The Toad's Tonuue,

The skillful manner in which pet
toad used it's wonderfully formed
tongue entitled it to be ranked as an
expert. For one thing, 1t showed
wonderful skill in judging distances.
The tongue was never darted out until
the insect came within certain range.
The accuracy of the creatures aim
was another matter for surprise. The
insects were generally in motion when
the tongue was darted out against
them, but the arrow never failed to
hit. The rapidly with which the
tongue was shot forth excited much
wonder. The operation is complex
one. The tongue is doubled or folded
up when in the mouth. Therefore a
twofold action is required, an uncOil-
ing of the weapon and then the dart
ing of it forth. The withdra wing Of
the tongue with the captured insect on
the tip was not less remarkable. Not
withstanding the rapid motion. the
6neness of the tongue tip and the
struggles Of the prey the victim was
never dropped

Graves In China.

There are various kinds of graves In
China. The graves are dug generally
from twelve feet to thirteen feet below
the ground, while, according to an old
custom, the mounds of the graves Of
emperOrs were thirty feet in height,
those of territorial lords fifteen feet
and those Of barons without territories
and of lord stewards eight feet, while
for inferior officials and common peo-
pie mounds only four feet in height
were erected. Pines were planted on
the tombs Of emperors, species Of
oak on those of territorial lords, a spe-
cies of willow on those of barons and
lord stewards and elm trees on those
Of inferior officials. Although there
are no territorial lords and lord stew
ards now in China, men of high rank
still have their tombs constructed In
accordance with this old custom.

"For stoicaI Indifference and tacl-

Knoxville. Tenn, who was visiting IN
louisville a few days ago, Il never
saw any one that could equal the heh'
lucky mountaineer.
"Two years ago / was camping our
ing the summer with party OF young
men and women in the mountains.
During our stay there we became ac-
ouainted with an old mountaineer
whom we called Sam. He always re-
ferred to his wife as Maria, ana we
fell into the same habit
last year we returned to the same
Mace to camp. AS we were going up
the mountain path on our first day out
we met Sam walking along apparently
in a deep study.
"Hello. Samr we all called. Where's
Maria?
"She's comm back there" he said,
directing his thumb backward over his
shoulder
1--WE went on up the mountain path
and a short distance farther came upon
a party of mountaineers transporting
dead body in rickety wagon. 1t was

when we were informed that the de-
ceased was Maria. Sam had not thought

He Loved His Enemies.

James MacNeill Whistler looked
upon life as upon kind Of warfare
and was never so happy as when he
was quarreling with somebody. He is
quoted as having said when asked if
he did not have many friends: Eyes,

full to them, but those whom most
love are my enemies, not in Biblical
sense. Oh, no, but because they keep
one always busy. always up to the

HandIebars, Corn and Reaches,
Dear Miss Doom;

Dear Miss Doom:
kindly tell me what will remov rust
from the handlebars of a bicycle; also
how to can corn; also what is good
for reaches. and oblige, ANXIOUS.
Kerosene, applied with a flannel,
Will remove the rust.
To can corn put tender ears of corn
in a colander and let a little hot water
run over them for a moment. Then cut
the corn from the cob, seraping out all
the juicy pulp Inc rejecting the hulls.
Pack into sterilized pint Jars, working
the kernals down compactly with a sill
yer knife. When filled to within an
inch of the top dissolve for each quart
can a %teasponful each of salt and sugar
in three-quarters of a pint of warm
water apd pour over the corn. Adjust
the lid without the rubber and steam
three hours in a boiler. Then take out
nut on the rubbers and tops, screw
lightly and cook th~ree-quarters of an
hour longer. The boiling must be con-
tinuous.
There are a number of patent roach
foods on the market, and most OF them
are excellent. One of the best reme-
dies is to sprinkle cake with arsenic,
and sprinkle the cake crumbs on the
closet shelves and wherever necessary.

PUSSY MOTHERS.

Children are often worried because
their mothers are too attentive n
continually reprove the small ones
without reason. A child should be let
alone and be allowed to play or amuse
itself in its own way without the con-
slant direction of a nervous mother.
\ boy, for example, enjoys more a few
simple toys and something which his
own ingenuity has worked out thai
the most elaborate plaything which has
been bought. In the same way the lit
tie girl will lavish her affections on a
misshapen doll, probably made at
home. while the most artistic pr ae-
ton of the toyshop will lie in state, to
be taken up on rare occasions.

When shall l again be glad?

Went my way with eager zest;
Now the winds are blowing i'll,
Sorrow fingers in my breast.
Youth has left me suddenly.
Dreams that l have cherished lone
Have departed, leaving me
With no heart for cheerful song.
Darkness seems to lie ahead.

Hopes that l possessed are dead;
Sadness mocks me everywhere.

Yesterday my heart was brave;
All my joys have taken flight;

A NEW COLLAR.


A variation in the popular Dutch COL
lar is the collar with a point in back
instead of the simple curved edge. A
collar of his description ON a lavender
linen suit Goa has its outline still
further varied by having the deep point
in back cut off square. The o collar
n the turnback cuffs and the fitted
box plat, extending from shoulder
seam to shoulder seam in back, are
deliberately embroidered in self-color
Similar embroidery appears on the deep
hem of the hobble skirt.

TURNING SHEETS.

Sheets as they begin to wear should
be turned sides to middle. Sew the
selvages neatly, not drawing the thread
too tight. or there will be a hard seam.
In this way the middle part, which has
had all the wear, will come to the
sides. Where economy is studied, it is
advisable to treat towels in the same
way.

BOsTOy COPPER MARKET.

(By Badger Bros. Private Wlre)
Boston, Aug. 1O.-The copper shares
showed continued strength and increas-
ing volume OF trading. Around noon
activity lessened some but prices held
firmly. The recent betterment in cop
per dominion has at least lessened the
share Of offerings so that the buying
demand is more effective. 1t is now
expected that the August production
metal report will show a substantial
decrease and the heavy buying OF last
month will begin to show in the same
report and without unforeseen accidents
the August metal report Will show a
greater decrease than in January which
was 1000 goo pounds.-HoVey, Kenny &
Co
