Just as much as you like at one time.
You do not have to cook them the way
you must treat jams and jellies if you
want TO get the best results. Even
mixed pickles, some of which are
cooked. need be limited in quantity only
by the size of your kettles.
For most pickles whole spices are
best. There is one quick cucumber
pickle recipe which demands nothing
but mustard, salt. sugar and vinegar,
and the size. of course, CT the cucum-
bers.
All small cucumbers are the better
for standing in brine-two quarts of
water to cne cup Of salt-one or two
days before they are covered with the
spices and vinegar. A very good recipe
calls for one gallon vinegar, one quart
brown sugar, one-fourth cup mixed
whole spices and one sliced onion to
four quarts of cucumbers. After they
have been soaked in the brine they
should be drained and rinsed in cold
water. They should then be packed
in the jars and covered with the hot

under the coin. Then the monney
cannot slip out and be loose in the en-
felope and in danger of wearing its
way through.
Very often a coin is held safely in
side the inclosed self addressed and
stamped envelope sent for return reply.
When the inner envelope is folded to
make it 60 into the outer envelope, the
coin is doubly protected, although the
flap of the folded one is not sealed, of
course. This method is perhaps the
next best to the commercial or home
made coin card way. A secure way,
often used by readers, Is to fasten
strips of adhesive paper or surgeons
tape acress coin on the letter paper.
Coins are frequently put between two
pieces of paper or soft cloth, few
stitches are taken around or across the
inclosed coin to hold 1t fast, and then
it is put in the letter with a request
for a pattern. The coins are a trifie
less bulky when so sent, and they do
not work their way through the outer
envelope. But because the bulk Is not
the slight unevennesS indicates an in
easy to detect.
Another way Of sending coins in
letters is to fold lower corner of the
note paper around one before folding
the sheet of paper to fit the mailing
envelope. The coin does not slip out,
although the thickness of the letter is
slightly increased in one spot. This
same trifling bulkiness is noticeable
when coins are wrapped around with
scrap of paper. This and any Of the
methods given. besides others equally
ingenious, have the desired security
against the coins working through un-
sealed portions of envelopes or actu-
ally through the paper. The least
secure of all ways is to drop a coin in
an envelope after the latter and self
addressed and stamped envelope are in
1t and then seal the envelope. There
is no security then, although, even so,
many reach their destination. Such
hazards, however, can be guarded
against, especially well when the coin
card is used.

SUMMERTIME
Habits Of Toads.
BY d. G. PEATTH.

"OADS hate dry weather, and as
the Summer lengthens out, and
even the best Of water holes
L sometimes dry up, we see more
of toads than at any other sea-
son, for they migrate toward water
across burning fields, down roadways,
even through gardens near the city, to
find that nice, damp spot for sitting
down in what Is life as it should be lived
to all toads. They are the thirstiest OF
all creatures, and yet no one has ever
vet seen a toad drink. This is not due
to any propensity for drinking on the
sly; the reason Is that he drinks
through his skin! When you find him
on the damp moss Of some old George
town cellar steps he Is actually, II some
what phlegmatically, taking drink.
Most of our toads are highly noe
turnal. They not only dislike, ! suppose,
the heat of Summer day, but after
dusk they are safer from their enemies,
the snake, hawk and child, and more
apt. to find their favorite food, which is
slugs. One toad in your garden Is worth
it's weight in gold, for while you sleep
and the slugs come out to destroy your
vegetables Master Toad is abroad,
quietly licking them up as fast as he
can lumber about after them. He shoots
out long, stealthy tongue and licks the
Shiny slug down in a single flick, then
he blinks contentedly and goes on his
slow, rustling, harmless way.
Our common toad, called bufo by the
BIOLOGISTS can be distinguished by those
who have the curiosity to observe from
the rare spadefoot toad by the fact that
the common toad has no teeth, while
the species of scaphiopus has some teeth
in the upper jaw. Bufo is usually olive
or brown, with irregular blotches of
dark brown, his lower parts a dingy
yellow, but sometimes he puts on
gaudier costume and may blossom out
in brick red, or go into heavy mourn
ing, in black The spadefoot toad is
brownish, with slightly paler band ex-
tending backward from each eye, the
sides sometimes ashy mottled. The
spadefoot is miner; he spends almost
all his life underground and comes forth
but rarely, always at night.
Unlike the frogs. the toads are not,
in the District at least, aquatic animals
except in the egg stage. Yet they do
not inhabit trees, like the tree frogs.
