How a Toad Does His Marketing.

Toads are not attractive animals but
they are more intelligent than most
people give them credit for being. My
garden was a resort for many toadS
and we had become we'll acquainted
with each other, although | thought
them rather stupid lot. 1t was conf
cal, however, when / accidentally dis
turbed one among the leaves or hauled
him out of the soft earth where he
was resting to see the little fellow puff
himself out to the point of bursting
and roll up the whites of his eyes at
me with an expression of sleepy re-
proach, says writer in the VaUertey
Magazine.
One evening | observed toad COM
ing toward me along the path. He
was, as usual, deliberate in his move
ments. A hop, long wait and then
another hop. AS he came near my
seat he eyed me solemnly for awhile,
then hoped between my feet and dis
appeared under the chair. On turning
around few minutes later | saw him
on the graveled walk leading to the
front of the house. Without any def
| mite object l rose and strolled after
after him.
The toad paid no attention to me as
/ came up with him. Suddenly he
made leap toward the edge of the
path and vanished from sight. knew
he had not reached the grass border
and | was puzzled at his strange dis
appearance. I took a step forward
and stopped over the spot where he
| had landed. The mystery was solved.
although l could scarcely believe what
plainly saw. The toad was there,
but the fat, chunky body seemed lit
orally pasted to the walk, and was
scarcely discernible from it. 1t looked
as if it might have been run over by a
cart-wheel, so perfectly hattened was
the body. AS l looked there was q
| lightning charge. Like a flash my toad
| threw himself at the grass border,
thought saw darting tongue; then
he leisurely hoped back to the walk
the same rotund, stupid-looking fell
| low knew so well.
Again and again was that marvellous
fattening process repeated, as he
caught sight of objects to me quite in
visible. Again and again he launched
himself like an arrow into the air or at
tuft of grass, and l do not believe
that he once missed his prey. Instead
of being a slow-mnving animal he was
cunning as cat and twice as active.
Every summer my garden is filled
with toads. | treat them with pro-
| found respect.

Washing The Face.

Some complexion specialists say the
face should never be washed. At least
one woman in New York af1irms that
she has not washed her face in seven
years. She has beautiful skin, and
when complimented upon it, she says:
"Ah. you should have seen my grand
mothers skin. When she was seventy,
it was like rose leaf. and she had not
washed her face for twenty-six years. !"
Similar stories are told of Madame
Patti and other persons of remarkably
fine complcxions, but the truth of
these is not vouched for by reliable
authorities.
One the other hand there is a woman
living i'll New York who makes prac-
tice of washing her face every night
with soap and hot water. She is over
fifty years old her skin is satin smooth.
and the coloring as delicate as that ct
Il young GIRL. A friend OF hers, who is
of about lhe same age, and has a conf
plexion rivalling the others, puts only
clear pure water on her face. and has
not touched it with soap in fully twen-
~ years.
The weight of evidence is with the
people who use soap, but all agree in
sayin" that only the finest, purest soap
must bc employed, and that every
particle of ii must be rinsed off.
Authorities on the matter assert that
the face should not be washed oftenel
than once day, and that the water
should never be dashed over it, rs is
the delightful if reprehensible practice
of most men and some women Very

should be applied with a soft cloth, a

NATURAL COOKERY.
The Way In Which Some Edibies Are
Spoiled in Preparing Them.

The true national uses of the art of
cookery do not lie in its scientific and
expensive applications Gf they did
cookery would be closed to all but the
rich), but in the preparation in cot
tage or a palace of every article OF
food. whether alone or in combination,
with others, in such fashion that it
shall retain the individuality that ma
ture gave ii, the full essence that be-
longs thereto, the properties, the
aroma, the action on the palate that
are specific to itself and which ought
to distinguish each dish from every
other, says Blackwood's Magazine.
But cooks are unable to bestow this
character on their work; each of their
productions resembles every other
more or less in utter contradiction of
the fundamental law that every dish
shall be in itself alone, with no echoes
from elsewhere. When that result is
obtained, no matter where or in what,
in the simplest as in the most compli-
Gated work, tue cookery has been ,ap-
piled. In England, however, the dis
tressing error prevails generally that
cookery implies the fabrication of
dlShCS, anu uO ouO
can be good cook who does not pos
sess acquaintance with such conceits.
The Belgians and the Germans (espe-
cially the south Germans) are proba-
bly, at this moment the most improv-
ing cooks in Europe, precisely because
they receive and apply the law Of in
dividuality, which alone can give true
variety in cookery. 1t is because it is
not and can not be applied when many
contradictory dishes are being pre-
pared in the same kitchen-each one
injecting the air with its own smell,
combining that smell with the others,
and forming in each dish mixture of
them all-that hotel and restaurant
cooking is generally SO detestable.
The cabbage soup of cottage 0ou

untainted by, unpolluted by the hum
dred damaging contacts Of the atmos-
phere of great kitchen, and for that
reason all true critics of cookery will
declare it to be far more thorough
representative of the first principles of
the art than any of the hundred plates
sent up from reelling bas; ment in
