How a Brontossurus Looked.

In form and appearance the bron-
saurs were quite unlike any living
animals. and are remotely related to
the lizard family, says Walter Beasley
in St Nicholas. They had long,
thnck tail like the lizards and crocO-
dies; long flexible neck like the
ostrich a thick, short, slab-sided body;
straight. massive, pOstlike limbs, sug-
gcsting the elephant, and a remarkably
small head for the size Of the beast
The ribs and limb and tail bones are
exceptionally solid and heavy, while
the yertebrae Of the back neck and
tail. on the contrary are lightly con-
structed The ribs are half foot
wide a number Of them weighing more
than one hundred pounds each. A
single footprint OF the creature must
have nearly covered a square yard
upon the ground

arranged as TO give vest effect. In
tie illustration nut brown taffeta is
trimmed with bands Of the material
embroidered in shades OF brown with
touches OF gold, but various combi-
nations might be suggested. The
shaped bands can be either Of the
Jame or contrasting material. and
sither embroidered or trimmed in
any way that may be liked.
! The jacket IS made with fronts
and back, all OF which are tucked
and stitched with belding silk. The
trimming bands are shaped and are
arranged over the jacket on indi-
Gated lines, leaving the narrow
space at the front that suggests the
vest. The sleeves are the pretty
ones that extend just below - ell
bows and are tucked al their lower
edges. where they are completed By
bands that match those upon the
Jacket
The quantity OF material required
Tor the medium size Is four and
quarter yards twenty-one. three and
4 half yards twenty-seven or two
yards forty-four inches wide. with
seven and three-qusrter Yards OF mar
-ow braid and two and a half yards

TrroWina the Wsddinq Shoe.

How Old is the custom OF throwing
the Wedding shoe? In the House
keeper it is stated that the custom of
throwing one or more old shoes after
the bride and groom as they start on
their Wedding journey Is SO old that
the memory of man stretches not
back ID the time of its beginning.
Some writer's have surmiSed that it
is a lingering trace OF the custom
amoug savage nations OF carrying
away the bride by violence, but the
more probable conjecture is that it
is a relic Of the ancient law of pur-
chase implying formerly the surrend-
er BY the parents Of all authority ov.
er their daughter. 1t certainly has a
likeness to an old Jewish custom men
toned in the Bible in the book OF
Ruth" There, when the kinsman
of BDsz gave up his claim to the in.
heritlnce of Ruth, and to Ruth, also,
he indicated his concession by pluck
ing of his shoe and giving il 10
BOaZ The shoe was once held to be
the emblem Of rule, as shown by the
medieval custom Of placing the hus-
bani's shoe on the head OF the nup.
tiai couch, in token OF his domination
nf the house.

GRAY SQUIRREL BABIES.
Small as a Peanut, Blind, Hairless and
Born-When?

It's a dull day now when ,ue nature
folks don't set into a new squabble
OF some sort Just AT present the read
ers OF Suburban Life are torn up over
the question OF gray squirrels.
Says Edward Howe FCvbush: The
gray squirrel brings forth its young
annually, | think in May, hut often
has another brood late in August or
early in September"
This sounds all right TO the unna-
tured person, but not so TO s. II.
French. who says: From my expert
ence in raising gray squirrels | can
say that usually they are born in Feb
ruary and March, although / have had
some litters as late as July. In fact,
at this writing, on March 10. | have
a nest OF little ones that were prob
ably born two or three days ago. The
young squirrels resemble young rats
and when born are about as large as
a small peanut.
They are. OF course, entirely de-
void of hair and we do not notice any
indications i'm that direction until they
are three or four weeks old. Their
eyes are not open until the age Of six
weeks; from that time on they secm
to develop quite rapidly, but seldom
leave the nest until they are from 10
weeks to three months of age.
"At that time they become quite
playful, a good deal after the manner
of kittens. especially when everything
is very still where they are located.
They are naturally very shy, and il is
difficult to handle them with any de-
gree of comfort. as they squirm and
fight TO free themselves"
