Gardeners Ought to

K HOST persons are unaware of the great value of WI the toad
 ~vA We have heard of the gardeners of some of the European countries purchasing toads for their flower and vegetable gardens from men and boys who catch them throughout sections but the idea of breeding and protecting thes homey creatures in own land and possibly supporting toad farms, and organizing toad protective associations rather odd to us, but the time has arrived when simply must take hats off and actually toady to the toad
 The time will when, along with certain snakes which known to be of great value to farmers and gardeners the toad will be given every protec- ton needed to maintain it's value a wonderful de- sroyer of almost type of insect that is injur lous to great variety of crops.

The most general species is the com mon toad, of which there are four varieties to be found almost over the entire coun- try. These are commonly seen in gardens and about the dooryards after sunset
 Besides the common toad there are many varieties that are rare. This is especially the case with the tree toads, some of which are so colored as to be difficult to see, as they resemble the bark and moss upon which they crouch. The tree toad is smaller than the ground variety, and 8 very pronounced vocal sac distinguishes the male. The swamp tree toad, the cricket toad and the gray tree toad are the most frequently seen. The latter are so numerous in many locations, especially in the great fruit belts of the Central and

 An eminent authority,
 connected with the agri- cultural department of one of the leading East
 ern States, says:
 ''Toads, especially, are rapidly coming to have recognized value in the pro lection of fields and gardens. I am glad to say that the propagation of them in this country is already beginning. l may say that have always maintained that toad raising was both practical and profit able, while frog-raising was neither. All one has to do to raise toads is to provide puddles of water for them during the breeding season, in April, May and June. They will take care of themselves, and multiply rapidly if protected Lizards and copperheads are fond of insects, as also are land turtles. One of the latter will eat literally handful of June bugs with out showing sign of diminishing ap petite."

 Very Gorgeous NeU Linings Described by Lady
 Duff Gordon.

A suit of sand-colored taffeta has with deep inset plaits in front and at the sides furnishes generous walking facilities. A broad belt fastened in front and at tached to the skirt is of the same material The coat, of medium length, has the wide skirt, and broad revers of the taffeta set over a gay lining of red and brown bro- cade The loose blouse is of the same silk with which the coat is lined, and is fin ished with rolling collar. A small turban of sand-colored straw, saucily trimmed with two red wings, adds to the smart audacity of the costume.
 Hats more brilliant than at any season I remember display zebra effects. Small, close-ftting turbans or the narrow brimmed sailors are daringly made of stripes Stripes in black and white, in blue and white, in orange and white, in green and white, and even in red and white. Although I believe that their vogue will be briefer than that of the gowns. zebra gown, or suit, is auda cious, but may be rich and, If we'll made. lend distinction to the wearer But the wearer must have great personal distinc- tion to be able to 'carry off" zebra hat Indeed, it requires the courage of the leader of cavalry charge or the beauty of 6 Hebe to essay one of them.
 Heroism is shown, too, in the wearing of the crania colors of this season. Blue hats are always trying. Yet hat of the brightest blue, adorned with cherries of the reddest, surmounts determined faces of those who will wear the mode or die. Assuredly heroism is in the air
 The hats shown on this page are fash ionable, yet not extreme. Small turbans, wide-crowned, narrow-brimmed sailors and small hats with soft crowns and roll ing brims are sure of popularity. But al- ways is the note of contrast apparent. The red hat (and there will be many of these) may have bunch of yellow flow CTS. On the black hat inevitably m flames a flower of red, quill of yell

 Contrast is notice able even ip the less striking Spring cos tunes. In the smart costumethere must be sounded a note of con- trast.

With it is worn a belt of black and white ribbon. A long military coat is of black faille.
