lady used to sit after tea almost
every evening on a stone step at the
head of flight of terraces which led
from a bay window down into the
garden. AS this window was not over
looked by any neigh bor's windows, it
was the family custom to leave the
curtains up in the evening and let
the CHEEKY light of the student-lalnp
which stood on the large reading-ta.
BILE shine out.
One evening, as the lady sat on the
step, she saw large toad hopping
across the grass toward her. When he
had c5ine within eight inches of the
window he Suddenly settled himself in
to the long grass, having selected as
his resting place little hollow, so that
only the very top of his head and his
cleaning eyes showed above the grass.
There lie sat without moving until
the damphcss sent his observer into the
house. The next evening she found
that the toad had already taken his
place when she seated herself on the
step, and OH several successive even
ings he was sitting in exactly the same
spot by the time the sun had fairly set.
The lady's curiosity was by this time
aroused to such degree that she de-
termined to defy the dampuess and
stay In her position on the steps until
she saw what the toad accomplished
II his hiding place. The next evening,
therefore, elIe provided herself with a
thick shawl and took her accustomed
seat little later than usual
AS the light faded the toad rose from
his position and hoped toward her
little way; then, after solemnly and anX'
iously regarding her for some moments,
he returned to his hollow. evidently de-
deciding that she was harmless per-
son, not bent on making trouble for
him. as he at first had feared.
When the lamp in the window was
lighted it seemed to her that the toad
raised his head little and took on an
attitude of great vigilance. The cause
was soon apparent.
After few moments large moth,
attracted by the light, dashed against the
window in a vain endeavor to gain en-
trance. After futtering wildly against
the glass it suddenly dropped, blinded,
to the ground, and the toad sprang for
ward and secured it.
This was only his first victim, and at
the end of half an hour the watcher
went into the house with her curiosity
fully satisfied. Some one to whom she
told the story suggested that the toad
might have happened on the favorable
position the first night, but his friend
persisted that he had discovered it by
his own unaided intelligence.-C Chicago

"Apricot."

The word is familiar, but not so its
meaning. If one should say that talk
ative boy was rather apricots, one
might think mistake had been made.
But the expression would not be SO
bad after all. If it had been stated
that the lad was precocious the under
standing might have been better, but
the real difference would be slight.
Dissect the word. The is really al,
and al in Arabic is the. Now remove
the t, which is Frenchy excrescence,
and prico remains. Now to the Latin
prpcox, and from this comes another
Latin word, prfecoquus, precocious; and
precocious means early ripe-or early
cooked-pr@, beforehand, and coquere,
cooked. But as ripened (Which is sum
cool1ed) and cooked mean the same,
then apricot is al the; pre, beforehand;
and coquere, ripened-a sort of peach,
then, that ripens earlier than the ordi-
nary peach. Peach is only another word
for Persia-the Persian fruit. .-Daven
