When you go to buy suit OF furni-

ment stores you don't have to specu-
late as to how 1t will look In your room
nor whether 1t will fit In or not. AS
soon as the salesman sees that a par
ticular suit has met your fancy he calls
for a porter or two and turns them
loose In one of several rooms fitted up
around the main showroom, setting
them at work removing all the furni-
ture In It. Then the suit that you seem
to be laundering after Is placed In ap-
propriate positions In this room, and
you can see at glance just how the
bedroom or parlor or dining room will
look If you buy that particular suit
There are a dozen of these smaller
rooms around the main showroom, and
as each one Is decorated In a different
manner 1t is easy to pick one out that
approxlmates the scheme Of your room
at home. Like many modern ways Of
selling goods 1t Is expensive in the be-

Every tiny toad lays. a stupendous
number OF eggs. A scientist Received
1888 eggs from one toad, necessary
fertility, since the chances OF an egg
developing into toad are less than
one In a thousand. Within two weeks
after the eggs are laid the young tad
poles begin to appear and feed first
on their gelatinous envelope. Next the
Shiny deposits common to ponds and
swamps are attacked. Steadily grow
the young wrigglers until their bodies
enlarge to the size of thumb nails by
the end of June. The long tall now Is
absorbed and the legs develop. They
begin to hop on the bank and disperse
never to return save In the breeding
season. 1t is at the spring of the year
that the toads awake from their win
ter sleep below the rocks and scrub.
They often have been literally frozen
stiff, but they return to life as healthy
as ever and on the first balmy night
migrate toward the nearest breeding
pond. Usually this is the old home
stead where they were born, for the
toad Is a domestic animal and will
travel a mile or more for the sake. of
