| BLUE UMBRELIA
By LIZZIE M. PEABOOY.
A tear slowly coursed its way down
ttlleen's smooth, round -cheek and
splashed upon ibe sewing inacbiue as
bar Aunt Polly s voice shrilled monotonously
on and oa.
With a sudden tian^e of mood the
girl stopped the ui*ion of the machine
and faced about
" "Tls blue umbrella all day loug,

out impatiently. "1 hated to carry the
faded old thing anyway, and now

And it."
Then she returned to her stitching
with a sob in her throat, while Aunt
Polly resumed her monologue.
"If Annette ,returned the umbrella,
where is it?" she asked with an air of
triumph. The thin, trembling lips
tightened as she continued: "Those
Plumbs! They're such a careless,
happy go-lucky, shiftless let I have
deter.j.ned that neither Annette nor

iy. "I don't think they want to
evuuv" '
When lending the umbrella to Annette
Eileen had whispered: "Return
it as swti as possible, dearie; Aunt
Polly values It for the sake ef bygone
.associations." And careless little Annette,
their neighbor, had proceed
with a sweet little giggle to retura it
within 24 hours.
Ever sine* that time she had stoutly
maintained that she brought back the
umbrella the night of Eileen's candy
party, and that she had set It In the
corner of. the little entry at the foot
of the stairway.
That was three months ago, and
Stacy and Annette had ceased to visit
the Waveriys; for Aunt Polly, although
constantly forgetting things of
greater importance, always remembered
to ask each time she saw them
if the umbrella had been found yet.
and fair-minded Eileen could not blame
them for remaining away, although
she missed them terribly.
When spring came the mystery was
as fqr from being solved as ever.
Eileen* had gr.iwn pale and thin,
Stacy had g??ne 10 a distant city to
work. Annette now greeted EUeeu
vary coldly, and Auni Polly, tiresome
ly insistent, still asked dally: ~ii Annette
brought back that umbrella,
where Is"lt?M
Then, one particularly bright and
warm morning. Aunt Polly told Eileen
that It would be a tine time to pot
things to rights in the attic, and KUe^p
gathered palls.* brooms, brashes and
soap, and sang at her work. She

On Toads.
"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
conclnsive." says A. H. Klrkland In an
article on "The Oarden Toad" in Roys' y
Life. "On the other hand experiments ?
have shown that toads tuny he kept
alive at least 18 months sealed np In
plaster or limestone. There 1? little
doubt that the toad may live to be
20 years old, or more.
'Though it lives alone In summer,
toads often hibernate In colonies, of
half a dozen or more. In feeding,
usually bv night, the toad patrols a
fairly well-defined beat; garden and
flower beds are frequented. and particularly
the ground under arc lights.
where numerous insect* fall fluttering
from the lamps above. When food Is
abundant, as shown by experiments on
toads in cages, the animal eats an
equivalent of four *onare meals daily,
consisting of caterpillars, cut-worms,
beetles, ants, etc."
First Clocks Simple Affairs.
The first clocks were simple affairs
which showed the hour alone; then
followed the addition of the mlnnte
hand, and later came clocks which recorded
the day of the month, the
phase* of the moon, and many other
pieces of information, generally of a
more or less astronomical character.
Daring the sixteenth century, the Italian
and German clockmakers, notably
those of Nuremberg and Angsburg,
made great progress in their art
There are those who claim that one
Richard Harris, aa Englishman, invented
and set up the earliesjt pendulum
clock some time during the first
four decades of the seventeenth century;
but this story does not appear
to be. well authenticated, and the
honor of Introducing the pendulum
seems to belong to the Dutchman,
Huygens.
