NOT A SIN.
 Since our surprised and psined eyes looked on the shrunken shsnks of the gor- geously garmented new Foot Guards we have been thinking. And we have been wondering If 1t would bs sin before those legs are placed on exhibition in other cities and towns to fix them little. We have about come to the conclusion that it wouldn't be. It is well known that the men and women of the stage who haven't fine legs make them SO, In appear ance at least. Why ehouldn't cur citizens, as thsy act here and elsewhere the part of old Continentals, do so with all due re- gard to the fitness of thingea It is incon- gruous to see such speaking conferences, such we'll set heads, such manly busts and such prosperous stomachs carried about on such legs. especially in foreign parts, where the true worth of those who own the legs can not be so fully known and appreciated as it Is here. We are not given to advocacy of that which is false and artificial, but we feel justified in recommending in this case some judicious padding. The hearts of the new Foot Guards should, of course, be kept always true, but their legs would be decidedly improved by little falsity.

 A group of men were sitting on the ho- tel porch swapping" yarns. "Some peo- pie do not believe in luck; well, do, and I'll tell you why" said the traveller, ss he paused and deliberately put his right leg scroRs the knee of his left and glanced pensively down the street. The group pricked up their ears, for the traveller was famous story-teller, and all rightly judged that this remark was but the pre- lude to the recital of one of his ad dyen- turee.
 "When was some fifteen years younger than am now," continued the traveller, ''I was exceedingly fond of hunting. One fall my love of this sport led me to take & hunting trip in the Rocky Mountains.

Hidden Richness and BrilIiance.

The Idea these days is to have ell the elegance on the in eide, and that dress Is the most correctly good form that stimulates on the exterior great simplicity of color, cut and weave, and ia lined with costly and brilliant fla brio. Only the set and ihe ''swish-cruuch" as Miladi walks attests the correctness of the Things.

There is another liquid, the active principle of malt-JoHANN HoFF's Malt Extract. One dozen bottles of it have the same nourishing and tonic effect as large cask of ale or beer That's an advantage-another, it has not the intoxicating effect of either.

Frogs and Mnsps.

[R. E. Bartlett in the London Spectator.
 As you and your reasers seem interested in odds and-snds of natural history, send you one which may b, worth pub fishing. Some time ago, I discovered sc cidentally that frogs are vorscious eaters of wasps. I have in my garden tank for watering, with an island of rockwork, which Is favorite haunt of the frogs. The wssps just now are carrying on a raid against my fruit, aud when I wish to grat. ify at once my revenge and my frogs, I catch a msrsuder between 8 post card and an inverted wine glass, carry him of to the tank, wet his wings to prevent his flying and set him on the rock-Tork before the frogs. After 6 noment's pause a frog advances, and in sn instant the wasp has disappeared, drawn into tho frogs mouth by single dart of his long tongue. Occasionally the wasp reap p-ears wholly or partially, having mads it un- pleasant for the frog; but he is almost always swallowed in the cad. Ususlly convulsivs movements may be noticed in the frogs throat and body, as though the process of deglutition were not quite easy; but that they like the diet is evil dent from the fact that a single smsllish frog has beeR known to take three wasps one after another. Indeed, 1t Is re- msrksble what very email frogs, quite infants, will swallow a wasp with svidity. This afternoon a tiny frog swallowed a full grown wasp, when a big relative went for him quite ssvagely, like big schoolboy thrssnirg a small one for pre- suming to be helped before him.

Alaskan Ideas of a Future Life.
