chief outlay will | be for bedstead. This cannot be con. structed out of a pine board and bits of muslin, though many other things may be; but handsome painted bedstead Of blue and white is the first requirement tor this room The floor may be cover. ed with plain white mating, or of blue and white plaid, with sof. rug at the side of the bed; dressing-case of white wood, covered with white silesia and muslin, can be made next, and white wood washstand is also needed. This, like the dressing table, should have the underpart entirely concealedby breadths of the silesia and muslin. They should be gathered slightly at the top, so that they will fall in graceful folds. The curtains should be of the muslin, drap. ed, and the bed-spread ant pillow covers of tbe muslin over silesia also. The bed-spread should of course lie smooth ly over the bed, and be tucked in at the end and sides, unlike the lace ones, which hang over. The muslin of the pillow covers may be shrred at the top and bottom, if you like the full look the shIrring gives; they need, in this case, no edges, and in fact when put over the siesia plainly, do not trim them with lace, unless you add this adornment to ,he curtains, but finish with a plain hem With the various trifling ornaments z young girl gathers about her, the room will receive anything it may need in color to brighten it. A room so prettily furnished may be a real help to girl; will not be easy for her to cultivate d!sorderly habits there, for the effect she has worked to create would be en- tirely marred. It may help her to calm thoughts, but of thig we cannot be csr tein.
