Mrs. Seabury hesitated a moment,
then continued:
ut wouldn't be quite honest for
me. TO say that l liked the garments or
that 1 really enjoyed wearing them or
seeing the children wear them; but 1

your intentions were of the very
best"
"Well, now," said Mrs. Beamau,
heartily, 'I'm glad you don't bear me
no i'll will for making you all look like
menagerie. guess those things
won't do to wear down where you are
goin', though. SO, if you'll just get
all the clothes together, I'll take 'em
home and color 'em so you'd never

Mrs. Beaman had no equal in the

Horned toads are numerous all over
the southwestern portion of the coun.
try, from Texas to California. They
are of all sizes, from the little tiny
toad to those the size of your hand.
They are coverkd with horns, and have
two large ones on top of the head. These
toads are not bloated aud round, nor
do they sit up like our common toad.
The horned toad is fiat and longer
more slender. His eyes blink and he
catches fly as quickly as any toad.
The horned toad is harmless and about
the color of the ground; is easily
caught, and many have been sent in
boxes through the mails to friends in
the East, but Uncle Sam has put a
stop TO that. No more horned toads
through the mails. In California the
toads are caught by the Indians and
Mexicans and sold to sailors, who sell
them in Honolulu TO catch flies.

The well-known British statistician,
Mr.. Mulhall, points ont in a paper on
the subject that, relatively to popula-
tion, no European country can vie with
New England in the matter of manu-
factures, the fact being stated that, in
the case of the latter, the value of the
annual output represents 1919 per in
habitant, while in the case Of Great
Britain it is but $115, Belgium sss
and France $74. The rate, moreover,
at whick manufactures have advanced
in New England he finds to be ineom-
parably in excess of the rate in Great
Britain; thus, the annual value of
manufactures per inhabitant of Great
Britain was $111 in 1850, and but "a
more in 1890, while during the same
period in New England it rose from
Sl04 to 1919, In other words, British
manufactures in general, during the
last forty years, have done little more
than keep pace with the population,
while those of New England show a
ratio per inhabitant three times greater
than that of 1850.

The Right Hon. James Bryce, author
of ''The American Commonwealth, has
publicly asserted that women are the
scholarly sex and that men are caring
less and less about learning, their
chief absorption being either business
or athletics. He says that in the fu.
ture all must look chiefly to women to
uphold the love of culture and learn.

men is the best for women.

An attempt to acclimatize ostriches

Fluorine, remarkable both as the

and as the only one forming no COM
pound with oxygen, was with great
difficulty isolated by Moisan in 1857.
Its liquefaction, just announced by
Professor Dewar, adds a new and ex-
detail TO the chemistry of
cold. The gas liquefies at a tempera-

aud the product is a yellow mobile
liquid which has lost the intense
chemical energy and become entirely
inert

There is an extraordinary decline in
number of persons applying for civil
service examinations, the total for the
whole country during the current year
being only a fourth of the aggregate

due to the fact that many would-be

In the spring the town was electri-

acceptance OF course he must take
