WHY LAMB AND MINT SAUCE
Trace Custom So Popular In
That Country.

Lamb is the only meat with which
mint sauce is partaken, and England is
the only country where the custom is
pract1ced.
The latter fact seems to disprove the
idea that 1t originated with the Jews,
else 1t would have been adopted in
other countries where the race FREEDOM
mates to an even greater extent than
in our own. Hence, also, it could not
have originated or been associated
with the bitter herbs" which were
eaten with the Paschal lamb.
When one remembers what are the
vegetables usually eaten with lamb, we
get a clue to mint sauce And it is
one that leads us to what is probably
the true reason Of its combination with
lamb. New potatoes and green peas
are the adjuncts immemorial time has
led US to associate with the flesh OF
the lamb. These, our forbears de
cided, were provocative Of indigestion
and therefore An adjunct must be In
troduced to correct this tendency
Mint during all ages has been asso
ciated with such an Office The Latin
poets have broken into song regarding
its merits, and the giver of feast
never thought Of laying the meat on
the table until the boards had been
secured with this herb. So, in add

bears were kept for food. Spices and

OYSTER RAISING IN HOLLAND

In the Industry represented by oyster
cultivation, Holland is the most sys-

more elaborate methods than any other
country In the world. The numerous
sounds that indent the coast of Hol-
land, particularly in the region of the
River Scheldt, afford excellent facili-
lies for the propagation of the oyster

most successful oyster industry In Eu-

threatened exhaustion of the fisheries.
and the beds have been carefully sur

to individuals and companies, who are
thus enabled to conduct the propaga-

ner that insures the best results from
the territory available. Many growers
lease several tracts In different locali-
ties, and adapted to different purposes
which facilitates the various opera

From time to time somebody pro

Just why we should not go ahead
and accept 1t as fact that the best
treatment for most diseases is rest, we
do not know. 1t is well settled in
science as anything pertaining to dis

greatest benefit; that most diseases
are the actual result of fatigue of one
kind or another. The human body is
able IL take care OF itself when it is

Fraudulent Old Clocks.

The brass lantern clocks of the six
teenth and seventeenth centuries have
made a strong appeal to collectors,
and this fact has led to the manufac-
ture Of replicas Of the old clocks.
When these are sold frankly as rep
hcas, there Is nothing to be said
against such q practice; but, unfor-
tunately, the matter does not stop here
and too often the attempt is made to
palm of an imitation as a genuine
old clock Famous makers names are
added and various expedients adopted
to make the new clock pass muster as
an old one Such frauds are deplora-
BILE from every point of view, and the
ignorance of many collectors makes
success possible Every one, it is OBJ
vious, cannot possess a genuine old
clock. 1t would be well If this fact
were faced, and the clocks bought
simply as reproductions, by all those
who are not in a position to make
reasonably sure that they are really
purchasing a genuine old English
clock.-Christian Science Monitor.

Nature Has Not Equipped All crca-

It Is a very curious fact that the
loudest sounds are not always made
by the largest animals. The roar Of

only heard, without seeing, a bullfrog,
might well suppose that its fearful

an animal Of formidable dimensions.
Perhaps the most remarkable case
OF vocal power In an animal Is that
encountered by a traveller In the high
lands of Borneo. He was informed
Dy some natives that they had heard
tiger roaring In the neighborhood
Such news is always startling to a
stranger in the Jungles, and hardly less
SO to the natives.
An investigation was accordingly set
on foot, which resulted in the discov-
cry that the alarming roars had been
emitted by toad! This toad Of Bor-

That the natives should not have
recognized the true source of the

such roads was either unknown to
them, OF at any rate. they had never
discovered the remarkable vocal capa-
bilitieS Of the animals.
In this relation Bates tells Of an In

to supernatural origin. Possibly the
noise was so loud that they missed its
location by searching only for some
thing Of corresponding physical dimen-

Many stories are extant tending to
show that toads have been found alive
In rocks or In soil deep In the earth
yet so far as investigated by the writer
In no case has the evidence been, at all
conclusive" says A. 81. Kirkland in an
article on 1.-THE Garden Toad" In Boys
Life. ION the other hand, experiments
have shown that toads may be kept
alive at least Is months sealed up in
plaster or limestone. There Is little
doubt that the toad may live to be
20 years old, or more
Though II lives alone in summer,
toads often hibernate In colonies of
half a dozen or more. In feeding
usually by night, the toad patrols a
fairly well-defned beat; garden and
flower beds are frequented. and par
hculariy the ground under arc lights,
where numerous insects fall futtering
from the lamps above. When food is
abundant, as shown by experiments on
toads in cages, the animal eats an
equivalent Of four square meals daily,
