TOADS IN FOLKLORE.
They Have Strong Place in the
Belief of the Superstitious.

From the International Monthly.
No animal could be more unlike a
swan than a toad, yet the latter also
has u prominent place in folklore. Per-
haps such honor Is primarily due to
the very ugliness of the creature, just
as it has been affirmed that next to
personal beauty reverse aspect may
find favor with the fair sex: the main
point being to impress the memory.
At any rate. we find the toad distin-
guished in popular tradition, and that
m it's most permanent province. in
local worship and belief. The survival
is so strange in itself and so we'll
fitted to illustrate the primitive char
acter of fairy mythology that it may
be accorded particular attention.
According to the statements of DR..
G. Pitrc. contained in his excellent ac-
count of Sicilian tradition, the faith
of that island still recognizes superna-
ttlral being known as Dome di Fuora.
Ladies from Abroad. also entitled Pa
tronesses of the House. who have at
tributes in common with the fairies of
England. Like the latter. during the
night time they enter houses, where
they expect to find everything in Or
der: among mortals they have their
favorites and enemies; fortune is con-
sidered 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 entrances
by the keyholc 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 liberty to resume their proper
shape of beautiful women. During the
interval. the toad is sacred. because it
is impossible to be sure that any par
ticular one may not in reality be the
Lady of the House.
Legends abound in which are related
the reward or punishment consequent
upon the good or ill-treatment of a
Friday tond: on this day, therefore. the
usually unpopular animal is safe from
abuse and secure of attention. more

INCREASING CLEANLINESS.
Municipal Bath-houses Growing in
Favor in This Country.

From the Engineering News.
Within the past few years a number
of municipalities In this country have
established -year-round munici-
pal bath houses, while others have add
ed to the number of open bathing or
swimming places, which, for some
years past, have been maintained dur
ing the summer months. Information
collected for our forthcoming "Munici-
pal Year Book" shows that SO cities
and towns with 1900 population and
upwards, by the United States census
of 1900, now have either all-the-year
or summer public baths. These places
are as follows: Boston. Brookline,
Cambridge, Dedham. Holyoke, New
buryport, Quincy, Springfield. Water
town, Worcester, Mass; Providence,
K. L.; Hartford, Conn; Albany, Buff
falo, New York, Rochester. Syracuse,
Troy. Utica, N. Y; Hoboken. New

uted over is states. but Massachusetts
has 10 and New York of these cities
and towns. Most of the other states
are represented by one municipality
only. outside of the states of Massa-
chusetts and New York most of the
public baths are open only in the sum-
mer, and that is true Of some Of the
places in Massachusetts. 1t Is known
that Newark, Chicago and st. Pau
have all-the-year bath-houses.
In 1895. the legislature Of New York
passed an act which permits any mu.
inequalities of that state to establish
all-the-year baths and makes 1t COM
pulsory for cities of $4,000 inhabitants
and over to do so.
Municipal baths, often combined with
public wash-houses or laundres are be.
coming more and more common ii
England. ana the signs of the times
are that they will rapidly gain popular
favor in this country The laundry
feature will. naturally, gain ground
much more slowly than the baths
Thus far it has not been introduced ir
the United States further than 20 make
provision for washing the persona
clothing of the bathers. Drying closets
are also provided. so an unfortunate
man with no change of clothing may
be ensured of clean underclothes to put
on after his bath.
