Among the interesting features/ of life in the Muskoka lake couatry, in Ontario, are the floating stores. A good sized steam vessel fitted out with every imaginable item of merchandise that might be required makes a tour of an assigned chain of lakes ounce each week. Ob a certain hour of a certain day the boat is expected at the different resorts and swomer homes, and enopgh merchandise must be bought at each to tide over until the next trip of the floating store. Upon stepping on hoard the store boats, says a writer in Popular Me- chanics, the purchaser appromches a gounter with scales and cash drawer, as In any other kind of store. Behind the counter dre shelves, on which ave displayed such articles as may tempt the eye. Behind these shelves is the entrance to the gtoreroom and hold, in which more merchandise is stored. Each article has its place, and the storekeeper can find it in a moment. Sometimes Isolated farms om the lakes are not worth stopping at every trip, so a flag is flown when stores are desired. The store vessel drops an- chor when the signal flag is flown. and some member of the family, rows \ out and makes the purchases. inter Engravipd Gems of the Anciersts. Engraved gems are among the most interesting objects of art inherited hy us from the ancients, Though many of the cameos and Intaglios wese ea- graved op precious stones over £2,000 years ago, they are still as clear and fine as if they were cut yestirday. The designs engraved on these stgues indicate that the old Greeks and Ro- inans regarded themws charms ag? inst accident or misfortune. This siiper- stition generally took the form of a fondness for representation of certain animals. Sailors affected the doiphin | because it was beileved to be the mari- ner's friend. Women, so far as :fishes were concerned, preferred the »epre- sentation of the prolific aringa of the Adriatic, which was a symbol of fruit fulness because of the great mmumbwr fits eges. The apt was worn as un emblem of industry. By the frog was indicated the idea of resurrection, be cause that interesting batrachiap re- news its youth each spring by shed- ding its old skin.
