The Horned Toad Industry.

Catching horned toads for the Honolulu
market is one of the growing industries OF
cold San Diego, better known as "Mexi-
can Town" Mexicans and Indians go out
upon the desert and catch these little
horned reptiles and sell them to the sailors

lulu 10 be utilized in eating flies. That
country is overrun with the pests, and as
the toads live upon flies and eat them for
mere amusement they are in great demand
They are shipped in boxes partly flled
with sand, and fed on flies during the voy-
aye. The toads ore sold at about 20 cents
each.
Mexicans do good business also In sell
ing horned toads To tourists. 1hey are
great pets with la'lies especially the chapi
settles, who belong to the smart set ana
affect the latest fads. They are charged
from 80 cents up for each toad. The cbapl-
| settles amuse themselves by parading the
| toads on the hotel piazzas during the lazy
afternoons and watch them swallow flies.
| Small bets are made on the ability OF thelr
fayorte toads to swallow the greatest mum
! Der of flies in given time. The swallow
| ing contest is watched with much interest
J by the attendant chappies, who take sides
and pay the bets, or rather forfeits, as they
are politely called. Toads are also boxed up
and taken east as curiosities. Catching

Working of the Boomerang.

The boomerang is an instrument used
both in war and in the chase by the
aborigines of Australia. 1t is usually
about feet in length, made of hard
wood bent into curve resembling an
obtuse angle, fiat on one side and round
ed on the other. The method of using
this curious weapon is very peculiar.
The thrower takes it by one hand, hold
ing the bent side downward, and hurls
it forward as if to hit some object 20 or
20 yards in advance. Instead of continu-
ing to go directly forward in accordance
with the Newtonian law, it slowly as
cends in the air, whirling round and
round, describing a beautiful and geo.
metrical curved line, till it reaches
considerable height, when it begins tc
retrograde, finally sweeping over the
head of the protector, striking the object
for which it was intended, which is al
ways in the rear.
This surprising motion is produced by
the reaction of the air upon the bends
and curves of the oddly shaped missile
Lieutenant Breton has this to say o.
the singular weapon: "The boomerang
is one Of the most curious weapons o
war ever invented, at least by a barbarou
people, nor is it easy 10 comprehend b.

Skins That Are Chased AS 'Cold TGrs" Ia

It seems contradiction to speak Of II
"coid fur" but that is what the Russians
style some OF the wraps that we in Amer
lea ignorantly consider warm enough for
the coolest climate A writer in Lippin-
colt says that the frat thing an Ameri-
can woman has to do when She reaches
Russia is TO reconstruct her ideas on the
subject of furs. Her beloved sealskin goes
far down on the list 1t is ono Of the
"cold furs" that no Russian lady would
care to wear as a lining-and it Is as lin

too tender The only thing it is good for
is a short Jacket to he worn between seas
ons, and then it must be used entirely Tor
walking. A woman who sets out on foot
i'm that garb must surely return ON ioot'
, for If she took II carriage or sledge she
would be running a serious risk.
The pretty squirrel skin is reckoned
among the "cold, +" cheap furs, and is given
! up to the unfashionable world, while the
mink, also "cold" fur, though expensive
enough, is used by men only, just as Is the
pretty notified skin obtained by piecing

who Pieccd Together Gibbon?

All the readers of "The Decline and
Fall'-that is to say, all men and women
of a sound education-have long known,
as Milman and Morrison told them, that
Gibbon did not write his own autoblog-
raphy-that is, in the form in which
we have it, Lord Sheffield very truly
told the world in 1895 that the Me-
moirs' he published chad been care
fully selected and put together. But
the world never knew the method of the
selection or the astounding freedom
with which they had been put togeth-
en-" We never suspected that the editor
had cut about the manuscript OF the
luminous historian" as if it were
schoolboy's theme; that sentences, de-
scriptions and distinct essays had been
clipped from one draft and soldered INTO
another in the middle OF a paragraph;
that delicious bits of satire had been ex-
punged, SO as not to awaken prejudice
or TO dim the solemnity of history;
that much of the fun, nearly all the
scandal and most of the inner personal
life had been eliminated from the Let
tersn We now sec that Gibbons liter
airy carcass was treated some such way
as hog is converted into ham.
But the mystery remains. If Gibbon
did not compose his own autobiography
who did? No one can read these seven
sketches of the historian without admir-
ing the unknown literary hand which
SO wonderfully wove them together ano
reset them into one harmonious piece
That hand, cannot doubt, was mainly
the fair hand of young girl. / have
seen an original letter of Lady Marl'
Holroyd, Lord Shefield's eldest daugh
ter, in which she says that she and hel
stepmother, the second wife OF Lore
Sheffield, care working busily at thu
memoirs, and are excellent devils. -

canary had been seized by the foot by
tame crow which occupied an adJoln'

die. however, and managed to get along
with only one foot. A short time after

Mr. John Stuart Mill has not failed,

thought to startle and dazzle the house
by his oratory, as Disraeli did when he
first rose to speak. Mr.. Mill has no ora
torical gifts, and he knows 1t, nor can
he be called rhetorician. He Is close
reasoner and addresses himself directly
to our reasoning powers, and, though
he has great command of language, as
all his hearers know, he never conde-

Mr.. Mill, we should say, cares very

such as that which Mr.. Horsman and
Mr.. Lowe can evoke would, we venture
