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, lov- ing 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 doing most valuable serv. fce with no other compensation than that of immunity from persecution.

Retold for Tourists. The Bale-Geneva express, says the Btandard’s Geneva correspondent, was overcrowded the other day and trav elers had to stand in the corridors of the second class coaches. One tour ist saw a seat vacant, but covered with luggage and asked a passenger sitting near whether the seat was “occupied.” “Yes” replied the stran. ger, “the man 8 in the restaurant wagon and will return soon.” There the matier ended until the express reached Lausanne, when the owner of the baggage prepared to get out, “Pardon me.” sald the tourist, “that luggage does not belong to you.” and called the guard The latter sided with the tourist and the whole matter was placed before the station master, The selfish traveler had to prove, plece by plece, that the luggage on the seat belonged to him, and he fin ally was obliged to pay for two seo ond class tickets. : Various Earthquake Sounds. Earthquake sounds are described as variations of heavy rumbling, so low in pitch as almost to be more felt than heard (in many cases inaudible to per sons who are deaf to very low tones), and belonging to one or another of the following types: 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 miscellane- ous sound. In strong earthquakes the sound area occuples a central region (on an average two-thirds) of the dis turbed region; In moderate earth quakes the two areas are approximate. ly of the same magnitude; while In many slight earthquakes the sound area is larger than the disturbed area. As a rule the beginning of the sound ‘precedes the shock, and the end of ‘the sound follows the end of the Laundry goes out Wedndaday, March 11, SasteveweB000000000e 0 PIRB, LIFE and ACCIDENT INSURANCE Consult us W.
