cast Prof. C. S. Cornell, musical di-

exceptionally fine singers residing among

Toulouse. He states that he himself
saw numerous young frogs on the coats
of two gentlemen who were out in the
shower. Prof. Pontus says that he
forthwith repaired to the spot where
the storm had burst and found the roads
and fields literally alive with young
frogs and tadpoles." I'm some places"
says the professor, "they were three or
four feet deep all over the ground, and
the hoofs of the horses and the carriage

no SHAME SPITTERS.
A Baltimore Woman's Plan to Cure
Men of a Filthy Habit.

A Baltimore woman has suggested the
following as a sure way to break men of
the filthy habit of splitting in the street
cars:
Whenever a male passenger on
street car begins to expectorate, let
every woman aboard just look steadily
at him There need be no especial Sc
verify expressed by the look, nor an
excess of indignation or rebuke. for too
much feeling shown in glance, II the
fellow guilty were inclined to be coarse,
might subject one to insulting remarks.
But each female face should wear
well bred air of offended delicacy and
surprise. There is not a woman out of
ten in this city 1 will venture to assert
who will not understand how to ex
press these emotions in single look and
not OVerdo it.
I'm union there Is strength so of
course, when a man is to be reproved In
this fashion for his transgression, let
the look of every woman in the car be
concentrated upon the man. Believe
| me, there is nothing in the world that
will make that man feel smaller and
| more ashamed of himself for the filthy
practice than this unanimity of rebuk-
ing glanceS.
Gentlemen never find it necessary to
| cover the floor with slime, and the
rough should not be permitted to do
so. You cannot convince me that the
| latter is not aware of his sin against
| good manners and common decency
| when he sits with his feet crossed and
| hands showed into his pockets and chews
and expectorates and expectorates
| till every woman unfortunate enough
| to have taken that car Is forced to get
| off. No, indeed; for often have caught
| the eye of such fellow after he has
| covered a good-sized spot on the floor
and seen how guilty and sef-conscious
| he looks. And 1 have repeated my in
| quiring look upon each offense and
| found him every time glancing hastily
| up to meet it with a conscience stricken
| air. You may be sure in nearly every
| case the expectorations became fewer
| and fewer, or else ceased altogether af-
| ter one or two glances. Just imagine
| the effect OF half a dozen women, with
| fixed optics, rejecting the light of dis
| gust and correction upon one Of these
| fellows. He would never be able to
repeat the offense-not in the same car,
| and l doubt very much If a feeling Of
humiliation and shame would not prompt
him to get out of the car as rapidly as
possible. Chicago Chronicle.

Mrs. Lawrence happened to wonder
whether the potatoes had frozen She

found it full of large potatoes.
That encouraged her to keep on dig

CHAPTER III.


Next morning Wentworth worked his
way, with much balancing and holding
on of stanchions, along the deck, for
the ship rolled fearfully, although
there seemed to be little wind and the
sun was shining brightly, but the per-
son he sought was nowhere visible. He
thought he would go into the smoking
room, but changed his mind at the door,
and turned down the companionwey to
the main saloon. The tables had been
cleared of the breakfast belongings,
but on one of the small tables white
cloth had been laid, and at this spot
Of purity in the general effect of red
plush sat Miss Brewster, who was com
placently ordering what she wanted
from a steward. who did not seem at all
pleased in serving one who had disre-
garded the breakfast hour to the dis
arrangement of all saloon rules. The
chief steward stood by a door and
looked disapprovingly at the late guest
1t was almost time to lay the tables for
lunch, and the young woman was as
calmly ordering her breakfast as if
she had been the first person at the
table.
She looked up brightly at Wentworth,
and smiled as he approached her.
Il suppose" she began, I'm dread
fully late, and the steward looks as if
he would like to scold me. How aw-
fully the ship is rolling. Is there a
storm?"
"No. She seems TO be doing this sort
of thing for amusement. Wants to
make it interesting for the unfortunate
passengers who are not good sailors,
suppose. She is doing it, too There's
scarcely anyone on deck"
Dear me. thought we were having
dreadful storm. Is it raining?"
mo. It's a beautiful sunshiny day;
without much wind, either, in spite OF
all this row."
II suppose you have had your break
fast long ago?"
80 long since that am beginning
to look forward with pleasant antici-
patton to lunch"
"Oh dear! l had no idea was so late
as that. Perhaps you had better scold
me. Somebody ought to do it. and the
steward seems little afraid"
You oyerestimate my courage. am
little afraid, too"
Then you do think / deserve it?"
Il didn't say that, nor do / think it,
j confess, however. that up to this mo-
ment | felt just trifle lonely"
Just a trifie! Well. that is fiattery.
How nicely you English do turn a com
pliment. just a trifle!"
Il believe, as race, we do not VEN
ture much into eomp,iment-giving at
all. We leave that for the polite for
eigner. He would say what tried to
say great deal better than l did. of
course; but he would not mean half SO
much"
"Oh. that's very nice. Mr.. Wentworth.
No foreigner could have put it nearly
SO we'll Now what about going on
deck?"
