There are many very good people,
people of irreproachable character. who
are never liked because of their want
of tact. They are hospitable and like to
entertain, but they ask known enemies
to little family dinner. They expose
all their little household economies to
their guests. They never spoil story
for relations sake" If guests are of
different religions or politics. they in
troduce the subjects and give most de-
cided views which do not convince and
only irritate. A lady is told that her
hat is unbecoming or n man that he
made a bad speech. They never have
any appreciation of the fitness Of
things.
Tact IS of great Importance If one
would be agreeable or retain friends. A
man without tact can never exert a
strong influence. He can never become
q great leader. Tact is needed in every
calling in life.-Philadelphia Ledger.

.ToADs IN FOLKLORE.
SiciIian Superstition Concerning the
Ugly Little Creatures.

Ugly Little Creatures.
The toad has a prominent place In
folklore. We find the ugly little crea-
ture distinguished in popular tradition,
and that In its most permanent prov
ince, in local worship and belief. The
survival is so strange in itself and so
well fitted to illustrate the primitive
character of fairy mythology that 1t
may be accorded particular attention.
According to the statements of DR..
g. Pitre. contained I'm his excellent ac-
count OF Sicilian tradition. the faith OF
that island still recognizes supernatu-
raj beings known as donne di fuora
Qadies from abroad. also entitled pat
ronesses of the house, who have at
tributes in common with the fairies of
England. Like the latter, during the
nighttime they enter houses, where
they expect to find everything in order.
Among mOrtals they have their favor
ties and enemies. Fortune is cOnsid
cred to result from their kindness,
sickness and poverty from their perse-
cution.
1t is a peculiar feature of their habits
that they visit the domicile not on any
evening indifferently, but only on
Thursday, making their entrance by
the keyhole or by cracks of doors. If
day surprises them before they leave
the cottage, they change into toads and
in this state remain until the following
eve, when they are once more at liber-
ty to resume their proper shape of
beautiful women. During the interval
the toad is sacred, because it is impos-
sible to be sure that any particular
one may not in reality be the lady OF
the house.
Legends abound in which is related
the reward or punishment consequent
upon the good or i'll treatment of Fri
day toad. On this day. therefore, the
usually unpopular animal is safe from
abuse and secure of attention, more
especially If 1t chance to belong to a
species possessing particular arrange
ment Of the cuticle reminiscent of q

occupies himself with folklore becomes
accustomed to remarkable survivais,

so perfect an illustration of prehistoric
thought in central Europe of the twen-
tieth century.-Internation Monthly.
