speak was at Willis rooms In the days Of

gether to consider the sdvisability of erect

rec election, an archbishop and two or
three bishops, and plenty of deans, arch
descons, and sdch small clerical deer.
Lord Beacons6eld was received with en-

How Frog HIbernate.

Ifrom the September ST. Nicholas
As to their condition during the winter
season, our cold-hloodsd friends pass the

torPor called hIbernAtion.

comfortable-A tomb in the mud In the
margin or bottom Of q pond. HibsrnA-
ton is state Of entire or partial torPor.
1t seems like sleep, but is proved 20 be
not really the same. In torpor the
breathing, circulation OF the blood, digss-
ton, are almost entirely stopped: bat In
sleep these all go on. An animal Is swEk-

eat, by lobes Of fat stored inside hss body
for that purpose. This ts another method
OF meeting privstlon which our amphihi-
ous friends share With the camel, whose
humps are little else bat stores of fat.
As to diet, the general rule is that frogs
eat, or are eaten by. almost sverythings.

insects are specially uellshed. There is q

A lady has lately told me the following
story: In the western part of Massachu-
setts q man had fne stock farm; that is,
farm for raising COVE and hcrses. But a
few weeks ago fire broke out In the barn,
and burned not only the building and the
hay, but most of the animals also. After
the FIRE the owner walked over the ruins
1t Was a sad sight to see the chsrred bod
les of his fne jersey cows and his high
spirited horses, to cay nothing of the mon
ey lost with them
But at the end of the barn he saw q
sight which touched him more than all the
rest. There eat an old black hen. He
wondered that che did not move her head
to look at him ss he came near her, bat he
thought she must be aslesp He poked
her with his cane, and to his surprise the
wing which he touched fell into ashes.
Then he knew that she had been burned
to death But out from under her came q
faint little peep, and pushing her aside
with his cane, the man fouud-whst do
you thinki-ten little live yellow chIckensi
The poor hen had sacrificed her own life to
save them, and had held her place in the
fire ss Cssabiancs held his ON the burning
deck. That sight toucsed the man more
than nythiDg else, and he has to own that
his eyes grew q little more moist than
usual.

Spangles are being much used; not the
ordinary ones, but the metal disks with
tiny hole near the edge on one side for
fastening. Gsuzss are made things of
brilliant beauty by outlining the pattern
with closely tapping spsnglss. Plain
gauzs takes an edge two inches deep of
solid spangles, hat brims are covered thick
with the little metal disks, and artificial
flowers seem to be made of nothing else.
These bits of brightness come In all dull
metallic fleets, as well as In gold and sill
yer. Some are made to set so thick that
they seem to be on edge, and o crusted ef-
feet is produced. Ribbons with spangles
run along each edge are much in favor for
gsrnishing evening gowns, the ribbon be-
ing made into rossttss, quilted and set on
the edge of frills, or in rows on the skirts.
Very elaborate spangled effects are pro-
duced Ia regular spangled work. and
where the pattern is filed in close and at
intervals spangles hang free on an inch
length of silk. No bead work was ever
more perishable, and none was ever more
beautiful. Among the many metal span
giles glass ones also come. These are in all
colors and slightly larger round and thick

uses In ornamentation. Besides the high
ly brilliant and decorative effect of the
disks, they give weight to light materials

BYxRKE FOR COLLECTOR.

The long fight over the internal revenue
collectorship in this district was ended
yesterday by the appointment of John g.
Byxbee of Meriden. Little has been said
publicly about the contest, but it has been
one of the hottest and hardest ever waged
in Connecticut politics. Mr.. Byxbee has
been "almost appointed" once or twice
before, and then his skillful opponents
have succeeded in having the appointment
delayed. II has occasionally looked ss If
he might not get 1t at all, but he has ''got
there with both feet" according to an old
habit of his.
The appointment will be particularly
displessing to some of the Presidents
warmest and most faithful supporters in
this part of Connecticut. They will feel
that they deserved more consideration
than has been shown them. AS for Mr..
Byxbee and his supporters they will feel
that they have succeeded in getting just
about what belongs to them. The sp-
pointment will not add to the Democratic
harmony of this part of the State.
