What n Toad Enjoys.

There are few things more amusing
than to watch a 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 un-
dergoes Il 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 6y
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 Pot,
ting as he wants, when, with pun OF
regretful delight, he will reduce MIN
self to his usual dimensions and hop
away. bent once more on the pleasures
Of the chase.

Prevention of Corns.

There are suggestions without num-
Der for the cure of corns. Any reputa-
BILE chiropodist and some who are not
reputable can furnish an unfalllng
remedy. But there is one sure way TO
nreyent them. Don't wear the same
pair of shoes two days in succession.
Corns are caused by friction on the
toes, and the most expert bootmaker
cannot make two pairs Of shoes which
will rub the feet in the same place.
The change of shoes gives the feet a
chance to rest. 1t is also good for the
shoes, and footwear which is treated
in this fashion will last much longer
than if put to daily use.

TOMATO GLUT AROUND MILFORD.
Last Week They We're So Plentiful that They
Sold For Ten Cents a Bsske,

Every tomato factory within 1C
miles of Milford was chock a block
last week with tomatoes, and growers
are face to face with the proposition OF
accepting and 10 cents per basket for
their fruit or taking it home for COM
post. This seems all the more STRANGE
when 1t is remembered that onIv three
days ago tomatoes were in good do
mand at from 30 to 40 cents per bas-
ket. Thursday morning at Milford
and at Harrington (two of the largest
yielding districts in the State) long
hnes OF wagons were waiting at the
factories to be unloaded, and at the
depOts buyers were slow in TAKING tba
fruit at even 10 cents. Growers ara
discouraged at the situation. as MANY
OF them refused to contract with the
Gamers at 81 per ton. while the price
offered in the open markets now maaps
for them but about So.
1t is claimed by some of the growers
that the present glut has been brouobt
about by weather conditions. They
say the excess of wet weather followed
by hot suns has caused tomatoes to
rlpen IN lunches and brought on the
Slut The Gamers are happy, of
and are now telling those that
refused IN the spring to contract with
lhem' that they expected Just this
hing. About 25 carloads of tomatoes
we're shipped from Milford last week
