No such bargains in holiday goods were ever offered anywhere
as those beautiful brush and comb sets we are showing. The
truth is that they are the manufacturers samples and that ex

pending on whether the sets arc put up In ebony silver or other
materials. There are no two sets alike. The brush, comb and

There are some new and very pretty vases, both in Wedgewood

them.

What a Toad ENJOYS.

There are few things more amusing
than to watch toad submitting to the
operation of a back scratching. He
will at first look somewhat suspicious
ly at the twig which you are advancing
toward him. But after two or three
passes down his back his manner I'M
dergoes marked change, his eyes
close with an expression OF infinite rap
ture, he plants his feet wider apart and
his body swells out to nearly double
its ordinary size, as if to obtain by
these means more room for enjoyment.
Thus he will remain until you make
some sudden movement which startles
him, or until he has had as much pet
ting as he wants. when, with puff Of
regretful delight he will reduce him
self to his usual dimensions and hop
away, bent once more on the pleasures
of the chase.

Eskimo AIHthnlorr

Among the Eskimos the sun is a
maiden, and the moon is her brother
who is overcome by wicked passion
for her. Once as this girl was at a
dancing party in q friends hut some
one came up and took hold of her by
the shoulders and shook her, which is,
according to the legend, the Eskimo
manner of declaring ones love. She
could not tell who it was in the dark.
and so she slipped her hand in some
SCOT and smeared one of his cheeks
with it. When light was struck in
the hut, she saw to her dismay that it
was her brother, and without waiting
to learn any more she took to her
heels. He started in hot pursuit And
so they ran until they got to the end of
the world, the jumping off place, when
tieg both jumped into the sky. There
the moon still clases his sister, the
sun, and every now and then he turns
his sooty cheek TO the earth, when he
becomes SO dark that you cannot see
him.

There is Il sainl bank at Connemara.
on tile west coast OF ireland, that is the
Mecca OF every curiosity seeker who is
fortunate enough to know OF its exist
ence. As Il general thing sand banks
are not q great attraction, but in this
particular case the attractive power is
not in the sand itself. but in the mil
lions of extinct minia ture shells which
are almost as numerous IS the grains
OF sand with which they are intermin-
gled. The largest of these little Won.
deTs is smaller than the smallest pin
head and some of them so minute that
they can easily be put through the eye
OF common sewing needle, yet each is
as perfect as the pearly nautilus, the
spider shell, the sea urchin or any other

They are OF all shapes and forms i'm.
aginable. One will have the perfect
outlines of Il miniature basket, another
will look like a fairy's tobacco box,
While third needs no effort OF the i'm
agination to give it the form of a bot
tie. The fash shells of Ceylon and Aus
tralia are the only living representa-
dves of these genealogical wonders.
NaturnliSts who have examined the
Ceylonese fash shells say that each is
filled with u tiny bit of tellylike sub
stance, which OF course is the animal
itself, but which is SO intinltesimal that
no distinction can be observed between
head and heart, mouth and stomach.

Rhine, where he owned tower, which
is at the present day pointed out to
travellers as the Mouse tower Here are

TIE POWER oE Truth

We pluck sweet flowers by the way,
But, all, how soon they wither
And die within our feverish grasp!
Still more we run to gather.
Until our arms are over full
OF dead offensive weeds.
And backward lies barren past
All strewn with tickle deeds.
But, ah! here is one modest bloom
That lives through all the strife
And breaths a cooling quiet
Into the wild, hot life.
1t is little bloom of truth
1t grew where fell repentant tears.
1t speaks of love, of vanquished Death,
OF peace throughout the rolling years
