Lawful money is anything which will be accepted by the of a state legislature, or a police captain, or your wife. Incomes were created for two purposes; to He about and to live beyond. Many people who will not have to pay any are complain- to their friends and neighbors about the way they are oppressed by the Income tax.

Ill-Favored Creature Hat Been and is Just Beginning to Be Appreciated. Few well-meaning creatures have been more thoroughly misunderstood than the homely, meditative And toad. Formerly the toad was considered a venomous reptile, but in our day its habits have been more carefully observed and Its great value to tho and gardener bas been fully established on account of Its propensity for destroying insects. We should, therefore, cultivate the friendship and assistance of the In- reptiles. Including the striped snake, as well as that of the birds. Every tidy housewife detests the cockroach, mice and other vermin. Two or three domesticated toads would keep the coast clear of these and would be found more desirable than a cat, as they are wholly free from trespassing on the rights of man as does the cat. The toad Is possess- ed of a timid and retiring nature, dark corners and Shady places, but under kind treatment becoming quite tame. Many Instances might be cited of pet toads remaining several years in a family and most valuable ice with no other compensation than that of immunity from persecution. In Europe toads are carried to the cities to market and are purchased by the horticulturists, who by their aid are enabled to keep in check the of the Insect tribes which prey upon their fruits, flowers, etc. Innumerable Connected From Time Immemorial With Wild Creatures. There are very many superstitions connected with wild animals. In the case of a lion, it is believed that the wearing of a claw of this animal will bring great strength. People connected with circuses and shows have a saying that when lions get restless and uneasy, either HI luck or extremely bad weather is at hand, and that when they continually wash in cat-like fashion they are likely to have fits of HI temper In the near future. Numberless are the superstitions associated with the tiger. The natives of India believe that its whiskers are a deadly poison, and that when finely chopped and secretly put into a per- son's food they will assuredly cause death. What is as the is greatly dreaded in India, and to avert this parents hang the claws of tigers round the necks of their To see a wolf is supposed to be a good sign, but if a man sees a wolf before the wolf sees him. then he will become dumb for the time or lose his voice. For a hare to run across anyone's path is considered a very bad sign In some parts of England, because In olden times it was believed that witch- es transformed themselves Into hares In order to bring bad luck to their mies.

The express, says the Standard's Geneva correspondent, was overcrowded the other day and had to stand In the corridors of the second class coaches. One tour- saw a seat vacant, but covered with luggage and asked a passenger sitting near whether the seat was replied the man is in the restaurant wagon and will return There the matter ended until the express reached Lausanne, when the owner of the baggage prepared to get out, said the tourist, luggage does not belong to and called the guard. The latter the tourist and the whole matter was placed before the station master.

Various Earthquake Sounds. Earthquake sounds are described as variations of heavy rumbling, so low In pitch as almost to be more felt than heard many cases inaudible to per- sons who are deaf to very low and belonging to one or another of the following The passing of wag- ons, thunder, wind, the fall of a load of stones, the fall of a heavy body, an explosion, or some other sound. In strong earthquakes the sound occupies a central region an average of the dis- region; in moderate earth- quakes the two are approximate- of the same magnitude; while In many slight the sound area Is larger than the disturbed area. As a rule the beginning of the sound precedes the shock, and the end the sound follows tho end of the shock. Spoiled the Show.
